Otherwise
From Tuesday' Dally.
The Chamber of Commerce Concert
Saturday evening was a decided aucesc
in every particular. '
The music by the Band was of the
highest order, tho Overture, Bartholdo,
being especially beautiful. The Ambus
cade also was presented in a moat realis
tic and masterly manner. ,
H. Ltndo rendered a flute solo in bis
usual pleasing atlye; and that the piano
solo was thoroughly appreciated, was
attested by the enthusiastic encore she
received.
A. II. Gallon, the snecesef ul dog train
er, whose years of careful attention re
sulted in the wonderful talking dog of
Lcondor Bros, circus, exhibited a train
ed do, Its tricks were bright and
amuaing and thowed a wonderfnl
amount of indulgence for so young a
fog,
F. A. Sacchl's vocal solo was executed
with his unal superior degree of excel
lence, and his response to an encore,
though brief, was charming.
Tho Banjo selections by It. M. Crux
showed a surprising degree of skill and
wqre successively applauded by the
audience.
,The vocal solo to have been given by
L.J.Simpson waa not forthcoming, but
that gentlemau treated tho audience to
a few words explanatory pf the position
ol the Chamber of Commerce in eo di
verting a manner that bis. delinquency
was forgiven.
W. 8. Gureona boihg unavoidably ab-seat.-'the
program was necessarily rob
bed of a very attractive uumber.
The "Message from Coon Town" was
right up to the standard of work aWaya
presented by Meicers Pratt and Dqngan
and closed a most pleasing program with
a happy touch of real hnmor.
The attendence was good and about
1 110 was cleared for the exchequer of

Coos Bay Not on their Map
Chas. N. Norrla of Tenmlle returned
to bia home yesterday, from a visit in
San Francisco. While there be met
many people who were making inquiries
aboot Coos Bay. Generally the first
question was in regard to the railroad.
At the hotels he beard several inquire
about tho Bay and was surprised at the
stupidity ot the hotel clerks, they being
unable to give any information. There
was no way to .find out bo to. reach
Coos Bay only by referring to a direct
ory. Mr. Norrla went to several hotels
and made Inquiry about Coos Bay, our
ious only to see how the subject would
bo treated, and he invariably met with
the same result.
T'aere should be something dono to
Inform tho traveling pr.bllc, how to
reach Ooos Bay. A placard framed and
hung In public placoa, such na hotols,
restaurants, eteAmor landings and docks.
It is certain that much koj-I could bs
accomplished is that way.
