Magnificent New Quarters of
Marshfield's Latest and
Most Pretentious Social
Organization Are Opened
With a Representative
Gathering of the Profession
v al and Business Men of the
City.
Tho informal dedication of
tho
' magnificent new quarters of the
Millicoma club last evening was
probably one of tho most brilliant
events of the kind In tha history of
of tho city. It marks an epoch In
tho social annals of Coos Bay. The
leading business and professional
men of the city met and clasped
hands In a pledge of good fellowship
and friendship and a toast to life's
brighter side. Tho affair took the
lurin of an informal "smoker" and
tho pipea of peace and pleasure were
literally lighted and in the ascend
ing smoke wreatli3 rose tinted
dreams of the city's future formed
in the figures of prophecy of which
the Millicoma Club is a promise and
a pledge.
Tho affair being the dedication of
a new homo the attendance was
limited to members only and the
thoroughly representative character
of the gathering was a tribute to the
promoters and organizers of this
splendid new factor in tho growth
and development of Marshfield.
Devoted exclusively as It Is to the
social side of life, It nevertheless
marks a lino in the transition of the
city from It's ch.rysalls.of. pioneeiven
' vlronment to more metropolitan at
tainments In a commercial as well as
a social way.
Beins Informal there was no set
program. Men met and mingled, as
only men can without the fetters oi
formality. Music, singing, card
games, billiards, talk of trifles and
things substantial all made an eve
ning tho memory of which will bo
treasured by all who participated in
its pleasures.
Tho rooms are really regal in
their appointments. They were a
revelation to those new members
who had not borne the brunt of toil
and trouble in their preparation.
Tho harmony in the color scheme of
the various rooms, the quiet elegance
of the decoration, draperies and fur
nishings gave It all an air of rich
simplicity and artistic elegance that
is restful to the vision and soothing
to a beauty loving soul. There were
many present who are familiar with
clubs from Portland and San Fran
cisco to faraway London, and while
there is no thought of getting met
ropolitan standards it was the gen
erally expressed opinion that no city
in the country the size of Marshfield
has club quarters that In all ap
pointments are superior to tho new
home of tho Millicoma that was so
happily dedicated last night.
"While all shared alike in the pleas
ures anu honors of. the evening it
wa3 an occasion for special gratifi
cation on the part of the original
organizers of the Millicoma Club.
What 13 now a splendid social organi
zation had Its genesis in ar little de
moted band of thirteen who will
Vver again say that thirteen is an
unlucky number? who about a year
ago inaugurated a movement for
supplying tho growing requirementf
of tho city In a club way. Tho com
mencemont was made in a modest
way In very modest quarters that
wero rent free, but like "Topsy" it
just "growed" until tho present
splendid association Is the result.
Altho' they modestly endeavor to
tvoid the responsibility "Jack"
Flanagan and Dr. Haydpn aro credit
ed with being the men behind tho
movement in which originated the
fraternizing of congenial spirits out
of which hns grown the Millicoma
Club of today.
The new quarters are ample in
proportion and convenient In ar
rangement. Everything in furnish
ings and decoration are the best that
money could buy or good taste sug

Probably the most Important item
of the eniiro meeting was the selec
tion ot a point on tho waterfront
which will be used by tho ferry oper
ated between here and East Marsh
field by the county. Tho water com
mittee reported that it had found the
foot of W. street to be tho most feasi
ble for tho construction of a slip for
the ferry.
The county court has been waiting
for this decision of tho city to set
aside a portion of the wharf for this
purpose, the slip to bo constructed
according to the plans of the board.
The county will have a gasoline fer
ryboat constructed In tho near future
tor this convenience, and the people
of East Marshfield will be easily able
to come to Marshfield proper instead
j of in the present manner. Tho fol
lowing committees for the year wore
