v: The Coquille Valley Sentinel VOL. XXVIII. COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, READY TO DRILL E. Marrion, president of the Coast OU Co, returned Monday ev- ening from his two or throe weeks' trip to southern California with the good news that the casing, drilling equipment and everything else need ed for the completion of the weH and its control when it is brought in, is on the boat which left San Pedro the first of the week and is due in Coos Bay tomorrow or Sunday. AH Nor is this all he reports. leases which have delayed resumption of activity at tbs well am now in hand. And more important yet to the operation by the company is the feet financial arrangements have been completed which will insure that the wen will be drilled continuously until production is brought in. Mr. Marrion also made contact with independent operators in the south which insures that as soon as first well proves the claims that in an oil Arid, drilling of others win be started very quickly. Naturally Mr. Marrion does not care to give complete details of all he lined up on his trip south, but his aasursnee that an is in readiness to develop the field, if and when it is proved, is most satisfying. Nor is the word “if” used in a doubtful sense. There is no question about there being oH in the 1600-foot bore; the only undetermined point is as to how large a pool there is. And Mr. Marrion and J. Ellis Loreman, the geologist, are as quietly confident that good production will be struck as they are that the hole is down 1600 feet. Work was resumed at the camp on Wednesday. An office building and another structure for employee accom modation are to be built nt once. The wantar tank and pipe line are being! instriled, and the boring through the 80-foot concrete plub at the bottom of the bore will be started quickly. Early next week it io expected that actual drilling in new ground will be 32 Ton« of Pena Shipped Including the seven tons of pose shipped out from here last evening, a total of >2 tons from the Tway, Ford and Russ ranches, have been shipped to the Ray-MaHng plant at HiHdboro, for quick freeiing. The peak of the picking season is expected to be reached during the next two weeks. Around 140 to 150 pickers have been engaged this week in harvesting the crop, and there will bo more next week. But that is no inducement for outsiders to come in looking for Jobe, for there approximately 800 on the waiting lists of the growers. Inexperience on the part of the pickers, and the fact that the peas have not come yet to full bearing has kept the earnings of the pickers down to an average of »1.00 to »1.10 a day, but it should increase to »1.50 next week, with experienced pickers able to gather better than 200 pounds a day. The pries paid is 65 cents a hundred pounds, with a 10* cents bonus per 100 to those who stay for the season. Comic Section Commended The comic section which started in the Sentinel last Friday is to be a regular feature in the future. Massy favorable comments on this new ad dition to the Sentinel’s feature items have been expressed, and the fact that each of the eight cornice has not appeared in print--previoualy makes them of first importance. The list includes Mutt and Jeff. S’Matter Pop, Folks. Little Stanley, Simp O’Dill, and The Nobbs. Attention is also called to the sev enteen business houses whose co operation with advertisements in thia section make its publication pos sible. Those advertisers are Rack- leff’s Pharmacy, City Cleaners A Tailors, Nosier Beauty Shop, P. W. Walker Hardware, Cream O’Coos Ice Cream, Hooton’s Electric Shop, Schroeder’s Jewelry Store, Geo. F. Burr Motor Co., C. L. Willey Plumb ing, Cow Bell Dairy, Coquille Laun dry, Farr A Elwood, Patrician Beauty Shop, Hudson’s Drug Store, Taylor’s Battery and Service Station, J. S. Barton Insurance, and Slater’s Va riety Store. Marshal Lewis English, who was being assisted in the search by War ren Hersog and Rosa Ricketts, found the sack containing • »35.60, which Fred McNair took from Mr. Hersog at the point of a gun last Thursday night, under a stump in front of Ells worth Willett’s home, last Friday, Just before noon. With this clinching piece dence the youthful hold-up that the jig was up, but it not until twelve hours later he “came through” and admitted that he did the deed. But in his confes sion he claimed that he and he alone was responsible for the robbery, that the other two boys arrested were not implicated in any way and knew nothing of it beforehand. This, however, does not alter the fact that it was Clifford Judd’s .38 revolver, which the latter had pur chased from Willett, which was used in the hold-up. Nor does It change the fact that the three boys were in conference last Thursday on the street, and that the tip received by the sheriff’s office was that McNair wae going to use Judd’s gun at mid night. The fact that Hersog locked up an hour early wu all that prevent ed the officers from being on the spot when the stunt was pulled. Nor is any member of the sheriff’s office making an apology to Judd and Willett for taking them into custody when they found them in company with an embryo footpad. With McNair’s exhoneration of the pair, there was nothing for the officers to do but release them. In making his confession McNair expressed himself as ready to go be fore Judge Brand today, plead guilty and receive his sentence..

FLOWER SHOW A FINE SUCCESS LOG OF FIRST LEG Geo. H. Chaney Reporte on “Marguerite*«” Southern Trip as Far as San Francisco n Geo. H. Chaney, owner of the “Marguerite,’* which left Bandon on. Aug. 4, arrived home Wednesday, coming up by rail from Loa Angeles. The “Marguerite" reached San Fran cisco, Aug. 12, and left there for San Pedro on the 15th, making the Loo Angeles port on Aug. 19. just five days on the second leg of the trip. Yesterday Mr. Chaney brought to the Sentinel the following tog of the first part of the trip south which we are sure our readers will find as in teresting as we did. We hope Mr. Chaney will furnish another article for next week on the remainder of the Marguerite's maiden cruise: Here follows a short description of the cruise of the sailing yacht, “Mar guerite," from Bandon to Ban Pedro during part of August just past. We cast off hawuer from the tug, Klyham, near the Whistler Buoy about three miles off the mouth of the Coquille river. There was a brisk breose and somewhat more than an average sea running. Two ef our crew of tour were seasick shortly ov er the bar. They stood their regular watches, but the cook could not cook, feeling better on deck, so the deck hand and cook shifted berths. Below decks was in confusion with supplies of all kinds, personal effects and other impedimenta churned up together. Standing rigging worked slack very shortly. This condition and ignorance as to what sail the boat would .itand decided against hoisting mainsail ex cept for an hour the first day. We were abreast the Blanco Light about midnight the fourth of August. Very little wind, a short, choppy that gave us a good shaking up during the night, good visibility.

We posted an achor watch and I roused at midnight to find a fresh breeso Mooring from southwest. (Continued on sixth page) Coquille’s Glad and Dahlia Show is over but J think the memory of those beautiful Bowens shown test Saturday will remain with everyone for many days to come. Thst the show waa ap preciated was plain to be seen when one took a look at the registration book, there being 556 registered, while there were probably many who did not. There were visitor» from all over the United States and many wore the expressions of astonishment at the sine of flower and length of stem on our glads and lilies. One group of California people that I talked with wanted cultural directions, seeming to think that we used some particular method unknown to anyone else.
