The good housewife finds the family
washing particularly disagreeable—
the hot, steaming suds— the muss
and dirt-house upside down— Hub­
by gets home to a cold lunch and is
cross—baby cries, etc.
The work of taking care of the
family wash is a pleasure to us—
it is our business— we are equipped
for it. Send it to us— be rid of all
the worry and hard work. You
will be glad— the baby will be
good — Hubby will smile over a
warm dinner—you will live longer
and be happier.

The Coquille Commercial Club
held a special protracted meeting
Monday evening, lasting until near-
j lv eleveu o ’clock, with the net
official result of the payment to the
j Seutiuel ol $ 3.25 tor printing, and
' the appointment of a cominitte ol
three to commune with Secretary
Savage relative to his holding down
the job.
Several matters were discussed,
amoug them being the holding of a
carnival here on the completion of
the street paying, which subject
was introduced by the secretary.
The sentiment of the meeting seem­
ed to be in favor of Holding such a
carnival, but no official action was
taken.
Secretary J. C. Savage bauded in
his resignation as secretary o f the
club, but a motion that the resigna­
tion he accepted was lost. Mr-Sav­
age went quite fully into the rea
sons for his desire to relinquish the
arduous duties ol his office. His
main reason seemed to be the difli
culty and the disagreeable features
connected with the collection of
dues from the members, his total
compensation consisting of but 25
per cent of these collections. He
expressed a willinguess to perforin
the other duties of the office, exclu­
sive of the collectorship, but a ques­
tion as to whether he would do iliis
without compensation did not elicit
a definite answer. Mr. Savage also
referred feelingly to the indifference
of the membership and the failure
to attend meetings. This brought
out Irom R. S- Kuowlton an e x ­
pression to the effect that it was
always thus in a town of this size;
and A. J. Sherwood told of former
years when be and Mr. Knowlton,
as secretary and president, respect­
ively, had kept the organization
alive all by their lonely. Mr. Sher­
wood also deprecated Mr. Savage’s
plaint as to the disagreeable and
profitless features of the secretary’s
duties, saying that he bimselt had
performed these duties here for years
without thought o f compensation
and would be willing to undertake
it again, only that he thought he
had served his time.
President Geo. Peoples suggested
that an executive committee be ap­
pointed to revive interest in the
club and formulate plans for its fur­
ther usefulness, but no action was
taken on this.
C. R. Borrow, who was present,
told why he had dropped put of ac­
tive membership in the club, and
made some good suggestions. He
said that on joining the club he had
attended regularly, paid his dues
cheerfullv and contributed in other
ways for the boosting of the town;
but, finding that nothing was being
really doue by the club, further
than getting together and talking
things over without action, he had
lost interest aud dropped out. He
would be glad to take an active and
contributing part in the work of a
club that would actually do some­
thing to advertise and develop the
town and the Coquille valley.
Finally, on motion of J. S. Lyons,
a committee consisting o f Leo. J.
Carey, C. A. Howard and J. S
Lyons, was appointed to secure
another member to undertake the
duties of the secretaryship, if Mr.
Savage could not be prevailed upon
to retain the office permanently.
Adjournment was taken to the
next tegular meeting, August 5 th.
SfKIOUS ACCIDENT
RAD BANDON BOOZE
HOSE SITE CHOSEN
LUCKILY AVERTED
DEALS DRUNKEN DEATH
FDD 00R CITY HALL
R H Mast and wife, accompa­
nied by Postmaster Liuegar, wife
and child were taking a joy ride in
Mr. Mast's auto Sunday that came
near proving disastrous.
When
coming down the Fait view mount­
ain, about one mile aud a hall the
other side of the poor farm the
automobile encountered a stump in
the road with a lorce sufficient to
break the front axle aud throw Mr.
Liuegar forward to the ground.
Mr. Liuegar was not seriously hurt,
as were none of the occupants.
Mrs. Mast, however, sustained a
severe shaking up and was some
what bruised and suffered more than
the others.
It was dark when coining dov/n
the hill; the lights weie in place,
and Mr Mast had taken the pre­
caution to not only apply the brakes
but was traveling upon the slowest
speed.
The mountain at the place of the
accident, as well as elsewhere, has
nine toot plauks in the roadway,
many being slipped out of place
which alone makes it difficult for
guiding a machine.
A tree had fallen over the road
during the winter and some boys—
no intelligent roadmaster would do
it— had cut the tree so that two
feet or more protruded over the
plank. This left less than seven
feet of roadway. Weeds growing
on the upper side rendered the ob­
struction impossible to be seen even
in daylight.
Under these conditions it can be
readily observed that the fault of
the accident is not the carelessness
of Mr. Mast-—ft is chargeable only
to those officials whose duty it is to
keep the highways in repair.
Better watchfulness of our roads
by supervisors will serve the two­
fold purpose of making traveling
more secure aud render the county
less liable to damages.
Laird's Auto Line Popular
J. L. Laird of the Myrtle Poiot-
Roseburg stage line informs us that
he carried one hundred passengers
over his line laet week with his
automobiles. There are now five
thirty and forty horse-power Buick
cars used on the route, four passen­
gers being carried in each car. The
travel over his popular route has
increased to such proportions that
advance orders are necessary to ac­
commodate his patrons. The roads
are in fairly good condition, seven
hours being required to make the
run including one-hour stop for din­
ner. Expert and careful chauffoura
are employed, thus assuring safety.
Stages also carrying passengers and
baggage and mail leave same time
as the autos. An advertisement
elsewhere gives the hours of de­
parture and arrival.

Popular Hotel Man Calls at Coquille

but could give no reason' lor it
There was no obstruction upon the
sidewalk, and many conflicting ru­
mors are afloat regarding the case.
Bruises were found upon the tight
ear and cheek and physicians testi
fled before the coroner’s jury that
death resulted from the neck being
bioken, aud that the braises might
have resulted by the fall.
The coroner’s jury rendered a
verdict to the effect that Charles C.
Hadley came to his death from
some violent cause to them un­
know, aud recommended an inves­
tigation by the grand jury.
The body was shipped to Co-
quille and taken to Elliagsen’s un
taking parlors awaiting instructions
from relatives.

Knowlton’s New Pharmacist
E. J. Smith, a pharmacist of Med­
ford, Oregcn, is familiarizing him­
self with Knowlton’s drug store
preparatory to assuming the duties
of an employe. Mr. Smith has had
five years’ experience in the busi­
ness, is a graduate of our own Ore­
gon University, nnd is an affable and
courteous gentleman— traits and
characteristics requisite to fill the
vacancy madp by Owen Knowlton
who leaves for San Fraocisco on the
19th of this moDth for a two year
course in the California College of
Pharmacy. Our physiological in­
stincts lead us to believe Mr Smith
wilt be a valuable man to . Mr.
Knowlton as well as a good citizen
in our community.
Owen Knowlton goes to San
Francisco with a determination to
learn aud master pharmacy. That
he will win there is no doubt.
George T. Moulton, our local
dealer in cascara bark and other
commodities, received an order s
few days since from It. P. Williams
of Perez, Vera Cruz, Mexico, for a
quantity of cascara bark to be ad­
ministered to the sick in his house­
hold. A Mexican money order was
sent in payment of the same and
was as difficult to decipher as the
causes continually at work in the
tumultuous government.
The cas-
cars bark was forwarded by express
and it is hoped its medicinal prop­
erties will produce results desired.
