SIDEWALK REFORM. In Pensacola, Fla., sidewalk pav ing is to be done by city contract. The city is to take entire charge of the business; and the policy will be to let contracts for several miles of uidewalk paving under single bids. The plan is a novel one, as we con sider the general practice of cities, and has merit that is apparent at a .glance. By the larger contract system the -work can be done more cheaply. By txs strict supervision of a competent city engineer It should be done more thoroughly. Added to these advanta ges is the possibly greater one of uni formity on given streets and in given sections of the city; adding material ly to the esthetic attractiveness of the municipality. This Pensacola plan Is worthy of consideration in every city. Its op--eration in Marshfield, for example, if the city could assume absolute con trol as it should, ought to work a leslrable reform. So far as any sys tem may be considered, Marshfleld's aide walks are patchwork of wood, cement and asphalt, alternating in most unsightly fashion, except in those neighborhoods where there is unity of public spirit. There is no good reason why the city should not take charge of sidewalk construction, ais It does street construction. If -cheaper and better sidewalks be the xesnlt, and if the city be beautified by he uniform appearance of its streets, the novelty of the proposition should lie no bar to its serious consideration. COQUILLE WANTS DREDGE. "Petition That Oregon Uc Assigned to Woik There. The CoQuillo Sentinel says: "M. TV. McCormack, of Riverton, was cir culating a petition in town Tuesday with the object of cecurlng the gov ernment dredge for work on the Co ji)i)le river as soon as it shall have finished its labors at Coos Bay. The potition of course was signed by everyone approached with it, as tho SCoQuille river should have been tho S5rst stream touched by the dredge in working north from tho southern moul boundary of Oregon. Lot us Inapt; that the Coquillo gets tho recog nition to which she is entitled in this euatter."

Mrs. John Preuss was hostess to the Priscilla club last evening, but owing to the inability of several members of the club to be present, the discussion of the subject for the evening was not as extended as it was planned. The subject was "Matrimony from the unmarried woman's point of view." Last week, the married members of the club gave their views on the subject.

I I Important Addition to the Educa-i . .. tioimi .uivniimnL't. oi cocs isny. An important addition to art and education in this community, and one which will interest people of almost every age and calling is the department of the Art of Expression" just recently opened in the Coos Bay Academy of Music. Mrs. Rebecca Luse Stump has had years of experi ence both as teacher and public read er, and the addition of a person of her ability to the faculty is equally fortunate for the school and the town. Mrs. Stump is a graduate of the California School of Elocution and Oratory, and also took a post graduate course in the same school. She has taught in public schools as well as private schools, has been reader for Chatauqua and various concert companies and comes very highly recommended to us. Beside private instruction, classes will be formed in oratory and her services will doubtlessly be In de- maud by school teachers, attorneys and many others; several having al ready arranged for instructions. A very attractive feature of the department will be the classes for children, which are to be made so in expensive that many parents will take advantages of this grand oppor tunity. Schools, churches or clubs desiring to get up plays, dramatic entertain ments or other affairs requiring elo cutionary work can, by taking ad vantage of her experience, produce these affairs in a way that can only be done under the guidance of a professional in the art, with proper grouping as well as individual stage presence and thus afford profit to the participants and pleasure to the au dience. Classes for children from ages five to twelve will be started on Satur day morning, November 14, at ten o'clock. The rates for tuition will be ?2.50 per term of ten weeks.
