COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, ORMpON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 193X NO. 32. BAGS OF GOLD That la Victoria, B. C-, Speaker’s Designation of What Tour ist Travel Means Herbert Anseomb, mayor of Vic toria, B. C, and manager of the Vic toria and island Publicity Bureau, gave one of the moat meaty, interest ing and good common sense talks at the hotel Wednesday evening that has ever been heard in Coquille. This writer is not alone in that statement. It is the expressed opinion of all who heard him that he packed more thought and well delivered expres sion into his half hour talk than any silver-tongued orator ever to address a Coos county audience. Preceding the talks by the visitors from the north, two voice pupils of Mrs. E. A. Woodyard, Anne Barton and Gue Gallas, rendered two num bers In a very pleasing way which were appreciated by the diners. Geo. A. Ulett, as president of the Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the visitors from Victoria, North Bend,1 Marshfield and Myrtle Point and asked Ed Miller, of the Coast High way Association, to introduce the speakers. In his opening remarks Mr. Miller stated that Victoria waa the first city to «pend money for newspaper and magazine publicity and that it was found so profitable a means of at tracting tourists that now the provin cial government annually spends 125,000 in maintaining the publicity bureau, and that it is an item of the governmerttal budget. He referred to Oregon as having been backward in publicising the wonderful attrac tions of the state, and particularly the Pacific littoral. He first introduced Geo. I. War ren, national president of the Cana dian Association of Publicity Bu reaus, and president of the Victoria burton. Every province, every city in Canada has its publicity bureau, Mr. Warren stated, and seme years ago they formed the national aaso- eition whose major project ia to se cure a surfaced highway from the ' Atlantic to the Pacific across Canada. At the present time there is a stretch ' of hundreds of miles where the high ways from east and «rest do not con nect, requiring a detour down into the ' United States. Mr. Warren refereed with high ‘ praise to Oregon’s development of the Coast Highway, the No. 101, down 1 which they had travelled Wednesday, and which he referred to as one of the greatest highways he had ever seen. But they, of Victoria, felt that , they were the northern terminus of (Continued on eighth page.)

Chaney, skipper of the “Marguerite,” waa re ceived last Friday afternoon that they had reached San Francisco that morn ing, the eighth day after leaving Ban don. The yacht behaved very well and shipped no water except what slithered over from the tops of the waves. Herman Ellingaen suffered from mal de mer for four day«, but in letters «rritten from the bay re gion, Mr. Chaney says that neither of the boys missed standing their watch, although both were indisposed. In a letter to Mrs. Chaney ho stated that ho waa leaving Monday for San Pedro, expecting to take two weeka for a leisurely cruise, but had no plans beyond that ■He spent Sunday «rith hia son, George Jr., who has been at Camp bell, Calif., «rith his grandmother. The youngster is not yet able to be up, but the doctor who is treating him stated that a year’s cruise in the warm southern climate would proba bly be more beneficial than anything else that Mr. Chaney could do for him.

Briefly the plan con , templates borrowing from the fed eral government two and a half mil ' lions which «rill be repaid in part from the toll returns. The idea is for a 25 cent charge flor automobiles, and commutation tickets at a lower figure for those living in the vicinity of any bridge. Ed Miller, Coast Highway Association manager, stated he had promised to secure for the State Highway Commission the re action of the communities along the highway to the proposal. Mr. Miller further stated that both North Bend and Marshfield chambers of commerce had agreed to a site across Coos Bay provided it was found to conform to the engi- neers’ requirements. Otherwise it «rill be left to the highway engineers for location. Mr. Miller also reported on high way checking. To the south, one out of every throe caro was from outside Oregon and to the north it averaged one out of a little lees than three. Dr. Ralph Milne and E. 0. Sempert, of Powers, and J. E. Norton, of Co- quille, were named as a committee to meet with the Bureau of Public Roads representative, to be here from Port land early in September, and to at tempt to have the State Highway Oommission place the proposed Pow ers-Grant Paas road on the state road program.

There was full representation from all six towns in the county. Is Cause for Libel Suit If District Atorney Wm. E.
