IAD SERVICE
Many Complications As Result
of Coos Bay Gas and Elec
tric Company's Troubles.
The Times like most of the other
business houses of Marshflelc, was a
victim of the poor service of the
Coos Bay Gas and Electric Company
Saturday, and in consequence some
of the subscribers did not receive
their paper until Sunday morning.
As everyone who depends on elec
tricity for light or power had
troubles of their own, no further ex-
i
planation is necessary.
The Issuance of a newspaper is
none too easy when everything goes
right, or at least the mechanical end
runs smoothly. But when it doesn't,

graphic description of It.
The Times has a gasoline engine
in reserve for emergencies and If it
hadn't been for it, there wouldn't
have been any copy of The Times
Saturday, December 5. The electric
power was shut off early Saturday
morning and with the exception of
about three minutes in the afternoon.
there was no further service during
the day. At any rate, the gasoline
engine was started in the morning

that they run better when incon

has been called in to do something,
that others have failed at ..to. exert
every effort to do the task and de
monstrate his ability. But there Is
not any pride about a gasoline en

noon Saturday. J. L. Koontz was
