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.

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.

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

Telegram on Coos and Curry counties
and which is republished In another
column of tho Times this evening,

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.

A Packing House That Is Con
ducted Along Sanitary
Lines and Several Miles
Distant From Butcher
town. 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.
The Western Meat Co's products
aro handled on Coos Bay by tho well
