AN Definite About Strike's Both the Smith Wood-Products management and the officials of Lo cal 2770 gave the same report shortly before noon today—that negotiations ' are in progress—but there is no definite assurance at this writing that the negotiations will be successful and the strike called off or that it will be continued. The union meeting to vote on a proposed settlement has not yet been called. A street rumor yesterday was to the effect that the negotiations had been satisfactorily concluded, but this is not confirmed by either party, and even it that was the case it would hot become effective until after the mem bership vote is taken. — Hi way Association Meets At Tillamook An unusualy well atended meeting of the annual Coast Highway Asso ciation was held at Tillamook last Sunday and Monday, nearly 109 be ing present from the coast counties in the association. Compton was the sole Coquille J. E. ft be- 1 was the first one he has falMd to attend. J. W. Lundeen, of Nelscott, was elected president of the association to succeed Henry Kern who presided at the sessions. Mr. Kern was made Coos county director for a three-year term and Lafe Compton, vice presi dent for Coos county. Very interesting talks were made by Clarence Coe, at Marshfield, Geo. I. Warren, publicity director for Vic toria, B. C.; Judge W. A. Johnson, of Josephine county, and Henry F. Ca- ’ Arch B. Sanden, <g Marshfield, esc- ecutive secretary and manager of the Oregon -Coast Highway bt Llntluii delivering his annual report, said the Oregon Coast highway showed a con siderable travel increase this year and explained that much of ft was due to increased publicity. He point ed out that photo contests, road signs and wild flower publicity were among the principal factors resulting in the increase. After declaring, “Competition in tourist travel is becoming keener and unless something is done we will shrivel and dry up in competition,” Sanders distributed a questionnaire which asked for suggestions on how further to increase travel along the coast. He suggested that an auto mobile emblem to stress coast scen ery would help. Before showing colored motion pictures of coast wild flowers, he also suggested addi tional showings of films of Oregon Coast scenery to service and other organizations throughout the nation. Jack Terrell Here On Furlough From Navy Jack Tenell, eon of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Terrell, arrived here Tuesday evening from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where he has been stationed on the U. S. S. Clark.

Bobbie Terrell, his* brohter, is also stationed on the U. S. S. Clark. Lions District Governor Coming District Governor Leonard Knox, Mrs. Olson's Born Burned Two small grandchildren of Mrs. Mary Olson bad a narrow escape late Friday afternoon when the hay barn in which they were accustomed to spend the day playing bunt in flame caused by spontaneous combustion. Observers report that the bam seemed to explode. Burning shingles flew as far as a quarter of a mile from the barn. For a short time the farmhouse and outbuildings were threatened by the whirling brands of flame. A sud den and fortunate change of wind soon after the fire started reversed the course of the flaming missiles and sent them hurtling toward the Russ Investment company fields, away from the Fat Elk road, on which the Olson farm is located. ' Though the barn was partially cov ered by insurance, the hundred and eighty tons of hay, estimated to be worth a minimum of 31,800.00 was not insured. The hay continued to smolder for several days after the bam had been destroyed. .
