SC ' t, i , ai The Sentiment Is Unanimous for Improvement of Busi ness Thoroughfares. ' WOOD BLOCKS ARE'IN UNIVERSAL, FAVOR State Fish Warden Van Duseh Says Coos Bay Should Cultivate Oysters. Floods of oratory were turned loose at tho Chamber of Commerce Friday night. Tho condition of Marshfleld's streets was pictured In lurid terms. The establishment of a biology station on Coos Bay was dis cussed, and tho prize essay On' "How to Improvo Marshfleld's Educational Facilities" was read. Vlco President Smith was the presiding officer, and President McCormac, who arrived at a lato hour, took part in the proceed ings. Street Improvements. The question of street improve ment was opened up by Hugh Mc Laln, of tho firm of Masters & Mc Lain, contractors. There aro six kinds of pavement, the speaker'sald, namely, Belgian block.bjtullthlc, as phaltum, vitrified brick, , macadan and wood paving, or wooden block, Tho latter, Mr. McLaln nialntaned, is best adapted to Marshfleld's pur pose. He cited the fact thdft Ih'dVan apolis ships wood for street paving from Oregon, and that ' Marshfleld, surrounded by tho best of cedar tWj;, her, has tho advantage of saving tho long transcontinental haul. Mr. Lelnemvebbcr. . Mr. Lelnwebber, representing tho W. P. Fuller Co., followed. After paying his respects to tho miserable condition of Marshfleld's 1 streets,1, Mr. Leinenwebber advocated tho use of treated wooden blocks.' -HISj Arm has carbollnium tot sail, and he. Indicated that he favored letting the street paving contract to Masters & I McLaln, a local Arm, who Tvould uso his carbollnium In treating tho' blocks. Tho speaker pointed out the ' advantage of wooden blocks when re pairs aro necessary, and tho advan tage in having local contractors on tho ground to do the repairing. Mr. Leinenwebber thought tho condition of Marshfleld's streets warranted im mediate action, and stated that prop er respect for the ladles demanded better streets. P. H. Clnrko Talks. Francis H. Clarke was called on. Mr. Clark did not peel off his coat ana lace tne auaienco win ma uduu, ( enthusiasm, for ho declared he haa never built any streets. The speak er admitted, however, that ho had taken cognizance of the very unsat isfactory condition of tho muddy streets, and wondered if it were not feasiblo that some day, Marshfleld had a street car system which had sunken out of sight in tthe sof streets. . i Jnincs Haines Orates. James Balnes rolled up Ills sleeves, and sailed Into tho street, iniproying 'business in the city of .tya'i'shqeldj Mr. Balnes stated that bo had been In Marshfleld the greater 'portion df his life, and to his certain knowIeHijq tho streets wero in no better condU tion than they wero twenty-two yea.rsj ago. The Balnes estate, ho stated! Is one of tho heaviest tax payers, end Its taxes had been raised 50 per cent tho past year, though its holdl,ng aro non-revenuo prod-icing. Mr! Balnes dijew an Impressive. Riftiyo oj the policy of taxing tho noa-re-jenjj.e producing property of tho suburbs for the building of nice clean streets, while ho mud Is so allowed on tho principal business streets oflkho city to grow so deep that teams with only tho createst difficulty can, pull through them. "When you' 'have a council that will lay such, a liability, on non-revenue producing outside property, and permit 'th,e ,ialn streets, where tho properly brings good rent, to reach such, avondltlon, there is something "wrong, some where,"' thundered Mr. 'Ilalrtes, and ho was loudly applauded, J tm1v Draws Comparison. ' A. H. Eddy, vthe artjiltoct, -as' called, jar. jyuuj M(vji jj J." i -ii nrror thn Pftcittrt ;mriaRt irl the paBt'lOO years, nfo''ad in all his experience he had no"t"ee In h. city where tho business streets 'bail, been permitted to get into such AWul condition. ' IJIqlogj- Station.' When II, G. VaniDusen, state fish warden, was called on, interest In! MarslifleldB street situation had 'reached 'such rt 'pltah thfit'thcTstate officer felt that ho would bo a butt- Llnsky to talk anything but streets. However, after promising to send down a shipment of carp to turn, loose In Marshfleld's business streets ifj they wero not improved before he visits the bay again? Mr. Van Duson, launched Into the subject of a biology station for tho bay, with its attend-, ant possibilities in tho propagation of oysters and lobsteis, and deep sea flailing, etc. The speaker stated that ho had been agitating and working for tho establishment of a station on tho Oregon coast, and gave thepeo pto to understand that it's up to them to get it hero. He has taken tho mat ter up with tho state university and denominational universities df tho state, and all are anxious ,for a bi ological station on tho coast, where they may 'bring students for study and experimentation. Mr. Van Du sen also hopes to fnterest the gen eral government In thb "station; and believes an appropriation of $25,000 Cr more can be hqd from congress to fit up an experiment station, once It is started here. "It developed that tho Chambers of ComiercfaofMarshn0ld and North Bend have been 'working along tho same lino, with the fish commissioner, and the project of a, station is.,, well under way.' The Marshfleld Chamber of Commerao has a commuhfcatlcSn frdm "President CamnboJl'of the ptnte, university,, inv which he indicates that Institution's anxiety to bade up the enterprise hero. L. J. slmpso'n has already of fered a free slto at Sunset Bay.1 The mills have1 indicated tha; they wlltf donate tho lumber, a.nd It is now upf' io ine iwo commercial 'douios iir .ie- vi3e. means jto setuj'th'e labor.. Tho. flsh commissioned thinks' the oyster industry can be'ffelnstated; that pos sibly lobsttors, aid orab&.may beconiQ a valuable commercial commodity as soon as the railroad Is1 completed, and that deep sea fishing may surprise the people as soon Ms' tlfe matter Is tested out. He thinks the people of the bay will pass up a' most valuable op portunity if they fall to get -the bi ological station. Oybter Theory. Mr. Van Duson's theory of tho 0 s ter on Coos Bay Is that at one time the sand spit across the bay from North Bend, to the westward, was ocean, making tho bar 'much farther in than at present. During that per iod, according to the fish -oSnmission-er, there was enough salt water and enough fresh waten near Marshfleld to create favorable conditions for tho Vster. Tho bar moving outward left oo much fresh water, and tho oys ers died. . , . , i President Asks Question. i President McCormab related 'tlio Indian theory as the causa-of thetde cjine of -the oyster industry n Coos Bay. Tho Indian legend Js o tho, ejrfect that following tho' big Are, that' ashes fftfm 'the "woods' "wasTi-d inter the bay, forming a kind o( 'fye'wliicK' --vart ,1on11v tn nvstera. tr.
