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.

THE REXALL STORE
First hand Information about the
.Mexican border conditions was gained
by Dick Rogors, formerly of Coon
Bay and who was a driver on tho
Gorst and King auto lino for a long
time. Sovernl months ago ho wont
to California to ho associated with
Mr. Gorst there nnd recently wont to
Wlnfleld, Kansas, to visit his parents.
On tho way back Rogers visited Co
lumbus, X. M., nnd other border
points nnd went across tho Interna
tional line.
Dick saw tho real thing lu tho way
of bordor cxcltoment nnd was not
satisfied with what ho heard but took
a look Into Mexico to Invcstlaato a
llttlo on his own account. 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.
Expect Fight liif
Tho paper says:
"Tho American soldlors want to go
into Mexico, clean up the country,
mako It liabllablo for natives, for
eigners, Americans nnd everybody.
Neither Villa nor Carranza can trust
tliolr followers and eventually tho
American nrmy will bo fighting tho
whole country Instead of half of It.
This ifl tho opinion Dick Rogors
brings home from tho bordor whoro
ho sponT sovernl weeks following tho
'ColumbiiB raid.
Gin ft Is Strong
"According to Mr. Rogors tho host

California. Tho soldlors linvo a mili
