The Coquille Valley Sei^inel THE PAPER THAT’S LIKE A LETTER FROM HOME VOL. XXIX. NO. 28. COQ UILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, » III DAY, JULY 3«, 1933. $2.0« THE YEAR ———■ mm — y FALLS TO DEATH Wiliis Oddy Knocked from Trestle by Cable Above Powers Yesterday Willis Oddy, a resident of Coquille and vicinity for nearly 50 years, and a brother of County Clerk L. W. Oddy, was almost instantly killed, twelve miles above Powers, yesterday afternoon. A flying line or cable hit him on the forehead, knocking him from the trestle on which he was working and he fell through the ' trestle, striking -on several timbers before reaching the bottom of the ra vine, 50 or more feet below. His son-in-law, Gordon Epps, who was working with him, did not see the cable hit Mr. Oddy, but was first at- tracted by the shout of the engineer on the pile driver. ( A wide and deep gash near the crown of his head showed where the blow which fractured his skull oc- curred. * He was placed on a hand car at once and started for Powers where an ambulance awaited, but he died before reaching the hospital at Myr tle Point. Mr. Oddy had recently returned from Ashland where he had been at work, and was employed by the Coos Bay Lumber Co. on the pile driver in the extension of their logging road in the Eden valley section. Funeral service will be held at the chapel here tomorrow (Saturday), at 2 p. m., conducted by T. B. MacDon ald, of the Christian church. Inter ment will be in the Masonic cemetery. Henry Willis Oddy was born at Norway, October 20, 1885, and was 47 yeans, nine months and seven days of age. He was the son of Wililam and Ellen Oddy. On July 25, 1910, he was united in marriage to Miss Ealie Tennison here in Coquille. Two chil dren were born to this union, a son, Harold, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Eppa-TT7- This tragic demise of one who was League Leadership at Stake Co. Canning Plant to Operate Either the Klamath Falls Pelicans or the Coquille Loggers will lead the procession at the head of the South ern Oregon League after next Sun day’s game which will be played in Athletic Park here. Each club has won six and lost two games, and it is a little odd that these teams should meet for this crucial game at this time. It is probable, though not positive, that the Sunday winner will win the pennant. Just one more Sun day on the schedule when Coquille plays at Roseburg and Medford at Klamath Falls. Roseburg, which has won five and lost three has an out side chance to-tie for the bunting. Manager Fortier will have bis full strength in the game Sunday and “Frisco” Edwards will not be over looking any opportunity to take this game which will start at 2 o’clock. Coos county will operate its can ning plant at the .county farm this season for the beneifit of producers of farm and garden crops. Meats, fish, and fruits will also be handled. Except far unshelled peas, one-half of the canned products will be return ed to the owner, Coos county keeping the other half in return for furnish ing all labor, cans and cooking. , l ots of vegetables, fruits, or other produce will be received, providing that fhey are sufficient for one-half day’s run of the canning plant. No produce will be received on Saturday« or Sundays. * Smith Plant to Build One With Voters Turn Thumbs Down on Double Capacity—Modern Measure—Oregon Votes Machinery for Repeal Al COOS RIVER Smith-Hughes State Convention ’ Will Be Held There Next Week Another improvement and enlarge To Arago goes the honor of casting Coos-county will be host to the ment will be started .at the Smith the largest dry vote among the 60 fourteenth Annual Conference of in- ■ Wood Products plant here when an I precincts in Coos county, figured on structors of Smith-Hughes agricultur engineer arrives from Portland next a percentage basis.
