coal resources have long been an in
vitation for the establishment of such
a plant, and if thia one materialises
it will give more of an impetus to
business improvement in ths^ south
west Oregon empire than most people
realize.
As the timber resources diminish,
coal mining must come to the front
as the companion of dairying in the
induetrial life of thia section.
The following announcement of the
proposed development appeared in
last Saturday's Coos Bay Times:

for a $1,200,000 Lurgi Carbonisation
process plant near Empire will be
decided within the next 80 days by
nimseK and P. H. Bootaph, consulting
engineer-
The plant will be complete and
ready for operation within another
year. It will employ approximately
100 men.
It will have a capacity of
1200 to 1600 tons of briquette daily,
a product that will vastly increase
noth rail and water tonnage from
Coos Bay. Construction of the plant
will begin shortly.
Eastern and
Southern California capital are fi
nancing the project. Peter said that
a more detailed statement in this re
gard will be made in a short time.
Articles of incorporation for the com
pany were filed early this week in
Salem by Gons,« Murphy, and Skip

Fathers & Sons to Banquet
The annual Boy Scout Father A
Son banquet ia to be held in the high
«chool auditorium at 7:00 p. m., on
Monday, March 30. But attendance is
not confined to fathers of Scouts.
There ere some Scouts who have no
father; there are some fathers who
nave no Scout son and some who have
no eon to be a Scout, but all men in-
-erested in Scouting are invited to
attend the banquet, tickets for which
will be 76 cents for two. Tickets will
be on sale next week.
In addition to the short program
prepared there will be games during
he evening, in which fathers will be
arrayed against sons.
Any funds remaining after the ex
penses of the banquet are paid will go
nto the treasury of Troop 14. The
1200 contributed to the Scout Coun
cil by the Chamber of Commerce does
not in any part go to the local troop
treasury, and it is by such means as
this banquet, the booth at the Com
Show, and by other means that money
is raised for local Scout activities.
Coleman Refereeing Not Popular
Coquille basketball fans were very
much dissatisfied with the work of
Referee Ralph Coleman last Friday
and Saturday evenings. By fans, we
are not referring to Coach Hartley,
Supt. Ferguson nor Principal Grider,
of the high school faculty. We do not
know their opinion of Coleman's re
fereeing, but the majority of the
epectators from here never want to
see him work an important tourna
ment again. Myrtle Point outplayed
Coquille Friday night and his peculiar
rulings had no effect on the result of
that game. We cannot say the same
for Saturday evening’s contest.
