Coon county a 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: Southwestern Oregon's generation- old dream of coal development ma terialised today in an announcement uy Charles Peter, general manager, i>f a $2,000,000 incorporation of the Coos Bay Carbonizing and Briquet ring company, an Oregon corporation, and a statement that definite location 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 worth. 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.
