To Ask for Next State Shoot
Coquille is going to make a bid for
the 1927 state shoot when the local
sportsmen are at CorvaHis next week.
At the shoot down at Medford the
first of thia week, several of those at
tending urged the Coquille contingent
to go after it, and the idea has been
favorably received when broached
here.'
It will require an outlay of |500 or
8600 to stage a shoot of that magni
tude, but the benefits cannot be over
estimated. With 400 or 500 people
here next May from all over 'the
northwest, Coquille cannot but receive
a great deal of good advertising.
The Coquille Rod 4 Gun Chib has
not had a meeting yetf to formally ex
tend an invitation to "hold next year’s
shoot here, but it will no doubt do so.
About a dozen of Coquille's crack
shots will attend the shoot next Fri
day, Saturday- and Sunday at Cor
vallis, when the location for the 1927
shoot will be decided.
If this big annual event in sporte-
men’s affairs can be brought to Co-
quille, a hearty welcome and recep-
tion is assured the visitors. .
Coquille was certainly handed a
prise package by the Southwestern
Oregon Daily News this week.
As 5B protest against the mud
slinging attacks of that newspaper,
about sixty of the prominent citisens
here, signed a protest against the
unfair tactics the News has been
using, and asked its management to
publish it.
> / _ ’
The article was printed on Wednes
day, preceded by untruthful head
lines, stating that Coos county com
munities endorse the News and its
“fair play*’ policy.
True, a hastily
prepared petition from Myrtle Point,
lauding the News, followed the one
from Coqui Me. But no one who read
the whole story could be in doubt as
to Coquille’s attitude, however, much
it was camouflaged by those past
masters of “putting it over” on their
friends.
One newspaper man, with yean of
experience in daily paper publication
—he has ho connection with the Sen
tinel—characterises it as “the worst
exhibition of newspaper chicanery I
ever saw in my life.”
It was smoothly done. You cannot
help admiring the colossal nerve of
the men who endeavor to twist and
change a condemnation into a com
mendation, and you have to admit
that the News has banded Coquille a
lemon.
Its manager, on Wednesday, told
those who presented the News with
