Citizens Buy Stock of Confetti of Norton & Hansen to Avoid Trouble Only ouo untoward Incident mark ed tho biggest Fourth or July, cele bration In thu history of Coon Coun ty, which dined In Mnrshriol I Hut-! urdny night. That waa a clnuli Into j sniunmy evening over uiiompiH i) Warner Ogren, inaunger of Norton A IltuiKcn to ell confetti In viola tion of the order of County Health Officer Culln, City Health orflcor Straw and tho Fouith of July com mittee, who. In addition to objecting-! to It on general Haultary grounds, felt that It would especially be a meunco to the public at this time lowing to the prevelauce or in can Ion, whooping cough, mumps and i other more H'rIoun contagious dls ,oanftc In localities In this vicinity. Finally, In order to avoid what might have been a serious ruction, i members or tho Klk.M, Moose and Hnglos lodges, Including local phyH- Iclaus and business men, got togeth er mid wont. In a body to Ogren I at tlio Norton & Hansen Store and i Insisted that ho desist. Finally thoy purchased his whole supply, paying him fifty per cent more than It cost lit tn at wholesale and ordered It thrown Into the bay. I Somo of those who had been vlg loroislv opposing tlio throwing or I confetti had advocated more sit on mioiis stops t.- prevent It, but finally this menus at buying Ogren nfr was i adopted as tbn oslest meaiiB of .handling the situation .fid provont- lug trouble marring tho celebration. Dr. Straw, as City Health Otf.- cer, was prepared to take uioie 'stringent slops to prevent It, but In order to do ho he would have boon compelled to arrest and pros ecute nil throwing It ns woll as those kolllug It. Ah thoro throw ing it would probably hnvo boon mostly strangers who woro bore ns iKiiestH of tlio city ror a good time, thiH-p In charge or tho celebration felt that It would be unfair to hnvo them punished for a thing which they had no Ituowledgu or being an orreusc. I The closing or tho mntlor was rather animated and attracted a large crowd. Dr. Ilousovvorth, MesHrB. Conway, McArthtir "' " number or others closed up the nint- ! tor. ProvloiiBly there had beon nn animated discussion, accoidtug to reports botwooit Ogron, Dr. Strnw, Win. Asplund and othora. Ilcsldcs tho 'local parties Interest ed, others took steps to stop It. Foy Cox, or Camp One, ono of tho host known loggors In this section, united with Dr. Straw nnd tho Fourth of July commltteo and most or tho loggora with whom ho took It up put tho ban on confetti. Thoro wob only one fire alarm dur ing tho celebration nnd that was about 7:30 Saturday evening. Tho gong waa soundod for the chemical but no general alarm was turned In. It occurred In tho auto used In ono of tno otroot tontB by n noatcard nho- i togrnphor. Tho damage was sllKht. Only ono auto nccldont, or rather near nccldont wnB roportod. That i was when Miss Lucy Powers' machine I struck tho llttlo daughter of Nick Stnmhono on Front stroot Saturday afternoon. Tho llttlo girl was knock down by tho mud guard and slightly bruised. MIsh Powers was driving slowly and by prompt use of tho emergency brake prevented running ovor tno cium. Mr. Stambono had started across tho street nnd tho llt tlo ono darted after him. Ho does not place tho slightest blame on Miss Povvora for tho accident, but on tho contrary credits her with oxtromo caro and efficiency In handling tho machine, WesterlKJi-g Prnlscil.

There Ib growing up on Coos Hay a sentiment or this son that is hound to mean big things to tho community. When a public matter neods attention, there are iiualiried mon and .women In tho community to give effective service without coat. And those men can call for helpers who willingly do their share to bring the matter to a auccossful issue When a man Is called, ho Blinply doi'j tho work and thnt Is all there Is about It. Marshfleld Is exceedingly fortunate In theso mon, nnd tho movement Is spreading bo that it embraces nearly everyone In tho city. Thoro tiro many who deservo much uodlt for the work done to make the Fourth of July colouration a supremo buccobs. Tho general commit tee proved to bo an tiblo and intelligent combination that produced re sults. At the head or them was Harry KInlball, who added to a tireless en orgy a grasp or details that made him conspicuously the right man in tho right placo. Associated with hi n nnd each responsible for somo feature of tho work woro F. O. Horton, .1. Albeit Matson, Goorgo Oood rum, Frank D. Cohan, Isaac It. Towor, F. A. Tlodgon, Dr. Leslie nnd Dr. K. K. Straw. Theso mon simply worked like Trojans to make the cele bration a hiiccosb nnd havo well earned tho thanks of all tho people of MarBhriuld Thoro was only ono untoward Incldont of tho entlro cololirntlon nnd (hat happily pasrod orf without ninth difficulty. The porelstent penur louaness of Warner Ogren, of Norton & Hansen's Store, who Insisted on selling confetti against tho lnstructl"iis nnd wishes of County Health Of ficer Culln and City Health Ofricer Dr. Straw nearly precipitated trou ble, but thanks to the firmness or Dr. Straw nnd tho patriotism and unseirish loyalty of a number or tho fr.Uernnl gmletlci, the confetti throwing was suppressed. This ne ompllshmont was a rosult or a coni mlttbw ot IClks agreeing to purchase all the ronrettl held by Norton A Hansen at fifty per cent advanto ovor what It cost them. Tho Moose nnd Kaulo lodges also loyally offered to share (ho expente If ueoded and support Dr. Straw In his efforts to protect the health of tho people of the commuiilty. Warner Ogren, manager of Norton & Hnnson's, stuck out for his pound of flesh and was successful In adding a few dirty dollars to his profits, but by his action he lost tho respect of thu decent, loyal and law-abiding peoplo of tho city. Ogron's attempt to force confetti throw ing nnd h's utter disregard of tho heilth and happiuoss, convoiiieucu and comfort of tho people or the city line earned Tor him the contempt ot every mnn who holds loyalty to h's home city above a row dirty dollars that might be made In iiuostlonnble practices. It Is barely pos sible that tho loss or the trade of such men will amount to as much In u year ..s the fow dollars profit mnde by his confetti deal.
