(Everything is in readiness for the
‘Republican picnic to be held in the
McCloskey Grove at Norway, Sunday,
and the widespread interest being
shown indicates that it will be very
largely attended.
Jos. Dunne, candidate for governor,
and Jas. W. Mott, candidate for re
election to congress from this district,
have both sent their acceptance of
the invitation to speak, and they will
be present Mr. Dunne will be ac
companied by Arthur W. 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.

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

TU foxing
May Mean a Cannery
The growing of fall peas in the O'
quills valley has provided consider
able employment for two or three
hundred in this section during August
I and September for the past two years
and the same is true for this 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.
Cooo Exhibit at State Fair
Geo. E. Hampton left yesterday for
Salem with the Coos county exhibit
for the state fair which opens next
Monday. Cheese will he the most
featured item of the Coos display, al
though cranberries, butter, potatoes,
myrtle wood, peas, eanary grass aeed
and sod, bent grass seed and a variety
of root crops were taken also.
A small house, built of shakes by
John Dornath A Sons, will top a huge
cheese which Mr. Hampton is taking,
indicating that cheese and dairy prod
ucts are the foundations of prosperity
in Coos county.

pened before, has a democrat receiv

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. Turner, candidate for eon-

eve, who made a very good talk, lik

Matt Kerrigan Hera ou Visit
Matt Kerrigan, Portland attorney,
who grow up in Coquille, was a visitor
here on Tuesday and Wednesday. Ho
and Mrs. Kerrigan and their two chil
dren spent a few days of vacation at
Bandon. 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.
