THE DAILY COOS MY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 191908;,
WM. BETTJS
I
Well Known Pioneer of Coos
County Succumbs to At
tack of Pneumonia.
"William Bettls, a resident of Coos
county for about thirty years, and
one of the best known citizens of
Falrvlow, died Wednesday March 18,
of pneumonia. He was about C8
years old.
Mr. Bettls came hero from Canada
and settled on a farm, clearing the
timber off tho tract and converting
It Into one of tho prettiest and most
productful tracts In this section. A
hard worker, progressive and abso
lutely honest, his death will bo
mourned by all who know him.
Ho Is survived by a wlfo and four
children, one son, Harald, having
been killed in a log jam several years
ago. Tho living children are: Mrs.
It. J. Coke, of North Bend; Mrs. J. J.
Clinkenbeard; William Bettls and Al
bert Bettls, of Falrvlow.
Tho funeral arrangements have not
Tjeen announced.
CONTRACT TO PLANK
FAIRVIEW ROAD LET
County Court Awards Highway Im
provement Job and Starts
Campaign.
The county court has awarded tho
contract for regradlng tho Falrvlew
road to tho county farm road to J.
M. and A. G. Barker. Vern Barker
secured tho contract for planking
tho road and has ordered a portable
. sawmill from Portland with which
to saw out the timbers. Ho expects
to begin planking tho road by July
1 One owning a portablo sawmill
should bo able to secure many con
tracts in this county for planking
roads. This Is thought by many to
Tjo tho best means to permanently
improve tho thoroughfares of this
county. In many places there Is
enough timber on tho right of way
and In others there aro ranchers and
others who would bo only too willing
to donate tho necessary timber for i
such purposes, as they aro willing
to do most anything to havo good j
roads. Thero aro many miles of i
road thnt can bo planked, rocked or
giaveled without hauling tho mater
ial any great dlstanco, and If tho
supervisors will use tho material
closest at hand for road purposes
they will bo ablo to build good sub
stantial roads at a ilguro that will
bo satisfactory to tho taxpayers of
tho road districts. Coqulllo Herald.

NEW BAND GANG SAW
MACHINE IN USE HERE
Second of Kind Ever Operated in the
United States Tested at tho New
C. A. Smith Mill.
Tho band gang of flvo saws, tho
second of it skind over put In use
In the United States, was put In oper
ation at tho new mill of the C. A.
Smith Lumber and Manufacturing
company here yesterday. Tho ma
chine Is a great tlmo saver.
It is a system of flvo saws whereby
a log while being run through once
can bo cut into flvo different sizes of
lumber. Heretofore, tho log had to
bo run through as often as It was de
sired to convert It, or rather the re
maining portion of it, into different
sized lumber. Yesterday's operation
of tho band gang was largely a test,
but it proved very satisfactory.
