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

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.

tion. Arguments finally simmered
down to a selection of candidates
rnd Taft and Bryan wero tho lucky
ones. 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."

"Where aro you going, oh! lonely
maid?"
"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.

In the matrimonial market
Many a maiden you will see,
Though no bargain marked from

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."

of that?
