of Coos Bay,
And Whereas, on December 27 th,

mature deliberation and discussion
passed by tho Coos Bay Chamber of
Commorco and tho Marshfleld Cham

Fresh from a ninety-two day's trip
around the Horn, the steam schooner
Melville Dollar, Captain C. J. Fosen,
arrived in Coos Bay yesterday after
noon from San Francisco, leaving
there Friday afternoon. The vessel
belongs to the Dollar Steamship Com
pany, one of tho largest steamship
companies on the Pacific coast, and
was recently bought by them in the
east. She was formerly known as
the John C. Howard, but was given
the name of Melville Dollar by the
present owners, when that boat
was sold about eight months ago.
There are eight Dollar boats named
after the children In that family.
Tho ship was built in 1903 by the
Columbia Iron Works at Port Huron,
and until March 7, when the trip
around tho Horn was begun, was in
tho Lake trade. Captain Fosen left
Baltimore with a cargo of 1,700 tons
of coal, coming around tho Horn and
reaching San Francisco Friday a
week. This is the boat's first trip
since coming to the Pacific ocean.
She is the largest lumber carrier
ever In Coos Bay. Her capacity for
lumber Is given as 1,100,000 feet, and
she draws about eighteen feet when,;
loaded to capacity. The engines are
capable of developing about 1,000
horse-power. She will be fitted up
with heavy gear before her next trip.
At Coos Bay 150,000 feet of white
cedar will bo taken aboard at the
railroad wharf from the Johnson
Company mill. Leaving hero the
boat will go to Grays Harbor, where
tho load 'of 1,100,000 will be com
pleted. This is tho only place on the
coast where It Is possible to get
white cedar. The entire cargo is
billed to Old Mexico.
Captain Fosen is accompanied by
his two daughters and their lady
friend. The captain reports a heavy
nor'wester up the coast from San
Francisco, but otherwise the trip was
very pleasant.
There Is no section of the United
States that offers the descriptive
writer the opportunities presented by
tho Pacific Northwest, and Portland
and Oregon are especially rich in
their variety of attractive and sub
stantial features. To encourage vis
itors to include Portland and Oregon

Tho annual picnic given Sunday
by tho members of tho Eaglo lodge
to Charleston Bay was the biggest
and most successful event ever given
by that lodge. It Is estimated that
between 900 and 1,000 peoplo wero
in attendanco during the afternoon.
Everybody ato to their heart's con
tent of barbecued beef, clams, mus
sells and all the necessary prerequi
sites to a royal dinner. Tho com
mittee In charge of tho affair left
nothing undone, from tho furnishing
of transportation to the edibles and
entertainment of the guests.
The ball games between the high
school team and the members of the
band and tho game between tho
Eagles wero especially good. The
high school lads won the game with
tho band by a score of 14 to 4, while
they took the Eagles to camp to the
tune of 4 to 3 in a five inning con
test. John Herron umpired both
games, and In tho latter the liigh
school lads Imposed upon his small
size and downed for for a question
able decision.
One of tho numbers not on tho
program that elicited both close at
tention and hearty applause was a
Scottish highland fling with a bag
pipe accompaniment. John Mclsaac
furnished the music and Herbert
Nixon did the dance, which was of
such high order that four Scotchmen
in tho crowd Messrs. McKlnnon,
McKay, Burns and Darrlon sat him
upon their shoulders and carrned him
around the circle, where the dance
was In progress.
The picnic was marked by jollity
and good nature. About everybody
seemed to know everybody else and
those who didn't got acquainted.
With tho exception of about eight
people the picnickers returned homo
toward sundown. The eighty re
maining thought another boat was
coming, but as it didn't they wero
compelled to spend the night on Char
leston Bay. They were. rescued about
3 o'clock Monday mornln?.
