The policy of the Coos Bay TIjis
will be Republican in politics,, with
the independence of which Fres'i.lent
Roosevelt Is the leading exponent.
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

Mrs. John Preuss was hostess to

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.
Just what the views of the various
members are, they refuse to tell for
publication, for the present at least.
Among those who enjoyed Mrs.
Preuss's hospitality were Misses
Mahoney, Bradley and Hutcheson
and Mrs. Reld, Mrs. Gettins and Mrs.
Thayer.

that Dr. and Mrs. McCormac and

ART OF EXPRESSION.

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.
