Open House in the Schools
Two Matters Discussed by C.
of C. Would Benefit Co­
quille Valley
Open house day will be held at the
Coquille schools on Friday, April 28th.
This year regular clasees are to be
held in all of the buildings. This
plan has been judged to be the best
as it gives the parentx^nd friends an
opportunity to see the children at
work under normal conditions.
The programs for the day are un­
der the direction of the Principals of
the various achqole. At the high
schotol parents will be given an oppor­
tunity to visit an assembly devoted to
the nomination of Student Body of­
ficers. In addition the Holme Econ­
omics department will serve tea to
the mothers. >
At the grade schools the Principals
have arranged to have all displays
and projects placed in the halls. This
has been done to preserve the natural
environment of the school room.
All patrons of the schools who are
interested in seeing the children at
Work with every day school tasks are
cordially invited to attend.

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce directors at the hotel Wed­
nesday evening, J. E. Norton discussed
at some length what the Port of Ban­
don cooenmission, of which he is
president, is endeavoring to have ac­
complished in developing the mouth
of Coquille river.
In these days of economy in public
spending the Port would not attempt
to have funds appropriated for the
work needed at Bandon, were it not
for the fact that tremendous sums are
being appropriated by congress for
public work as unemployment relief
measures, and the development of
harbors is just as important in one
way m the building of highways is
in another.
A 16-foot depth at low tide ia the
project, which has been approved by
the army engineers And for which
some funds have been budgeted. But
with the currents in the ocean con­
tinually piling up sand at the bar the
only hope of stopping thia sand bar is
by an extension of the north jetty
some 1200 or 1500 feet seaward. Such
a stone wall would stop the accumu­
lation of sand at the mouth and would
once for all permit the passage of
vessels of any size.
Since the hardpan on the bed of the
river was broken up with dynamite
and the channel dredged the depth in­
side' the bar has been maintained, and
it is only the sand accumulation out­
side that hinders boats from entering
the harbor. The average depth aA the
mouth at low tide is now about twelve
feet
What Mr. Norton asked, and what
