Norton & Hansen will continue dealing In food for the intellect Instead of for animals. Resent North Bend's Boast Sev eral local citizens have taken excep tion to the remarks of North Bend cltizons that they have the only "city duck pond" on tho bay. They are confident that Marshfleld has deeper i and wider city ponds than tho neigh boring city, and they resent tho im putation of North Bend citizens that they hold the candle. Will Frame Picture It is reported that the city council of North Bend has had pictures taken of the mud ponds recently shown In the city streets, and that these pictures will bo framed and placed in the city hall for future reference, when tho pres ent council shall have "reformed" the streets so that the rain will be unable to make mud.

Victor Is Fast Boat. The 35 foot man for Victor Whittick, of North ! Bond, has been completed for several days and has been given several trin' ! runs, which indicate that the boat has considerable speed even with a 16 horse power engine. Tho boat Is shaped somewhate llko a steam tug and presents an excellent appearance In tho water, her name being Victor. Interest Is Growing Much inter oat Is being shown in tho Union Evan gelistic services which have been hold at tho Presbyterian church every night this week, Rov. Thurston ! preaching each evening during tho Illness of Rov. Browne. Interest Is ! growing at each service and six con versions 4iavo been made In tho past few days. The services will be con tinued next week and everybody Is given a hearty Invitation to attend. number Goes Bankrupts Ira E. Wheeler, a plumber of North Bond, has gono Into bankruptcy and at a meeting of the creditors on January 21, C. Jay Mahoney, of Marshfleld, was elected trustee of tho concern. The liabilities of tho firm were $1500 while the assets amounted to half that sum, the creditors being princi pally Portland Arms.

Tho company will play here three nights and will leave on tho Plant for San Francisco, where they will opon up a two months' tour of tho stato. Man ager Dalley left for tho Gato City on tho last steamer to bill tho produc tion In various cities of California. Dog Taxes Coming Rapidly. Mar shal Jack Carter has collected dog taxes for tho prosent year to tho amount of $187.50, and tho dogs without tags appear to bo almost as thick as over. Not a slnglo arrost has boon made for non-paymont of tho dog tax thus far, but two dogs with apparently no ownors havo heon killed. Tho marshal assorts that qulto a number of dogs will be klllod In a few days unless tho ownors como forward and havo tags placed upon thom. They Stuck in tho Mud Tho Blanco hotel bus, In chargo of that well known driver, "Buckshot," stuck in tho mud opposite Georgo Goodrum's store today at noon, and ' about half a dozen passengers were compelled to pllo out in tho deep mud and wade to the sidewalk. Tho road has become soft where tho gas i pipes of the Coos Bay Gas & Electric i company has been laid recently, and the right hind wheel of tho vehicle became fast in the mire, tho passen gers all having to move before tho rig could bo started. Why the Gulls Are Tame. Tho seagulls on the bay are given a daily meal by the employes of the various factories and mills along tho water front In Coos Bay. When the weather ' is fine tho employes who do not re turn home for ,the noon meal eat their lunch at tho water's edge, sit-! ting on tho wharves. The gulls como from all directions having learned to know when the hour of noon ap proaches. The men give the gulls crumbs and scraps left from lunch and tho birds have become marvel ously tame In their efforts to secure tho food. Says Meat Goes to Rosehnrg.- Marslifleld is said to bo up against : a meat famine and somo beef is be- ing shipped in from Portland to j supply tho demand. The Times rec-1 ommends fish as a substitute and tho fact that clams are selling as high as a $1 a bucket indicates that fish and clams aro In demand. It might be a good plan for cattlo buy ers from the bay to get out among tho stockmen earlier in the season. Hundreds of heads of fine beef cat tle are driven out to Rosoburg each season that might bo kept on hand to supply Coos county's requirements under .proper ..conditions. Myrtle Point Enterprise. Citizens Take Tilings i3asy. Stories aro. told of the Englishmen managing to attend to their busi ness and taking life pretty easy at tho same time. Tho nervous energy of tho American Is also a historic topic. But a visit to three out of every five offices of professional and business men In Marshfleld will de velop tho fact that some Marshfleld citizens take life pretty easy. Nu merous offices in the city aro un opened at 10 o'clock in the morning, and they also close quite early. Yet there Is as much business accom plished as though tho men who have officqs were wracking their nervos with long hours and energetic work. Work Being Rushed Construction on the foundations of the Finnish Temple being erected west of the Masonic Temple is progressing rapld iv Binpo tim work started over a week 'ago. Quite a large force of men aro 'at work on the structuro and tho (greatest interest Is being shown in jtho erection of this bnilding which will bo the homo of tho Fnnish so icieties of Marshfleld. It will be a very handsome home for them when completed, which is oxpected to bo within tho next two months. Quito a few of the members of the society have contributed several days' work on tho building, which will un doubtedly be well built becauso of tho interest each man will havo In tho structure. Sculptural Art Exhiblt-Tlio latest addition to tho chamber of commerce exhibit Is a line miniature stone font executed by J. Y. Arnot, of this city. It Is chiselled from the natlvo sand stone of the county, a slate color, which shows up well In such work. Tho font represents tho American eagle with wings half spread, tho bird standing on tho ground. In front thoro is a small rcceptaclo and another on tho right side, somowhat similar to drinking fonts at a pub lie fountain. Tho work is protty good and Is causing considerable In terest among visitors to tho chamber of commerce Tho exhibit goes to show that this is another uso to ! which tho Innumerable resources of Coos county may be applied. Astounding Gullibility. Local citizens aro still wondering over the oxtremo gullibility of San Francisco and Portland people who took about a quarter million of stock In tho air ship company which was to run a lino of airships between Portland and San Francisco. Tho advertisement of tho company in tho Portland pa pors amused tho people hero as a baro-faced fako, and tho Times own had tho temerity to say something supposed to bo funny ovor tho drop ping of tho mallbags In tho city as jtho airship passed ovor. That any jbody would tako stock In such a prop loclUon, which did not ovon ontor Into tho St Louis airship contogts, was I never considered by Marshfleld c'.tl 'mis, who oxporioncod with somo 1 thing of a shock tho nows that two largo cities had boon buncoed by such brazen mothods as tlioso discount r )rm tt t peoplo from a quarter mlUio-i d-.lln:e In "hnrd times."
