This check goes to the coin-' ty's general road fund. A few days ago he had received another check from the O. A C land fund, in lieu of taxes for the last part of 1537.

The building' which suffered the greater damage and is owned by Drue Cunningham, is covered by insur ance, but th*, equipment of th* plant, owned by Clifford Biasctt, was not insured.

Von Fleet John William Van Fleet passed For "Share A Ride" away at his home on the- Fairview road Friday, Nov. 26, from a h*art attack. Apparently In the beet of health, he enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with his family. Raymond Cooper, a grandson, was shocked the next day to find he had passed away as he sat in a chair by the fire. Mr. Van Fleet was born August 24, 1861, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joahua Van Fleet, in Linn county, Kansas, and was three months past eighty- two years of age. The following children survive him: Mrs. Dan Beougher, of Caldwell, Idaho; Mr*. Bessie Cooper and Wm. Van Fleet, of Coquille; three grand sons, Claude Van Fleet, who lived with his grandfather, Raymond and John Copper; five grand-daughters, Mrs. Richard Daughtery, Mr*. Ar thur Hensley, Mrs. Paul Pinkston, Winifred and Shirley Van Fleet, all of Coquille, and also seven other grandchildren in distant states sur vive. He is also survived by seven great grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 2:00 p. th. on Monday at the Schroeder Bros.' Mortuaries her*, Rev. L. C. Persing officiating. Interment was in the Masonic cemetery. A “Share the Ride” program has been inaugurated by the Coquille American Legion Poet, Dr. C. G. Stem, commander, and If every car owner will co-operate a great saving in gas and tire* in Coquille can be effected. Dr. Stem first contacted the local ratioei board and ascertained that th* ladies in the office, although they have plenty to do at ail times, would accept calls and list the names of all those calling up, saying they are going to Myrtle Point, Bandon, Coos Bay or wherever it may be. They will also record the names of those who call and ask if there is any private car on the list scheduled to go, to his or her destination. The crew in the office will make reports to anyone calling, either on* with a car or one seeking a ride. "Dr. Stem says, too, the Legion hope* to. expand the program still more by making arrangements for men, or women, employed in the same plant, to “share a ride” daily and leave one or more cars at home ev ery day.
