T he C oquille H erald VOL. 28; COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1911 NO. 25 ADOPT PLANS FOR STREET IMPROVENENT A meeting of the street improve ment association of Elliott's and Notley’s additions was held at the city hall Wednesday evening, a large number being in attendance. Much enthusiasm was manifest in favor of the proposed improve ments The meeting concerned itself chiefly with the plan of laying out the streets, in order that the city engineer might have a basis to work on in surveying and estab lishing grades preparatory to hard surfacing. Three plans, or drawing, wore submitted: One by E. H. Kern, one by E 0 Barker and one by A. N. Gould. The only material differ ence in these plans was the widths of the parking and the width of the roadway to be hardsurfaced. After a somewhat lengthy discussion of the merits of each drawing the fol lowing is the substance of the plans adopted: Eight feet is to be allowed be tween the property line aud the sidewalk; all sidewalks are to be six feet wide; the curb line is to be established eight feet from the outer edge of tne walk, and a road way in the center of the street, 18 feet wide, is to be hardsurfaced with Borne material to be agreed upon later. This establishes the sidewalk in the center of the park strip, and also allows a strip on either side of the roa 1 which may be paved in the future, if necessary, A committee, consisting of A. J. Sherwood, J. W. Leneve, R. S. Kuowlton. Dr. Richmond and Prof. Anderson, was named to cir culate a petition among the prop erty owners to be presented to the council.

Preparations are under way for a picnic and banquet to be held in May, at which State President Mc Alister aud Secretary Sikes are expected to be present.

Mr. Burk holder has proven himself an effi cient officer and Lis resignation was accepted with reluctance. F- H. Kern was appointed to fill tbe unexpired term. Following is a copy of Mr. Burk- dolder's resignation, which we print in full. Dear Brothers— . Owing to the fact that my time is so arranged that it will be impos sible for me to give my attention to tbe work of organizing the Farmers Union in a way and manner that would p'.ove beneficial to the great cause or to reflect credit to myself, and for other reasons I will not go into detail to explain at this time. I hereby tender my resignation as County Organizer to take effect upon your earliest possible con venience of acceptance. In tendering my resignation, brethren, allow me to assure you it is with a deep, sincere feeling that I can better serve the union in an unofficial way, as then my work and my sincerity in the cause can not be questioned. My official authority is all I sac rifice, as my heart is with you in everything that is good and true and noble. In ' evety fight for betterment of tbe farmers’ condition aud the making of rural life more pleasant— the betterment of rural condition, you may depend on me to the last ditch. Thanking ail my triends in the union for their loyal support and their implicit confidence in my in tegrity in the past, I beg to remain Yours for tilling the soil, Frank Burkholder. CHILDREN SOLD TO BUY BREAD Washington, Feb. 25. — Harrow ing tales of the misery and distress of tbe famine victims iu China reaches the State Department with every incoming Oriental mail. One letter, just at hand, from Reveiend VV. D.-Bostick, a missionary in the stricken province of Anhui, details the terrible plight of the people. Three minutes walk from his door he found a young man crouched by the roadside in the snow and bitter wind, with not a single thtead of clothing on him. Another workman was seen with one foot having a pretense of a shoe on it, while the other foot was bare. These were beggars, though at one lime workers, and all they received was a debased coin, good lor nothing but to give beggars. “ Wheu rhe beggar gets it,” says Dr. Bostwick, "it is good (or noth ing except to sell and give back to those who want to go through the pretense of helping the poor.’’ Thirty pieces ot this so-called money are offered for one ten cash piece. A straw stuck in a wheel barrow or a piece of furniture is a sign that the article is for sale. Dr. Bostick writes: "There are children to be seen with the same sign attached to them. 1 saw a child in his parents’ arms with a straw stuck upon him and one following with the same sign attached. Two nights ago a child was buried to its neck in manure. The next morning it was sold for oue cattle, or one pound and a third of bread.” The missionary was disbursing a COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL PRINT BOOK NORNALL DRANE BADLY INJURED BY EXPLOSION PER Y E A R $1.50 COAL MINES DAVID SMITH EXTENSIVE TO BE OPENED SOON IS KILLED AT VS.
