A CRYING DERELICTION.
There is no use attempting to
"qualify the situation that calls for
the exact prompt and permanent es
tablishment of the names and hum
mers of the streets of Marshfleld.
The citizens committee appointed
sometime since and the common
council might as well go up against
this cardinal demand and meet it
.squarely as to dawdle along further
with the Incongruity of paved
.streets and not a numbered building
"In the city. The idea of building a
-city, constructing new and pronil
ment commercial houses, prosecuting
street improvements and not having
a numbered street is not only stupid
ly wrong but brands us as lacking
the perspicacity and progressive
spirit which we possess. Every
stranger who arrives in the city Is
surprised and puzzled at our middle
ages method of directing strangers
about the city by telling them that
Mayor Straw lives three doors south
of Dr. Mlngus who lives next door
to Mr. Marsh and Mr. Marsh lives
across the street from Mr. McPher
son. Or, if you are looking for
Henry Black go a block and a half
south, two blocks west, then six
blocks south, fourth house from the
corner on the right hand side.
Another important reason that
this matter should be taken up and
settled without delay is that Marsh
11 old may soon be in a position to
demand free mall delivery, but this
sreat convenience cannot be secured
.until the streets are systematically
mamed and numbered. And this is
only one of many reasons that de
monstrates the' fact that we are
.standing in our own light by refus
ing to grapple with a proposition
that is, at last and best, unescap
.iible. Private interests must not be per
anltted to sway this situation any
longer; It Is too large a question to
"hang upon the whim or plan or con
venience of any one man or group
x" mon. The issue Is city-wide and
time-wide and it is bad citizenship
that urges anything short of the
quick and honest fulfilment of this,
important, and most neglected task
before the city.
JIOW TO
MAKE A
CITY BEAUTIFUL
""Cbe task of beautifying a city is
ene which cannot be accomplished by
municipal government alone, nor bi
ll small number of enterprising citi
zens. Without the co-operation of
the city authorities and practically all
the poople of the municipality, there
will always remain man) of those
unsightly buildings and neglected
vacant lots which destroy the pleas
ing effect of beautiful surroundings.
Though city ordinances may compel a
property-owner to abate nuisances,
no authority can compel him to go
further and beautify the lot or block
under his control. The individual
xJltizon who Is nogllgent in this re
apect may be led but he cannot' be
driven. The Mayor of Birmingham,
Alabama, seems to have realized this
situation, for he has undertaken a
plan of organization which Is said to
havo enlisted the co-oporatlon of
.practically all the people of that city
ia n civic improvement campaign.
ISf tactful leadership ho is accom
UlliLiiing what lie could not If coer
cion were attempted.
The city government does Its part,
of coarse, in improving streets and
keeping them clean to the extent that
city streets are usually cleaned. But
the Improvement of private property
Is left to the voluntary action of the
several owners, under the stimulat
ing nnd encouraging Influence, how
ever, of what aro called block im
provement clubs. All the residents
of a block are formed into a seiutrate
club, whloh organisation takes parti
cular pains to s that its own small,
.portion of the city Is kept In oredlt
unble condition and appearance. Re-
sponslblllty Is directly placed upon
each person for the cleanliness and
order of his own home surroundings,
and each man's immediate neighbors
are given a special interest in seeing
that he performs his part of the
work of making the city more pleas
ing to the eye. This plan of
organization Is said to enlist the aid
of a much larger proportion of the
people than any other that has ever
been attempted, but, of course, it Is
scarcely to be assumed that all peo
ple fall Into line and bear their part
of the burden.
Negligence and procrastination are
the chief causes for the dilapidated
condition of property, either city or
country. Very .few people really In-
t.nH tn , fhot- t,nn, w ovo.

sores to the rest of the community,
but they put off repairs and the
"cleaning-up" process until a more
convenient season. They become ac
customed to the ill-appearance of
their property, and do not realize
how displeasing it is in the sight of
others. Realizing that this, rather
than a. deliberate carelessness, ac
counts for much of the disorder to be
found on private premises, the Mayor
of Birmingham IsSued a circular let
ter addressed to the members of the
several clubs, specifically calling at
tention to the various items of im
provement that can ordinarily be
made upon a city lot. It is urged
that old fences be torn down and
that the city authorities be depended
upon to keep cows off the lawn. But
if for any 'reason property-owners
do not wish to part with the fence
that was deemed necessary by a past
generation, the owners are asked to
apply a coat of paint, and the paint
ing suggestion extends to all build
ings on the premises. "Paint every
thing you can and whitewash what
you can't paint," is the rule laid
down by the circular.
Every man is asked to keep his
own sidewalk In repair and to report
to the city authorities any defect in
any other man's sidewalk. Sugges-
tions are made as to the planting of
ornamental trees and shrubs, the
growing of climbing vines where they
will cover the sides of out-buildings,
and the making of flower beds in side
and back yards. The children are en
listed in the work, and it is said that
they very readily become deeply in
terested laborers in the task of beau
tifying the city instead of being de
spoilers, as is too frequently the case.
The circular letter, written in a good
natured tone,. serves to call attention
to the particulars in which property
generally needs repairing or improve
ment, and property-owners who
would otherwise overlook the dila
pidated condition of their sidewalks,
lawns and buildings are reminded of
the opportunity they have to aid in
making the whole city more attrac
tive. The defect in the plan of proclalm-
. ... i. i
ing a ciean-up uaj once a year IS
that the cleaning up Is spasmodic,
only a portion of the people find It
convenient to clean their premises at '
that time, and a large majority neg
lect the work all the rest of the year.
In Birmingham every day Is a
"clean-up" day. It is made so
through by local block organizations j
and by the circular letters which are
sent to any man who becomes negli
gent. No man Is given an excuse to
put off his repairs or cleaning-up un
til some particular day in the year,
when he may be sick or away from
home, but he is constantly reminded
of the little things he can do to help
along the movement for the making
of a city beautiful. Not on particular
days but on any day the city refuses
carts will call for waste material
which property-owners have gathered
up to have hauled away.
The principle upon which the Bir
mingham plan is based is that the
people need not be driven or goaded,
but that they must be reminded of
their duty from time to time and
taught how to Improve their prop
erty. Tactful leadership Is depended
upon more than the exercise of legal
authority. At the same time, author
ity Is employed, so far as possible,
whenever good-natured persuasion
will not have the desired effect. Un
der this plan Birmingham has been
not only cleaned up, but Is kept
clean, this latter achievement being
the one which most cities find diffi
cult. Oregonlan

A Burst of Love.
Within the inner temple of my heart,
Where profane thought of distrust
may not go,
A solitary altar stands apart.
Dim lighted by a single candle's
glow.
I worship at this shrine because I
must,
I make to my own soul confession
true,
I light the one white taper of my
trust
And burn the Incense of my love
for you.

-Philadel-
There are some men In Marsh
field who have a kick coming to
them that never reaches them.
Some Coos Bay men are so greedy
that at breakfast they can tell what
they want for dinner.
The new diseases you hear about
are only the old ones masquerading
under terrifying names.
.
Still, there are worse things than
being In a rut; the rut is where the
wheels go 'round, and Is often the
smoothest part of the road.
When a man has a plain sickness,
there is seldom any danger of fatal
results, but when what the doctors
call "complication" set in, then is
the time to pray.
There are only two ways in which
you can improve your health, al
though thousands of suggestions and
remedies are offered: be careful of
your diet and sleep well.
It is well to exercise restraint, and
this the prudent ever bear in mind.
For example, the woman who is will
ing to sacrifice something of present
happiness for the sake of happiness
yet to come will not forget that the
bigger fool she makes of a man the
sooner he is likely to get over It.
The Married Man.
Around the head of the married
man, one'may see, with the eye of
the Imagination, a halo, earned by
martyrdom. Every man who marries
is a hero. Every man who can live
in peace and happiness until his
summons comes is a saint.' His spirit
has been tied by leaden biscuits by
black coffee, by squalling children, by
loss of liberty and by burdens heavy
beyond the weight of dreams. In the
gay days of his youthful bachelor
dom, the married man may have been
wild, noisy, extravagant and sporty,
but once he met the lady of his heart,
his disposition and his actions
changed. He is sober, industrious
and very meek. His thrift and in
dustry are marvelous. He saves In
cessantly for rainy days, millinery
and grocery bills, taxes and kindred
evils. He begins to take interest in
the public schools, the churches and
the man who can beat Chamberlain
for Senator. He comes home punctu
ally of an evening Instead of owling
his nights at the Millicoma. He rises
and builds a fire, maybe he walks the
floor of nights, bearing in his arms a
squirming, kicking, yelling morsel of
humanity which will some day call
him "dad" and either make him
proud as Lucifer or ashamed to look
his neighbors in the eye.
His days are spent in planning the
future, for "the boy." The first tooth
is a terror to h'm and the first
"whoop" brings from sound slumber
an alert and tender parent bending
anxiously over the crib of his child.
School days tax the Ingenuity of
"dad." The boy must be kept busy
enough to avoid mischief and yet not
worked too hard for his good.
"Dad" is there to help and counsel.
And w-hen the boy is safely launched
Into manhood, the married heaves a
sigh of content and lets things slide
for a while enjoying a well earned
rest and the society of his wife who
has weathered the storm with him,
says the Anoka Herald. The married
man is the great foundation upon
which this country rests. He It Is
who with mature judgment and care
ful forethought conducts the business
of the country, fills the offices of
responsibility and honor. It's the
married man one looks to for advice
and counsel. It's the married man
we fall back upon In time of trouble
for we know that he has been
through the mill. Taken all In all,
about the finest thing In this wide
world is this same old married man.

week enjoying the delightful coast
weather of this section.
J. R. Benson Is having an addition
built to the upper story of the frame
annex in the rear of his bank block,

course of instruction. She was ac
companied to the city by her mother,
Mrs. Chas. Adams.
Grandpa Ray, father of W. Lee
Ray, is seriously ill at their place
north of town. He has been falling
for some months and on account of
his age it is feared that he will not
fully recover from the attack.
Prof. Godfrey, a tight wire artist,
accompanied by his wife, formerly
Miss Buzan of Coquille, arrived In
Myrtle Point from Roseburg jester-
day, having come through In a steam
touring car of 75-horse power.
The new bridge just completed at
the forks is a vast Improvement to
the highway between this city and
Coquille. It is substantially built,
enclosed to protect the timbers from
the weather, and Is on a grade that
will remove It from the high waters
of the winter time.
Several cases of scarlet fever In
mild form have made their appear
ance in Myrtle Point during the last
week. The health officers have
promptly taken notice of the out
break, established strict quarantines,
and the probability is that the dis
ease has been entirely controlled, as
no new cases are being reported.
D. E. Norcross, who has supplied
the pulpit at the Christian church
during the summer, expects to leave
on the 15th. He will visit for a short 1
time at his home near Grants Pass
and will return to school at Eugene
on the 24th. It is understood that
Rev. J. N. McConnell will divide his
time between this place and Coquille
during the winter months giving
each place two sermons a month.
Dr. K. A. Leep received Informa
tion of an accident to his little son,
Kay, in which his leg was broken
on the trip to Roseburg a week ago.
He fell out of the wagon onto the
wheel and the bone of the lower leg
was fractured near the knee. A
doctor at Roseburg reduced the
fracture but It had to be reset at
Eugene and at last acounts the frac
ture was mending.
' County Commissioner Anderson
came up from Marshfleld Tuesday
and with Commissioner Dement
viewed the work being done on tho
Falrview road, that which is under
way on the Cooper hill road, and
took a final view of the bridge that
has been completed at the mill by
Contractor J. D. Bennett, all prepara
tory to the meeting of the court at
Coquille on Wednesday when action
on these several matters will be
taken.
