H, McCloskey Home One of Prettiest in Valley
One of the prettiest farm homes
with attractive surroundings to be
found in the Coquille Vailey is
that of State Representative and
Mrs. J. H. (Bertie) McCloskey, in
the .Norway district, about one
mile west of the Norway pojtof-
fice.
A visit to this beauty spot, in a
picturesque setting just off the
banks of the Coquille river, will
easily convince a person that the
owners take pleasure and delight
in giving thought and many hours
of personal attention to the beau­
tifying of the surroundings of th ■
home, thus affording pleasure for
their friends and visitors as well as

active of the reiiden's of the Co­
quille Valley, identifying them­
selves with every movement that
tends to the advancement of the
community as well as assisting in
every endeavor for the welfare
and happiness of neighbors and
acquaintances.

It is a most desirable site for such purposes, with plenty
of shade as well as having an open field of considerable size where
athletic events may be carried out. The park is the scene annually of
several large county gatherings as well u numerous smaller ones.
J. H. McCloskey is a former active cheese and butt°r manu­
facturer of Coquille and Norway, and as such counted his friends and
patrons by the hundreds for his uniformly fair and just treatment
of patrons. In this business he proved highly successful, but .he
desire to retire to a less active existence prompted him to s’ll his
plants in 1928 to Swift & Co., since which time he has devoted prac­
tically his entire time and attention to his home dairy farm of 220
acres, where he takes delight in looking after one of the finest herds
of cows in the valley.
Soon after retiring to his farm Mr. McCloskey was called upon
by his political party, democratic, to become one of its legislative can­
didates, and was elected state representative for Coos county by a
large majority. He has since been twice re-elected, each time by
handsome majority over his opponents, so satisfied have been his
constituents with his legislative record. In each session Mr. McClos­
key has served as chairman or member of some of the most impor­
tant committees, several of which have had before them matters of
vital interest to Coos county dairymen and others. Mr. McCloskey
has ever been alert and watchful of any proposed law affecting his
constituents. During the past two terms and a special, State Represen­
tative McCloskey was ably assisted by his wife, who served as secre­
tary.
Commenting on his legislative work, C. C. Chapman, editor of
the Oregon Voter, who can “read” each legislator as no other person,
said of Mr. McCloskey: “He is one of the htfrdest working members;
a man not given to talking, but in doing, and his committee work
stands out as among the most effective of any members in the house.
Coos county is fortunate to have such a legislator as Mr. McCloskey.”

Room For More Poultry
For the Sportsman'» Entertainment
While the depression years brought a slump in
the raising of chickens and turkeys, still during the
pant year many farm homes are giving more con­
sideration to the poultry industry, and indications
nt to it becoming a decided factor in the prosper-
of the Coquille Valley in the next few years to
come There are several already engaged in the
Industry on a commercial basis and report fine re­
turns being realized, and this prompts others to
give it consideration with former operators contem­
plating re-engaging in the business.
There is no
limit to the number who may find poultry raising
profitable, with conditions nighly satisfactory. The
average number of eggs per hen in the United
States is 180, while in the Coquille Valley it is
known to have been as high as 200, with 220 not
uncommon. The average for Coos county equals or
betters that of the United atwtes
There is no better fishing and hunting any­
where than in southwestern Oregon, particularly
the Coquille valley area. Ducks, geese, pheasant,
grouse, quail are plentiful in the fall, while deer,
bear, cougar and other wild animals furnish plenty
of excitement and adventure for the men and
women with gun and bow and arrow, all killed in
season. The various rivers, lakes and streams are
the home of the salmon of the Chinook, Steelhead
and Silverside species, as well as trout and other
fish abound, offering the best sport imaginable.
The ocean presents opportunity for deep sea fish­
ing, resultant with halibut, red snapper, ling cod,
etc.
Yes, strange as it may seem, one may pick
roses and flowers of varied descriptions from the
flower garden in winter time in the Coquille VaUey.

One of the greatest charms of Oregon's beaches
is the scenic Oregon Coast Highway (U. S. No. 101).
This marvelous paved route alternately passes
through stands of virgin timber, along vast sand
dunes, then high on the faces of cliffs where it is
hewn out of solid rock and from which you may
look straight down into the sea hundreds of feet
below.

A further evidence of the prosperous condition
prevailing in Coos county is the increased business
in the postoffices, each one showing a decided im­
provement over that of 1936, with indications point­
ing to 1937 even exceeding that of the banner years
of either 1928-29 or 30.
