The time has nirl.-ed when the d"ftlon of paving will have to be thoroughly discussed by those who may be interested in the progress of Coos Bay cities. The present condi tion of streets which are regarded as of principal importance is enough to make most of us somewhat ashamed. Only a short time ago it was considered impracticable to have a street parade of a certain fra ternal society in Marshfield be cause of the condition of Front street and the home society was hu miliated for that reason. There are, It is true, some arguments against paving, but tho more they are ex ploited the more distressing tho case becomes, and the more evident It is that legislation will have to bo invoked to get rid of several re straining provisions of the charters of tho two cities, which prevent tho city from expanding or acting as a decent metropolitan community should net. But, legislation or no legislation, tho streets! will have to be put into shape and tho sooner thoso having it In clinrge get down to business, tho more credit will accruo to them. In paving tho streets of tho Bay cities tho usual economic questions must bo considered, but the question of greatest Importance Is whether tho material for good, substantial work can bo furnished nt home. Even If It should cost a little more than tho imported article, It would pay tho public to patronize homo resources, homo labor and homo in dustries. That is the way to make tho city prosper and to increase the population and the value of tho property which must bear the bur don of tho Btrcot Improvement. Now it so happens that this section has tho raw material and equlpmnot to turnish tho very best kind of pave ment. This Is n timber country nnd tho cedar necessary for paving with creosoted blocks enn be supplied cheaper than anywhero else. By using this form of prvemont homo industries aro patronized, a largo amount of money is kept at homo and tho activities of tho community are increased. More thnn this. It Is now settled thnt creosoted blocks laid on a rive Inch Portland ce ment concreto base, Is equal to using this form of pavement homo Is believed by many impartial ex perts to bo better than asphalt, brick or othor material. It is tho most durable, requires tho least attention and Is smooth and freo from that lino powdered dust which onuses so much complaint In tho caso of as phalt and brick. Besides this, iho fir and cednr of tho COos Bay dis trict aro harder and hotter for this purposo than that bmployed in tho east. Tho larger cities iuo making use of creosoted blocks for pave mcntB to an Increasing extent each year. Thoy hnvo been successfully tried in Portland and hnvo Ions; been in uso in Minneapolis, wlitio thoy hnvo tho unstinted npproval of both authorities and people What misleads many with rofor enco to tho creosoted block is thut thoy confuso it with tho old sedur block pavoment which proved in sufficient. Tho creosoted block pavoment is as much superior to tho codnr block inothod as asphalt Is superior to cobblo stones. Tho old defectivo cednr block pavoment wira laid on a plauk bnso und tho rot ting of tho plank caused tho blooks to ho forced down by heavy traffic 'jiressure, so that tho planks were punctured and holes and depressions 'loutly rondorod tho Btrcot Jm S - ulo.

Coos Bay is, therefore, fully nble to furnish the material for the very best and most durable and satisfactory pave ment now known and to import ma terial would be extremely poor busi ness from any point of view. HARBOR OBSTRUCTIONS. The far sighted man of action and affairs who anticipates conditions and provides for them before they aro realized, Is tho great benefactor of his generation, and while his plans may bo designed for self-advancement their merit consists in the fact that he can not build well for himself without building for others. The great Smith mill shows In its construction and location this quality which builds on a basis which Is not In danger of being thnn anything that comes to mind, and more especially as to the Marsh field end of it. To illustrate: Some two months ago a man by the name of Gibson .appeared in Marshfield and proposed to build a hotel. That made every man sit up and take notice. In fact they did more than that. Abo.ut $20,000 was subscribed to assist In the enterprise. "The long-felt want" was about to be supplied, "the crying need" was about to be. remedied. Another dream : The "crying need" became a "howl," "the long-felt want" became actual misery. The daily paper here took up the cry. With the only hotel In the city turning away as high as 50 people in one day something had to be done, and done right away shifted or of becoming an obstruc- j Fortunately Marshfield had a tion where it was Intended to be a man who was equal to the situation M.

Since that time the required amount has been raised, most of it by voluntary enterprises have been inclined to , subscriptions. There is no doubt encroach on that water front and ! now that the hotel will be built, and extend it into the bay or into the inlet, the Smith company have set theirs back' with a view to widening the channel. The failure to appre ciate the demands of tho near fu ture in this respect by so many who have made use of the water front for business burposes, is a matter of regret. The bay and the Inlet will both have to be dredged and the abutting owners should guard the advantage which a wide channel ind a deep one will give them. Tim committee of tho Chamber of Com merce which have, tho Port of Coos Bay in' charge should take it upon itself, to investigate all encroach ments which are made on deep water and take all necessary steps to compel tho rbmoval of all ob structions which are improperly and Illegally left to disfigure tho bay and minimize its value. right away.
