Several good and enthusiastic speeches were made, among the speakers being Judge Sperry, E. H. Kern, Walter Sinclair, and Judge Sehlbrede. A committee was appointed by the chair to draft resolutions along the line of thought as expressed by our people, and the following was submitted and unanimously adopt­ ed: Whereas, Ths Coos Bay and In ­ land Electric Railway Company proposes to build an electric rail­ way line from Coos Bay via Co­ quille and M yrtle Point to Rose* burg, and The contracting parties took their places under a large green and white bell, and after the solemn words were said which united them, they received the congratulations of their friends. The bride looked very pretty in a pearl gray silk daintily trimmed with whit« lace with a long bridal veil falling from a wreath o f white lillies of the valley. She carried a shower bouquet of white carnations. The groom was dressed in the con­ ventional black. Miss Williams was charming in a pale blue crepe tie chine. The house was prettily decorated in green and white. Huns And Kucttnef Make Statement of Their Plans. j We take the following letter from Coos County Granges. The charter list of Coos Bay Orange at Marshfield was closed last Saturday by State Deputy Cyrus H. Walker with ¡14 members. It is the intention of the officers to increase the membership to at least 100 before the next meeting of the State Grange, in May,1910. Mr. Walker expects to put in a grange this week at or Dear Bandon, thus giving Coos county five Granges which will entitle them to two sets of delegates in tbe State Grange, which meets at Oregon City. There are many things of vital in- terest to the public, that the Grange as a body is seeking to accomplish The parcels post, postal savings banks, keeping in force the law tax ing colored oleomargerice 10 centB per pound, etc. A matter of local interest is that Linn County Business Council made up of delegates from Linn’s 15 granges and several of Benton county’ s Granges, passed a resolu tion at its last meeting, May 1st favoring a law making a uniform rate of not more than three cents per mile on all rattroads doing Inisi ness in Oregon. Some lines still charge four cents per mile. The State Grange at its meeting, May 11th, at McMinville, endorted the resolution, hence all the Granges in Oregon are expected to help se cure this law at the bands of our next Legislature. The Grange is working for the best interests of all the people, it is especially dsvoted to the agri cultural classes. Every farmer and dairyman should belong to the Grange. j the Coos Buy lim es which is self ex | plaontory: Portland, Ore., Sept. 13.— Editor Coos Bay Times: Referring to your article printed iu your valu able paper ou September 10, re- garding the railroad situation at Marshfield, Ore., we wish you would be kind enough to give us space in your valuable paper to en­ lighten the people of Maishfield in regard to the situation as it really stands, and to correct the erroneous article appearing in your paper on September 10. In the first place, we desire to call attention to the fact that the undersigned did not come to Marsh­ field to disrupt your community, nor antagonize your people against the Coos Bay, Boise and Idaho Railroad Company, but that we came th^re in the interests o f the Coos Bay and Inland Electric Rail­ road Company to make arrange­ ments with your citizens toexpedite the construction of an electric line between Roseburg aud Marshfield. In order to justify ourselves, we herewith give you the facts ot the procedure taken place in your good city during our stay there, and hope that you will print this in your paper, so as to set us right before the people, and also give you an opportunity to print true facts.
