In Favor of Plaintiff. In the case
of C. J. Brushcko against Eugene
O'Connell, to secure $200 commission
on a property sale, a decision was
rendered in Judge Pennock's court

cured five per cent commission
$200 on $4,000 for managing the sale
for Mr. Baer. Mr. O'Connell wants!
to get In on tho proposition at the.
same rate, according to tho evidence,
and as Mr. Sether wanted tho other
l.r.If of the property at tho same rate,
Mr. Bru'hcke nglneored the sale for
him. O'Connoll then" refused to pay
tho commission, and tho plaintiff
brought suP, being rendereu a fa

coming function Is fraught with more
interest to them than usually. They
are seeking funds to equip the room
set aside for them In the enlarged
city hall as a first class gymnasium
and reading room for the members of
the fire department. Everybody is
Invited to the ball.
"Tho local Are department is en
tirely a volunteer organization," said
Chief Tom Nichols, this morning,
"and In consideration of this fact I
believe that the public could not do
better than to support their efforts'
for securing a gymnasium and read-
Ing room and to buy tickets for this
ball. They will certainly have a good
time at 'this function which has
gained a reputation as being first
class. We will have the Coos Bay
orchestra with us and there is sure
tn i irnn.i nMnnrimiPD
"What we want is to have the pub
lic spirited people of this city enter
Into the enjoyment with hearty good
will. The firemen shave no way of
securing funds, as it is entirely a
volunteer organization. Consequent
ly we are dependent entirely upon
these social functions to secure funds
for anything we need. We need tho
equipment for a gumnlslum and read-
ing room and tho city has provided
room for us in tho new building. Wo
want the citizens of Marbhflold to
help us In securing the rest and havo
a good time whllo doing so. Wo
especially want tho tax payors and
business men of tho city to purchase
tickets and come and enjoy them
selves, and thereby assist us In se
curing a gumnaslum and reading
room for the boys."
Chief Nichols Is Interested heart
and soul In tho success of tho firo
department and tho comfort of tho
boys. It was suggested recently that
he recoivo pay as chief of tho de
partment, but ho refused the offer,
saying that as soon as tho chief was
paid, that was the end of tho volun
teer flre department. Until tho city
grows big enough to havo its own
paid department, lie said ho was
willing to join with tho rest In con-'
tinning it as a volunteer department.
For this reason ho is anxious that
Marshfleld peoplo como to tho support
of tho men by attending tho bail
Christmas night.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21. Tho leas
ing of a square space 21x9 feet, to
be ubed as a cigar stand, at an annual
i rnnt.il nt $4 0 nor snimro foot, has not
'only established a high rent record
for New York, and, consequently
tho wholo world, but has olilclally
located, as It wore, tho choicest bit
of spaco on earth for business pur
I noses. Tho nlut hardly as largo as
a good sized room, which commands
nn annual rental of $7,500, is located
in tho new Hudson Terminal, whero
It is estimated that more than Half
a million commuters will pass ovory
day.
In spito of this tromondous crowd
to draw on for patronuge, tho enor
mous rent lo bo paid for this costli
est plat in tho world will necessitate
a business on thg part of tho littlo
21x9 cigar stand which will occupy
It equal in volumo to that of many
a largo store. It is estimated by ex
perts that 250,000 two for a quartor
cigars, or 025,000 flve-cont smokes,
will havo to bo disposed of boforo
Mroiit can bo mauo, or nt tno raie
nmTinWfetter basis of 2,000 clgura

High as tho rent to bo paid In this
instance muy seem, thero aro other
plats which command amazing prices.
Throughout tho new station tho
prices for spaco for booths range
from $15 to 30 n square foot annu
'ally, while storos 20x00 foot will
bring about $12 a squnro foot In
rentals. Ono ambitious bootblack
will pay $4,000 annually for a spaco
19x8, although this is said to bo no
higher than a prjco once paid for a
similar purpose In ono of tho big
llfo Insurance buildings.
