TENNIS CLUB
GIVES DANCE
Last of the Season and is An
Elaborate Social
Affair.
HALL DECORATED
Large Number of Guests Who Enjoy
Excellent Music and
Dancing.
The Tennis club ball given last
evening was probably the event of
the season from a social standpoint,
and was undoubtedly a grand success
in every particular. The attendance
for the evening was large. The mu
sic was furnished by the Irish or
chestra of five pieces. This ball
marks the close of the social season
In Marshfleld, and soon the majority
of the social leaders will be out of
the city for the summer, enjoying
their vacation.
Beautiful Decoration
The hall was decorated in a most
charming manner; even surpassing
In appearance on the occasion of the
ball given by the club some w-eeks
ago. The walls were tastily decorat
ed with evergreens and Ivy, while
along the edge of the balcony ivy
was'used abundantly and so arranged
In clusters to attract the eye favor
ably. The lights along the lower
edge of the balcony were all covered
with various colored Japanese lant
erns as were also the celling lights,
not an unshaded light being visible.
The soft glow obtained added ma
terially to the grandeur of the room
and showed off to good advantage
the beautiful costumes of the ladles.
Hanging between each of the lights
along the balcony was an lvy-twlned
basket filled with rhododendums.
At either end of the hall an Indian
canoe was hung, which added much
to the embellishment of the room.
Pennants of all colors and descrip
tions were nicely arranged along the
walls above the gallery and across
the room, from gallery to gallery,
were hung several tennis and fish
nets from which a number of prettily
colored Japanese lanterns were sus
pended. The stage was hidden from
view with a profusion of green, and
the background of the stage was also
green. The frappe was served from
a little booth in one corner of the
room. This was popular through
out the evening. A couple of cozy
corners were also arranged and
proved attractive as well as popular.

CREAMERY AT COQUILLE
DISTR0YED BY FIRE
Plant
was a Large One and Loss
Building Is Burned to the
Ground.
Myrtle Point, Coquille, Bandon
and Intervening towns are confronted
by an Ice famine as the result of tho
fire which totally destroyed the Dav
enport & Levene creamery and arti
ficial Ice and cold storage plant at
Coquille about 3 o'clock Saturday
morning. Already the first effects of
tho shortage are being felt.
The origin of the conflagration,
which reduced to ashes nnd warped
iron tho ?8,600 establishment, is ap
parently an impenetrable mystery.
An explosion which Jarred the whole
town and awakened people within a
radius of five miles, was tho signal
that brought out willing citizens, who
found themselves powerless to stay
the progress of the flames.
S. M. Nosier, manager of the Co
quille Steam Laundry, was one of the
flrst to hear tho explosion. Mr. Nos
ier lives In the second floor of the
building that houses tho laundry,
which Is but a few hundred feet from
the creamery. He was awakened by"
the explosion about 3 o'clock, and
the lurid reflection from the flames
aroused him to a full realization of
impending danger. He sprang out of
bed and rushed to the fire station,
but some one had anticipated him,
and no sooner had he gained the
street than the Are bell sounded.
Coquille's fire equipment consists
of a hook and ladder truck and a
hose reel. As tho fire was 1,000 feet
away from tho nearest hydrant nnd
there was but 600 feet of available
hose, It was Impossible to utilize the
water. J. E. Porrott, foreman of the
Coquille volunteer fire department,
was on tho scene Immediately, but
the volunteers were rendered help
less by lack of water. Closo watch
was kept on the railroad station, the
only building In possible danger, and
some boats and a gasoline launch
which wero moored to tho dock were
moved.
Though the source of the fire Is
unknown, It is tho supposition that
tho fire was caused by tho intense
heat which the ammonia tank, used
In the process of making artificial
Ice, was subjected to. There was no
night watchman at the plant, and the
fires had been banked tho previous
night.
Tho artificial Ice plant had a ca
pacity of five tons of'lce a day, and

UP FOR HEARING
Man Charged With Trying to Bribe
Juror at Boise is
Meld.
BAIL FIXED AT $500
Must Answer the Charge hi the Dis
trict Court of Ada County,
Idaho.
Boise, Idaho, May 4. W. N. Yost,
charged with an attempt to corruptly
influence J. L. Waggoner, one of tho
jurors who will bo subject to service
In tho Steunenberg cases, was to
night held in ball or $600 to tho dis
trict court of Ada county. Tho pre
liminary examination was held in a
Justico's court and attracted very
little attention. Waggoner testified
today that on April 4, while ho was
serving as a Juror in tho murder case,
that Yost approached him and offered
him $20 to poll the White Cross pre
cinct as to the attltudo on Mayor.
Yost further stated, according to
Waggoner, that tho men on trial for
the murder of Stounenberg wero be
ing railroaded through to the gal
lows. Waggoner refused to take the
monoy, stating to Yost that ho was
on the jury at that time and had only
been excused for one day, and that ho
Is Big
was the main plant of It's kind on tho
Coquille river, supplying practically
all tho demand. There wero three
milk vats, with a capacity each ot
250 gallons.
There was one turbine separator
which could handle 1,000 pounds of
butter fat an hour. The butter cut
tor had 300 squares. The can used
for the purpose of starting the" pro
cess of making butter had a capacity
of thirty gallons.
At the time of tho flro the Ice
plant was running to full capacity,
and an average of 1,000 pounds of
pasteurized butter were being put out
dally. Tho absence of tho creamery
and cold storage plant will not bo
seriously felt, as there are two others
on tho Coquille river, tho Fred B.
Halght creamery and artificial ico
plant, the capacity of which is but
two. tons of ice daily, and tho Fred
Hlllner creamery, about a half mllo
south ot Coquille.
There was ?4,600 insurance on tho
establishment, taaking tho total loss
to the owners ?4,000. The building
waB constructed and equipped In
1903, and shortly after was leased
to J. N. Jacobson. who has been in
charge since that time. J. W. Le
vene and J. A. Davenport wero tho
sole owners. Mr. Levene states that
the plant paid about twenty-five per
cent on the Investment In 1906. It
has not yet been decided whether to
rebuild.
The complete equipment of the
plant was as follows: Two milk
testers and apparatus, one 600-pound
Simplex churn, one five-ton artificial
Ice machine, one flfteon-horse power
boiler, forty-two Ice cans nnd tank
for making Ice, four cold storage
rooms, nnd two Ice machines with a
capacity of two tons ench per day.
It Is thought that Coqulllo, Myrtlo
Point, Bandon nnd Intervening
places will have to depend In a largo
measure on Coos Bay Tor ico. It is
not believed that tho plant on tho
bay will be able to meet tho Increased
domand, as the local trade In tho
summer is almost equal to the out
put. Tho firo Saturday morning was tho
flrst of consequenco in Coquille since
tho big one In tho year 1892, which
entirely devastated tho business dis
trict of Coquille.
wns very busy on his farm and could
not spare the time. Waggoner said
ho told Yost that ho (Waggoner) was
no friend of Gooding's or of the state
administration, and according to tho
testimony given ho gave as his reason
for not undertaking the work, hla
lack of time. Waggoner also testi
fied that he himself did not know
positively at that tlmo that ho would
likely bo one of tho jurors In tho
Haywood caso, and had no reason to
believe that Yost know that ho would
be. Attorney Nugent, one of tho
Haywood, Moyer and Pcttlbono coun
sel, represented Yost, and moved
that ho bo discharged for lack of
evidence. This was opposed by tho
prosecution and rofused by tho Jus
tice. Yesterday was tho first day tnls
season that strawberries wero seen
on the local market. While they aro
nlco nnd aro liked by almost every
one, nt the present time they aro so
