The Recall Is H alted.
W e haven't heard so much about the
recall proposition in the past fe w
days. B efore the prim ary R was I
in g whispered about that i f John
Yoekam was elected, A rch ie Ph ilip
would be recalled a t an election to be
called this fa ll fo r th at parp ens. That
was the intention, too, but A rchie’s
friends w ere on th eir job and sim ply
laid down the ultimatum that i f hq
went Judge W atson must w alk the
plank with him and Archie loudly in­
sisted that A1 Pow ers would be re­
called as P o rt Commiaisoner a t the
Bay the same day he went over.
Some pow erful friends o f Judge
W atson had been backing the scheeme
to ditch A rch ie; but this amendment
didn’t suit thorn a little bit and every­
body interested is now taking a second
thought in the m atter. A t Marshfield
the Coos Bay Tim es lined up strong
against P h ilip and the Record, o f
course, was h ittin g a t Judge W at­
son as hard as it knew how. •
In case o f A rchie’s recall it was
planned to make Dennis McCarthy
his successor, but Dennis says, “ E x­
cuse me.” H e thinks he can’t afford
to g e t m ixed up in that scrimmage.
W e are now w aitin g to see what-the
next move w ill be.

Giles, agent fo r the Coon and Curry
Counties Cheese association.
There
are 1200 cases tp the ear, and 72
pounds to the case. Cheese is now
sellin g fo r 23 cents par pound. The
association is now shipping tw o cars
weekly and this w ill keep up fo r three
months. Last year M r. Giles shipped
2,100,000 pounds and the present
year’s shipment w ill be greater, he
says. Tillam ook is the only competi­

mook cheese ranks no higher in a

There are now 16
cream eries working to send out the
two cars a week. The cheese from

famous in many places, sellin g fo r
