Some Ten-Mile men up at the north

last week that cost them over $ 100 .
They started out a t once to find a re

lakeside. While they were gone aiv-
jther party, not, probably in search
of a still, but believing they could
put it to good use when they saw it,
came along and carried it off. On
returning and finding the still missing
.hey were righteously indignant at
the thieves and began to talk of ap
pealing to the officers to help them
recover ft and punish the offenders.
But after taking second thought they
concluded the better plan fo r them
would be to keep still about the still,
which was not still where they left it.

Chautauqua Plan Changed
Hall Is Surely Safe
J. B. Caldwell, who was here last
summer as director of the Westco or
admean Chautauqua, was in tow n
Tuesday, on Chautauqua business. Hs
had a proposition to put up to the
guarantors o f oq r 1922 Chautauqua
of the following nature:
.
If Coquille would be satisfied with
a five day season instead of a six
day, the company would send the
jame quality o f talent for the five
Jays as had been planned for the six,
the only difference being there would
be two sessions less. Then the com
pany would surrender all claim on
season tickets sold in excess o f the
guaranteed $1000 and would abrogate
that part o f the qontraot under which
they receive 75 per cent o f the gener
al admissions.
In other words the
program would be sold fo r a flat
fl.OOO and the company would re
vive no more than that under any
circumstances. In addition there will
not ,be any war tax o f $100 to pajr,|
because any excess above the $1000
and local expenses will be kept in a
Chautauqua fund or used fo r educa
tional or charitable proposes, none of
the excess going for personal profit.
Mr. Caldwell secured the signa
tures of about fifty per cent o f the
guarantors of next year’s Chautauqua
to such an agreement, to whom it ap
pears to be a much better arrangement
than did the contract originally
signed.

Tuesday hs stated that i f unclosed

throe years, th* league could continue
to operate and pay .for product at
market rates'beginning November 16.
“ We have on hand approximately.,
$46,000 o f unsold product and $60,000
in accounts receivable, or assets total
ing about $ 111 , 000 ,” explained Eld-
ridge. “ Our plants with a book valu*
o f $416,000, covered by preferred
stock, are actually overcapitalised to
an amount o f at least $250,000.
“ Our Portland plant, which is on
our books at $80,000 will soli for not
to exceed $16,000 to $ 20,000 and it
must be cold for each if wc liquidate.
The overcapitalization o f plants
purchased by the league is traced back
to the war values at which they went
held when taken over by th* league
and also to mistakes in judgment on
the part o f the appraisers.
The first effort in liquidation, it w>*
said, will be to satisfy holders o f .
preferred stock, but P-. H. Mackie, ,
