Coo» Bay Lumber Co. for
Winter Operation
As intimated in the Sentinel last
week, the Coos Bay Lumber Co. will
very probably operate a logging
camp near Fairview the coming win­
ter and several hundred men will be
employed there.
The plan to operate there when
snow causes the camp above Powers
to be shut down, was made practi­
cally certain when right-of-way
deeds for a logging road were filed
recently by the Coos Bay company.
The entire right-of-way has not yet
been secured, but nearly all of it has.
It will not run up Cunningham as
formerly but will run through a
pass between Bud creek, which emp­
ties into Cunnigham, and the timber
stand west of Fairview.
H. W. Bunker, president of the
lumber firm, in answer to an inquiry,
told the Coos Bay Times that work
already was underway relative to
the purchase of the right-of-way for
the proposed railroad, and that if
needed property can be purchased for
“reasonable prices” the development
is assured.
Mr. Bunker pointed out that re­
moval of the price-fixing provisions
of the lumber code and “certain
other restrictions," the eliminating

Mrs. Wm. Bell, of Roseburg, is presi­

It will also be the fifth semi-an­

ton is president, and the two ladies,
Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Norton, have ar­
ranged the program for the day ses­
sion.
Mrs. W. S. Nicholson, of Marsh­
field, president of the state federa­
tion, will be present and speak to the
ladies, and other prominent speakers
have promised to be present.
The business session and program
of the county organization will be
held in the morning in Odd Fellows
hall, and all the sessions will be held
there. In the afternoon the business
session and program of the district
federation will be held, and the eve­
ning program will be open to the
general public.
A no-host luncheon for members
is to be served at the Coquille Hotel
at noon, and a banquet will be given
in the evening at the same place.
Club members from all six counties
are invited to attend the sessions and
the general public is invited to hear
the evening program.

Pete Johnson Improving Now
Some accidents may be called un­
avoidable, but that which nearly coat
Pete Johnson his life last week could
not be put in that class.
Mr. Johnson, who is 87 years of
age, is now recovering from a very
serious attack of pneumonia at the
Knife Hospital and should be out in
a few weeks.
He was crossing the Marshfield
highway from his place to the Co­
quille Auto Park Service Station,
boys, rpprocched with a clear view
of 150 to 200 feet of the old gentle­
man. Instead of staying on the pave­
ment they tried to go round him and
actually did pass him on the service
station side, after he was five feet off
the pavement. But a cot, tied across
the rear of the car, caught his arm,
and threw him heavily to the pave­
ment. He suffered a broken arm,
broken shoulder, and badly lacerated
arm and head, but managed to get up
with Albert Rives' assistance, and
was later brought in to the hospital.
He was gritty as they make them
and objected to the calling of a doc­
tor, but the resulting pneumonia
proves how serious were his injuries.
No complaint has been filed against
the boys for their carelessness, al­
though the police have the names of
the car’s occupants.
Annual Public Health Session
The Masonic Temple last night was
the scene of a very lovely affair, the
occasion being the reception which
Beulah Chapter, No. 6, O. E. S., held
in honor of Mrs. Inez Glalsyer, asso­
ciate grand matron of the Grand

The tables were set for 225 for the

Eastern Star Chapters of Coos and
Curry counties and to members of the
Roaeburg chapter and a large num­
ber from these various chapters were
present.
A beautiful degree in song, which
had been composed by Mrs. Mabel

ing pert in the degree were Mrs. Ca­
milla Rietman, conductress of Beulah

quested that all directors of that as­
sociation meet with the Chamber of
Commerce directors at the hotel next
Tuesday noon, Oct. 2, when it is ex­
pected a date for the Corn Show Will

tention it needs next month. In fact,

If the Corn Show is held in Octo­
ber, Mr. Smith says, another chair­
man must be selected. And he adds
that such action would be entirely
agreeable to him.
