The first attempts to pave streets with wood, three-quarters of a cen tury ago, were failures, and for years after that no satisfactory pro gress was made. The blocks were round, which left large, unequal spaces between them. Their edges broke down and wore off, the wood rotted, and the pavement was soon uneven and rough, and therefore dif ficult to clean and Insanitary. At the present time, through the selection of suitable woods, cutting the blocks into rectangular shape so that their edges may lie close together, and treating them chemically to increase their durability, wood pavement Is better In many respects than any other in common use. It is smooth, quiet, resilient, easily cleaned, and easily repaired. In wearing qualities It is superior to macadam, brick, or asphalt, and inferior only to granite and sandstone. In sanitary qualities it exceeds all but asphalt. No road surface is easier to draw a load upon, or, as it is put in technical language, none offers a lower "traction resist ance," and none is easier to keep clean. Creosoted wood pavement stands above the average In smooth ness, freedom from dust, mud, noise, reflection of light, radiation of heat, and ease of maintenance. Tho first cost of creosoted wood Is greater than that of macadam, brick, or asphalt, but not so great as gran ite or sandstone. On tho other hand, It must be remembered, it exceeds any of the first group in wearing qualities. Too much weight Is some times attached to the initial cost of creosoted wood and too little to Its counterbalancing durability, which Is equally important in calculating In vestment returns. It costs from $2.40 to $3.50 per square yard, laid as compared with an average of $3.50 for sandstone, $3.26 for gran ite, $2.30 for asphalt, $2.0G for brick, and $0.99 for macadam, in a number of cities in which a study has been made. Cedar has been extensively laid in tho Middle West, and oak, cypress, white pine, homlock, western red cedar, cottonwood, mesqulte, Osage orange, redwood, Douglas fir, and tamarrack In various cities of the country. Untreated American red gum, tried in England, raised great hopes, but It 'finally proved unsatis factory. Pavement of Australian eu calyptus has lasted for from fifteen to twenty years In tho streets of Lon don. It is more slippery, however, than American woods, and its cost, about $5 per square yard in tho Unit ed States, Is prohibitive. In recent years the difficulties which attended the use of wood pave mont havo been largely overcomo by better methods of handling, treating, and laying tho blocks. Creosote is tho best of tho preservatives in com mon use for wood pavement. Since It is Insoluble in water, it does not leach out, nnd if a sufficient amount is injected into tho blocks It prevents tho entranco of water, which weak ens tho pavement. Tho blocks should bo rectangular In shape. For hoavy traffic thoir dopth should bo not less than 4 inches. Tho usual width Is 3 or 4 Inches, and tho best length from 0 to 10 inches. They should bo laid with tho grain vertical, on n coneroto foundation having u thin surface cushion of sand or other ma terial. Tho Forest Sorvtco has recently Is sued n publication, Circular 141, which deals with wood paving In tho United States. This publication can ho had upon application to tho For ester, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. SHIRT WAIST SALE, Friday nnd Saturday at tho Ladles Emporium.

GOOD EVENING ii An obstinate man does not k X hold opinions, but they hold y, him: for when ho Is once pos- H sessed with an error, it Is like X a devil, only cast out with great difficulty. Bishop Butler. The Coming Topic. We might as well begin right now And memorize again The list of Presidential votes In Arkansas and Maine, And learn to trip them glibly In Our everyday debates, For that's the coming topic In our United States. Wo might as well get at it, As we've often done before, And learn If Indiana has Eighteen or twenty-four, For that's the great essential That immediately awaits The art of conversation In our United States. If Bryan lost New England, New York, and Idaho, What- others would he have to get? Is what we've got to know, For that's the sort of thing to which All talking gravitates With proper provocation In our own United States. The fellows who a,re posted Are the men that win cigars And drink their booze for nothing At the few regaining bars, For they've memorized the figures, And they're loaded for debates In a Presidential season In our own United States. Post Dispatch. It Is usually the bald-headed duffer who makes the most fun of a girl's red hair. When a Coos Bay man can see through a shirtwaist, he doesn't know what it is ho sees. It doesn't pay to keep as friends those who love you for themselves a loan. ' Why do we say, "He follows the sea for a livelihood?" Doesn't the sea stand still? ' The charge of the light brigade at Balakalava was nothing compared to tho charge of tho light brigade at Coos Bay. I know for I paid tho bill. A Coos Bay man says he would not mind wearing mourning if he could choose the subjects for which the crape might be worn. The usual topic was being discuss ed in Geo Goodrum's store. The usual topic of course is "girls." There were two representatives of the topic present. "Pacific coast girls," remarked one of the fair callers, "are taller than Southern girls. "Yes," replied George, "and," he added, as If In compliment, "they are heavier also," and then ho wondered why they laughed and they wondered how George was so expert on the weight of girls.

DRAIN, Oregon, June 18. Fire tally destroyed the hotel at Boswell Springs, two miles south of here, to gether with all of its contents. While tho origin of tho fire is not definitely known, it is reported that it was caused by the upsetting of a lamp. This famous health resort, which was owned and oporated by the late Capt. Ben D. Boswell, for about twenty years previous to and up to the time of his death, which occurred a year ago last May, and since that time by his widow, was originally known as Snowdon Springs, a name derived from the first settler on tho premises. It Is quite unlikely that Mrs. Boswell will try to rebuild. The property loss, all things considered, Is probably not less than $15,000. There was only one guest in the hotel when the fire occurred, a lady, and she lost her entire wardrobe. MANGOES FISHING; NEVER COMES BACK. Young Married Mnn of Roscburg Dis appears Prom His Homo Under Peculiar Circumstances. ROSEBURG, Ore., June 18. Tak ing along a rod and line and saying he was going fishing, Charles Troub, aged 21, married and the father of two children, left the home of rela tives, one mile south of this city, last Sunday morning about 9:30 o'clock, and has not been seen since. The rod and line were found yesterday morning on the bank of the river, one mile below the house, and it was at first presumed that in some man ner Troub had been drowned. The river, which Is very low at this time of the year, was searched and drag ged, but no body was brought to light. It Is now believed that Troub simply left the neighborhood, which belief Is supported by the fact that he ran away from his former home in Ohio shortly before coming West throe months ago. So far as known he had no family troubles or any dif ficulties that might have Induced him to destroy himself. t- TO MARRY WOMAN HE BLINDED. COLUMBUS, Ore., June 18.
