A better market for Coot county
«■rowers' products will be sought by a
newly formed organization, according
to C. A. Baling, of McKinley, who has
been selected as temporary chairman

ing, Staling declared.

tee include C. A. Baling, McKinley;

SCHOOL ELEC­
TION MONDAY
The selection of a well qualified
man as director on the school board,
to serve for three years, and a clerk
to serve for one year, are important
duties which the voters of district No.
8 are to perform next Monday eve­
ning, June 18, at 7:30 p. m. in the high
school building, but more important
than that is the approving of the bud­
get ao that school may be carried on
next year. The total budget calls for
561,207.78, of which 885,207.73 k to
be raised by taxation.
There has been no intimation given
•f an attempt to defeat the budget,
but those who believe in our school
system,
and want it maintained at a
<
high standard, should be present Mon­
day evening to vote their convictions.
Dr. W. V. Glaisyer has taken hold
of kis Job as director in a manner
which entities him to consideration at
the hands of the voters, and a re­
election.
Keith Leslie, as all know, is a most
efficient dark, and the voters would
make a mistakes in not retaining him
in that position.
W. E. Marrion Acquitted
W. E. Marrion was found not guilty
by the Jury which heard the evidence
in the case, Wednesday. He had been
indicted on a forgery charge, but the
evidence ail tended to show that he
did not write the 8200 draft His evi­
dence was that Hagen, the oil driller,
had written it and signed the name of
his partner, Stickles, to it. When pre­
sented in Loe Angeles, the draft was
dishonored by Mr. Arnold, whose let­
ter Mr. Marrion had seen, in which
Arnold said he would pay the 3200.
The 8200 was for a 20-acre oil
lease which was to have been peddled
in acre lota in Los Angeles, but when
the drilling was suspended in the fall
of 1932 the purchaser of the 20 acres
refused to go through with the deal.
Mr. Marrion had turned the draft
over to the Coquille Hotel on a hotel
hill. According to Marrion it would I
have been paid had the deal gone
through.

There are many unsighty yards,
parkings and vacant lota in thia town,
which are badly in need of a barber.
.The owners of~kiich lota sometimes
are too busy to attend to them, but no
doubt would be glad to have their
places cleaned up if they knew where
they might hire someone to do it.

5 NEW TEACHERS
Elected by School Board Monday
—Grace Ellingsen and Les­
ter Wilson Get Contracts
At a meeting of the board of school
directors held at the high school Mon­
day evening, five new teachers were,
elected to positions now vacant in Co­
quille schools. Careful consideration ■
waa given to a large number of can­
didates. Due to the resignations of
five teachers including the principal,
it waa necessary to find a new man
to carry on with organisation ability,'
experience, and adequate training.
The board elected Aibie L. Beck for
principal of the Lincoln school. Mr.
Beck is a graduate of Ashland High,
Southern Oregon Normal and holds a
B. S. degree from the University of
Oregon. He has had five years’ ex­
perience as a teacher and principal in
Talent and Powell Butte in Oregon.
Mr. -Beck plana to be married this
summer. He is a talented musician,
able to organise a band or orchestra,
and can coach dramatics. In addition
to hie experience in athletics, both
as a player and coach, Mr. Beck re­
ceived several college honors. Many
letters of recommendation, including
assurances from State Superintendent
C. A. (Howard, indicate that Mr. Beck
ia well qualified to give Coquille an
excellent administration in the Lin­
coln school.
Local residents will undoubtedly be
pleased to learn that Lester Wilson
has been appointed instructor in ths
Lincoln school. Little need be said
concerning his athletic ability which
is already familiar to those who have
followed Coquille high school teams.
Mr. Wikon is a graduate of Southern
Oregon Normal and holds a B. S.
from Albany College.
He has had
three yean’ experience in practice
teaching and teaching under contract.
Mr. Wilaon holds certificates for both
grade and high school teaching and
will be available for coaching assist­
ance in either the high school or Lin-
coln school. He also is to be married
thia
ir.
Mks Alfa O. Bang has been elected
instructor in the Lincoln school. Miss
Bang has had seven years’ experience
in grade and departmental work.
Though her early education took place
in Minnesota, she has done consider­
able work at Monmouth and in the
University of Oregon. Her person­
ality and records are such that she
will At into a new position success­
fully. One of her references states,
“She has always made good at any­
thing «he has undertaken.” Her record
appears to prove thia statement.
A Coquille graduate will All the va­
cancy now existing in the Washing­
ton school. Mias Groce Ellingsen has
been elected to replace Miss Wittlek,
who has resigned.
Mks Ellinguen
has not had long experience but she
has accomplished so much in her ca­
reer as a student and as a teacher
that there ia every indication that she
will succeed in this new position. In
addition to her diploma work at'Ora­
ron Normal, Mks Ellingson found
time to All a librarian's position there.
She was elected to two women’s hon­
orarios, was chosen by the faculty to
edit the Normal Year Book, was a
member of the Lamron Staff, and par­
ticipated in sports and dramatics. A
reedmmendation states, “She is a
teacher who goes the second mile.*
In addition to her teaching experience
in Lyonsn, Mies Ellingson will con­
tribute a natural leadership and pow-
er which should result in success.
Mis* Dorothy Bsrry, of Marshfield,
waa elected an instructor in the Lin­
coln school. Miss Barry is the daugh­
ter of Mrs. Barry, who is art super­
visor in Marshfield. With four years'
experience in Delmar and Reedsport,
excellent recommendations, including
those by Mrs. Mulkey, county super­
intendent, there will be no question
about her success.
With the exception of Mr. Beck, all
newly elected teachers will be given
minimum salaries. One new develop­
ment looking to a larger educational
offering wiH be the ability of the new­
ly elected teachers to At into any
plans to offer muele, art, auditorium
activities, and physical education.
At the board meeting C. A. Gould
was again given the contract for
school janitor, at 82750 for the year,
and set the figure to be paid H. L.
Johnson st the Washington building,
and the Lincoln’s Janitor’s salary, at
878 each per month for an eleven-
months year.
W. H. ManseH was given the con­
tract for furnkhing the wood fuel for
the three buildings at the price he bid.
The high school roof must be re­
newed this summer, but after discuss­
ing the matter the directors postponed
setion until more Information had
