S. I'ratt and to provide for a city In spector of electric lights, gas, electric wiring and gas Installation. Tho or dinance will provide a penalty for Its violation. "Tho new ordinance is tho out growth of a declaration made by Councilman I'ratt recently that tho quality of gas furnished consumers In this city Is far below tho lcqulrcd Htuudard and tho expressed belief that tho same is true Of the electilc light. Most of tho coiiucilmcn were agreed that tho quality of gas furnished is far inferior to what it should bo.

J JJB i'JJJ1 IT Willi; HE IJL'Hr. pOH several days past mysterious pasteboard cards about two inches wide and two feet In length liavo been making their appearance around Marshfleld and North Bend. On tho cards are printed the words, "It Will Bo Built." No ostentation marked the Initial appearance of tho cards; fow peoplo knew tho meaning of tho Inscription on the long narrow pasteboard when first they began to make their appearance In store and olllco windows. Inquiry developed tho fact that tho words referred to tho Coos-Douglas electric railroad. Soon everybody came to know this and gradually tho first feelings of surprisO and curiosity died away Into nonchnlcnt acceptance and the mys terious card boards lost their glam our. Now after what has doubtless ap peared ot outsiders as weeks of inac tion on tho part of Coos Bay people regarding the olcctric road has cul minated and Coos Bay can send tho news broadcast that $50,000 lias boon subscribed for tho proposed electric link botween Douglas county and Coos. That leaves a total with tho Lane quite nnturally takes the po3i tion that when the city of Portland give3 awny n franchise its wording should bo straight, clear, and to the point, and not hidden In a variety of catch phrases. 0.0 3.7 CENSUS ItEPOKT. A CAREFUL study of the lumber and timber report of the Census Department published elsewhere In these columns will not be amiss. The department has compiled some highly Interesting figures dealing with saw mills, logging camps, values of timber and sawed logs and the growth of tho industry. It is pleasing to note that the figures com piled by the department show that since 1900 the most rapid growth of tho logging Industry has been among the Pacific Coast states. Nothing could Illustrate more clearly the de velopment of this section of the United States. OFFICIALS ABE SUMMONED. Now York, July 2. Three Stand ard Oil officials, Charles M. Pratt, L. O.
