Liquor Men Clnliii That Law is One
bided ami May Make Fight On
It Soon.
Moro details received today by
Judge Hall regarding Judge Hamil
ton's ruling on the petitions of B. A.
Becket and other Coqullle liquor men
to have the proposed local option
election in June set aside, show that
tho ruling only affects the certain
districts and not the county as whole.
Tho question for tho county as a
whole will be voted on June 1st, but
a temporary injunction has been is
sued restraining the submission of
the question to certain districts. Tho
hearing on this injunction will be
sometime during tho present term of
court and it Is not unlikely that It
will bo made permanent.
Judge Hamilton upheld the
liquor men's contention that the pro
hibition question according to the
State law could not be submitted
in certain districts moro than once
overy two years. Now, it happens
that the question was submitted
about a year ago in ryjrtaln districts
that are 'now., "wet," so unless argu
ments and law ar,p presented to make
Judge Hamilton change his ruling,
tho question cannot bo submitted to
these sections as districts again.
However, tho law permits these dis
tricts, as part of the county, to vote
on the question again In June.
Under tho law, all precincts in tho
county that give a majority for pro
hibition shall remain "dry" for two
years even If the total voto of the
county Is against prohibition. How
ever, if tho county as a whole, gives
a majority for prohibition and even
though the vote In certain precincts
is against prohibition, these precincts
as part of tho county must remain
"dry."
The liquor men clnim that the law,
owing to tho above peculiarity, is one
Bided, and It Is possible that they may
attempt to make a test-case against
it.
The prohibition workers, under tho
direction of tho recently formed Coos
County Anti-saloon League, are pre
paring to make a strenuous campaign
for their side.

The Times presents a rough sketch
of the proposed new hotel to be
erected by J. H. Bridges, at the
corner of Broadway and 'C streets.
Tho illustration is necessarily crude
being made from two different sheets
of the architects drawings and con
veys, but a meagre idea of what will
be a beautiful and substantial addi
tion to the public improvements of
Marshfleld. The hotel will be a four
story structure of concrete and steel
and will bo erected at an approximate
cost of $50,000. It is of the Mission
style of architecture which will be

EXPENSE OF KEEPING CHICKENS
Large Number of Letters Re

WASHINGTON, APRIL 21. Tho
minimum expenso at which a hen
may be maintained in comfort for a
year a problem which is now the
subject of profound consideration in
congress is tho bone of contention
among poultry Impresarios In all
parts of tho country, judging from
tho scores of communications being
received hero. Each writer Insists
that his estlmnte Is correct, but no
attempt will bo made to strlko an
average until tho evidence is all in.
Somo of the most interesting follow:
$2.15 Per Hen is Xate Ullven's Care
ful Estimate.
WEEIvAPAUG, R. I., April If.,
All matters of interest in this thriv
ing metropolis havo been subordinat
ed to tho task of trying to decido
just how much each hen should be
allowed annually. Wholo families
havo split on tho proposition and
oven tho hens can't come to an agree
ment. "1'vo been keeping hens for years,"
said Nato Bliven, general store
keeper, "and I've never been able to
llguro out what each hen spends.
Some hens eat moro than others, and
somo hens eat less. You can't fool
them on feed, though. Give them
rotten grub and you'll get a similar
brand of eggs. Taking room, board
and expense Incurred in freeing them
from foreign entanglements, nnd I
should say that $2.15 would bo a
pretty good average."
Colorado Can't Solve It.
COUKLEG, Col.. April 10. "That
question never will bo settled," said
Jim unison. "How are you going
to figure out an annual allowance
and include tho setting hens? It
can't bo did. In tho old days a hen
was content to squat on a pllo of
straw to do hor hatching; now sho ,
demands a hair mattress or a feather ,
bed. All these highfalutln' notions I
come from eriibslng tho birds with the !
Incubator variety."
"Ami you must ruiuombor," inter
rupted Toby Tucker, "that nil tho
time a hen Is settln' she ain't layin,'
and her board and keep Is going on
Jiiht tho satuo. Where sho used to
Uilft for horsolf, now sho demands a
sulphur souso every day and tho serv

The ground floor plan embraces
the hotel office and lobby on tho cor
ner and adjoining this on the 'C
street side will be the buffet and cafe
and dining-room. There will also be
two store-rooms which may be utiliz

sample rooms. The second floor con
tains a large parlor and writing .id
reading room in addition to numer

The hotel will contain seventy rooms

"Strikes us out this way that the

by Enjoyable Function.
The official of the Worthy grand
patron, P. S. Dunn of Eugene, and
tho worthy grand matron, Mrs. Flo
rence M. Bargelt of Marshfleld, last
evening was made the occasion of
one of the most delightful recep
tion and celebrations ever held by

Eastern Star. There was a large
attendance of members of the organ
ization on Coos Bay and aside from
the business features of the gather
ing, a most delightful social time
was enjoyed.
There was special drill work by
tho teams and also initiations, show
ing the officers of the state organiz
ation how the local body could con
fer tho degrees. After the conclu
sion of the work, tho members of
the team and the officers of the local
chapter wero complimented upon

Knight presided as toastmaster and
among those who responded were

handsome clock ana Mr. Dunn an
artistically engraved souvenir ink
stand. ing held hero today. A resolution
endorsing Taft for president, was
tabled. A rising voto resulted in
only 25 delegates out of 7G voting
for tho resolution.
Tho platform declares a renewal
of alleglnnce to tho principles of the
Republican party. While recogniz
ing the existing tariff schedules
"hould bo readjusted to current con
ditions, emphatic opposition is de
clared to tariff tinkering by pieco
meal. It urges the restoration of
tho American flag to tho ocean car
rying trade, and generous pension
legislation for army and navy vete
rans. On the question of Instruc
tlonss, it asserts that tho real inter
ests of tho presidential candidate to
be nominated will bo best sorved
without specific or Implied instruc
tion in the form of resolutions or
preferences In the convention.
