There is no inoculation. When the microbe begins to function you Just taka it on the chin—and like it All of which means that Coquille will have baseball this summer and that grand old patriarch of the na tional pastime, Bill Fortier, with whiskers, crutches, spavins and char- ley-horea, is getting ready to don the spangles and lead the Loggers through another successful season. It takes coin of the realm to pro duce a good brand of baseball, and Mr. Fortier announces that within a week or two he will call on the busi ness men of Coquille for contribu tions toward this year’s expenses— outfitting the team, balls, bate, etc. Don’t give him the glassy eye when he solicits you. The true bug must have his baseball er life isn’t worth living. Eight prominent local men were named to executive posts on the Co quille Loggers baseball team at a meeting of players and fans last Fri day evening in the Machon hall. They were: J. E. Norton, president; Keith Leslie, secretary-treasurer; and L. H. Hazard, Lloyd Clever, O. L. Wood, Pete Miller, Ray Jeub, George Burr and Lafe Compton, members of the board of directors. At the gathering Bill Fortier, man ager of the local team since 1924, an nounced that he would willingly pilot the club again this season on condi tion the the player agree to work with him co-operatively. The gener al sentiment favored thia one hundred per cent, so Coquille can expect to have a major league aggregation on the local diamond this summer. Plans now are for aa independent team, one which will meet outfits from up ant down the coast, from southern Oregon, from the Willamette Valley and, poesfcly, from Portland. Th the event that other Coos county clubs are organise], those will also be met. Toledo, Oregon, has already inquired about the poesibHftieo of a home and home, two-game series, desiring that the Loggers journey up the coast to open up their season. This season the Loggers will be docked out in flashy new uniforms with a possibility that a sponsor’s name will be placed on the back of each shirt. In any event the Coquille team is going to he a good-looking, aa well as a good playing, team and when it is thoroughly realised how much baseball has advertised Coquille in the past few years local people ap preciate the fact that the boys play the game. Paulson Selk Six MilHon J. E. Paulson, who has owned ap proximately six million feet of tim ber, about six per cent of which is fir and the balance spruce, in the Lake Tahkenitch section, has deals in the making for the sale of the tim ber this summer. He will contract the logging, the fir going to Reedsport and the spruce to a North Bend plant. Farm Rate Only 3'/« Per Cent E. J.
