4 Coquille Herald. WEDNESDAY, MAR. 24, 1909. Nearly every town and city in the State of Oregon has a Chamber of Commerce, Board of trade, or some other named organization, the pur pose of which is to promote the growth of the town or city and the oounty tributary thereto. There are hundreds of people arriving in Oregon, daily, from the eastern and middle west states, at this season of the year with the purpose of estab lishing new homes and engaging in the business of their respective call ings. The town or city which is enter prising in making known to these new comers its advantages and the advantages of its surrounding coun try are the places that reap the greatest, if not the entire benefit of this immigration into the state. Coquille has organized a Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of se curing to itself and its tributary country, a share of this influx of people and the resulting benefits, and it would seem that this organiz ation should enlist the interest and support of every property owner and business man in the tiwn and surrounding country. The next meeting of the Coquille Chamber of Commerce will be held in the City Hall of Coquille, on this Wednesday evening, March 24, at 7:30 o'clock, and it is the desire of the officers and members thereof, that all who have not yet done so, attend at that time and become mem bers of the organization.

Then he declined very rapidly—so fast that he was soon but a shadow of his former self, and required the constant attention of bis faithful pa tient wife and of others called in. A visit to specialists in Portland last fall revealed small encourage ment, and the sufferer and his wife then came to the home of the lat ter's mother in this city to sadly await the final call. Death was peaceful and without immediate warning. ‘ ‘Bud’ ’ Holland was a native of Nevada City, California, and aged 33 years, 2 months and 6 days. He leaves a father and one sister living in California, besides his wife, who as Miss Daisy Wickham, second daughter ot Mrs. G. R. Wickham, be married on Oct. 18th, 1899. Deceased followed railroading in his earlier life in California, and while so employed met with an ac cident in which bis leg was broken. After coming to Coquille he engaged in newspaper work and proved him self a very capable writer. For a while he edited the old Coquille City Bulletin, now defunct. Later years were passed at Marshfield in the pursuit of different forms of employment. Mr. Holland was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, as also of the Red Men, and under the auB- pices of these orders the funeral services were conducted last Mon day at 2:80 o’clock p. m., interment taking place in Masonic Cemetery. Many friends both from here and the bay were in attendance at the obsequies, a special train conveying Red Men, Eagles and others from and to Marshfield and other points. Drops Dead. While in apparent good health and in his usual good spirits. Will iam V. Cope, of this city, while out on the road toward Myrtle Point with a gang of fellow workmen, suddenly passed to the great be- vond, from as yet some unknown cause, Monday afternoon. He had just laid down the tool with which he had been working, and he and Mr. Simpson started a short dis tance for a drink o f water, when Mr. Simpson observed him set down on a shelving bank on the hillside, and concluded he was in a faint, went to him to find that his life was passing aw.ay. The shock to his family and friends in fact to the entire com munity, was very great, and the re port at first was hard to believe. The deceased was 03 years and 11 days old, and leaves a sorrowing family and a host of friends to re gret his sudden taking off. Obitu ary next week. Riverton Pick-Ups.

The pallbearers were Mas ters Medford Lane, Clifford Kern, Wendell Knapp, Harold Feese, Will Barrows and Curtis Simpson. Flowers completly covering the little grave were collected by the ledi'>s of the Relief Corps and Aid society. The funeral was largely attended. Firm Changes Hands. One of Coquille’s principal busi ness firms underwent a change of proprietorship last Friday morning. The firm in question was Land & Lyons, the big grocery and feed firm of First atreet, from which T. T. Land retires, having sold bis half interest therein to Mr. Fay W. Jones of this city. Mr. Jones as sumed his plnce in the store imme diately, and the firm will henceforth be known as Lyons & Jones. The new member is one of our most es timable and promising young citi zens, popular with the trading pub lic, and we predict that the store will lose none of its popularity un der the new regime. Mr. Land with Mr. Lyons established this business nearly three years ago, and by close attention and fair treatment of the public they have built up a splen did trade. Mr. Land is undecided what he will engage in next, but it is to be sincerely hoped that be finds it possible to remain in our community. -------- -• « » » — — — Our Friend, The Engineer In the Circuit Court of the State of Ore- ! gon, for Coos County.
