MAItSIIFlHLD, Or., Aug. IS. '11 Editor Times: Slnco tlio return of the Cooh Hny Concort Hand with the United States training Hhlp Boston, there linn been n disposition on the pnrt of hoiuo to severely criticize the notion of the band whilo on this trip, and which disposition tends to place the linnd In nn Improper position with the poo plo of Coos Hny and Its supporters in genornl. And while It Is not the wish of tho Imnd to openly air 'Its troubles, the men Individually and collectively fcol that this adverse criticism is unjust, nnd at this time beg tho use of your columns through which to present to the people of Coos Hay their side of the question, after ilnlni? which they arc willing to leave to the fair minded public tho decision, whether or not there is cniiso for complaint. When the subject of uccotnpunylim tho local companies of the Naval Mllltla to Portland as mi escort for tho Hoston wns tlrst presented to tho band, It was received with scant en thusiasm. While the men were loyal they wore loth to lenvo their work, lose their time, or give up their annual vacations, which niunt bo done If the trip be made. Tho local Chamber of Commerce, nt this time, took up the proposition, and offered lluanclal aid If necessary, and finally the baud decided to go for tho amount of advertising they might glvo to Coos Hay. In tho meantime, however, boosters of tho Hay had been urging the band to no. and foremost ninoug these boosters wns Cnpt. Iteynnlds, Commander of the Oregon Nnvnl Mllltla. lie was most earnest In Ills solicitation, and In order to bring more piessuro to bear, made overtures to the baud in the form of promless, wherein ho stated that If tho baud would go, they would not ho expected to go as regularlv enlisted men, but more as an adver tisement anil guests of the olllcers; that men who did not desire would not bo compelled to enlist; that tho bent food the market afforded and first class quarters aboard ship would bo theirs; nnd thnt nn honor able dlschnrge would bo granted to each an 1 every mini who so desired e rotiirn in Coos Hnv. sbiiul.1 ! upon th no care to enusi ai nun nine. ,m.irv.ii.......uij mo mwu nr a nine lug in good faith upon theno prnin-1 ibps, anil wiiii llle weuare nr l ow,'i Hny nt heart, the men conxontod to mnko the trip.

Later in the day. Director ronton applied to I.leut. Humphries for shore lenvo. which wns granted. Upon hearing this, Cnpt. Reynolds ninde It known to his Junior ofllccr in no un certain words that he wished the hand to stop aboard ship, and that shoio leave be not granted. There after, when shore Icnvc was grnnted ' the hand, nlthough there wns no duty aboard, time wns consumed by stall ing In various ways, until tho men had practically no time ashore.

Mr. Kenton laid tho mutter before tho Captain as soon as he had been ap proached, but the amount of the cub- toinnry stalling wns once more up- K011t, ready to bo token to the ship parent.

At Astoria, opportunity presented Itself on sev- onil occnsloiis for tho baud to glvo public concerts In tho city, but ah- seucp from tho ship was prohibited for this purpose. On parado the: baud made nn excellent showing and was the recipient of much praise, but tho real purpose for which tho band wns sunt wus lost. After tho enforced enlistment nt Portland, the men wore given one blanket and assigned quarters where tho conditions were so iiusaiiltnr.' that they could not endure It, tho stench being almost unbearable. The men grew sick but when the chief surgeon wuh approached by Director Kenton, ho was asked not to encour uge men to coino to tho hospital. There wuh a scarcity of food, and whnt there was was of the poorest quality uud poorly prepared, ilcaim appeared tn ho tho main article of ubstance. augmented by canned noise, coffee, for tho most part wlth-L,,,, out sugar or milk.

There wus nn question of the food condition being unknown to tho Captain, an ho was complained to dully concerning con ditions, but always had the same au-j swor. "It s I ho best wp can do." The men wore compelled to perform their ablutions In salt water, and oven a request that they lip allowpil to wash with tlio firemen wns denied. Final ly, the men seeing all their efforts were useless. In disgust lost all In terest In the crtilso. Of dlbcipliup abonrd ship, there was nothing- The baud, alone, wns under nbsolutp control nt all times. When n concort or parado was order ed. 'ery man was present, ready to begin at that time.
