There was a gathering of those in
terested In the District Fair being
held at Marshileld, at the Chamber
of Commerce last night. The meet
ing was called to order by Dr. J. T.
McCormac, president of the Chamber
of Commerce. The report of the
meeting held by the Board of Com
missioners at Roseburg, February
3rd, at which Marshfleld was chosen
over other competitors, was read.
The final votes, according to the re
port stood 5 for Marshfleld and 3 for
Eugene.
What last night's meeting lacked
In numbers it more than made up
in enthusiasm.
Mr. P. F. Norton stated that the
District Board would expect Marsh
fleld to furnish suitable buildings
and a guarantee of purses sufficient
to make the program equally good
as the one pulled off at Roseburg
last year. Mr. Norton stated that it
would require In the neighborhood
of ?1500.00 to fix up the pavilion
and grand stand. President McCor
mac thought that possibly a building
suitable for a pavilion might be
leased down town.
Mr. Norton stated that the present
grounds were owned by the railroad
company and the Merchant Land
Co. The lease from the latter com
pany runs for three or four years,
but the railway refuses to execute a
lease only from year to year. Ho
thought It safe however, to make
such Improvements as would bo re
quired and the ground might bo held
for many years.
Mr. Jno. Bear was the only mem
ber of the District Board present and
bo placed himself on record as in
favor of the Fair but maintained
that the board would not be willing
to hold the Fair any place where
there was doubt of success.
C. A. Howard delivered an Inter
esting talk by citing a similar case
In his old homo town of Bowling
Green, Ohio, a plhco of 1000 or 5000
Inhabitants. They had a fair agita
tion thero and a number of public
spirited citizens associated them
selves and purchased 128 acres and
built a permanent location for tho
fair. Tho first fow years wore not
successes and It was a bit discourag
ing, but a few of them with tho right
Bplrit kept it going and ono day last
year the paid admissions were in ex
cesss of 35,000. Mr. Howard merely
used this as an illustration of what
might bo done with the proper
spirit nnd by sticking to it. Thou ho
said "Coos county has as much right
as any county to tho iair and should
have It. Wo should plan to have
permanent grounds as soon as pos
sible, but iu tho meaiitimo let us go
ahead with it. Tlio principal reaiuro
should bo tho race program with
urses largo enough to attract good
iiorses. Tins win uraw mo crowim
nd advertise this section. It is ono
f tho greatest and best advertising
propositions that could bo undertak
en."
Mr. Howard's talk was received
with an enthusiasm that indicated
that thoso present were heartily in
favor of pushing the project of tho
fair with a will.
A. II. Powers, of the Smith-Powers
Logging Co., was called upon by
Chairman Dr. McCormua and ho re
sponded by endorsing Mr. Howard's
remarks "with a good race program,
It can bo inado a winner and thoro Is
no reason why 75 or 100 men could
not bo found to subscribe tho neces
sary funds to inako It go with a will."
Mr. Nlcols hero called attention to
ftllO IliailUr Ul UlUUlll'U BlUVtt. 1UI
breeding purposes which would bo
a, Bploudld feature of a fair in a soc
tlon ronioved from railway communi
cation as Coos county Is. Ho stated
to his personal knowledge of tho
needs of this section in this particu
lar and that it would bo a big draw
ing card.
This suggestion mot with tho
hearty endorsement of all present
and was termed by Dr. McCormac
tho boat suggestion of tho evening.
Altogether It was a gathering of
practical and progressive- men imbued
rritn me spirit ol advancement who
jLltti t oatfli (fce project at tfco lis.

HOMER RETURNS AFTER
LONG ABSENCE FROM BAY
Boat Is Delayed By Rough AVcnther
On Trip Up From 'Frisc
Passenger List:
Tho twin screw steamer Homer ar
rived at tho North Bend dock early
this morning and alter discharging
her freight and passengers for that
city came down to Marshfleld whero
she docked about 10:30 o'clock.
The boat left San Francisco Tues
day evening. She ran into some
rough weather on her trip up the
coast and was delayed several hours
arriving off Coos Bay bar Thursday
night. Owing to tho roughness of
the bar she lay outside until this
morning. Tho Homer was formerly
on tho San Francisco-Coos Bay run
but of late she has been laid up In
San Francisco. Tho boat has a capa
city of about forty cabin passengers.
Although smaller than the Plant her
equally large passenger capacity Is
due to the fact that most of her state
rooms havo three berths instead of
two, as the Plant has. Captain T. 11.
Corning is mabter of the Homer.
Purser C. A. O'Connell is well known
to Coos Bay peopie having run In
hero on tho Kllburn before sho was
taken off this run. It has been about
eighteen months slnco Purser O'Con
nell was In Coos Bay. Tho Homer
carried a good freight cargo, tho
heaviest part being consignments of
supplies for tho local market. Tho
boat brought In thirty-two passen
gers and eight steerage. Following
Is tho list of first class passengers:
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Aiken, Mr. and
Mrs. C. Halverson, Mrs. E. Furman
and children, J. Gruber, L. Ringer, J.
Davis, R. Frederick, C. W. Small, A.
E. Shlno, G. Nelly, L. E. Babcock,

A good lady of Marshfloid compli

that cll's council did not maleual
izo last night. The only North
Bender In attendance was F. A. Moss.
Ho stayed at tho meeting Until At
torney Farrln had reached word No.
71,144 in the ordinance of disposing
of garbage. As at this word the
aldermen were .wrapt under the spell
of Attorney Farrln's tenor and en
grossed as well In tho ordinance it
self, F. A. Moss .took occasion to
make a modest exit. Ho escaped all
but tho falcon eye of the press. Mr.
Moss said he fully expected his fol
low townsmen to attend the Marsh
fleld session. As he had not seen
any of them he could offer no ex
planation as to their absence. It Is
thought, however, that Mayor Straw's
ultlmatlon regarding tho immutabili
ty of the Marshfleld saloon ordinance
as it now stands was the cause of
their absence.
