wii.vt M THE DAILY COOS. BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD. OREGON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1908. HB WHAT THEY SAY EVERYBODY knows that on Fri day nighis the Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce disposes of business, and those matters affecting Marsh fleld and Coos Bay generally, which devolve upon a function of this char acter. But It Is not generally known, tbat during, the days intervening bo tween Fridays, questions and matters are disposed of.the Importance of which would put any chamber of commerce in any metropolis In the United States way back in the pink tea class. Such is a fact. Of course the proceedings at these gatherings are not recorded in any minutes. Neither, more strango and unbellov nble, do they figure in the columns of the press. But neither the one nor the other of these facts detracts one lota from the importance of tho Gathrlngs. There is no set hour for adjourn ments; neither Is there a chairman to bring the meetings to order gvith the official gaval. Any chance visit or at any time of tho day may run ..cross end even become a member of one of them. Sometimes there are three meetings going on at tho same time. On one particular morning such a meeting as has been described was in session. The attendance was small. Perhaps this was due to the fact that the day was still young cbout 9 o'clock. Messrs. Ira Smith, M. C. Horton, J. D. McNeil and Sec retary Lyon, the latter In tho role of audience, composed tho assemblage. The Panama canal, the career of Mark Hanna, and tho recent mild winter weather had all been taken under discussion, disposed of and pigeonholed for future reference. Then It was that the little gathering took up the coming presidential elec AT THE COOS A Record of the Day's Guests and Some Facts and Fiction Common to Hotel Offices "Say," said tho strangdr at the Blanco, "do you have this kind of weather very often in this bay count ry? If you do I want to say right hero that this Is the greatest cllmato on earth. Every other place that I've been on this coast I've run into rain storms and fogs and every kind of weather. But theso cool crisp mornings aro tho best nature tonic I over saw. I don't know that I over felt so colt-liko In my life." Tho semi-winter weather which tho Coos Bay country has been exper iencing recently is rather unusual. y ARRIVED SCHOONERS SAILED Jan. 3 North Bend Jan. 1 Virginia Jan. 9 Omega Jan. 2 Repeat Jan. 11 Advent Jan. 2 Bkt.

Still tho lino of argument narrowed until tho chances of the two men as rivals in the presidential race were taken up. And hero Is what a straw voto revealed. Messrs. McNeil and Horton picked Bryan to win against Taft, whlfo Ira Smith picked Taft to walk away from the silver tongued politician. Just as the poll was taken Hank Dlers strolled in and the meeting adjourned. The question still remains. Who will it be? F. S. DOW. "Collections and business wero never better in our line on tho Coquille river. Contrary to a falling off of sales I may say that If anything wo have had a gain in business during the past few months." F. M. STEWART (Coos Bay Monumental Works.) "Business In our line has been very good. I have just received several fine granite monuments from Scotland and these with the large assortment which we carry in marble gives us one of the most complete lines ever carried in this section." D. L. AVERY (Manager of the Marshileld Skating Rink.) "Yes, the rink will bo ready for tho roller skaters by a week from tho coming Monday. Tho new octagonal floor which has been laid and tho remov ing of the wall seats by the erection of a gallery on the entrance side have effected a wonderful improvement in the rink's appearance. The skating area has also been materially in creased by tho alterations."

"A hunting a bachelor, sir," she. said. "How would I suit you, my lonely maid?" ' "Not until all other chances fade." BUCKSHOT. The bachelor leads a single life, But should he chance to wed He'll probably find things different For then ho will be led. L. A. LILJEQVIST. In the matrimonial market Many a maiden you will see, Though no bargain marked from forty Down as low as twenty-three. ROY E. LAWHORNE "It was a mean trick and I have a right to be mad. You have put a lot of us fellows in a bad predica ment and we ought to organize, seize you by force and give every member of your editorial force a good sound spanking." Whew! Didn't he call us down? He said a lot more, but sifted down that was the burden of his talk. He was one of those whoso names were given in tho list published in the Times on Saturday as eligible game for tho women of Coos Bay who wish to take advantage of the privilege accorded them on leap year of mak ing a marriage proposal. Ho is a confirmed old bachelor. And he ought to be ashamed of himself, we think, but he looks at it differently. Tho rest of the bachellors mentioned In the list made no complaints. Ho said there ought to be a law to pro tect bachelors on leap year. He had a bunch of statistics which he had gathered in. He said he had collected them. According to his statistics recently in the town of Walla Walla one bach elor jumped into the lake to avoid marrying a red headed widow and tho same day another bachelor In Oklahoma committed suicide at the altar and still another in Tennessee died of acute' lohengrlnphobla. The next day four bachelors in various parts of tho country wero found dead, one with gas turned on, ono with his throat cut and tho other two with great gaping wounds In their cran iums. Altogether,, according to his statistics, thero have been 24 such suicides sinco January 1, and in ad dition 67 bachelors have fled for parts unknown, 43 have made con fessions of imaginary crimes in order to obtain security in Jail, 166 have been sued for breach of promise of marrlago and 74 havo lost their rea son. "Under our present archaio cus tom," declared tho Marshfleld bach elor, "wo aro as defenseless as a man without candles when tho electric lights go out. When a de signing grass-widow takes the trail of one of us ho is utterly at her mercy. It is unlawful to shoot her, It is hopeless to try to circumvent or elude her, and should of us call on Marshal Carter or Mayor Straw for protection ho would bo regarded as a comedian and laughed at for his pains. Thero should certainly be some legal remedy for this distress ing condition of afafirs. So long as all tho most Intelligent, genial, use ful and handBomo men in tho land aro considered fair game for a vast and conscienceless hordo of blondo carnlvora and brunetto nnthrophagl Just that long civilization will waddle along under n horriulo handi cap and tho superman will remain a moro creaturo of fantastic dreams." .
