COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1931
VOL. XXX.
s-
Seized on Highway Below Ban­
don Monday—Three Bound
Over td Grand Jury
Last Monday our officers received
word by ’phone from the south that
three men, in an auto were headed
north with a load of liquor in viola­
tion of the new Knox law.
Officers
Cornell and Tucker went down the
coast highway and apprehended these
men about two miles south of Bandon
and brought them to Coquille and
next day filed charges against them
for unlawful transportation of intox­
icating liquor. . .
The men gave their names as Leo
F. Hiclw, Harold G. Porter and Nels
Rosengren and said t-hny were from
Crescent City, Cslifornia. They stat­
ed that Rcsengren owned the liquor,
Hicks the auto and that Porter was
just a passenger. Hicks and Rosen­
gren waived
examination
when
brought before Justice Stanley on
Tuesday, but Porter demanded a hear­
ing, which was held Wednesday, with
District Atorney Ben Flaxel for the
State, the defendant having no attor­
ney.
Officer Cornell had taken a written
statement from Hicks the name eve­
ning of the arrest snd this was pro­
duced Wednesday at the hearing;
this statement and the story told by
the men on the stand did not corres­
pond; Rosengren admitted being so
drunk when in Gold Beach that he did
not know what happened there, al­
though it was reported they had sold
a considerable quantity of their liquor
there.
The Court decided their
stories told on the witness stand were
not very reliable, so an order was
made holding Porter to the grand jury
with the other two, and their bail was
set at five hundred dollars each.
They had two glass gallon juga
and a number of ten gallon milk cana;
the milk cans contained a sort of se­
cret compartment wherein they car­
ried alcohol, and the two glass jugs
also had filflohol
Thio is the first ewe
tir the new
law which haa been brought in this
county, but the officers believe they
are clearly within the law and will
procure a conviction. In fact, Hicks
shd ILosengren have intimated that
they would plead guilty.
Justice’s
courts do not have jurisdiction under
this law to try such cases, other than
by a preliminary hearing to determine
whether the accused should be held
to the grand jury.
Asleep With the Tulips
“Must 1 be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others-fight to win the prise
And sail m'dst bloody seas?”
Thi«e sang Pat Sullivan, of Cres­
cent City, as he calmly went to sleep
in J. J. Stanley’« tulip bed last Mon­
day evening, after wantonly destroy­
ing flowers and flower beds in the
yards of Mr. Stanley, Geo. O. Leach
and D. C. Krantz. He was inebriated.
The officers were sumoned about
10:30 that night and he was taken
before Justice Stanley the next
morning, where he pleaded guilty and
was fined 825 and costa.
Pat Geaney came before the court,
paid the costs and asked to be given
the custody of the offender and said
he would guarantee payment of the
fine and damage« within thirty day«.
Mr. Geaney and the unlucky man are
from the same community in “Auld
Ireland,” which accounts for Mr.
Geaney's interest in the matter.

Oregon Products Week, 20-28
Registration Nearly 14,000
The stats of Oregon is not one of
a large manufacturing production,
aside from lumber, but the idea of
Oregon Association of Manufacturers
in designating the week of April 20
to 28 as Oregon Products Week is a
good one. If the people of this state­
can be made Oregon conscious, with a
determination to boost the state, its
rsuources and production to the limit,
it will accomplish wonders in at­
tracting tliose who are ueeking new
homro or locations from othei sec­
tion«.
On page seven of this issue appears
a page adv. of Oregon-made products,
which appears in 72 newspapers of
the state this week. Tie-tn advertise­
ments also appear of local merchant»
who «ell the product advertised by the
manufacturers in the center panel.
It will help you to know your Ore­
gon to look over the names mentioned
on page seven.
With cards from two precincts—
Bridge and Dora—«till not in at Coun­
ty Clerk Oddy’s office this morning,
the total registration for the other 58
precincts in Coos county stands at
13,425, which is 900 more than it was
at the time of the special election in
July, 1933.
Of this 13,425, there are 378 scat­
tering, 7589 republicans and . 5458
democrats.
This is an increase of
only two republicans over last year,
and of 865 in the democratic column.
Just how much of the change in reg­
istration was from the republican to
the democratic party has not yet been
totalled in the clerk’» office,
~
but there
have been a few hundred, besides
those who were not heretofore regis-
tered.
The vrestest change in party af-
Aliatk ra, was in the three Coquille
precinct«, due no doubt to the contest
for sheriff now being waged before
he primaries.

democratic nomination for governor,

It’s a Nice Looking Home
It is well worth a trip down to the
shake-built house, half a mile south
of the Westmont golf course at Ban­
don, to see the kind of a place John
Dorna th A Sons have there.
The
houae is not yet completed, but is
nearly so, and it ia a striking illus­
tration of what can be done with ma
chine-made shakes.
Not everyone
would care for the various colon
used, nor is the ornate decorating
necessa -y for a beach cottage, but the
many ways in which the shakes can
be uaed make them the ideal material
for a summer home, or in fact for a
home of any kind, anywhere.
Mr. Domath had to carve his place
out of the wilderness, for it was a
I
dense jungle when he started opera­
tions and he now has a very com­
fortable homo nearly finished.

Tentative Plans Adopted at For State and District Office«
Whose Names Will Be On
Portland Last Week, Re­
the Primary Ballot
ported by County Agent
The tentative dairy production con­
trol program as outlined by the dairy
section of the Agricultural Adjust­
ment Administration at the regional
meeting held in Portland last week
was endorsed with certain minor
changes by a vote, limited to produc­
ing dairymen, of 106 for and 17
against the program, according to
E. L. Detlefsen, of Ccquille, who at­
tended this meeting as a member of
the state production control commit?
tee.
Recomemndationa in the Portland
meeting provide for a higher compen­
satory tax on oleomargarine intended
to prevtnt a shift from the use of but­
ter to substitutes.
Mr. Detlefsen serve! with three
other dairymen from Oregon, five
from Washington and two from Ida-
so, a« a member of the resolution
committee which drew up the pro­
gram endorsed later by the dairymen
attending the meeting.
A diacuarion of the dairy problem
was given by Roger Morse, extension
dairyman from Oregon, who has been
loaned to the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration to assist in develop­
ing a dairy program.
In his state­
ments Mr. Monse pointed out that the
incoms of the average dairyman In
1932 was only 53 per cent of his 1928
receipts and could buy only about 75
per cent as many goods m he could
in 1929. The decreased dairy income
.•»nd the lower purchasing power of
dairy products was given as the dairy
problem which was the cause of call­
ing the meeting to talk over the dairy
farmers’ pomible methods that are
available under the provision* of the

Find Drilling Difficult
There is nothing new to report this
week about the oH well where drilling
was shut down yesterday for two
days, W. E. Marr ion being called to
Portland, and Robert Bums, the drill­
er, being gone for a few days. Drill­
ing will be resumed in a day or two.
After Mr. Burns left, Mr.^iarrion
ran the drill for a couple of days, mak­
ing 20 feet of new hole. The oil and
gas indication« continue strong, but
the difficulties due to the formation at
the 1650 depth also continue, and one
trouble is in getting the casing to the
bottom of the hole to shut off the
pressure which is so strong down
there.

miming from Congressman Jaa. W.
Mott states that the bril granting 240

nish the city’s water, supply protec­
tion against any further logging op­
erations.

The tuberculin test enables us to
find quite accurately those who have
become infected.
The tuberculin test does not mean
disease. It does screen out those who
apparently have no infection and
point out the others who need further
