Profit
This story did not come to the
Sentinel from Mike Daniels who con
ducts semi-monthly auction sales at
his shop this way from Norway, but
it is a boost for the auction business.
A rancher who lives between Myrtle
Point and Arago was in Portland re
cently and a lot of houaehold equip
ment in a second hand store caught
his eye. Inquiry of the proprietor
finally resulted in an offer of sale for
$10.
“Load ’er up,’* said the Coos man.
"I did not offer to load it," was the
response.
“No toad, no sale.”
The Portland dealer thereupon
loaded it on to the truck, making a
good stand load, and Mr. Rancher
He arrived in Albany while the
weekly auction was going on and de
cided to see what he could get for
his bargain.
When the smoke of bidding had

percentage deducted for entering it
in the sale!

that this city is opposed to a di

League of Oregon Cities is endeav

ment. The League’s efforts would
compel transfer of a portion of the
tax money to cities instead of allow
ing the highway commisison to spend
it all on highways.
The request was for blinker lights
at the Second street intersection with
the highway, at the junction of the
two highways on Front street and
where the highway from Myrtle Point
turns west at the Fitzgerald Serviçe
Station corner.
The request of the delegation for an
audience forbidding bill board adver
tising of liquor in town was granted
by the adoption of such an ordinance,
but Attorney Tallant Qraenough
stated he did not know whether it
could be successfully upheld in a
court action to compel removal of
such signs.
J. W. Bryan, skating rink operator

was losing his customers due to the
poor floor and submitted figures of
what the material would cost of a
new one—for both Masonite and
maple. For the main floor $306 for
Masonite and $661.50 for maple.
If the south side was also floored,
the additional cost, for material only
in both cases, would be $123.40 or
$271.60, depending on which was
used.
The Masonite could only be used if
the underpinning was reinforced to
make the present floor rigid which
would cast a great deal in addition
to the above figures.
Inspector Dungey was asked to
submit a report on the building’s
condition at the next meeting.

The bid of Fred Bull for public

The council voted to accept it, if the

D. E. Cruikshank and Mike Braod,
who have been employed by the city
for years at day labor pay of $4 a
day, will henceforth be on the city’s
payroll at $120 per month.
The application for street vacation,
of Geo. A. Ulett on Maple street and
Bonnie Walker on Myrtle, where
those two streets are on a hillside be
tween Second and Third, came up
for hearing, but the council decided
to have the city engineer submit a
written report on the proposals at
the next meeting before taking any
action.
Another request for a no-parking
spot on Hall street was tabled.
The applications ot the Quelle Cafe
and the White Spot for restaurant li

approved.
The city engineer reported that
only about 50 per cent of the proper

the gravel improvement of portions
of Fifth and Division streets, were
represented on the petition presented,
but stated that the improvement was
desired. The council instructed him
to prepare plans and specifications

The bids for pipe for the 10 inch
