We want to talk to you about Clothing,
We don't know whether you know Benjamin
Clothing or not, but we want you to
W e want to do business with you and believe we
could if you realized just what Benjamin Suits,
Overcoats and Rain Coats for men are, and the
kind of merchandise we are offering
If you are absolutely satisfied with the Clothing
you are now wearing, we haven't a word to say;
but if not, if you would like to see a little better style,
a little better making, a little more up-to-dateness in
your Clothing, we would like to get in touch with
you, for we sincerely believe it would be even more to
your advantage than ours
Benjamin Clothes at $1700 to $3500 are the
highest type of Clothing that money, brains and skill
can produce A broad assertion but a true one
Then too we have a matchless showing of
Suits, Overcoats, Rain Coats and Gaberdines
Prices that range at $J0, $1250, $15 and $1750

Will the S. P. Build to Grants

situation. It Ir no lens than n un
ion of tho O. A. Smith and railway
Interests. Hero la what Editor Hon
nott Bays:
"Steamers coming up trio bay
during tho foggy weather lust week
bumped Into boacon lights and
knocked out dolphins. What will
shipping do during n fog If a
brldgo Is placed across tho bay
from Sand I'olnt to North llend?
Tlioy'll simply hnro to tlo up until
tho weather clears, mi to a vessel
like tho Nnnu Smith this means n
loss of no Inconsiderable amount.
A brldgo would bo a decided Injury
to tho commercial Interests of Coos
Day, and everybody who Is Inter
ested In tho welfnro of tho bay
should fight It to n finish, and
thou some.
"Wo stated on two or threo oc
casions boforo that wo didn't bo
llovo that tho S. l wanted to
brldgo Coos Day, and wo don't be
lieve yet that they do. Wo may
bo mistaken, but tho proposition
doesn't look good to us. Hut whe
ther they do or do not want to
brldgo tho bay. tho peoplo who In
tend to mako their permauont noiue
lioro should protect our Hhlpplug
Interests to tho greatest posslblo ex
tent. Our harbor Is of more Im
nortnnco than many railroads, and
no corporation should be allowed to
got ti stranglehold on It. If the S.
P. nt this particular tlmo really
wants to brldgo the bay, they would
do It solely for the purpose of
blocking nny other road that might
wish to come In bore Tbev htivo
nothing to loso by asking for tho
permit to build tho brldgo. If tho
penult Is granted they have a year
In which to commence construction,
and we suppnso that n fow piles
driven for an approach nt Sand
I'olnt or North Hond would nn-
Bwer tho purposo for commence
ment of construction, tho saino as
Mlllls started tho milky way at
North Hond. They may novor com
plete It. If they nro refused per
mission to build tho brldgo, then
thoro Is no danger or any other
road coming In from tho north, for
tho other rond would also bo re
fused permission. With tho S. P.
controlling n great portion of tho
watcriront on tlio east sldo, It
would bo hnrd sledding for n rdni!
to get In hero anywhoro north of
tlio mouth of Coos river. On tho
west sldo of tho liny they got ev
erything they wanted nt North
llond, and If they succeed In got
ting tho Tormlnnl Hallway frnn
chlso at Marshflold they will cer
tainly have a leadplpo cinch on tho
railroad situation on Cons liny. It
may bo that thoy consider that tlio
Tormlnnl Hallway will bo necessary
for them as n moans of reaching
North Hond.
"It was published a short tlmo
ago Mint MeArthur-Perks had been
nwnrded tho contract to build a
lino for tlio S. P. from tho Slits
law to Coos Hay. On this pro
posed line no work whntover has
been coninionced between tho SIus
law nnd Umpqun. Tho work on
tlio Wondllng timber rond betweon
Eugene nnd Sluslnw Is being rush
ed with nil posslblo sped. but
Micro's nothing doing south of the
Sluslnw. Tho only work between
tho Umpqun nnd Coos liny that Is
under way Is Mint of grading nn
approach to tho tunnol at Wind
Creek. This tunnel Is nt a strate
gical point on the lino from tho
north, nnd. even If built nt con
siderable opeiiso and never used,
It would effectually block any other
road coming down tho coast from
tho north. Tho S. P. enn afford
to build that tunnel fully ns well
as they bored tunnels nnd built
bridges on tho Drnln-Coos Day
lino.

Little Talks on the
High Cost of Living
By
W. A. REID.
Yes, lumber, llko OTorythlng olso, Is high right now.
notwithstanding tho fact that we are living in one of tho
greatest lumber producing districts In the world, but you
will pay as much or more a yoar from now. The money
you pay out for rout In u year will luy the luinbor for
your homo. And tho saving you make In buying your
homeslto In PEKHAM PA IMC right now will pay for tho
labor. Thus your homo costs you nothing except tho
original cost of the lot, which niny bo bought ou easy

COKE BUILDING.
railroad situation from anothor
' point of view. Tho C. A. Smith In
terests nro moro concerned In tho
development of tho shipping fnclll
tics of Coos Day Minn nny other
linn or number of firms Iocntcd
I hero, or who hnvo timber nnd coal
tributary to Coos Day waters.
! Whllo tho head men of tho Smith
Company had little or no oxporl-
; enco in shipping by wntor beforo
coming to tho nny, thoy hnvo nov-
I erthclcss boon hero long onough by
, this tlmo to npprcclnto tho mennco
, to commcrco Mint n brldgo across
tho hnrbor would nrovo to bo. Thoy
also know by exporlcnco Mint tho
driving of, piles for log booms, etc.,
is nlwnys followed by shoaling,
thcreforo thoy nro nwnro of tho
fact that tho construction of n
brldgo mentis tho bulldlntr tin of
' tho mudflats, encroachment on tidal
1 nren, nnd consequent limiting of
tho amount of wntor which ebbs
nnd flows ncross tho bar nnd which
Is necessary when controlled bv a.
Jetty to Insuro n dopth sultnblo for
lnrgo vessels. Mr. Smith was op-
pnsea to tno uriago whon tho mat
tor was discussed n fow years ago,
but on his last visit ho stared that
ho had no objection to a brideo.
provided It was built according to
Plans npproveti by tho United States
engineers, or words to Mint effect-.
.-sono or tno otuclals or tho C. A.
Smith enterprises took nny nnrt In
trying to prevent n permit for n
linage noing granted, nlthoiiRh thoy
must" know that n brldgo would bo
n decided Injury to tholr shipping
uiiL'rt'in. wuni was tno reason
that thoy did not opposo It? Thoro
nro soino peoplo who think thnt C.
A. Smith knows moro nbout theso
mntters Minn tho gcnernl public
gives nun credit lor. Ho Is build
lug n mighty flno logging rond
good enough for tho best kind of
n railroad out from Myrtlo Point
townrds Grants Pass. Ho has traf
fic nrrnngoments with tho S. P.
from Myrtle Point to bis nlnnts nn
Coos Hny. Tho contractors who aro
to timid tho Jlrst 23 nil os of tho
i new logging rond nro men who
nnvo recently finished contracts for
the S, P. and nro clnssedns S. P.
contractors: In fact everything In
dlcntes that tho S. P. and tho C.
A. Smith Interests nro on very
friendly terms, to say tho loast.
Wo have no source m inronnntlon
from which to drnw to confirm
our views: no hunch that would
enlightou us rognrdlng those mat
ters; wo nro ntoroly surmising, nnd
may bo bnrklng up tho wrong tree,
but It looks this way to us. Tho
Wondling Interosts raised tho nee
oasnry money to build n logging
road from Eugono to tho Sluslnw.
The S. P. took tho road off their
hnnds nnd bought off nn opposition
road that was headed down tho
coast to Coos Day. Tho C. A.
Smith Lumbor Company raised tho
necessary money to build n" log
ging rond on the lino between Myr
tle Point nnd Grants Pnss, and
woll. It is very apparent that the
S. P. Is not fighting It. What's
tho matter with the S. P. pushing
thnt rond to Grants Pnss? If thoy
build that lino they won't need the
Etigeno line, nor will they need a
brldgo ncross Coos Hay. With tho
right-of-way between tho Umpqun
nnd Coos Day, which thoy hnvo
nought nnd paid Tor, including tun
nol sites, etc., thoy hnvo tho bay
pretty woll blocked from Eugono
or Drain. 'With n rond to Grants
Pass, or somo other point In tho
Jntfi-.'or of tho srnte, It Is wiry
aiiubtful if n rival road would nt-
tompt to como In from thnt direc
tion; thorororo, If no further do
volopmonts nro forthcoming In rail
road circles. It certainly looks ns
though tho S. P. wns holding tho
lop nana in tins section, nnd ac
counts for tho strenuous oxortlnnx
bolng mndo to enpturo tho Tennl-
nni uniiwny, which thoy would
now cheorfiilly nccept with tho com-mon-usor
clnuso, becnuso they hnvo
n frnnchlso nt North Uend with no
strings on It. nnd further becniiBo
Micro Is very llttlo chnnco for nn-
uiuur ruiironu to get in lioro and
domnnd tho right to uso it.'
