Have you given youi imagination a chance to work, and have mailed in one? This name should catch the fancy of everyone, it should be one which will identify the vicinity for what it really is. It should be catchy enough that mere mention would tell people what section is alluded to. In speaking of Rosarians, one doesn’t think much to know that Portland is being talked about. The same is true of Salem and her Cherrians. Some name could be fitted here. Once established and properly advertised, this name will do much to exploit this section of Oregon. If people here have pride in*the community, here is the best opportunity to obtain a unity never before experienced. Your idea may be worth $25 if you try. Taxation Forces Water Rate Raise There has been some discussion concerning the proposed raise In water rates, much of it without thinking. Facts behind this raise in rates may be directly traceable to the state tax commission, which has practiced near-usury in taxing the Brookings Water Co. Taxa I ion in this method, figures show, is next to usury. No firm whether private of corporately owned, can stand such expense and stay in business. This is true, not only here, but all over the state among privately-owned utilities. The water company, the Pilot be lieves, is justified in its petition to raise rates.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 11. 1949 It seems that a person going out in a car these days, should have all the liability insurance he can buy, together with the luck of the Irish, for it is about a 50-60 chance he will come to ■ his destination. Proof of this re mark may be seen by the two wrecks and one near-wreck the, past week. There may have been) The local Greyhound bus depot a number of others, un-reported. According to George Shipley, will be open these hours: Is is common knowledge that, who, twice-a-week, delivers all 7:00 a. m. to 5:15 p. m. many of the logging and lumber local freight for the concern, the 6:45 p. m. to 8:00 p. m. trucks, going south, give their Central Transfer Co., which, on trucks, full steam, to make the May 20, was sold to Mr. Frank Every Day Except Sunday Closed all day, Sunday south Harbor hill without having lin of Coos Bay, has changed its to go down into low gear, or com name to Coast Freight Lines.

Others, it is pointed out, are careful and peo ple are not alarmed by their passing. This must go on, it seems to me, until a death will be the price to stop this practice. White lines are put on higa ways for a purpose. They a re -so placed to warn motorists of impaired vision ahead, and their being placed in these spots is fo*' a definite purpose. Violation of this warning was cause for a wreck Sunday, which could've had much more grave results. Brookings Pelicans are a step nearer the pennant in Rogue Val- ley League, because they ha\e¡ always tried to give the fans a J game they like to see with the players doing their best at all times. Much of this credit, aside from the willingness and work on the part of players, may be traced to Business Manager Pete Lesmeister and Manager "Babe” Also noticeable is the spirit of all the players, who hki the game well enough to give it all j their ability, and the youngsters । who aspire to greater things in | the diamond sport. This year a lot of new talent has been de veloped on the local diamond. It will really show up better next y^ar, if the local team wishes to get into another league.
