Martin Cole expects to start a Mfies of evangelistic meet ings in the Coquille Seventh Day Ad ventist Church next Sunday night. The meetings should prove of spec ie! interest to young and old as Mr. Cole has travelled extensively, spend ing seven years m Australia as an evangelist and he brings illustrations from present day life and world con ditions to make religion real and prac tical. He says that religion ia not an emotion though it does move people. The vitally important but little studied prophecies of Daniel and Rev elation will be stressed largely, An orchestra will lead each night in a spiritual song service and there will be special music each night. 3100 Cara Stoppedip One Day Ward McReynolds, of the state auto driver»’ license department, who waa here Wednesday, stated that on Tues- ady 8100 cara were stopped at the junction of the Pacific and Redwood Highways at Granta Pam.

Marrion, who was in from the Fat Elk well thia morning, says that the well ia all cleaned out to the depth of 1711 feet, that the under reaming has been completed, and that the hole is in the best shape it ever was. He will run the last 60 feet of easing, which will be to the bottom, tomorrow, and then start drilling. And he expresses the utmost con fidence that he will strike something big within the next 15 or 20 feet. As soon as the hole was cleaned the gw began coming stronger than ever, and showed considerable force this morning. ’ , Memorial Sunday, May 27 The Woman’s Relief Corps will ob serve Memorial Sunday, May 27, with divine services at the Pioneer Meth odist Church.

Portland has offered to contribute 810,000, or half the funds needed, if the rest of the state will put up >10,000. Several cities are do nating $500 each, and the effort ia being made to raise 8500 for Coos county's share. President G. E. Krieger appointed J. E. Norton, J. D. Clinton, Dr. Ralph Milne, L. A. Parr, L. D. Felsheim and Henry Kern aa a committee to work out a plan of se curing the funds for an exhibit which it ia expected will consist largely of pictures of Oregon scenery. For the “Red Head Round-Up” at Taft, June 24 and 25, a rad-haired young lady, 18 to 28, ia to bo named from each coast county. The seven so nasnod wiH moot and decide which one shall be queen of the Round-Up. EHon Schroeder, CH f ton Day, H. A. Young and L. D. Felsheim were named as a> committee to secure a Coos county candidate. The present plan io for each community in the county to name a candidate and the Coos en trant will be chosen from the six or seven candidates at a dance to be held at the Silver Spray Garden in Bandon on June 16. The Lions Club here will be asked to make the Coquqille selection. Myr tle Point’s candidate will be chosen at the Lions’ dance there tomorrow eve ning. It’« a Splendid Improvement 13100 More Taxation This Year Than Last, Due to >7500 for Bond Retirement The budget for school district No. 8, which appears elsewhere in this is sue, reveals that the estimated expen- diturea /or the 1934-1935 school year is art at 851,207.73, with estimated re ceipts of 818,000, leaving 836,207.78 to be raised by special district tax. This is 33,066.63 larger than the district tex levied last year, but the amount budgeted for operation of the schools is practically the same as last year, 888,042.73 now aa against 838,676.10 last year. The difference between the total budget is in the estimated receipts and the amount budgeted for debt re tirement. Last year the estimated receipts, exclusive of district tax, were 812,100. For the coming yeer it is placed at >18,000. An item of 87500 is placed in thia year’s budget for payment of bonds which mature next year, besides 85065 for bond and warrant interest. Last year there was no budget for bond payment, but the interest payment was set at 45,565, which makes a dif ference or increase this year in debt payments of 87,000. With the >8*00 increase in estimated receipts it leaves an increase in the amount of money necessary to raise by taxation this year over last of nearly >3100. School operation will cost less this year but debt retirement will be more. The budget makers rightly take the view that it iu time to begin retiring the district’s bonds. The annual school meeting will be held Monday evening, June 18, at 7:80 p. m., in the high school building. Beside the vote on levying the tax to raise the 835.207, on which only taxpayers may vote, there will be the election of director to serve for throe years and a clerk to serve for one year. Dr. W. V. Glaisyvr, who has been filling the unexpired term of Lyman Currier W the pswt tew months, to the one whose term expires. Bo far there has been no suggestion of a candidate to oppose him. having by now barely become quainted with the duties of director he will without doubt be asked to serve in the office for a full term. The office of clerk, so ably filled by Keith Leslie for the past few years, ia another in which k is probable the voters will not cere to make a change. Any voter in the district may vote for director and clerk. Only taxpay ers may vote on the question of ap proving the budget Wrestling Card Postponed Messrs. Keller and Sleight, the Portland -wrestling promoters who staged so fine a card here the middle of last week, did not return for an other card last evening, as they asked the Sentinel to mention last Friday. Probably it is just as well that they waited until after school closed and the commencement exercises had boon held tonight The opening of the pavement to traffic, at the corner of Front and Ferry streets, is welcomed by every traveller who crosses the bridge. From being a traffic hazard it has been changed to a curve with a much longer tangent and wide enough for four ears to pass abreast.
