Services to Start Tuesday
Changes at the Hotel
In order to move the hotel coffee
shop nearer to the lobby and better
serve the patrons of that popular
hostlery, several changes are to be
made, starting next week.
' JtoL
The present dining room adjoining
the lobby is to be transformed into
the coffee shop by moving most of
the equipment into that room which
will be enlarged by removing the
folding door partition. A doorway
from the street is to be cut, next to
the Joyce Beauty Salon and a ramp
will take the place of steps for the
ten-inch rise there. The door from
the lobby to the dining room, in front
of the desk is to be closed, and the
doorway at the rear of the desk, into
what is to be the coffee shop, will be
widened and made an arched way.
The present coffee shop is to have
a partition constructed half way
back providing a rental occupancy in
the front, The rear half will be re
served as a banquet room where a
maximum of 78 people can be served.
Both coffee shop.and banquet room
will retain the present entrances to
the kitchen and the entire set-up will
be more compact and make the serv-
|n( of the hotel’s patrons easier and
quicker.

A CHEESE
The Danish Creameries, of which
G. H. Carlyle is manager, will start
operating as a cheese manufacturing
plant on March 1. The plant is being
assembled in the Steels Estate build
ing, formerly occupied by the Busy
Corner Grocery, and will occupy the
south half of the building. Carpenters
are at work putting in a partition
across the building, half way back
from the Front street entrances, and
a doorway and loading platform are
to be provided for the factory on the
Willard street side.
Mr. Carlyle, who comes from Cali
fornia, has associated with him, Carl
Bundy, former dairyman of Hum
boldt county, who will act as contact
man in dealing with the dairymen of
the valley and in securing shipments
of milk to the new plant.
The product of the plant has all
been contracted by the KZaft cheese
company, and for the present the en
tire production will be limited to
cheese although butter manufacture
is contemplated in the future. Throe
cheese vats are already here and more
will be added as the need arises. Two
cheese men will assist Mr. Carlyle in
the plant.
The former office of the Busy Cor
ner will be used as a curing room and
the former rest room is to be the of
fice and laboratory. The floor of the
factory is to be of concrete, over the
wooden floor originally laid.
Mr. Carlyle announced no policy,
when talking to the Sentinel man this
week, but will doubtless do so in the
near future.
Red Cross Election, Feb. 24
The annual election of the Coos
county chapter of the Red Cross
which was to have been held in
Marshfield this evening has been
postponed until next Monday, Feb.
24, at 8 p. m. in the city hall at
Marshfield. The reason for the post
ponement is that a distinguished Bed
Cross official, John Zydeman, of Se
attle, who represents the veterans'
buerau of the Red Cross, will be
present Monday evening to speak.
All American Legion commanders in
the county have been invited to at
tend the meeting to present any prob
lems they have and seek information
from Mr. Zydeman.
All Red Cross members in the
county are eligible to participate in
the election and are urged to be pres
ent at Monday evening’s meeting.
None Hurt When Car Overturns
Mr. and Mrs. Marion Clayton and
baby were very fortunate Tuesday
evening that they were not injured
when their car turned over, not even
by a scratch. He backed out from his
garage on North Henry and as he
made the sharp turn to get on to the
street the car started to topple over
