That was th* voice of our own President.” Admitting that he had himself sometimes eonfplai.nc J about Mr. Hoover and that if he would come over some day and sit down with him he would have Home bones to pick with him, he added: “But when all the bonoe are picked bare and all my grievances are aired, and I am wav'ng my hand farewell to him as ho c'.imba aboard the four o’clock to resume this th an Wens grind at Washington I’ll still »ay: ‘There goes the only towerin'; leadership this world debacle has ¿¿"•ebped.” “AND NOBODY ASKED HIM TO BUY" There ia another thought in con nection with th* *bove.

But if you fail to advertise and iavite their attention, you miss the first important bet. There ia a powerful answer to the man who ia complaining of poor ba*i- ne»s, in the following story.

COOS HELPED PAT Ex-County Judge R. H. Mast call* to the Sentinel’s attention a matter in regard to building state highways that has been overlooked in asking work on Coos county highways by th* state highway department The Pacific highway was built en tirely with state funds, the countie* only being asked to provide th* right* of way. And now the state is bear ing all the expense of resurfacing with non-skid covering, these earlier concrete or asphalt pavements. In Coos county' a different policy was adopted. The county participat ed in the cost of constructing the highways, to the extent of 50 per cent. The river bridge at Coquille cost this county 50 per cent, a* did the concrete paving between Coquille and Marshfield. True, the state ha* re-surfaced the sections of the highway from here to Roseburg, and from here south through Bendon, entirely at state ex pense, but in the pioneer road build ing Coos county paid it* half. A claim for a refund now of what was spent In the early days of good roads building by the county would not receive any Wte ide ration, but the state highway commission in its re pair and resurfacing program, and its realigning of the Coquille-Marwh- field highway, should recall our earl ier heavy expenditures, and bond voting, and not allow our need* h«re MflCMflRR STORES ito Try our delivery service—Free on all sized orders twice daily. 10 a. m.—3 p. m. Phone 166 Th* tension of the state highway commission here last Thursday took on the appearance of a legislative session with delegate* from every section of th* state crowding the legislative chamber and milling about the lobbies of the capital building. Th* expected “dynamite,” however, failed to materialize. Delegation* from southern and eastern Oregon here for the avowed purpose of pro testing against the “short cut” high way program because of its interfer ence with some other road project stifled their protects before they were uttered. Thia unexpected turn of sentiment can-be accounted for only in one way. Evidently the program proposed by Commissioner C. K Spaulding provided oil necessary to smooth the troubled waters. Spaulding’s program as placed be fore th* commission for ft* consider ation call* for the improvement of th* Burns-Ontario highway at a coat of approximately 11,000,000; the ex penditure of approximately the earn* amount on the improvement of the Freemont highway and th* Klamath FnlboLakeview highway in southern Oregon; widening of the Salem—Ore gon City section of the Pacific high way to a throe-lane artery, and con struction of two “abort cut” high way* between Portland and the coast The program waa well calculated to cover all sections of the state and to appease those section* which were showing opposition to the “short cut” roads. > Coos county’s share of th* quarter ly apportionment of automible rogb- tration funds, as announced by Sec retary of State Hose this week, amounts to 324,796.32. Th* apportion ment ia based on the county’* contri bution to the total fund during the quarter, one-third of the net receipts of the automobile department being distributed among th* counties and the other two-tbirda going to the state highway fund. Record* m the office of the secretary of state show that Coo* county motorbta have paid in a total of $81355.19 in registration and operator's fee* during th* three month period. Net receipts for the quarter totalled $3,131,54336 W whbh 31,042347.88 was dbtributod among th* counties and 32.087,695.77 placed to the credit of the state high way fund. In the quarterly apportionment' of motor transportation funds Coos county received 31,122.46 as its por tion of the 347,303.53 which was dis tributed among the roveral counties, repr.c:r.ting one-fourth of the net receipt* in thb fund for the quarter.
