We have on hand a limited number of high class seasonable suits which we will offer at reduced prices in a
sale commencing today, Saturday, Aug. 22nd, ending Saturday, August 29th. The sale will continue
for one w cell, although most of the garments will have gone long before thcn.h If you come early you will be
sure to find your right size in a suit of rich pattern and marked easily within your means. This sale will be
unusual because the sizes are pretty well distributed not any one size predominating.. These garments have
been specially selected for the sale instead of being dumped in a heap and passed on to the public as a bargain.
The very pick of our surplus stock has been set aside and reduced because we aim to make just as favorable an
impression by our reduction sales as we do through our regular sales. If you're trying to squeeze through the
season on a scant wardrobe, we advise you to get the clothes you need now because, if you're forced to supply
yourself later, it will cost you much more money. ., , ...'..
As an additional special we have included our entire stock of fancy vests at 33 J -3 off regular prices,
as it Is unquestionably the greatest price cutting on high class merchandise ever
offered to clothing buyers in Marshfleld

ARCHITECT HENDRICKS WRITES
TO THE TIMES CONCERNING
HIS PART IN THE FAMOUS
DOUBLE DECKER.
Editor Coos Bay Times
Having got my name mixed up In
the Marshfleld building ordinance
controversy, kindly permit mo to put
myself straight before the public.
Some time ago I was requested by
tho city attorney, Mr. Farrln, to look
over a building ordinance for the
city of Marshfleld (compelled by
him). While most of the features of
the ordinance were good, some wero
perhaps a little Inconsistent, but my
main objection to it was its uncom
pleteness. I agreed to revise this ordinance
and make it now complete. In do
ing so, I used most of Mr, Farrln's
compilations, which I understood,
were taken from tho ordinance of
the city of Eureka, Cal. Additional
matter brought in by me was taken
from the city of Portland ordinance.
After having finished the compilation
I turned it over to Mr. Farrin for
his revision and have never heard
or seen anything about since, until
this matter was brought up.
The feature regarding erection of
frame structures in the fire limit was
taken from Mr. Farrln's ordinance
and left by me with slight alteration.
I reasoned that for a city the slzo
of Marshfleld, perhaps It would not
bo prudent to be too strict as it
might retard Its upbuilding.
An Injustice, of course, would be
dono the man who puts up a sub
stantial brick or concrete building
by tho raising of tho insurance rato
on his property If a frame structure
goes up adjoining his.
However, I do not believe it Is
working so very much of a hardship
as people generally think for sev
eral reasons First, should a man de
sire to build a brick or concreto
building in tho business district ho
has tho old framo buildings on at
least one sido to contend with no
matter where ho goes, hence he Is not
going to bo benefitted to any great
MI JOKER" lii THE FIRE
LIMITS ' ORDINANCE
all suits in the
priced to sell at
$ 1 4 are now
extent by low Insurance. From ex
perience, I know that the "old
shacks" aro going to be patched up
as long as possible or until the
ground gets to be so valuable that
It does not pay to keep them.
Secondly Any prudent man that
is going to make a permanont In
vestment in a business block knows
that, while tho first cost of a brick
or concrete building Is more than tho
same building of wood, it more than
saves the difference in maintenance,
not to say anything about tho sub
stantial leak and higher rentals.
Furthermore, tho owner of a sub
stantially built brick or concrete
building, that Is a "mill constructed"
or "slow burning constructed build
ing" can afford to carry some of tho
fire risk himself and not carry too
much Insurance. There Is very Ht
tlo risk from a Are from without ex
cept in a general conflagration, and
should a fire occur from within "such
a building, one or two floors may
burn and yet leave tho remaining
part practically unharmed, or tho en
tiro Inside may burn and yot In nine
cases out of ten the skeleton will bo
practically Intact with fair flro pro
tection, unless an explosion occurs.
The framo buildings allowed in the
ordinance aro substantial buildings,
and while tho risk from flro from
the outside, of course, Is greater, yet
tho risk from Are from within is ab
solutely no greater than In a brick
or concreto building built on the
same modo ot construction.
However, I believe It would bo ad
vlsablo to revise tho Aro limit and
for the present at least, limit It to a
smaller area and, In this view, lire
limit eliminates tho erection of framo
buildings.
The property owners should attend
tho council meetings or advise with
tho city officials and make known
their wants to them and thoy would
then not bo groping In tho dark.
Thero Is, I understand, a plumbing
ordlnanco (I have not seen It nor
have I had anything to do with it),
which I bollovo, from recent experi
ence, Is somewhat ambiguous. It
calls for soli pipes to bo of tho grado ,
r selling
' i
which
i
known as "extra heavy," while In my
opinion, a "Standard" pipe serves
all requirements. It is simply wasto
of money. The "extra heavy" plpo
weighs twice as much as the "Stand
ard" and cost, of course, correspond
ingly more. All waste or soil pipes '
nre tested before they leave tho
factory, they are again tested, or
should bo tested, when tho plumber
has "roughed in" tho building, and
this is the severest strain such pipes
over will have. As a matter of fact,
there Is practically no strain on a.
soil pipe under ordinary usage, with
the exception of thnt part that leads
from tho foot of tho risers and con
nects with the sower In tho street,
and, even In this part, there is lit
tle or no strain at any time, as tho
sower Is, or should have ample fall
to empty Itself quickly.
Tho mayor has appointed an ar
chitect to act as plumbing inspector
and, while T have the greatest respect
for my profession and my fellow co
workers on the profession, It would
have been in my judgment more
logical 'to appoint a thoroughly com
petent and practical plumber to this
position. While an architect la sup
posed to know everything connected:
with the building trade and does
know a great deal, otherwise he
would not be worthy of tho title, yet
ho cannot bo expected to be an ox
pert In all ts many branches. It
takes years of practical experience?
to learn to know how little ono real
ly knows. This does imply in any
sense, but that the mayor's appoint
ment Is a worthy one.
In regards to fees, It Is not a wise?
practice to Impose heavy fees for
building permits or for Inspection, It
then becomes a tax and as such a
hindrance to building operations. Ku
city of any size that I know of, has
foes larger than what Is absolutely
necessary to cover expenses connect
ed therewith. They also have grad
uated fees, It costs but little more to
Issue a permit and Inspect a largo
building than it does a small ono.

E. W. HENDRICKS.
