Hauling Brick for Creamery
B. L. Tracy, the brick and tile mag
nate o f Arago, was in town for a few
hours on business Thursday.
Mr.
Tracy has the only brick and tile plant
in Ihe Coquille valley which uses native
clay and the production of his plant is
about 16,000 feet o f tile a month and
from 150.000 to 200,000 brick a year.
He employs from three to eight men.
At present Mr. Tracy is hauling brick
to be used in the construction o f the
new creamery o f the Coquille Valley
Creamery company. As a progressive
citizen and a booster for better agri cul
tural methods for this county, Mr.
Tracy has donated 1000 feet o f drain
tile to be used as one o f the prizes in
the corn show this fall.
This makes a
very attractive award and will doubt
less call forth some strong competition.
Mr. Tracy also has an exhibit prepared
for the Myrtle Point and State fairs.

A farewell bonfire party was given
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Linrgar by Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. S. Davis on their ranch
between here and Norway last Wed-
ne day evening. A large number o f
friends were present both from town
and the country and an enjoyable time
was had. In the light of huge log fires
and the lamps o f automobiles a supper
o f enormous proportions was spread on
the ground, which relieves the writer
from the duty o f saying that the tables
groaned under the load. Mother earth
bore the burden uncomplainingly.
A
feature o f the supper was the roasting
ears supplied from the fields o f sur
rounding farms.

meal and spending several hours in
pleasant conversation the party broke
