WEDNESDAY, DEC. 30, 1908.
Our Loquacious Dairy "ispector.
Coos county fans a Indy inspector
of dairies
She is unquestionably
versed in the biTtter-mnking busi­
ness as are fow of her sex, and this
fact, coupled with her energy and
evident desire to develop the indus­
try in both county and State, has
earned for her recognition in the
councils of the State Dairy Assem­
bly. So much to the lady’s credit,
and of that much everyone, particu­
larly io Coos county, is warrantably
proud.
Rut there is one lamentable fault
possessed by Mrs. Yoakam.
She
talks too much with respect to her
position—has too much imagination,
which she indulges very likely with­
out weighing its injurious elects
while it contributes happily to her
craved for personal aggrandizement.
The H erald is much grieved that
Mrs. Yoakam should have given ex-
pression to some of the utterances
credited to her at the late Dairy
Convention, and it feels that when
a woman occupies a public position
she must expect public criticism of
her official acts, imparted with be­
coming courtesy. Such is likewise
the opinion of some of our repre­
sentative dairymen who called at
this office Saturday to indignantly
refute some of the allegations made
by the inspector.
These allegations are denounced
as ridioulous inventions— as being
shamefully libelous upon the dairy­
men and their calling in Coos coun­
ty. We may have, as does other
butter sections, a few dairymen who
could be cleanlier in their habits
and who merit some rebuke, but it
is preposterous to advertise to the
State that we have men io the busi­
ness who are hogs in human form.
ist where, we are constrained to
ik, did Mrs, Yoakam find a separ-
tor that provided a welcome roost
ior tbo barnyard fowl, and where
the milk cans thrown about the cor­
ral for pigs to slumber in? Again,
what person outside an insane asy­
lum would deliberately remove his
shoe and sock in the presence of a
strange lady and proceed to clean
his milk cans with tne sock? Even
if lacking the first principles o f de­
cency, would he not more likely use
any old rag within reach of his fin­
ger tips rather than sacrifice a piece
of his clothing? The idea is too ab­
surd for the sane person to harbor
for a moment.
When Mrs. Yoakam tells these
things, groundless as they are, to a
great State gathering she fails to re­
alize the injustice, the irreparable
injury she is inflicting upon the very
industry o f her county that she is
expected to defend and assist. As
a matter of fact, leading dairymen
s ly nnd know that we have just as
cleanly conditions in the dairies and
creameries of Coos county as they
have anywhere; they know it be­
cause they have visited these dairies
and creameries quite as often as has
Mrs. Yoakam--perhaps oftener, and
are familiar with the true state of
affairs therein existing.
Had any
such conditions been found as set
forth by the inspector in her talk,
these same men would have exposed
and prosecuted the cases in the in­
terests of decency and the profes­
sion.
The H erald in conclusion would
say that if the newspapers have not
misquoted Mrs. Yoakam respecting
her utterances at the Salem Conven­
tion she should be asked to correct
the damaging misetatemeots; if mis­
quoted she should publish the fact
to preserve the good name of one of
Coos county’s growing and import­
ant industries.
Mr. Bell and iiis Franchise.
It is to be noted with satisfaction
that the Mayor and Common Coun­
cil of this city saw the wisdom at a
glance of moving cautiously in
the matter of granting the fran­
chise petitioned for by Seymour H.
Bell et al. Nine days ngo Mr. Bell
came to Coquille with his wished
for franchise drafted and in his ov­
ercoat pocket, ready to spring the
same upon the Council in a hurried
session of that body with the evi­
dent hope of having it passed before
the general public could realize the
meaning of the proceeding.
But the Council was not to be so
dealt with. Neither were the peo­
ple asleep to the situation. If Mr.
Bell had a meritorious proposition
to offer it could await the necessary
time to exploit its merits; if non-
meritorious from the people’s stand­
point the pe< pie were entitled to
time to ascertain the fact and place
their stamp of disapproval upon it.
The Board met and resolved to
meet again with a citizen's commit­
tee which it appointed, consisting
of Messrs Barrow, Thrift, Morri­
son, Hazard and Harlocker, when
a franchise that would protect the
city and be as liberal as deemed ad­
visable to all concerned could bo
prepared and offered to Mr. Bell.
The one which he desired passed
was not to the liking of the Council
upon investigation, nor was it to
the citizens' mass meeting held at
the court house last Wednesday eve­
ning. The Couucil and the citizens’
committee met Saturday evening
and drafted a franchise that was
deemed best to grant.
This was
forwarded to Mr. Bell for bis exam­
ination, and with the word that the
matter would be finally disposed of
on Monday night.
Wnen the Board met Monday eve.
ning there wer6 a number of towns­
people present with it; also Mr. Bell
and Attorney John 8. Coke. City
Attorney Chase was likewiso in at­
tendance. Mr. Bell took the floor
to advocate his cause— said he de­
sired to install a No. 1 lighting and
power system with 24-hour service,
and “ might" invest as much as $100,-
000 in the community, but his an­
swers were always evasive when it
was sought to ascertain whether he
would generate bis current from a
plant here or transmit it from the
Porter plant on the bay. Coincident
