Ktlltor of Coos Bay Times. I ob serve that C. A. Smith has called your attontlon to tho wooden block pave. I wish to again call your at tention to tho samo subject, for to make mistakes in paving Is expen sive for any city. The wooden block pave Is no experiment. Tho strcct3 of Washington, tho capital of our country, were rescued from mud and mistiness and mado smooth nnd beautiful by wooden block pave. Alexander Shepherd, the man who put It through was hounded out of office In dbgrnco, by critics who did not know a good thing, but as years rolled by, tho permanoney of his work testified fo tho wisdom of the plan. 'Washington Is ono of tho luot beautiful cities In tho world, and that which add3 ns much us anything olsc, is hor beautiful wooden-paved streets. Now York, with her m- Lmenso traffic, has more or less of wooden block pave. W'jotl Is cheap at C003 Bay; both fir and red cedar, In my opinion, would mako durablo wooden paving. They havo n crco soto treatment for tho blocks, and of course thoy aro laid tight to gether on a concrete base. You had better pave a shorj. dis tance on your main street each year and In n few years you will havo good strcet3, without making It burdensome. Excepting ns a tempo rary makeshift, don't spend much money on plank roads. I congrattilato you on tho near completion of the railroad you havo waited for so long. You will havo your celebration, then for a time pos sibly you will bo (llaappolntcd. I Why? It takes some tlmo to adjust j.trado relations btwoon communities that nrc suddonly brought Into new trado conditions by a railroad or any othor means of communication. You havo had n seaport but tbcro was no opportunity for tlio wholesalo morchant, becauso ho could not dis tribute his goods In tho Interior. That barrier Is now removed nnd sonio day a wholesaler from San Francisco or Portland, and probably soma homo man, will establish n wholesalo distributing houso nt Coos Bay. It Is only n mattor of tlmo. Tho coal In your mines Is needed In tho Wlllumctte, Unipqua nnd Roguo Rlvor valleys, but this coal must bo delivered to towns nnd pco plo that havo used wood must get coal stoves and bo taught that coal Is rhoapej' and bettor than wood. And It nil takes tlmo, but bo patient and pcrsovorlng. Everything is grad ually coming your way, and tlio ponlnsular embraced by C003 Day will bo occupied by n groat Pacific seaport. R. M. STOCKUR.

Friends horo havo received post cards train Dick mailed In Mexico during tho past few weeks. The Evening Frco Press of Wlnfleld, a paper on which Dick was employed ns a roporter bo foro hoctuno to Oregon, contains nu Interesting account of hts oxporionccs.

Neither Villa nor Carranza can trust tliolr followers and eventually tho American nrmy will bo fighting tho whole country Instead of half of It.
