W E F To the patrons of the Coquille High School: We are at the hegining of another school year and are anxious to make it of the most possible benefit to the students ol the Coquille High School. To tbis end we solicit your co-operation in carrying out the plans of the year. The course we have mapped out for our students this year is a strong one. The week will be heavy as' we believe it should be. The great er the effort put forth by each in dividual student, the greater will be the benefit which he will derive from the year’s work. In order ti do well the work laid out in a regular high school course, the students should do from two to four hours home study each day. Unless you know that your boy or girl is doing this home work, you will realize that he is getting but a small part of the benefit the school can give him, and that he will be very likely fail to make a passing grade in at least a part of his work Parties, hall, pictures shows and other aflfaiis that take the boys and girls out at night during the school week are exceedingly detrimental to the efifectivetiveuess of their work In seeing to it that the students under your control take part in those affairs only on Friday or Sat urday night, you will be doing tjjem the greatest possible service so far as their school work is con cerned. Trusting that you will join your efforts with ours in making this a valuable year for your children, we are Sincerely yours, A, J. M. Robertson, Principal C. A. Howard, Superintendent. Six of the chief officers ol the corporations intereste d in the con struction of the Willamette Pacific Railway from Eugene to Coos Bav were in Marshfield last Friday, having come in on a tour ol iuspection over the line. The party consisted G. W. Volckman, vice president and general manager for McArthur Brothers and Perks Co.; F. C. Hitchcock, vice president and manager oi the United States branch of theCompany; II P Hoey, resident engineer of the Southern Pacific and in charge o1 all work in Ore^oh; Johnson P Porter, of Porter Bros., who is in charge of the real construction work on the line; W. R. Fountaine, the engin eer who is overseAng the work for the Southern Pacific; Thomas Dix on, supervising engineer for the company. In interviews with the Marshfield papers, these gentlemen gave as surance that the line would be completed to Coos Bay next year. Mr. Hitchcock said lli-t there was no question whatever but the road would be completed without interruption The MacArthur Bros, and Perks company have the contract to complete the road, and the Southern Pa cific is even now asking for more hurry on the job He said that work will Ire prosecuted all winter at this end of the line, although not so many men would be employed after bad weather interferes with the dirt grading. Regular 1 Bains will be operating from Eugene to tidewater on the Siuslaw some tipie next spring. The Wind creek tunnel on the line, on which work will continue all winter, will be completed in ten or eleven months. None of these men would express au opinion as to when the line will be extended south irom Coos Bay- H ow ard Elliott Rose From $40 A M on th to $100,000 a Year Home Telephone Company Busy on Improvements "W e are in this fight to a finish, regardless of results, we have just begun to fight.” This is the message "which Colo nel Roosevelt sent to the Progres si vl j in the House of Representa tives upon the organization of their Congressional campaign committee -This committee was organized to take special charge ol the Cougress Packers estimate that the Doug* campaign next year.
