Twenty Members Chosen
Board of Directors

■ t
for
...
Geo. A. Ulett, manager of
Smith Wood-Product* company,
unanimously chosen Wednesday even­
ing, aa president of the Coquille
Chamber of Commerce for the coming
year, and in a few word*-of appre­
ciation he accepted the office.
To strengthen the support given the
president, the charter and by-laws of
the chamber were amended to pro­
vide 17 directors, who with the three
officers will comprise the board of
directors. Heretofore the board has
consisted of ten. Under th* new plan,
every type of business in the city ha*
representation on the board and it
is felt that the chamber will thus be
kept in closer touch with all its mem­
bers.
Another important change* in the
Chamber of Commerce program was
the setting of the second Wednesday
in November aa the date for holding
the annual meeting and election of
officers.
Both these action* were recom­
mended by the retiring , president,
Wm. A. Zosel.
Robert. L. Stewart, a* vice presi­
dent, and W. 8. Sickels, a* treasurer,
were unanimoustly re-elected.
The seventeen directors elected are
Wm. A. Zosel, C. E. Niles, Geo. R.
Dickinson, E. D. Webb, J. R. Bunch,
R. T. Slater, J. P. Beyer*, F. W. Mar­
tin, A. B. McLeod, J. E. Norton, J. A.
Lamb, O. C. Sanford, J. L Stevens,
J. L Smith, C. W. Gano, Lyman Car­
rier and H. A. Young. Bix officers
and director* will constitute • quo-
rum.
Ono of the point* brought out in
Mr. Zosel’* report on the year** ac­
tivities was that it had been hi*
steadfast policy thrdugbout th* year
not to encourage anyone to come here
who was seeking a job. And letters
The annual report of Treasurer

1931, showed cash on hand and re­

leaving a balance on hand of 8106.54.
The business of the session wa* in­
terspersed with music by the ladies’
sextette and wa* a most pleasant
feature of the selsion. Accompanied
by Mrs. M. O. Hawkins, the vocalists,
Mrs. E. A. Woodyard, Mrs. Lyman
Carrier, Mrs. P. W. Walker, Mrs. Geo.
R. Johnson, Mr*. Jno. L. Aasen and

To Deliver 25 Million Feet
Roy Garrett, of Myrtle Point, was
a Coquille visitor Monday, and gave
out some information which is good
news to Coos county, and may bene­
fit this immediate section if th* tim­
ber is to b* sawed at the Evans cut­
up plant at Cedar Point.
Operating a fleet of 60 truck* th*
logging firm of Laird A Garrett ex­
pect to bring 26 million feet of cedar
out of the upper Rock creek country,
where they were gutting ready to log
last year, and. the logs are to b*
dumped into the 'river at Myrtle Point.
It will require approximately 150 men
for camp and transportation. It is

ESTIMATES THE
LOSS AT $622
G. E. Trott reported to Lewi* Eng­
lish, local police officer, Tuesday
morning that 8622.76 worth of syrup«,
malts, empty barrel*, flask* and bot­
tle, grape juice, ginger ale, drinking
straw* and bottle cape, had been stol­
en from the Coos Bay Bottling Works,
on Front street here, some time the
night before.
A hole had been cut in the wire cov­
ering the back end of the shed at the
rear oi hi* building and Mr. Trott
stated the door to this shed was stand­
ing partly open when he discovered
his loss.
The sheriff’s office was notified and
during the day the officers found some
of the malt under a pile of lumber
just west of the highway, and almost
directly across th* railroad track
from the Coquille Lumber Co. mill of­
fice. Near beer wae found under
blackberry vines in the same vicinity,
while several empty bottles were
found on the lumber pffe.
When Marshal
Howdll was in­
formed of the rctobery, Tuesday ev­
ening, he stated that he had made
trips along the rear of the buildings,
between Front street and the railroad,
every half hour aW night, and that
he always flashed his light on the lock
of the back door at the bottling
wort*. When he made his last trip
at 6:40 a. m. the lock had not been
tampered with, and at 3:20 he ww
accompanied by a local man who will
bear the marshal out that the lock
had. not been molested.
Four dozen empty soft drink bot­
tles, which Mr. Trott is positive were
not there the night before, had been
set up on cases where the robbers
had evidently enjoyed a few drink*
between act* while carrying out the
several hundred
pounds of stuff,
enough to fill a truck.
Before giving up the case the of­
ficers notified Mr. Trott where the
— tt of bottled goods were hidden,
and his men took them back to the
plant.
Enjoyed Coon Climate
Cheater L Ward, who ia to be su­
perintendent of schools here next
year, was a Coquille visitor last Sat­
urday, accompanied by Mr*. Ward.
They arrived Friday night and left
for Hubbard Sunday. He did not care
to »ay anything for publication at thi*
time, but did comemnt on the balmy,
spring-like weather they encountered
as soon as they crossed Camas moun­
tain, it being quite different from the
cold and »now of th* Willamette val­
ley when they left. He did say, too,
that the Sentinel had been misin­
formed as to hi* stay in Hubbadr,
which is about 20 mile* north of Sa­
lem. Thi* was hi* first year as su­
perintendent there, instead of hi*

Geo. A. Ulett and Ralph L. Smith
arrived here Tuesday evening, hav­

which they left on Wednesday of last
week. They came the southern route,
through Texas, New Mexico and Art-
son* and spent Sunday in San Diego.
Mr. Ulett say* he did not find

no­
ticeable extent from what they were
when he was east a year ago, but he
did note the absence of bread lines
which were so much in evidence in
January last year. He thought pos­

cheering news to learn that orders
already booked for the battery sep­
arator plant will keep them running
for several months and it is not con­
templated that the p.ntft will have
to shut down this year. With their
«astern connection* and line-up the
company ia practically certain to be
in steady operation all year.
Th* saw mill at th* plant is *1*0
running daily, only having been closed
down for two days, due to high water,
and this branch of the business gives
promise of continuous operation.
Coquille is, indeed, fortunate in
having a plant like the Smith mill,
employing around 100 people, and
providing by far the largest pay roll
in town, which wa* kept going
throughout 1931 and with so fine pros­
pects for the same record in 1982.
Dentists Here Last Evening
The monthly dinner seaaion of th*
Coo* County Dental Aseociatton, of
which Dr. C. A. Rietman ia presi­
dent and Dr. Jaa. R. Bunch, secretary,
was held at the Coquille Hotel laat
evening, with sixteen in attendance.
The busines* of the session dealt
only with matters pertaining to the
craft and wa* not of a nature in which
the public is interested.
Those present were: Dr. K. K.

Mayor Berg announced at the city
council 'session Monday evening that
Mrs. Lucille Walker had been named
as member of the Library Board to
succeed Mrs. C..V. Smith, who resides
outside the city.
The report of O. C. Sanford, treas­
urer of the Library Board, for the six
months from July 1 to Jan. 1,„showed
receipt* of 830 donated by the Legion *
Auxiliary, 849.70 by the
Woamn’s
Club, and book fine* and monthly pay­
ment* by the city, altogether totalling
81,310.66.
Expenses for the period
were 81,084.30, leaving a balance on
hand of 8276.26.
It was ordered that the property
owner* on Holly street, between Elev­
enth and Bush, in the north part of
town, be instructed to repair broken
wooden sidewalk* at once. The city
engineer reported a doaen holes in
the walk* in two block*.
Mr. Stacer reported that eleven •
posts with red light danger signals
would be installed at dead street ends,
or at gulch danger points, by the end
of the week.
The Southwestern Motor Co. peti­
tion was granted, authorising the in­
stallation of a gas pump inside the
rear door of the company'* garage.
The gas tank will be buried in the
parking outside the sidewalk.
A rooming house license was grant­
ed Mrs. C. A. Machon for the Tourist
Hotel and an eating house license to
Mr*. Grace Donaldson for the res­
taurant in the Jones building. Kirk
Shelley ia surety on her bond.
Pool and card room licenses were
granted Davis A Reynolds, with J. E.
Norton and Drue Cunningham a*
sureties on their bond, and to W. H.
Fortier, with Keith Leslie and C. A.
Machon a* sureties.
A letter from the State Accident
Commission, notifying the city that
•ompensation would not be paid to
firemen who might be injured at fires
outside the eity, was read.
Thi*
brought up the question what the
city’s liability would be for the burn­
ing of a building in Coquille, while
the department happened to be fight­
ing a fire outside the city.
City Attorney Corby gave a* hi*
opinion that the city would be no
more liable than it would if two fire*
broke out in different part* of town
at the same time.
It was further pointed out that
only the chemical truck was taken
outside th* city, the hose truck re­
maining in the city hall, and that all
the firemen did not go to outaide fires,
thus insuring protection in town at
all time«.
The city recorder was asked to
write for a schedule of accident com­
mission rates which would cover the
firemen who might be injured while
on duty outside the city.
Fir* Chief Gardner informed th*
council that the organization of a
rural fire department had not been
given up, that the farmers and ranch­
er* were nearly 100 per cent for it,
•
and that he expected to carry on the
organisation plans in the near future.
