his w ife had been living on a home­
stead in Curry county for the past
five years. They had ju st sold it, so
that he could go to work in the log­
ging camp. They had one two year
old child and another only five
weeks. The mother was in the Ore­

and did not know o f his death until
after the Are. She barely had time
to escape in her night clothes and the
babe was so badly strangled by the

It was unconscious when taken out.

It is a place to
which any judge might well aspire as
out his earner and filling tee
a t an honorable ambition.
O f Judge Coke’s qualifications fo r this
distinguished position there can be no
question.
W ith long experience on
the beach o f this district which hs
now adorns, amply endowed with all
tha qualities which make a successful
judge; possessing the judicial temper
as well as the training required in
so responsible a position, his present
constituents will with practical una
nimity join in the move to place him
upon the Supremo bench at Salem.
The only reason that could possibly
militate against such unanimity
would be the natural desire to retain
him in the position he now occupies,
in which he measures out justice with
an even hand, and whose duties a
ripening experience enables him year
by year the bettor to discharge.
There isn’t any such short cut to
the basket ball championship as the

well taken If the object were to se­
cure a new location for the champion

sufficient to warrant his
in
(¿robbing the championship as things
stand now, is about the rawest sort
o f a deal that can be imagined. It
isn’t good sportsmanship to attempt
to evade the final tost in that way.
