f How many men, some young and
somo older, on Coos Bay and In Coos
County, have read the twenty-second
verso of the eighteenth chapter of
Proverbs, cannot be reckoned with
Accuracy, but there k plenty of evl--""denco
that a. great number of men Oil
the Bay have hot read tile verso or,
if they llrtVO) have not taken It earn
estly, or else have lacked the courage
iiefcessary to act upon tho suggestion.
There are plenty of nice men on
thd Bay of marriageable ago men
who would make model husbands of
"whom you girls have every right to
expect better things than you are get
ting, and right now The Times wants
to suggest to you in the time when
you should make a raid on them.
During all of 1908 the only time
you have for four long years, you
should plan a campaign against the
procrastinators. Don't hesitato to
exercise the rights you have this year.
Here are men who need your ad
vice as wives, men who have ample
money or good positions to support
you nud who should let you ,help
them lo spend their money. Some of
them you will And are only bashful
and will be only too tickled to listen
to you if you tako the initiative
which tradition gives you tho privil
ege of taking during leap year;
others merely need a good slinking
up and you will find a slight effort on
your part sufficient to bring them to
their senses they have been travel
ing in a rut. The others? AVell, you
need not handle them with gloves.
They deserve rough treatment and
It's your privilege to resort to any
method you may see fit to land them
in tho matrimonial net. Don't let
tho season pass without reducing tho
number of bachelors on tho Bay. If
there are any of them who seem to
ho unreasonably perverse let them
liavo opportunities to marry or give
somo good reasons why thoy should
ho allowed to remain single and re
tain the respect of the community.
The laws havo changed somewhat
sinco tho olden times. Long ago In
Scotland there was a law that gave
women during leap year tho solo
l)rivllego of making marriage pro
posals and there was a clause to tho
effect that any previously unengaged
man who refused tho hand of a lady
suitor should pay a fine of a sum
governed by his means. Tho law was
modified from timo to time until it
sifted down to a sort of unwritten
law which is still enforced in somo
countries that a man refusing an of
fer of marriage during leap year is
compolled to make the lady a hand
some presont of somo nrtlclo of wear
ing apparel. In France and Spain
that article, custom says, should bo a
silk dress.
In Germany there was onco a cus
tom In each locallt to tako a poll of
tho unmarried men of marriageable
ago and post those nt cortaln public
placos whoro tho unmarried women
might seo thorn at tho beginning of
each leap year. With theso names
wero given details regarding each
man's calling In life, his financial
status and other Information con
cerning which a husband'seoklng
woman might find It deslrablo to post
herself.
That custom rathor appealed to
Tho Times so it has prepared a list
of unmarried men residing on tho
Hay and in somo oases has given n
uilef description. Tho list, of course,
Is not outlroly complete and it Is re
quested that any reader of Tho
T'mes knowing any name omitted
forward It to this offlco. Hero Is tho
list as prepared and it will material
ly aid you in tho campaign it 1b hoped
you roallzo It Is your duty to mnko
during this glorious old leap year,
1908.

FIRE OX CATCHING INLET
Tliroq Houses and a Burn Destroyed
By Flumes.
Roport comes from Myrtle Point
Just as wo go to press to tho effect
that on Tuesday night between 7 and
9 o'clock three houses and n barn on
Catching creek wero consumed by
llro, and also that all their contents
wero burned. Tho houso and barn
wero tho property of Mr. Whitney,
tho other two houses belonging to
Messrs Llvorniore and Dilliboy. Mr.
Whitney wns in Myrtle Point and
had boon thero all day and how tho
llro originated is a mystery to a moro
or less extent. Mr. Dilliboy saw
Livormoro's houso afire and went to

eulogy on the past struggle and
present growth of Coos Bay. A
striking example of verile manhood
ho seemed to fit in with his sub
ject matter. Ho related how five
years ago a party of engineers were
tramping through the brush and un
dergrowth that covered tho present
site of tho city of North Bond. Ho
told of how ono remarked that ho
wouldn't give 150 for the whole
townslte. Passing over tho inter
vening years in which a city has
sprang up with a population today
of over 2,000 people, the mayor con
trasted that remark of five years
ago to the present prices of real es
tate. "Regarding tho harbor," he said,
"I believe it now devolves upon the
shoulders of the large moneyed In
terests hero to cooperate and go our
selves to Washington and seo that
wo got our birthright . We have
planted our faith with Coos Bay. We
know that sho is predestined to rank
with tho harbors of the Pacific coast.
Personally I am .willing to go to
Washington and present our claims
and arguments. This plan would
carry weight, for the senators and
congressmen would know that we
spoke because prompted by one hon
est purpose of loyalty to our bay and
its cities."
Brief Talks.
Rev. Hall, tho new Lutheran min
ister to Coos Bay, here made a few
complimentary remarks to the cham
ber of commerce and of the Coos
Bay country in general.
Secrteary Lyon then Introduced
A. H. Eddy, an architect who has re
cently come to Coos Bay. Mr. Eddy
has kindly volunteered to construct
a float to represent tho Coos Bay
country at the Rose Festival to bo
given in Portland commencing June
1. He made a short talk on tho
growth of cities and the kind of
spirit necessary to make that growth
possible.
Father Donnelly spoke supple
menting Secretary Lyon's remarks
regarding tho poor mail service
which Coos Bay Is now receiving.
The Plunk Roadway.
Tho meeting was closed by Presi
dent McCormac who took occasion
to talk upon a very important mat
ter, tho plank roadway between
Marshfield and North Bend. Tho
roadway has so far reached no farth
er than about two hundred yards
this side of tho old stave mill. The
trouble seems to havo been In se
curing right-of-way from the proper
ty owners. As the vote at the last
election to bring that part of tho
bay between tho city limits of North
Bond and Marshfield into the latter
city was for some reason declared
not binding the president suggested
that it bo taken in properly at tho
next election and then the city can
order tho right-of-way. At this point
President McCormac was Interrupt
ed by L. J. Simpson who Informed
tho meeting that Major L. D. Kinney
had already begun tho work of driv
ing piles for the roaCway In front of
Plat B. Major Kinney was accorded
hearty applause. The meeting then
adjourned.
