That may or may not be the excuse, ■ hut the league is finished, and , Crescent City, Brookings, Cen tral Point are orphans without a league. Sunday, Pete'’ Lesmeister, bus- 1 iness manager, went to Coauille, in an effort to get into South western Oregon which includes Myrtle Point, Reedsport, Bandon and others, but he wasn't given any satisfaction because they claimed it would increase the ‘dong distances" for games. An ' effort may be made to enter a league including teams of Cres cent City, Arcata and Eureka, or to reinstate in the Rogue Valley league, of which Brookings was a members two years ago. Pete knows fans about the area want their baseball, and they want the best class possible, rle is leaving nothing undone to ac complish that fact. It might be added that Pete’s life has lots of room for baseball. It has been since his his hobby, he youth, lies too old and too fond of t he spoi t to quit now. * the ast month or more? 1 lave you noticed any changes not altered .it this moment?

This move is another step toward realization of a long-felt need power in the area. Later this year, and perhaps just after the beginning of 1952, Bonneville will have the circuit completed to Gold Beach, linking up the cir cuit which will prevent many outages which might occur. Brookings is ahead on power schedule, but the northern cud is still behind in its needs. When these needs -oe fulfilled, then the¡ growth of the county wil be giv-\ en added impetus, and reason for more and continued expansion more than people at the mo ment realite. If our telephone situtaion were abreast, there would be cause for rejoicing. However, there is one good reason for lack of telepl one expansion capital. Being a stock company, it is regulated by all the commissions and bureaus of government, which tell these corporations how much stock to be sold for expansion, which is limited to a ratio not to exceed 30 to 40 per cent. While I am not a public rela tions man of any sort. I believe I have the picture behind the telephone situation. Here in this area wc hare certain i growing pains, and teli phone • serrice is Coast Telephone but one. Company. extending from Ever ett, Wash.. to Eureka, Calif.. is swamped with situations which are comparable to the expansion m this immediate area. It is a task which, takes plenty of capital to alleviate. I presume thdit capital is part tally the trou ait , and sloumess in obtaining a lot of tete phone materials make up another part. never in its The west sed such an expansion.
