Their efforts which are largely a labor uf love, for I the pay they receive is very small compared with the amount of protec tion they give Coquille, are instantly available, day or night, and many are the homes which have been saved be cause of their prompt response. The dsnee will be held in the mid dle of the block on First street, be tween Tsylor and Hall.

They had quite a rough trip up, with strong head winds, and tied up a^Port Or ford Saturday night. As the Sentinel editor watched the craft rolling and tossing in the waves Sunday morning, as it passed Bandon beach on its way to the river’s mouth, ho was glad not to be aboard. But the men and Fred Caughell’a son, Bob, the three members of the crew, ap peared to be in the best of spirits when they tied up at the Bandon docks for breakfast. Mrs. C. G. Caughell and fra Johnson met them there, the latter to take the helm for the trip up the river. Tse “Zebra” left for Gold Beach Monday afternoon, taking about 400 brick to Gold Beach from the brick plant at Arago. Pea picking started on the Ford ranch the latter part of last week and when the Sentinel scribe viisted the field* on Wednesday there were 140 picker* employed. This *is probably as many as will be on the job at the peak of the season which will be with in the next two weeks. Picking in the W. A. Tway A Son field* was expected to start today with about 50 at the start and from 175'to 200 needed by Sept 1. The Tway* have 84 acres in peat and there are 93 acres in the Ford fields. •H. 8. Cadman, la charge of the Ford ranch, says that aphis and wind have acted to materially cut down produc tion this yesr, and while the price ia very fair the reduced yield will cut down receipts. They were shipping from five to eix tons of peas a day this week to Marshfield, where they are packed, iced, loaded and shipped i to Portland. Mr. Cadman saps that the demand is good, even the culls d e- carded by the government inspector being eagerly sought by buyers. '“T’ckers'kfe paid, as last year, a cent a pound and the most proficient can gather 300 pounds in eight houiw. The least skilful pick about 150 pounds. The 140 pickers on the Ford ranch are divided 50-50 between men and boys and ladies. • There are many srticol boys at work in the field this year. W. M. Tway stated Wledneeday that his peas are later because the seed used in the first planting was poor and 61 acres had to be replanted. In the last two or three week« the a ph « has been more successfully com batted at the Tway ranch, for they would start spraying after the wind went dewn in the evening and con tinue thrrmgh the night until the mid-' Colored Team Plays Aug. 26-27 The Loggers do not play ball this coming Sundsy, both the Blitz team of (Portland, and the Indian team from Warm Springs, Oregon, asking more of a guarantee than Manager 1 Fortier felt their prominence wqs worth.
