ThE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIEL2. OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY, 10, 1908. 1 If P t M Vk DISTRICT FI IS W Chamber of Commerce Meet- f ing Manifests the Coos Bay Spirit. SPEAKERS ARE APPLAUDED Frances H. Clarke -Delivers , Stirring Address and Capt. I Recites Original Poem. The Coos Bay spirit was dominant at last evening's meeting of the chamber o commerce. The very at mosphere was vibrant with It. It was voiced In the enthusiastic talks of C. A. Howard and F. P. Norton, In the eloquent and stirring Im promptu address of Francis H. Clark, in the animated music of the band and the militant measures of Captain Magenn's patriotic poem, "The Coming of the Fleet." The Times regrets that the Captain's promise of the poem to one of the leading San Francisco dallies will not permit its publication at present but it will appear in The Times simul taneously with its appearance in the San Francisco publication. The enthusiasm for the District Fair which was kindled at tho meet ing the evening before was commu nicated to last "night's assemblage. There was nothing but words of praise and promise for the proposed exhibition. Mr. Clark's earnest and inspiring words found a ready re sponse in tho hearts of his auditors ns evinced by the warmth of their en dorsement. Rarely is there such a harmonious combination of elo quenca, and practical suggestion as finds a place In the felicitous phraso with which Mr. Clark voices his faith In an appreciation of tho resources and advantages of Coos Day. As a result of conference he presl dent, Dr. McCormac announced the following commltteo from various parts of Coos county to enter on tho preliminary preparations for tho fair: Marshfleld A. H. Powers, F. P. Norton. North llentl L. J Simpson Coqiilllo A. J. Sherwood. Myrtle Point W. B. Pike. ISnmlou Stephen Galller Curry County R. D. Hume. Work will bo inaugurated to make tho coming District Fair one of tho best over held In Southern Oregon The musical feature of last ove nlng's chamber of commerce meeting was a valuablo and appreciated fea turo of tho evening. President Mc- Cormnc's gracious and grateful tend cr of appreciation and thanks to tho members of tho band was timely and appropriate. i t AT THE CHURCHES t t CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Delightful Evening Passed By Guests of Ladies Bridge Whist Club. To hidden music, the strains of which filled tho I. O. O .F. hall in a flood of harmony, the ladies of the Bridge Whist club, of Marshfleld, and their guests, last night danced St. Valentine's Day of 1908 Into history. The memory of last night's ball will long linger in the minds of those who attended. In the profu sion of cedar branches, Oregon grape vines and huckleberry shrubbery, mute testimony to Coos Bay's per petual summertime, that metamor phosed the severity of tho hall Into a luxurious nature bower; In the ele gant simplicity of tho gowns, the pre domination of pink, white and blue, suggestive of the rhododendron, the rose and the violet, worn by the ladles, the elusive spirit of spring seemed to hover in intangi ble omnipotence seemed to hang qulveringly on each note of melody as the dancers circled the hall. Tho three score, odd, of couples who attended the ball were repre sentative Coos Bayans. Dominant throughout tho evening was that spirit of cordial hospitality and un affected courtesy which distinguish es tho social gatherings of Coos' Bay. Tho beautiful mythical love legend of St. Valentine was strikingly sym bolized in tho countless hearts that decorated the walls of the hall, and hung in streamers from a mass of evergreen In the center of tho cell ing, running from thence to each of the four corners. It might be stated that tho hearts could also have been symbolic of the trophies male, of of course which that errant little knight, Archer Cupid, has gathered in since last St. Valentine's day In 1907. From 8:30 until past 1 o'clock tho dancers enjoyed tho hospitality of tho ladles of the Bridgo Whist club and tho music of tho Coos Bay or hcestra. Following are tho members of the card club: Mcsdames, Straw Staf ford, Perry Gettins, Perham, Law lor, Flanagan, Nicholson, Farrln, Wright, Bargelt Scheutter, Richard son; Miss, Painter, Kaufman, Hut chison, Anderson, Butler, O'Conuell. If Eugeno D. White, who wroto an interesting letter to tho Portland Telegram on Coos and Curry counties and which is republished In another column of tho Times this evening, had visited tho Valentino's ball In Marshfleld last ovenlng ho might havo learned moro of the social customs of this section than his let ter Indicates.

SPInllhD EN I nublAbHI WKIrco line MIIIItL ST.VALEHTINE'S" limes Leap Year Article Brings Still Another Contribution. A Vein of Pathos Is found in tho article by "J. W. T." and while eight by ten rooms and lonesome chafing dish meals have their uses, one can see plainly that this writer Is not one who shuns the society of men or prac tices what she advises. To her a life as bachelor maid would not appeal as she illustrates for her article shows there Is warm blood in her veins. Still, her article Is commend able defense of tho Independence of young women and if it were lived up to by the young women of the day tho men would find Infinitely more Interest In the quest and would have less reason for believing that every marriageable woman is ready to freeze; to tho first offer of mar riage. Any man admires independence in a woman, but he doesn't want too much of It, and the article by "J. W. T." leaves le impression! of something just a little more than Is necessary in that attribute. Tho average Coos Bay man, if we judge them correctly, would think himself outclassed by the maid this author pictures so vividly. He would understand it would be- an endless uncertainty and a hopeless waste of time to pursue this Ideal and so would hesitate to enter the lists and would leave the maid to her blessed Independence which would sooner or later pall on her if she found it was not causing some swain uneasiness. It is a favorable sign to find somo interest being aroused in your mat rimonial bureau for it is bringing out some excellent thoughts, even though few of them seem to have tho ring of sincerity. Tho communica tions which have been published so far, largely seem thrown out as in vitations for argument rather than expressive of the writers' actual sen timents. Let it be the rule hereafter in the discussions to omit subterfuge and cleave to convictions. An instance of this trend we find "J. W. T.", which preadventuro means "Just We Two," complaining of tho "escapo" of the best men on Coos Bay, meaning, likely, that they are married. Possibly every married man on the Bay took this as a special compliment to himself and has al ready Inquired at the Times office tho Identity of "J. AV.. T." with the thought of rewarding her in some manner for her encouraging words. Certainly, there Is no recompense for an independent woman as the men ignore it. She' will become do cile enough when she observes that nobody cares for her independence. Few marriageable women or men, despite asservations to tho contrary, are entirely sterllo of thoughts of marriage. Ono who writes so enter tainingly of the beauties of Inde pendence as "J. W. T." would bo ono of tho first to lose her Illusions should the right man como into her life. And she would look as earnest ly on married life as she now pre tends her indifference. How easy to say pio thing and mean another. So with "J. W. T." She exploits tho bacholor maid and perhaps, If the truth wero known, has already made her cholco. Most mon in theso days havo learned to believe what they chooso when a woman talks, and so wo ac cept "J. W. T's." article with tho reservations enumerated.

The Western Meat company, of San Francisco represents th new Idea in the development of great In dustries. This concern immediately after the fire went fourteen miles from the city into San Mateo county eight miles from the slaughter houso district and erected a model, modern sanitary packing establishment. Re cently there has been somo unsavory disclosures in the San Francisco pa pers of the unsanitary conditions in Butchertown, as It is called but there has been no censure of the Western Meat Co's. establishment which is be yond criticism in that respect. A recent Issue of the San Francisco Ex aminer had the following letter In reference to this subject which will prove Interesting to Coos Bay readers as this company's products, the East ern Star hams and bacon and Golden Gate lard aro handled on tho local market. The letter Is as follows: THE PLANT OF THE WESTERN MEAT COMPANY IS NOT IN HUTCHERTOWN. Editor "Examiner": In connection with the disclosures of the Federal health officials respect ing the unhealthful and unsanitary conditions prevailing in Butchertown, it Is proper to explain, for the en lightenment of any part of the pub lic not already fully aware of the fact, that the great Plant of the West ern Meat company Is located at South San Francisco (South City) In San Mateo county, eight miles south of Butchertown, and is not included In the unfavorable report of the health officials on Butchertown plants. United States government inspec tion has always prevailed at the plant of the Western Meat company, and the consumers of tho products of this company know that they may at all times rest confident in the assurance that throughout the entire plant of the company cleanliness is the first consideration, and that matters of hygiene and sanitation receive con stant and careful attention. All of the products of tho Western Meat company, including fresh meats, bear the U. S. Government Inspect or's stamp as a guarantee of their wholesomeness. United States Government Inspec tion at the Plant of tho Western Meat company has been strictly enforced since tho plant first started opera tions, and this inspection protects tho public against any and all meat products not strictly fit for human consumption, as well as against the contamination . of sound meats through infection from rats or other wise. We appreciate the efforts of tho health authorities to improve the san itary conditions of San Francisco, and are always glad to co-operate with them toward this end. Yours very truly, W. D. BENNETT, -Secretary, Western Meat Co.
