OP TONIGHT
City pouncil Expected to Take
Final Action On Fran
chise Question.
Tho Marshfield city council is ex
pected to again take up tho telephone
franchise aBked by W, U. Douglas
and R. T. Durett for tho Coos Bay
Home Telephone Company, the suc
cessor to the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company in Coos and Cur
ry counties tonight, and will prob
ably finally dispose of it. Judging by
unofficial statements of city officials
and members of the council, the fran
chise 'Will not be granted unless some
radical changes are made in it.
In addition to this, there Is feel
ing among the members of the coun
cil that as the old franchise which
tho new company secured with the
local exchange of the Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company has
somewhere between five and nine
pears to run, that it is not essen
tial to grant a now one now especial
ly In view of the general belief- that
Coos1 Bay Is on the verge of a period
of rapid- development which will
change conditions so that a franchise
applicable to the present city would
not be to tho Coos Bay of flvo years
tience. .
Objections to Now Franchise, i
It is pointed out that the new
franchise as it stands at present does
not guarantee any better service than
tho city is and has been receiving for
sometime past and which was made
tho basis of the request for a fran
chise for a competitive telephone
Bystem before a deal was made for
the purchase of the local exchange.
Messrs Durett and Douglas have
verbally promised and agreed to
make improvements in the service
but there is nothing in the new fran
chise as drafted, it is declared, that
would enable the city to insist on
any particulars Improvements in case
the ownership of the company should
change in a few years and the new
owners would not be bound by any
verbal promises. As tho new fran
chise covers a period of twenty-five
years, it is pointed out that it is only
reasonable to expect that there will
bo changes in the ownership or man
agement in that time.
In addition to this, it is claimed
that the new table of maximum rates
that may be charged for phone ser
vice under the proposed franchise is
much higher than has been charged
on Cooa Bay.
The matter Is likely to be thor
oughly discussed tonight. While the
provisions that tho company shall
pay a franchise tax of two per cent
after Coos Bay becomes a metropolis
and that the wires in the business
section shall be placed in cables or
underground are looked upon with
favor but the council may also insist
that these be so fixed ,as to be reallz
cd much sooner than are provided
for in the present franchise.

realize that the votes secured early
are the easiest to obtain and that
many are inclinod to throw their

to tho importance of the location of
tho property, the deal brings to an
end litigation which has been on in
the local courts for the past eighteen
months.
Mr. Haines contracted for the pur

years ago, but when he was ready to
close the contract, he was met by re
fusal. Through his attorney, W. U.
Douglas, ho Instituted action for spe
cific performance of contract.
One of the lots is on Second
street, directly across the street from
the first building south of the new
Chandler hotel Tho other two lots
are directly west of this lot and

It is Mr. Haines' intention to con
vert the property into business loca

WOMAN HAS DONE
MAN CAN DO,
One fomlnlne correspondent writes
that on the unused portion of a fifty
foot city lot, her house and lawn oc
cupying the front, she has raised
enough garden stuff for her own fam
ily and considerable for tho neighbors.
TJiis she has done with ouly one hour's
work a day and a few cents occasion
ally for seeds. Fine. She not only
knows how to make a garden, but how
to write about it It is dollars to
doughnuts that this particular corre
spondent's place looks as spick und
span as a uow pin. that it is clean In
side and out nud that thero is some
Joy and ginger lu life for those who
live in her vicinity.
There Is no question that these things
can uo uoue uy auy one wuu suiucieni i
common seiibe and energy. Tho trou- y
banltcs who try to make garden Is that
they know nothing of the subject and
do not try to find out. that they cet 8
any old kinds of seeds, thnt they stick
them in at auy old time, that they do
not half prepare the soil, that they do
not use manure and that they do not
properly cultivate or keep out tho
weeds after the plants are, started. If
a merchant rnn his business on tho
slipshod methods employed in most
gardens he would go broke the first
year. Gardening Is a science, likewise
an art. It requires Intelligence and
hard woik, like anything else In life.
With this Intelligence and hard work,
however, there are few occupations
that glvo a larger return for the money
and time Invested a larger return ei
ther in value or in happiness.
Wo hope in time to havo numerous
othor correspondents who will tell even
a better story than does, this woman
who spends an hour a day in her back
yard, bu,t who makes that hour count

Nothing helps more to build up n
town commercially than the locating of
a reputable, up to date manufacturing
concern "In our midst" This sort of
establishment also helps to build up a
town socially, for It supplies employ
ment and wages to young people who
otherwise might not earn money
enough to take a part In local social af
fairs. Every factory, large or small,
that any town can get adds to the vi
tality of the town and community. Is

"There are only two things needed
unity on the part of the citizens of
Cold Spring and a cordial welcomo to
the new Industry.
"So long ns the citizens of Pecksklll
were divided the village made uo prog

a spirit of enterprise, construction nud
progress was shown the recent marked
progress of PeeksklH started.
"Every city In the country has a
similar tilstory. Industries do not come
unless they are solicited or at least
made welcome.
"Cold Spring has missed getting two
or three! factories, through lack of a
united spirit on the part of her citi
zens. Why not get over all these petty
Jealousies and1 unite to help' each other
and ''to upbuild' the cohrmunity? We
would all be the gainers from such u
policy, gainers not only in money and in
population, but gainers In good will, In

makes for communal Improvement and
for' Individual good flowing therefrom.

petty misunderstanding and factional
ism and -Join to bring industries and
new residents to the town? Let the
motto be:
"Unite for the common good."

Where Vigor Is Necessary.
In this day of fashionable glossy
locks one must, cultivate energy or her
hair will go lustcrless.
There Is but one way to get this lus
terby regular brushing. Massage
helps, as does electricity, but both are
of little account if not supplemented
with tho night and morning use of the
brush.
Don't think you are brushing your
hair if you give it a few languid
strokes. As well try to shine muddy
shoes by gentle pnsslngs of a cloth.
Brushing should bo vigorous, oven,
with steady strokes that reach down
to the scalp. Yon might ns well not
brush ns not reach the skin.
Don't economize on your brushes.
Get good ones with bristles neither
too hard nor too soft The one tears
the hair; the othor fails to stimulate
the scalp.
Tho surest recipe for lustrous locks
Is plenty of "elbow grease" regularly
applied, assisted by cleanliness of the
scalp and occasional soakings in kerosene.
