the United States for chickens.

the Morris brothers were given 30

The complaints were signed by men
from the sheriff’s office. The accused
are said to have sold liquor to officers.

What Powi
Co. Has Done
A. L. Martin, Coos Bay manager of
the Mountain States Power Co., gives
the Sentinel the following statement
of what that company has done the
past year, and the suggestion of what
they purpose doing during 1924 will
make a very interesting story, when
told in full:
One of the big problems confront­
ing a public utility company doing
business in a growing community is
to keep up with the growth of the
During the past year
community.
this Company has had to exert its
best efforts in keeping strida with the
cities served by it with gas and elec­
tric service. One of the largest prob­
lems to deal with is the securing of
new capital to carry on the extension
of service, the increasing of power
plant capacity, the enlargement of
transmission and distributing lines,
and sub-station equipment.
During the year just coming to a
dose this Company has spent about
*300,000 in thia work, 1200,000 of this
has gone into plant extensions and
improvements, and 3100,000 has been
put into substation and line extensions
and improvements. Lines have been
built and services run to supply ser­
vice to' over 800 new customers and
over 2,0000 H. P. in motors has been
connected to our lines, and it has been
necessary to re-build many of our
lines where the business has.outgrown
their capacity. Using our very best
efforts in this work we realize that
our service has not been up to a stand­
ard we would like for it to be and we
expect that in the next twelve months
we will spend more than double the
amount that we have spent in the last
year. »We are not sparing money, en­
gineering skill or work to keep a
pace with our communities and we
trust it will be understood thak any
inconveniences that we may cause our
customers is very* much regretted
by us, and we wish
to assure
them that in the future as in the past,
we will do our utmost to serve the ter­
ritory in which we are operating.

Fines imposed by Justice Joehnk on

Wednesday night for the sale of liquor
