Council Agrees on Paving Spe
cifications of the Routine
Business Transacted.
The Marshfleld City Council at Its
regular quarterly meeting Monday
night adopted tho plans and speci
fications for paving Front street
from tho city hall to 'A' street with
wood blocks as early as possible. It
was agreed that the remainder of
Front street should be paved Im
mediately after the first part Is com
pleted, tho Idea being to not have
too much of the thoroughfare block
ed at one time.
The specifications provide for a
six-Inch concrete foundation, a one
Inch layer of sand on top of which
shall bo placed sound whlto cedar
blocks eight Inches long, four inches
wiao and four inches deep. Tho
estimate is that It will require 1,5 5 C
square yards or paving tor Front
street from the city hall to 'A' street.
City Engineer Sandberg estimates
that It will cost ?4,523 or $2.92 per
square yard.

S. n. Beloate's application for a
telephone franchise was summarily
settled Monday night by tho council
rejecting It by a vote of three to

absent. Mr. Belonto wanted a fifty
year franchise with the provision
that he be allowed two years In

ported that Wnshlngton street and
other thoroughfares were in bad

mediately taken to repair them lest

ing possible damage and possibly

pair Washington as soon as possible

sower problem was made a special
order of business for a session of
the council to bo hold next Monday

Projectors of New Marshfield
Hotel Decide to Get New Ar
chitect and Rush Work.
At a meeting of the Coos Bay
Hotel Company, the projectors of tho
new $75,000 hotel for Marshfleld, to
be called "Tho Chandler" yesterday
arranged to rush the plans and
work. Owing to tho delay in secur
ing the plans from tho architect who
was first given the work, it was de
termined to take the work from him
and give it to another.
J. S. Coke and other officials of
the company are in telegraphic cor
respondence with Portland architects
and expect to rush things from now
on. Mr. Hendricks of the Portland
architect firm of Bennes, Hendricks
and Tobey, who will be here in a
day or two to arrange plans for the
new Marshfleld high school will also
bring a prospectus for the hotel, it
is expected.
Just as soon as the plans can be
secured, the contracts will bo award
ed and tho building rushed.
"The delay so far has been occa
sioned entirely by the architect's
failure to keep his promise to have
the plans prepared," said Senator
Coke this morning. "We decided
that we must get the hotel .started
soon and as the plans were not
ready yesterday, wo decided to get
a now architect. Wc regret the de
lay very much. However, we are de
termined now to rush matters as
rapidly as possible."
E. D. La Chance, a prominent
young business man from Hlbbing,
Minn., is in Marshfleld to negotiate
for the lease of "The Chandler." He
Is a friend of A. H. Powers and
Jake Goldle and comes highly re
commended. It Is likely that he will
be given the management of the
property.

home at the northwest corner of 'A'
and Front streets next Sunday, un

report of a means of dealing with It
and also on adjusting tho dlllleultv
arising from the Intout to defray tho
cost of tho promised sower by as

heretofore It has boon the 'custom
to pay for sewers out of the city's
general fund.
Hold l'i I'Yunrliisp.
The granting of another franchise
to tho C. A. Smith Lumber and Ma
nufacturing Company allowing It to
use additional streets for Its logging
road was deferred. Tho company's
original franchise down Pennsylva
nia avenuo to Sheridan, then along
Sheridan to Queen, thenco on Queen
to Broadway and down Broadway
nas ueen iound unsatisfactory and
It Is desired to get a franchise on
Alice and l)' streets.
Aidermnn Sacchl and some others
thought that if tho company wanted
to change to other streets, it should
forfeit Its right to some of tho
streets originally' obtained so that
thero would bo a guarantee that it
would not iiBo too many of tho
streets. It was Anally agreed to lav
tho application on tho table for tho
tlmo being.
Fair Makes no Difference.
The petition of F. P. Norton nnd
others that the council postpone tho
improvement or Burnett street be
cause tho fair directors wanted tho
street loft the way it Is in order that
It might be utilized by them during
tho Second Southern Oregon district
fair was summarily disposed of.
Mnyor Straw said that the rcinmi.
strnnco was not signed by a sufficient
number of property owners. Also
that tho city council could not let
tho fair hold up Its work. Ho said
that It wns not certain that tho fair
was going to bo held and that while
ho wished to bco It mndo a success
If It was hold, ho wns opposed to
holding back city work on account
of it.
Tho Nov. Father Donnelly nnd

Levithians of U. S. Navy Sight
ed Off Cape Mears by Coos
Bay Vessel-
PORTLAND, April 7. Whllo off
Cape Mears Friday the steamer Al
liance, Captain Olson, from Coos Bay,
was passed by the United States bat
tleships Tennessee, Washington nnd
California, which aro bound from
Maro Island to tho Bremerton navy
yards. They are a part of tho Pacific
squadron and were in command of
Admiral Sebree.
On first sighting the big sea fight
ers, the officers and passengers on
the Alliance could not make out tho:r
Identity. Tho weather was ratner
thick and at first it was conjecture!
that they might bo Japanese men-of-war
prowling around on this side of
the Pacific for the purpose of ex
amining tho coast defenses and pos
sibly to take a passing glimpse at
the American Atlantic squadron
which will soon be at San Francisco
On nearer approach tho names of
the trio were learned. With great
clouds of smoke rolling from the
stacks they shot by the Alliance like
the fabled haro passing tho slow
plodding tortoise. The ships kept
close together in single file, tho
Washington taking the lead. She wa
followed by tho California, and tne
Tennessee brought up the rear. Each
was bowling along at the same speed,
the distance between them never ap
pearing to grow less or greater. The
information was later gained that the
craft were going to the Bremerton
yards for cleaning and painting.
When put in good condition they will
return to California to join the
Atlantic squadron ana take part in
the naval display that Is being plan
ned. Except a little rough weachor
which was encountered, the warships
furnished the only excitement duvlng
the run of the Alliance from Coos
Bay. They were the only topic of
conversation throughout the remain
der of the trip to Portland. Ono
enthusiastic passenger wanted to
wager with someone that the Un'ted
States navy will be the greatest on
earth in tho next 10 years, but on
account of the long time to wait to
get the money, there were no takers.
The Alliance brought a cargo of
general freight and a full list of passengers.
