Piraulx, re publican state chairman. H. E. Hess, barbecue chairman, se cured and had slaughtered a Durham cow the first of the week. She weigh ed 1126 pounds before killing. No one of the thousand expected to attend will fail to get a goodly portion of the barbecued beef roasted as Henry Hess’ well-known barbecuing ability will turn it out. The Myrtle Point high school band has been engaged to furnish music; the audience will join ia the singing; there will be games following the picnic dinner, and the prospects are that the fall campaign in Coos county will be most auspiciously inaugurated. 'Whether a republican or not every person in Coos county is invited to come with dinner basket and be pre pared to enjoy a delightful program. •In giving a statement to the Sen tinel this week a* to the plans of the Corporation, Bak er ■•Lynch Mining which ha* taken an option on 860 acres of land a couple of miles back of Fishrtrap, Wm.

Ths property Is just seven miles from Coquille and its development will bo advantageous to this city, even though a camp ia laid out at the mine. Mr. Baker says that local labor will bo employed as hr as possible and those living here will not be re quired to move to the plant Safety measures for the protec tion of the employees will be install ed, even though Oregon mining laws are quite lax on this subject.

The careless driver turned round and gave Mr. George “a big laugh” as he ex pressed it, and the latter feels that that was adding insult to injury. He says that the offender was wearing a uniform. WAYNE W. WINER TO OPEN TUESDAY Fall From Truck at Granta Paas Coquille Schools Are Ready- Teachers All Here and De- , Fatal to Coquille Logging ~ tails Completed Operator I Dairymen Adopt Grading Plan There were 40 or more dairymen in attendance at the meeting of the Coo* County Dairymen’s Association in the court house yesterday morning when the committee’s report, as outlined in tost week’s Sentinel, was submitted to the memebrahip. With a few minor changes the plan of grading milk, employing a field representative and co-operating with the creameries and cheese factories, as well aa with the state Department of Agriculture w*s adapted. The field man, who has not yet been nsmed, will act aa “trouble shooter” for both the dairymen and the plants, and it la hoped to have him deputized by the state agricultural de partment. With the elimination of milk of the C grade from shipment to the factories it is more than probable that the stan dard of milk produced in Coo* county will be raised, which means a better price to the dairymen and a better finished product shipped from Coos county. The next meeting of the association will be held October 1, but County Agent Jenkins stated yesterday that it was doubtful that the plan would go into complete operation before the first of the year.

It has also advertised the Coquille valley as a pea producing district which may result in still larger ben efits. Representatives of a large packing concern have been in Co quille at various times the past few weeks, investigating the possibilities of a pea and other vegetablea acreage which would warrant the erection of a cannery in this section. Field tests are being made this year and win be made on a larger scale in 1986. Whether these testa will prove satisfactory, no one knows now, but talk ia heard of a 2060-acre require ment for such a cannery, which might employ a thousand people during the four months’ season.

Not for 20 years, if it ever hap pened before, has a democrat receiv ed the nomination of both the dem oerat and republican parties for pub lic office in Coos county, and ho will be elected to the legislature this fall with a democrat-republican label. Dr. G. W. ’ Leslie, of Marshfield, presided as chairman of the speaking program after the Myrtle Point high school band had played several ae- lections and several songs had been sung by the audience. The first speaker was Walfreà Shu- holm, candidate for labor commis sioner. He was followed by Horace E. Walter, candidate for secretary of state, who asserted that a democrat should be elected to correct irregu larities or incompetence in the secre tary of state’s office. R. R.

Matt left Coquille in 1918 and had been back only twice in the past 21 years, once to see his father before going overseas during the war and at another time when he was with the Public Service Commission. Ho found it difficult to locate himself, with all the changes that have taken place here, and even his old home in the northeast part of town was strange to him. Nor did he find very many of the people he know here as a schoolboy. Student« Must Register 8upt P. W.
