pronounced the public approval unquali-
fedly.
Jos. F. Cazeneuve, president of the
Bond Commission, followed as the next
speaker. His remarks were apropos.
He spoke principally from the viewpoint
of resident and taxpayer living off
the beach front; what a wall on the
front meant to the balance Of the city
and that he for one was willing and
would cheerfully pay his pro rata tax
small compared to the inestimable bene-
fit to accrue. Viewed as banker he
said realty values were lightly consid
cred, for borrowing values were at low
ebb. He said the best Way to find this
out would be to try the local banks. A
sea wall would run the values skyward.
Jos. o. Mauffray was thenext and last
speaker of the evening. A report of his
remarks appears elsewhe re in the Echo.

witnesses who displayed unwillingness
to give evidence in certain violations,
particularly in Investigations in con-
nection with the unlawful sale of intox-
icating liquors.
"We have examined witnesses for
the past five days to the number of
seventy mine and have returned into
court thirteen true bills found by us.
"We have investigated the jail OF the

the prisoners well treated and cared for.
"We have investigated the various

vvYOMEN are housekeepers. They

than are men. Through our clubs we
have an excellent opportunity to lead
in Clean Up and Paint Up work Here
are some pointers for women who
would help regenerate their commu-
nifty with a real Clean Up and Paint
Up campaign:
Each campaign involves the renova-
zion of the interiors of buildings as
well as yards. streets and alleys.
The removal of all rubbish and use
less things is most important
Some revenue can be derived from
the sale of waste paper.
During the Clean Up and Paint UP
campaign is a good time to have rub
bish cans placed upon street corners
for the deposit of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of town than the liberal
use Of paint.
Useless and unsightly outbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Ruo
bish accumulates in cellars undei
stairways, in storerooms, passageways
and in the rear of hotels and restau
rants. Look out for RATS here.
A clean yard is not sufficient: II
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
in lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and
trees.
The thresholds Of town should De

This is a good time to find out about

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
To Remove 'For Rent Signs
BYE. T.TOBEY
President Real Estate Bureau
Little Rock. Ark.

TT Is not surprising that
houses which are for rent
should be without tenants, be-
cause in most cases such houses
are implanted, the steps are
rickety and the porches not in
repair.
The number of vacant houses
In any city is largely due to the
negligence of the landlord him
self. ! recently took two ladies
out, trying to find for them a de-
sirable six or seven-room house
to rent. | was unable to find
anything to suit them, either on
my own list or on the lists of
other real estate firms, and
these ladies were not exacting
in their wants. They were shown
a few houses of the desired
size, but the houses were not in
good condition. 1t is true that
some of the landlords say they
are willing to make certain re-
pairs for good tenant, but It
has been my experience after
years In the business, that It Is
best to put your house in attrac-
tive shape first and you will
quickly get tenant,
Houses that are kept re-
paired and painted not only
rent better. but they greatly I'm.
prove the looks of the city.

Mail Boxes Disturbed

Maurice, La. June 18th.
This morning the trails of some
of the ball visitors of last night is
very visible. Several Mailboxes
on the rural route were damaged.
It is thought that the damage was
done between and 8 O'Clock this
morning. by two men riding in a
buggy in a westerly direction, and
il is hoped that the guilty parties
will soon be found.
This is an evidence of why we
need compulsory school law in

Ford Road and Industries

Marshfield, Or, June - W. j..
Wilsey, Of Portland and New York, is

cluding the North Bend waterfront and
mill; 1900 acres at Rocky Point, 1906
acres on South Slough, 600 acres on
Coal Bank Inlet, 5000 acres of coal land
tributary to Coos Bay, 10000 to 10000
acres of timber land contiguous tt
Coos Bay,
The corporation Mr.. Wilsey repre-
sents, he says will invest about $l2,
100000 in developments here within the
next three to five years, outside thu
railroad cost The industries they con
template include sawmills, pulp anc
paper mills, a hydro-electric plant, by
products plants, creosoting plant, wood
enware manufacturing, shipyards, th
purchase of a fleet of vessels, chemica
works, tannin extracting plant, glas
works, smelters, coal briquetting plant
They propose also to take over tn
