Noted Lumberman Writes Con
cerning Street Improvements
In Marshfield.
The following self-explanatory
letter from C. A. Smith, head of the
C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufac
turing Company, has been furnished
to The Times by J. E. Oren, general
manager of the Smith interests on
Coos Bay, and will be of much Inter
est to local people:
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 13, OS.
Mr. J. E. Oren, Mgr., C. A. Smith
Lumber and Manufacturing Co.,
Marshfield, Ore.
Dear sir: I am just in receipt of
yours of the 6th advising that the
city council has decided to pare with
asphalt, or as It is called bitulithlc
rock, the business districts of Marsh
field.
It Is so utterly preposterous that It
really does not seem possible that a
city council wi)l actually make a
contract for the paving of the Btreets
with asphalt. I cannot understand
lit. In the, first place, the city is not
big enough or far enough along to
warrant such extravagance as paving
of any kind. In the second place,
even though asphalt cost less money
than woo'den creosotod blocks on
concrete foundation, the wooden
bjocks woujd be preferable even
though they cost considerable more.
Of course, I do not know what as
phalt paving will cost nor what
creosoted blocka on concrete founda
tion would cost in your city, but I
am satisfied that the asphalt will
cost, if properly put down the way
that contractors are forced to lay
It here In the east and large cities,
twenty-five to fifty per cent more.
These small cities as a rule do not
get that kind of asphalt. I noticed
for instance Reno, Nevada, asphalt
thej know what to do with why In
the name of common sense don't they
build some sewers and if the property
owners have more money than they
know what to do with, as they surely
must have, if they desire to throw it
away in this manner, why don't they
for Instance build a hospital or raise
the necessary funds for the operation
of the dredge which would go, In my
Judgment, farther in building up a
city. Metropolitan airs by a strug
gling infant city does not take well
by investors but Just quite the re
verse. If the people at Marshfield
are actually desirous of building a
city, they must see to it that money
spent for Improvement is spent with
the very best business Judgment, and
it is certainly my duty and especially
your duty being on the ground, to
see to it that no such serious mistake
as the throwing away of large sums
of, money on metropolitan airs, Is
done at this time. It is not only the
first cost, which In my judgment ia
the smallest, but It is the affect that
such extravagance will have on out
siders coming there with money to
Invest.
Hoping that you will do what you
can to prevent this verv serious mu.
(take, I remain,
Yours truly,
C. A. SMITH.

J. H. Flanagan Makes Position
Clear Regarding Coal Bank

In the matter of the new draw

WASHINGTON, July 23. The
Key. Zed D. Copp. probation nmror nt

discovered a solution on the n.
problem. His theory Is that a pprtnin
disease which afflicts negroes, turn-'
ing their skin white, is caused by a
the bridge which" is well' known to the
subscribers to the fund for Its con
struction. It was built in' fulfillment
of a contract entered into between
mysfelf and Mr. C. A. Smith as an
inducement to him to locate his saw
mill where it Is at present establish
ed. In addition, to the xonstructlqn
of the bridge, and certain other pro
visions, a tramway was to be built
connecting the drawbridge tflth the
mill property and the monev- sub
scribed by the people ot Marshfield

and in-order not to delay the comple
tion of the project, I took upon my
self, personally, the responsibility of
uuvancing the funds necessary to
complete It.
All that Is asked of the county
court In order to have the bridge
turned over to it is to refund tn m
the amount that I have advanced to
carry out the acrpemnnt nimtm re
ferred to, amounting to about $1,000.
Considering that the hrlil.ro. and
approaches alone o.nst in the neigh
borhood of ?5,500. it would seem no
more than n business proposition for
tlie county court, inasmuch as It has
need for the bridge, to advance the
amount asked. It does not seem
reasonable that It should ask to have
the bridge entirely donated. We do
not hear of it receiving nM, na
tions often.
