Masonic-Star
Picnic Sept. 10
Sunday, September 10, has been set
for the Masonic and Eastern Star
picnic which is sponsored by the
Masters and Wardens Association of
District No. 12, and will be held in
the Mast grove on the Hardy Mast
place at Lee. All Masons and Eastern
Stars are invited to attend and bring
their guests. The dinner will be a
potluck affair with the Association
furnishing the ice cream and coffee.
There will be horseshoe pitching,
baseball games between the Coos Bay
lodge and the Coquille valley and
Curry county lodges, foot races as
well as other athletic events.
It is hoped that a number of the
grand lodge officers, including Grand
Master Leif S. Finseth, of Dallas,
Oregon, and Earl Snell, deputy grand
master, of Salem, will be present at
this picnic, and invitations have been
sent all of the grand lodge officers by
District Deputy Grand Master Ray
McNair, of Bandon.
Elton Schroeder, president of the
Masters and Wardens, has selected
the following committees: Horse shoe
pitching, Dutch Clinton, of Chadwick
lodge and Otto Davis, of Myrtle
lodge; foot races, Jim Jenkins, of
Bandon lodge; Coquille valley base­
ball team, P. C. Roper, at Myrtle
lodge; Coos Bay baseball team. R. A.
Kotka and John Kolb, of Marshfield
and North Bend.
Chadwick Lodge of Coquille will
have charge of the grounds, placing
them in shape, and placing the neces­
sary signs on the roads so that the
visitors will be able to find the
grounds.

furnished by the Hunt Shingle Mill,
of Coquille, and if this outside cov­
ering does not outlast the interior
Harry Hunt is going to be very much
disappointed. Never in Oregon was
material for a building subjected to
such minute inspection as was all
the material for this structure, both
inside and out, as was this one, and
the finished job shows it, whether
the contractor went in the red or not.
The grounds are not yet in condi­
tion, although they have been levelled
off and the holes filled, but there is
an opportunity there to make that
block the most beautiful school
grounds in the county when the lawn
is started and shrubs and plants are
set out.
N. Y. to Portland—18 Hours
Dr. J. E. Richmond and Everett
Seeley returned Sunday evening
from their trip to New York City
where they attended the Henry
George Centenary held In the
Hotel Commodore, and attended the
exposition. They were in New York
for a week and enjoyed the big city
immensely. The return trip was
made from N. Y. to Portland by
plane—18 hours in the air, and this
was by no means the least of the
thrills they had on the trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Iris Elrod returned
last Thursday evening from a vaca­
tion trip to San Francisco where they
visited the fair and old friends of
Iris’ when he lived there. From his
reports he got more out of the fair
and the many lectures given there
than has anyone else with whom this
reporter has talked after their visit
on Treasure Island.
A seven pound son, who has been
named John Thomas, was bom to
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Dimmick at the
hospital in Marshfield last Saturday.
The mother is the former Marvin
Jane Hawkins and it is probable that
grandma and grandpa Hawkins were
not more delighted when their own
children were bom than they are
over this advent at a grandson.
