Arrow Mill Co. Will Install Ma­

Week
J
A net decrease of 82,516 48 was
made in the Coos county budget by
the county court last Friday morn­
ing from the previously published
budget of 8718,328.
The decrease was possible because
of a reduction ln the state tax of one-
tenth of a mill from what the budget
committee had anticipated.
One item of increase was 81180 in
the per capita school tax, the total
enumeration of school chiildren in
the county having increased by 118.
Another item of increase was for
8715 for the special election to ba
held on Jan. 31. There were also a
few slight increases in the salaries
paid a few of the county’s employees.

First National Institute

Miss Muriel Dae, of this city, an­
nounces today her affiliation with
the First National Institute of Allied
Arts; a national institution teaching
music in more than 12,000 cities
throughout the United States.
In taking over her duties of teacher
for the Institute, Miss Dae feels that
she brings to Coquille and vicinity
an opportunity for the development
of the study of music, which to date
has not been available.
Mias Dae is well qualified for the
work, having studied under many of
the finest teachers of music in the
United States, among whom are
Heinrich Hoevel, of Minneapolis; F.
Melius Christensen, of St. Olaf Col­
lege; Frederic Hahn, of the Hahn
Conservatory of Music in Philadel­
phia, and Carl Venth, of New York.
