Leaving N. Y.
For Home
Mrs. Clegg, Promoter of the
Trip Sails For England—He
Prefers Natural Canyons.
Mrs. Frances Halmstrom received
a letter from her son Haldane yester­
day stating that he and Mrs. Clegg,
who travelled by boat from the Snake
river in northeast Oregon to New
York City by boat had arrived there
on Sept. 15. He writes that Mrs.
Clegg is leaving at once for England
where her children reside, and that
he will leave for Coquille in a day
or two, going first to Washington, D.
C. and home by way of Portland.
Mrs. Clegg gave the boat and equip­
ment which was used on that weeks-
long historic trip to a group of girl
scout mariners in New York.
From hto letter “Buzz” was not so
greatly impressed with New York, ex­
cept by its size. He refers to the nar­
row streets which are like canyons
with the skyscrapers on either side
and one can imagine he preferred the
granite walls of the Colorado or the
Snake river to the concrete, man­
made walls which prevent the sun’s
rays in many places from ever touch­
ing the street. Nor was he so enam­
ored of the subways where you pop
into a hole like a rabbit into a war­
ren to visit different sections of the
huge city.
Haldane did not say how he was
coming west—train, bus or auto—
nor how soon he would be back in
Coquille.
Tuesday was another of those days
Coquille has experienced so fre-
quntly this summer that brought out
the juice. Sometime between noon
and 1:JO the thermometer registered
89 in the shade. That wasn’t the hot­
test day of the year but it was proba­
bly the most sultry. .
«
The above was put in type Tuesday
afternoon, but that day was not the
second highest in temperature of the
summer nor the most sultry. Yester­
day’s record topped it a degree, the
thermometer registering 90, and it
was even more sultry than the day
before.
City Sells
House For $1800
The city council at its session Mon­
day evening accepted the offer of
Rankin & Barton for the purchase of
the apartment house at the corner of
Seventh and Henry streets, across
from the Church of God. Their offer
was $1800 of which $400 was paid
down and the balance to be paid at
the rate of $25 a month. The city
already has $1,001.53 invested in the
property in taxes.
Clarence Barton stated yesterday
that he and Dr. J. D. Rankin intend
putting a new roof on the building,
remodeling the interior and otherwise
putting the three apartments in good
condition. They expect to have it
ready to rent in about 30 days.
An Editorial
Whether the United States even-,
11 un
un- ­
tually enters the war or not will
doubtedly be determined by the act­
ion of congress which convened in
special session today at the call of
the president.
The latter appears to be quite con­
fident that the present neutrality law
will be repealed, in part at least, and
that a “cash and carry" program for
this country under which the belli­
gerents may buy war material here,
for cash, and ship it across the Atlan­
tic in their own boats, will be the U.
S. policy henceforth.
Whether this will embroil us in war
with Germany, which has not the
boats to transport munitions of war
from the United States remains to
be seen.
The isolationists at the moment ap­
pear to be in a minority in congress,

wish and desire to keep the U. 8.

W. A Tway
Dropped Dead
Yesterday
Highest At L A.
Was Past 82 Yean of Age and
Had Lived On Ranch Here
For Twelve Years.
W. A. Tway, a resident of the Co­
quille valley for the past twelve
years, passed away suddenly at 8:45
Tuesday morning at hto ranch below
Cedar Point where he was supervis­
ing the cutting of his hay.
He had been in town the night be­
fore at hto, granddaughter’s home,
Mrs. Le Roy Swinney. and went back
to the ranch that morning. He had
not been there long when he dropped
dead. ---3
Challenge cheese manufactured by
the Arago Cooperative cheese asso­
ciation, received the highest award in
the dairy products show at the Loe
Angeles county fair just completed in
California, according to information
received by Lawrence Rackleff, man­
ager of the Arago factory.
In his communication, Fred R. Wol­
ford, manager of the San Francisco
division of the Challenge Cream and
Butter association, of which the Arago
plant is a member, congratulated the
local management on the high quality
of cheese manufactured here.
Cheese entered in this show by the
Tillamook Creamery association plac­
ed second, third, and fourth, according
to the information received from the
manager of the Challenge associa­
tion.
Pte junk dealers licensing ordin­
ance was not adopted by the city
council at its regular mid-monthly
session Monday evening, although the
vote in its favor stood 4 for to 1
against. Having the emergency clause
attached the city charter requires that
such ordinances must have the affirm­
ative vote of five councilmen.
Everett Seeley objected to the
measure, his contention being that the
law would impose too heavy detail
work on local second hand and junk
dealers who would be required to sub­
mit to the police each day a record
of articles purchased which were val­
ued at |10 or over, besides a com­
plete bookkeeping record of every ar­
ticle, from whom purchased and
