THE COOS BAY WEEKLY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1908.
Daughter of Citizen Gains Mu
sical Honors in Big East
ern College.
The fame of-Coos Bay continues
to spread in a manner which cannot
lielp but draw the attention of the
people of the United States to this
famous seaport and Its prospects as a
future great city. A Marshfleld girl
has gained fame In Cornell Univer
sity, In New York state, recently and
thereby helped to spread the Coos
Bay gospel. The young lady is Miss
Mabel Mlllis, daughter of C. J. Millls,
vice president and general manager
of the C. B. R. & E. It. R. & N. Co.r of
Marshfleld.
Miss Mlllls took part in the pro
gram given recently by tho advanood
students in a recital at the Ithaca
Conservatory of Music and was high
ly complimented as tho best singer at
tho recital. She has a splendid con
tralto voico and spent three years In
Portland studying under Mrs. Walter
diem. Sho is at Cornell rounding
out her musical studies and has
drawn considerable attention from
musical experts of that place. On
tho program of tho recital with tho
names of other participants from tho
largo cities of the country, Miss Minis
gave her homo as Marshfleld, whoro
she will come next spring.

talk of "panic" and "hard times" has
had no effect whatever on prices and
local real estnto men insist that noth

property except to rniso its value.
It is contonded that tho long dolayed

said that oven in hard times tho

GREAT WEALTH OF OREGON
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 5. Ex
ports of wheat, barley and flour from
Portland and Puget Sound ports havo
beon adding $150,000 a day to tho
wealth of Oregon and Washington
since October 1st, and this average
of exports will bo maintained until
the end of this month. For tho ton
months of last year for which oxact
figures are avallnblo, Portland's ex
ports were 5.3S0.00O bushels of
wheat nnd 1.1G8.SSC barrels of flour.
Oregon's dairy products reach a
value of $17,000,000 for tho year just
closed, and tho lumber trndo has had
tho greatest year In Its history. Tho
total valuo of arglcultural crops now
being moved and marketed, will add
$30,000,000 in cash to tho circulat
ing medium of tho stnto.
At a meeting of seventy-six Orogon
commercial bodies In Decomber, the
establishment of closn relations with
similar bodies in other Pacific Coast
States was discussed, with tho Idea
that Washington, Oregon and Califor
nia should form n sort of commercial
illinuco and so net In harmony ln nil
Pacific Coast matters.
some interesting talks.
A Now Charter. Tho Coqullle
city council hns appointed a com
mltteo to draft a new charter for
the city to be submitted to tho voters
at tho next regular city election.
In Colorado the women havo suc
ceeded by dint of tireless efforts and
much preserverence, ln becoming le
gally recognized as man's equal.
Just how much this affects blltho
romance and reduces the hitherto
poetic and kblghtly calling of Archer
Cupid into a daily routine of prosaic
pot shots we leave to moro facile
pens; also the question as to wheth
er the fair sex of Colorado ascended
or descended, to take footing as
man's equal. Coming back Into Ore
gon, however, and thence home to
Coos we fell a certain pride and zest
that womens' suffrage is as yet un
known that tho good old customs
still prevail and womann holds un
disputed sway with no other power
save that which has been hers since
mediaeval bards sang of her con
quests. Tho cycle of time has rolled, around
another Leap Year. That means, In
poker parlance, that "it's up to the
woman." County Clerk Watson's
records show a total of 149 marriage
licenses for the year 1907.
If the fair ones of Coos County can
do that much damage to the citadels
of the male heart with no weapons
other than the eye what will the
grand total of casualltles be when
they are given carte blanche with the
tongue? It is doubtful if even the
government statisticians have evor
attempted to figure out this problem.
Except we wait for the solution it
self the only apparent expedient It to
get Sherlock Holmes and Ella Wheel
er Wilcox together and thus secure a
deduction from tho eminent detec
tive, founded on Miss Wilcox's know
ledge of her sex.
However, as Sir Conan Doylo has
positively assured us that Sherlock
has made his last swim across tho
Styx there seems no perogatlve but
to await the compiling of tho Coos
county marriage license records for
1908. One cannot but wonder how
many "nos" and how many "yesses"
will come from bearded lips during
the long period of anxious expecta
tion before us. Will tho hitherto
elusive, shy, yet withal, piquant fe
male Cooslan ply her suit In bold
Lochlnvar manner; and will the njjile
await the fatal question in anxious
trepidation?
Butuhls is idle speculation. The
great, vital matter Is that it is up to
tho women of Coos county to demon
strate on County Clerk Watson's
records this year that they are more
than capable of meeting an emerg
ency calling forth perquisites which
some few cruel cynics have said are
only found In the male breast.
The smallest month last year was
March when only seven licenses were
Issued and the largest, December
when twenty-five men secured brides
for Christmas presents.

Dog Taxes Coming; Rapidly. Mar
shal Jack Carter has collected dog
taxes for the present year to tho
amount of $1S7.50, and tho dogs
without tags appear to be almost as
thick as ever. Not a single arrest
has been made for non-payment of
tho dog tax thus far, but two dogs
with apparently no owners have been
killed. Tho marshal asserts that
quite a number of dogs will be killed
in a few days unless the owners como
forward and havo tags placed upon
them.
