On Tuesday of last week the mem bers of that order took occasion to celebrate the 91st anniversary of the existence of the Independent Order of Odd Fellowship in America and to dedicate their new ball. Members of the several lodges throughout the country were in at tendance and the “ Three Linkers’’ took the town. The steamer Dis patch was chartered for the occasion and carried a crowd of about 150 from points all along the river, and including those from Coos Bay who had came over by train. The boat was met at the wharf by Bandon’s splendid concert baud aiid the visit ors were escorted through town, marching to the strains of music. At two p. m. the band again ap peared and called the assemblage together at the Orand Theatre, where a short program of band music, and a solo by Mrs. T. H. Mehl were rendered, followed by the address of welcome by G. I\ Treadgold. The members of the order then adjourned to the new hall where the business session was held, at which time many things of importance were looked after, the formation of the Coos County Odd Fellows’ Convention being one, with the following named officers: O . A. Hoyt of Bandon Lodgo No. 133 was elected permanent chuirman and Henry Sengstacken of Sunset Lodge No. 51 of Marshfield elected permanent secretary. The business of the convention is to be conducted by fire executive members of each lodge and such names sent to the chairman for ap pointment. The next annual meeting of the Convention will be held at North Bend, the home of Arago Lodge No. 28, that being the oldest lodge in the county. . I _______________J _____ Hall & Hall, Two Trains a Day. A tt o b k b is - at L a w , The local S. P. went onto the two- trains-a-day service the first of the month and it is now possible to go to the Bay, transact business and return the same day. This is a convenience which our people and the traveling publio greatly appre ciate, and it is to be hoped that the patronage of the road will be such that this may be continued indefi nitely. The Sunday service between Marshfield aud Myrtle Point was begun the first, with a little change in the schedule from that which the extra Sunday trains have been run ning on the past few weeks. The Sunday achedule now is the same as the morning schedule during the week. The train from Marshfield is due here at 8:55, and leaves for Myrtle Point 15 minutes later. Due from Myrtle Point on return at 10:35, and leaves for Mnrsbfield at 10:45. In the afternoon it is due here at 2:55 and starts tor Myrtle Point at 3:05. On the return it is due here at 4:35 and leaves for Marshfield st 4:45. Daniel in R kal E stats of a ll k in d s. Marshfield, Oregon. I _____________I E. G. D. Holden L aw f kb , u.

It is one o f the greatest fish states in the Union and the people have due respect for all birds that eat fish. AH loons, shags, coots, heron, crane and all other fish-eat ing birds are welcomed and protect ed. The state has many fine streams and any active loon; shag or fish duck can easily pick up too small trout or salmon in a day. During the spawning season a hungry shag or coot can secure a fill of salmon and trout eggs, besides all the young fish they desire. There are many shallow lakes where a heron or crane can spear dozens of fine trout without effort. These shallow lakes also furnish gallons o f spawn for coots. It is a paradise for hsb-eating birds and the people are so e a sy . They do not charge we birds any license. For us there is no closed season, catch limit, nor size limit, and the state pays men to protect us. The state charges citizens a li cense, limits their catch and makes them measure the length of the fish to see that they are over six inches. The average citizen does not fish ten days on his license and he don’ t catch as many fish in a season as one o f us does in a day. We hope to have laws enacted soon to keep keep people off our fishing grounds during the day as their presence annoys us besides they make the fish wary. However, the state furnishes hatcheries which turn out millions o f small fry for us every year besides hiring men to protect us. Some o f the more radical birds say they should pass laws favoring us more, but the conservatives say we had best be careful lest the people investigate and discover that we are eatiug four fifths o f the fish and spawn. Long live the Oregon fish laws, say we.

Judge Coke in a decision given Thursday of last week, holds that the Port ol Coos Bay Commission is a legally formed body and that County Treasurer Dimmick should immediately pay over to 9aid com mission all taxes in his hands so far collected for their use as such commission, which amounts to about $7,000. This case will be appealed. The case of R . A. Graham, the promoter ot our local railroad against J. D. Spreckels & Bros. Co., aud the Southern Pacific Co. which occupied the attentions of the court several days last week, was given to the jury on Monday. A verdict was found for the defendants in a short time. Exceptions were taken and a motion for an appeal has been filed. Chas. Nei*, the much talked of ■‘Coon Skin Charlie,” was a little too smoothe for the prosecutors. His plans were too well laid aud his stories so smoothely woven that it was impossible to convict him and he was allowed to hike for his home in Wyoming, where we presume he will again embark in the coyote business. He furnished lively entertainment for the court and all attending during his trial. Upon motion of his attorneys, the trial of William White, indicted for the stabbing to death ol his step father, L. R. Jones, at Bandon in lebruary, has been continued until the next term of court. This was done in order to give more time for the gathering of evidence in regard to White’s sanity. It is claimed that there is a streak of iusanity leading back through his ancestry, and the circumstances uuder which the killing was done goes to lend color to the theory, which will be thoroughly looked into The Newport at Our Dock. The steamer Newport landed at our dock last Friday on her first trip to this city since going on her regular run between here and Port land. She is in command of Capt. Parsons, formerly o f the Alliance. The Newport carries only freight, and will make a round trip every eight or ten days. She will call at Coos Bay each down trip, leaving what freight she may have for that place, and it is expected she will make calls at Tillamook when the occasion requires. On this trip she carried a large load of freight, and the prospects are good for sufficient work to be found to keep her on the run. The Newport had uo trouble in coming up the river. Of course she will take advantage of tides, but they tell us with just a little‘dredg ing near Parkersburg that a differ ence of two hours could easily be made. This, by the way, will fur nish a little food for reflection for those who are opposing the estab lishment of a port commission. It looks good to see an ocean steamer at our docks, and it is im portant to receive freight with as little handling as possible.

Is the meat trust responsible for or interested in the meat boycott? Thousands of farmers fed hogs and cattle during the winter months for marketing in the spring. It be comes unprofitable to feed stock of this kind after they arrive at a cer tain stage of maturity, snd more so when prices of feed are so high. If conditions could be brought about that would depress prices just when this lot of stock gets ready to come on the market, it would mean mil lions of dollars to the meat trust. A meat boycott would be a nice way of starting an agitation that would fuinisb an excuse for lower ing the price on cattle, hogs, etc. To help increase the tensity of the situation : nd scare the farmers to market their stuff, it would be very appropriate to announce that the meat trust bad meats enough for a six or ten months’ supply on hand. Such statements as these naturally startle the farmers, because they are Dot used to studying their buei. Dess as a whole— that is, counting hogs, cattle, sheep, etc., by the mil lions. The tobacco groweis of Kentucky are used to that kind of dope. They have been told time and again that the tobacco trust had tobacco enough to carry it from three to seven years, and that the farmers had better sell their tobacco or go broke waiting for a market. We don’t mean to say that that fellow down in the factory who is credited with starling the boycott was williDgly or even knowingly the tool of the meat trust in so doing. Trusts in our day have more men working in their interest who are innocent as to the results of their effort than is generally known.— Equity Farm Journal. and Aretino Talking Machine FREE with $25.00 cash trade and a cash payment of $2.50 on delivery of machine.

Welch, who cared for her during her last years and did all possible to make her comfortable. The deceased became a member of the church when young and her long life was well spent and the world was made better by her having lived in it. The interment took place in the G. A. R. cemetery at Bandon, the funeral being conducted bv Rev. 8 . B. Hollenbeak, of this city, and was atUndid by a large number of friends. THE O. K. BARBERSHOP * L.
