I FOP PUBLIC W Wm. Grimes. Returns. From Oklahoma Enthusiastic Over Coos Bay and Prospects For Good Times and Prosperity. Wm. Grimes arrived last night from Kingfisher, Okla. 11 This might have been all thr.c vould have been written about the arrival of the person In question had the reporter not encountered Mr. Grimes this morning and been given an opportunity to realize, as Marsh fleld citizens who have known him during his previous residence here do, that Wm. Grimes' presence meant more to Coos Bay than the ordinary traveler's. As many residents of Coos Bay, particularly the business men, know Mr. Grimes came originally to Coos Bay a few years ago and so Impressed was he with It that he determined to make It his future home and promptly invested quite heavily here. He has been spending the winter with his family at his old home in Kingfisher, Okla. "Yes, I am mighty glad to be back on Coos Bay and to see the activities In progress here," said Mr. Grimes. "As you doubtless know, times have Leen pro'tty quiet the country over Blnco the financial slump last fall, and in many places it Is still quite dull. I was suprised to see the vast amount of work underway here and the 'amount contemplated to begin boon. The volume of It Is greater than' In many of the larger cities. I doubt if Portland could equal It, leaving out the completion of impro- omenta begun last year and which of course had to be completed this spring. "Business Is rapidly getting back to Its normal state. The nomination of Wm. H. Taft for president has accomplished a great deal. Mr, Taft Is more than acceptable tq all classes of people and ho will give the coun try an excellent administration. The confidence that Is generally reposed In Taft was Impressed on mo the other day while In Guthrie. A promi nent wholesaler there told mo that while ho had always been a staunch Democrat and voted the Democratic ticket, ho was going to vote for Taft and work for him. Not only that but his business associates, also life long Democrats, are going to do like wise. You will find It tho same the country over. Business will continue to Improve until tho election and then It will simply jump ahead and by this tlmo next year, prosperity will need an anchor to hold It down. "This is tho time for Coos Bay people to build a city. Material Is cheap, labor Is plentiful and much cheaper than a year ago, and a little united effort will make things hum hero. Tho prosperity of Coos Bay will attract others and they will Join In tho progressive movement. "With the dredge coming hero, tho owners of Coos Bay property will have a wonderful opportunity to Im prove their holdings. The dirt re moved from tho Bay can bo used to fill In tho lowlands If tho peoplo will only build bulk-heads to permit It. Tho cost will bo small. "Thou, continue tho street Impro vement campaign. It will work won ders In tho city's nppoaranco and create favorable Impressions on now comers. It enn bo dono cheaply now and tho vnluo of tho property will ho enhanced more than tho cost. The city council has tho right idea and I think will do tho right thing If tho pooplo will Just Join In." Mr. Grimes simply didn't Iihvo tlmo to I'ontluuo tho oppression of liU enthusiastic plans for Coos Bay, for a dozen wanted to talk over private W. 0. W. AND W. OF W. TO ENTERTAIN MANY. Intensive Preparations For Kntci- tniiiincnt null Informal Hop by Lodge Wednesday Xight. Judging by the many requests made for extra invitations, the In stallation Entertainment and Hop to be held next Wednesday evening, July 1st, at the I. O. O. F. Hall, under the combined auspices of the Woodmen of the World and Women of Woodcraft, promises to be one of the most successful affairs given in Marshfield. A splendid program of musical numbers and singing and comic sketches has been arranged to be fol lowed by dancing for which the Coos Bay Orchestra has been engaged. The program will start at 8:30 o'clock ! sharp and members and friends hold ing Invitations are requested to bear this in mind. The affair will not be public but by complimentary invitation and mem bers desiring to invite friends can se cure extra Invitations from any of the committee who are: Mesdames Taylor, Seaman, Coke, Pettljohn and Cowan and Messrs. Douglas, Camp bell, Nlcols, Wolcott and McLatn. matters with him. The exuberance showed that he more than ever ap preciated this community and its op portunities. This morning, Mr. Grimes was awakened by the pile driver which Is busy at work preparing the founda tion for the new $75,000 Chandler hotel of which he was one of the promoters. The din of the pile driver, which has been the bug-bear of Dorsey Kreitzer's early morning naps, was music to the ear of Mr. Grimes for It meant that the near future would bring the realization of his dream of a fine hotel for Coos Bay. Mr. Kreitzer is Mr. Grimes' son-in-law and the latter Is staying at the Kreitzer home which Is near the site of the new Chandler. Mr. Grimes was accompanied here by his wife, Miss Mary Dakln, Thayer Grimes and Max Roberts. They came via Portland and Drain. They ori ginally Intended to come down on the Breakwater but owing to that vessel being out of commission had to come via the stage. They had a good trip. Mr. Roberts is a son of J. C. Roberts, a leading attorney of Enid, Okla., and Intends to locate here. When the narty arrived on the Gasco THE HAND that rocks the Cradle from Sumner, they found a crowd nt(is the hand that rules the roost! the wharf to welcome them. Dorsey Kreitzer, A. T.

It has de veloped that the parties with whom J. M. Sweeny was connected when he purchased the old Beecher place near Jacksonville are none other than the D. M. Ferry Seed Company, of De troit, Mich., who are the largest seed growing firm In the United States, and for that matter. In the world. The company will put a largo force of men at work on the place and will grow seeds there for market on the Pacific coast. The Ferry Seed Company has two largo sets of main offices, one, the headquarters, In Detroit, and the other in Salt Lake City. It has sev eral large farms throughout the country, but as far as can be learn ed this will be their only large farm on the Pacific coast. They are very successful in the raising of seeds of nil kinds from the rarest flower to tho most common of garden truck. Tholr farms are conducted upon tho most scientific plans, as they employ soil experts and chemists to deter mine how to obtain the best results from tho soil they use. The company will employ at least 50 men upon tho farm and will prob ably make It a most Important In dustry of the valley. It Is also re ported that they will start a nursery and supply fruit trees that are In de mand In this section of tho country. The property which Mr. Sweeny purchased for tho use of tho coin many Is tho plnco known as tho Boechor plnco, above Jacksonville. Tho placo contains 1,100 acres of well-watered, timbered and tho fin est of tillable land. Of tho 1,400 acres. 1,200 Is tho finest kind of fruit land, as tho old orchard upon tho placo demonstrated. Tho soil is rich, deep and amply sublrrlgated. Tho most of tho tract lies In n well-pro-tectod basin which Is not exposed to tho extremes of hoit or cold. For irrigating purposes there Is an abun dance of water. A giant pump Is al ready upon tho land and $1,000 ex ponded would construct a couplo or hi or dams that will storo enough wa or to last at least six months in the year.

In tho fashionable precincts of New York the Pi luce Albert coat aud the regulation silk hut appear to have been practically uuiuuloucri. Fashion has issued no edict, and the disappearance of the stately tile Is evidently due to the fact- that something different is more comfortable nnd. in tin- eyes of those who set the pace, "just as good." There Is no regulation about the huts which succeed the stovepipe. Tho derby holds the Held for most purposes, but there Is also the very dignified soft bat. In all colors and shades of color, which will stand no i lnK on n vls,t here and after a W' IN THE LEAD Marshfield Business House Makes Important Shipment to San Francisco. A line tribute to the commercial possibilities of Coos Bay as well as to the character and business getting qualities of one of the representa tive mercantile establishments of Marshfield Is found in the order re ceived yesterday by the W. R. Haines Music Company for two or their best pianos with player attachments to be shipped to San Francisco. These pianos were purchased by San Fran cisco residents on a business trip to this city who were attracted by the display of instruments in the Haines store and on making further inquiry frankly acknowledged that the prices for the same grade of goods were bet ter than could be secured In San . Francisco and promptly gave their orders. The pianos are being boxed today and will be shipped on the first trip of the M. F. Plant to their destination. It was a cash transac tion involving $1,400. When W. R. Haines was approach ed by a reporter and asked if It i were not unusual for a Coos Bay business house to be shipping musical ' foods to San Francisco, he replied that while it was not regarded as ' their natural field It was not unusual for his house to ship goods to distant ( cities from Marshfield. "These two pianos," remarked Mr. ; Haines, "make a total of eight that i wo have shipped to other points j within a year. We have sent two to Eureka, California, one to Crescent ! City, one to Portland, one to Salem inrt one to a Portland suburb.
