PHYSICIANS DECLARE
ELECTRICITY HARMFUL.
Tho Illuminating Engineering So
ciety of Chicago held a mooting tho
other day nnd Invited n number of
oculists to bo present and tell them
what they, had discovered In latter
day methods of lighting dwellings,
offices and stores. They wcro In
formed by the eye-doctors that tholwith his fnthor in his gasoline boat,
much-talked-of advance in methods b' belnS thrown onto the engine as
of Illumination introduced in tho last,1110 l,oat camo I" contact with an
century had beou in many ways a ret
rograde moveniout.
Tho doctors strongly condemned
the incandescent light bulbs anil as
afrougly recommended tho old-timo
kerosene lamp of our fathers. Ac
cording to tho authorities represented
at tills nicotine our country leads tho
world In tho brilliancy of its illu
mination, and it also loads tho world
In ocular exhaustion, discomfort and
congestion. AVhen gas carao Into
general uso these troubles began to
increase, and a further lucreaso was
evidenced when tho incandescent
electric light becanio tho fashion all
ovor the laud.
Both In Amorlca and the, European
countries tho oculists agreo that tho
old korosono lamp is tho least nariu
ful artificial llluniinant and it Is al
leged that tho incandescent lamp has
given riso to more chronic eyo degen
eration than any other light used for
night work.
All tho doctors said that tho Incan
descent light could bo made with a
llttlo trouble as harmless as tho kor
osono light, but nobody sems to
want to tako tho trouble,
Tho de-
ma ml is for moro nnd brighter lights
and tho whole troublo is with tho
eyes and not with tho light. Tho il
lumination is ontiroly too bright and
will in tlino lead to partial, if not
totnl blindness.
Everybody hns noticed tho groat
lncrcaso in tho nunibor of peoplo
who nro using glasses during tho past
few years. Tills Is true particularly
with tho young. Whllo no doubt a
portion of this Is due to tho fact that
many adopt tho uso of glHses be
c&UBO they have an Idea that thoy add
dignity to their appearance, tho ma
jority nro using thorn through necess
ity. It is mattor which Is growing
upon us as a people, and is really
alarming.
Janios Cole, former assistant
United Stntoa nttornoy for Oregon, is
in tho rnco to socuro the republican
nomination for nud consequent olec
tlon to tho office of prosecuting at
torney for tho Fourth Judicial dis
trict to succeed John Manning, tho
present Incumbent.
WAN! MAILS
HERE ON TIME
Coos Bay Pushes Crusade to
Secure Prompt Service, but
Encounters Red Tape.
Sec. Walter Lyon of tho Marsh
fleld Chamber of Commerce Is push
ing tho movement to secure better
mail service for Coos Bay and Coos
County. The long delays In tho ar
rival of the malls day after day with
scarcely a gleam of hope that some
bright day they may arrive on time
has almost driven Postmaster W. B.
Curtis and the citizens frantic. North
Bend, Myrtlo Point and Coqulllo are
having the same experience, and are
anxious to aid Marshfleld In the cam
paign. Recently Mr. Lyon took tho mat
te up with tho postofflco department
which Informed him that Postmaster
C. W. Park3 of Roseburg could ad
just it, there being a rule whereby
ho should require the driver of tho
mail coach to swear that ho would
deliver it on schedule time before
turning tho mail over to him. Mr.
Lyon called this to Mr. Parks' at
tention and has received a reply from
him. Mr. Parks says that the govern
ment allows only $32.79 for a round
trip between Roseburg and Coos Bay,
tl'at he Is aware that Contractor Fen
ton is not doing the work on time but
says ho is powerless. lie says tlw c
Ik- tried to get other to try tho work
but could not do so for tho money
paid.
Mr. Lyon has forwarded this to tho
postofflco department at Washington
and it is expected that the situation
will bo remedied shortly.

oxpeutod also that tho sonator will

meeting iu Portland just before tlo

vlow his work in congress and for the
last timo answer tho allegations that

HEME'S A GOOD
SI
J. L Bowman Thinks Informa
nt n Bureau in Portland
Would Be Profitable.
DEMAND FOR INFORMATION
Announcement in Portland Papers
Inundated Him AVith Inquiries
"Will Open Clothing Store Here.
"The Coos Bay boosters should
open a publicity and Information bu
reau in Portland at least, and In
other gate cities of the west If possi
ble," said J. L. Bowman, of Portland,
ono of tho builders of tho new Coos
building, who is already extensively
identified with tho commercial inter
ests here, and who is in Marshfleld
arranging for tho acceptance of tho
new structure from the contractors
and for starting his high grade retail
clothing store In the new building
hero May 1.
"Coos Bay has been well advertised
and hundreds of people are anxious
to find out something about it, but
can't. You know they come into
Portland from all over, expecting to
get information there as to the best
place for them to locate. Well, Port
land people seem to know Coos Bay
is a good place, but are not acquaint
ed with tho details a prospective resi
dent wants to know. As an Indica
tion of this, I will cito you my own
experience. I ran a couple of ads in
the Portland papers about Marshfleld
and Coos Bay in order to get tenants
for the new Coos building. The
day after tho ad appeared I had
at least one hundred inquiries about
it. They came in person, telephoned
and -wrote. Of course I couldn't do
anything but boost Coos Bay by mere
ly telling them the plain facts about
Its prospects."
Mr. Bowman's new clothing estab
lishment will In Its appointments and
tho class and character of the goods
handled be equal to any in the state
of Oregon. It will occupy tho cor
ner store room in tho new Coos
building, which has been especially
fitted up for it. The floor of polished
hardwood is only a detail of the care
that was given in having 'it finished
and fitted up In the most modern and
up-to-date manner. In addition to
tho popular priced line of Oregon
clothing made by tho Brownsville
Woolen Mills, that havo a reputation
all over tho west, Mr. Bowman will
also carry a high grade lino of strictly
hand tailored clothing that will be
made especially for his Coos Bay
Store In a factory in which he i3 per
sonally interested in New York City.
Mr. Bowman lias demonstrated his
qualifications in tho clothing lino by
establishing tho largest retail cloth-1
ing business in Portland, as well as j
conducting an extensive wholesale
clothing establishment that supplies
over three hundred merchants in Ore
gon and on the Pacific coast.
Mr. Bowman Is exclusive agont for
tho Brownsville and Salem Woolen
Mills, handling tho entire output of
their factories.
"I am also interested in a Now
York tailoring and clothing estao
lishment which makes a specialty of
flno clothing," remarked Mr. Bow
man to a Times reporter, "and I am
going tliero tomorrow to select a lino
of high grade goods of strictly up-to-dato
styles for tho now Coos Bay
Store, and which will bo mado up ex
clusively for this place."
"Tho now store will bo handsomely
furnished throughout, nnd it is my
aim to make It tho best In this sec
tion of Oregon. I have great confi
dence in tho future of Coos Bay, and
realize that in order to keep apace
with or ahead of tho rapid growth
and development hero I must put in
only tho best."
