Officer« for the coming year were chosen, E. L. DetieCssn being re elected president; 8. D. Fulford and Jea. .NUsen, vice presi touts; ft. G. Opperman, sm e ltery frreaa unr. A motion that the League go on record as favoring the sales tax and that it make a fight for its adoption, w»s carried by a three to one vote. , Jack Lefevre made the principal talk of the evening, devoting much of the time to an attack on public util ity monopolies, mainly the power company, but his call for a c.how of hands of those who were willing to give moral support to himself snd his associates in developing hydro-elec tric power in Coos and Curry coun ties, did not strike a popular chord for no one showed a hand. Thia la Clean-up Week This week, April 10 to 14, is Na tional Clean-Up Week and while not starting on the first date the event is to be co-operated in by Coquille for today and tomorrow.

To Honor OWest Mason The Port Orford Masonic Lodge has completed arrangements to take care of the largest crowd of Masonic mem bers over assembled at one time in the history of Southwestern Oregon on Saturday, April 14th, at 8:30 p. m. Communications have been received from lodges all over the state signi fying their intention of having their lodge well represented at this gath ering. The members of the Curry county lodges are joining with the Port Orford lodge to make this a red- letter day in the history of big gath erings in the county. There’s One in Coon County Ray Gill, state grange master, has said that there is only one school in Oregon closed because of lack of funds. If so that school is in Coos county. The Bancroft school was opened yeaterday after being closed since December for that reason. FERA funds permit its re-opening. But that statement is like so many of Gill's in his opposition to the sales tax—they cannot be depended upon. The ladies of the Episcopal Guild will serve a potluck dinner in the Parish House st 12 o’clock next Wed nesday, April 18. Everyone is invited to oome there for the noon meal. 25 seats per plate. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in the hotel Tuesday noon, J. E. Norton reported having received a letter from W. H. Lynch, head of the Bureau of Public Roads for Ore gon, that contracts have been let for the finishing of the oiling on the Coast Highway and that when settled weather is assured the oiling crews move on to the jobs. The first to be done will be on the Florence sec tion in Lane county, after which the 16 to 18 fillies below Port Orford will be oiled. He stated that it would all be completed by early summer. Mr. Norton also reported on the potato meeting held kst week. While no date was set for another meeting, the Coquille Chamber of Commerce is definitely pledged to a policy of "home-market for home grown product«,” and another meet ing will be held in the near future. When that is done a definite pro gram for organizing a potato grow ers’ association for Coos county should be ready to submit. From an association point of view its aims should be to concentrate on not more than two varieties to be grown in the’ county; to see that all potatoes oold by ita members were graded accord ing to U. S. specifications; that the sacks were properly marked with the grade and with the owner’s name. A brand for the association should be adopted which will come to mean ev erything to the consumer, so that she will know when a potato is sold under the Coos brand that its uniformity and quality can be depended upon. This program cannot be acc >m- plished in a month, nor possibly a year, but it is the moat worth-while ¡activity the Coquille Chamber has ¡Undertaken in some time. V. F. W. Ponta Here Last Night for Coos River, Pearl Nash will give “The Bear Story;” the entry for East- side-Cooston has not yet been report ed, nor has the entry from Bunker Hill.
