"During the world war, Germany, France and England, by reason of the necessity for haste and because of Che lack of ships, have cut and used nearly every available tree within their bor ders which would make lumber for purposes of war. So while our export lnmber trade has been curtailed some what, the world’s available supply of trees and lumber has been enormously decreased. “ With peace will begin a new era in the lumber industry. Cities which have been destroyed will have to be rebuilt and rebuilt quickly; docks, warehouses, bridges, wooden ships, cement forms, railroad cars, and innumerable other things will require such an immense volume of wood products that our ca pacity will be overtaxed to meet the foreign demand. “ What we need now is greater co operation, not only among ourselves but with the government as well to meet the needs of the future.

DEAD MANHASWIFEAND CHILD COOSONIANS TO GO ID POINT Will Advertise Corn Show and Help Attract Crowd for “Peleg and Peter PER YEAR $1.50 ers during the summer months and its winter carnival, which begins about Christmastime, attracts thousands dur ing the snow period. Preparations are already under way for the season of winter sports this year. There will be skiing, toboganning, the ice carnival and the sleighrides to historic Lake Donner again this year, and the inter est created by the city rinks in skating is expected to add greatly to the num ber of Truckee visitors. ■--------------------- ------------------------------------ RELIEF AND HAY SINK AT WHARF Receding Tide and Protrud ing Piling Cause Great Amount of Trouble Knights to Assist BAND MAY ACCOMPANY THEM Splendid Progress Made by Both Organizations The Coosonians will get into actioii Thursday night for the purpose of ad vertising the Corn Show and also for the purpose of assisting the home talent play, “Peleg and Peter” in securing a good audience when they put the show on at Myrtle Point at that time. The play will be put on in the evenii.g and it is the plan of the marching club to go to Myrtle Point late in the after noon and give a marching exhibition on the streets, thus calling attention to the show as well as the Korn Karnival. The Coosonians will probably be accom panied by the band, or as many mem bers of the band as will be able to get away at that time and taken together they make a fine showing. The march ing club expects to have their uniforms by that time; but it is not known for sure that they will. The Coosonians have been drilling faithfully for the past six weeks and now are beginning to reach a degree of perfection which makes it possible for them to make public appearances. Drill Master G. E. Low has been on the job every night that he could pos sibly get enough men together to make drilling practicable, and it is greatly owing to his efforts that the club have become proficient in the short time that they have been working. Not the least part of the entertain ment which they intend to give the people of Myrtle Point Thursday will be the music furnished by the band, which is also a newly organized body. With the new instruments which they have purchased, a goodly turn out to every practice, lots of enthusiasm and with the able leadership of VV. J. Long- ston, the band has, in a surprisingly short time, reached the point where they are gaining praise from all who have the good fortune to hear them play. While the Corn Show will be held here, the people of Myrtle Point are as interested in the growing of good corn in the Coquille valley as anyone else, and a great many of them are expected to come here during the carnival. The play which will be given at Myrtle Point Thursday night was well patronized and well spoken of when it played here some time ago. It was also successfully produced at Sumner. It was the intention of the cast to go to Bandon the night following the play at Myrtle Point; but a failure to make arrangements has necessitated the changing of plans and no definite date has been decided upon. The Cooson ians will probably accompany them there also. Dollars Visit The Koos Kounty Knights of the Grip held a meeting in Marshfield Sat urday at which arrangements were made to assist in the entertainment at the Corn Show here November 10 and 11. It has not been made public just what their part of the program will consist of but those who know this or ganization are expecting something good. Besides making arrangements for the Corn Show they elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Chief Knight, E. P. Lewis; First As sistant, W. H. Kennedy and Robert Dillard; for Second Knight, Matt L. May; for Third Knight, F. V. Catter- lin; for Secretary, J. W. Gardiner; for Treasurer, Eugene Crosthwait; for Di rectors, C. W. Cumbers and F. E. Allen. On motion of Jim Seavens, it was de cided to double the pay of the officers. They have been getting nothing and will get twice nothing now. N. T. C. Club Meets The N. T. C. club were entertained at a Slumber party at the C. E. Schroe- der home near Norway Friday night, with Marion Schroeder as hostess. The living room and dining room of the Schroeder home were beautifully decorated with autumn leaves. A splendid four-course luncheon was serv ed during the course of the evening. Stories were told about the fire place, several readings were rendered, flash light pictures were taken, and through the entire evening music made merry. Those present were Marion Schroe der, Winnie Curry, Verna Mast, Mary Levar, May Lund, Leta Clinton, Mrs. Gene Schroeder, and Cecile Hoffmann. — ■ ■ -- Street Case Decided Judge Coke yesterday decided the street case of Mrs. Mary Toates vs. the City of Coquille in favor of the appel lant. The case arose over the dispute of whether or not part of the property owned by Mrs. Toates was in reality a city street, the contention being that the father of Oscar Wickham had, while he owned the property, dedicated a portion of it to the city for stseet purposes. The city was unable to prove that such a dedication had been made and the decision gives the present owners, to whom Mrs. Toates has sold the property since starting the suit, right to the disputed portion. The property is located in the north end of town. Died SMITH—At Riverton, Oct. 26, 1916, Mrs. Sarah Serena Smith. Mrs. Sarah Serena Smith was the wife of Walter Smith and was born at Adrin, Lassen county, California,March 11, 1892. She has lived with her hus band on their farm about three miles below Riverton for a number of years and has many friends in that commun ity who will mourn her death. She had been ill for some time and her death was not unexpected. Mrs. Smith is survived by her husband and three small children.

I WILL BEACH BOATS ON SAND May Had Mail and Other Valuables on ,'oard The steamer Relief and the gasoline launch May were sunk at the municipal dock here last night when the side of the Relief was hung up on a piling cf the wharf and the tide went out caus ing the steamer to turn on her side. The May was anchored to the side of the Relief that was submerged and was carried under with her. The two boats were moored last night, the one to the dock and the other to the side of the boat. Some time early this morning as the tide was going out, the boat, being unable to lower with the water except on the river Bide, became top heavy and overbalanced. When they were found this morning the May was almost en tirely submerged and the Relief was all under water with the exception of part of the upper deck and was lying as far over on her side as the moorings would permit. The Teddy Bear, the Beaver and the Myrtle are working with the two boats in an effort to get them across the river where they may be beached on tne sand bar so that they may be pumped out when the tide is sufficiently low. It is thought that the boats have sus tained no other damage than that done by the water. There were several sacks of mail on the May and they were taken from the cabin this morn ing when the boat was partly floated. The Relief, which is owned by Dave Perkins, is a new boat and was built here last spring. Since then it has been on the run between Coquille and Bandon. The May is owned by W. H. Hull and was engaged in carrying the mail be tween here and Bandon. Mr. Hull stated tnat besides the mail there were a number of records of considerable value on board, many of which were either lost or destroyed by the water. Our Own Bill The Eugene Morning Register recent ly severely criticised the passage of the Adamson bill, and among other things stated that “ the reason for this con temptible exhibition of cowardice was that an election is approaching and the President of the United States and the members of Congress permitted the possible effect on their own political fortunes to outweigh the best interests of the nation.—The Eugene Guard says; “ What an indictment by a Republican newspaper of a Republican member of Congress who is a candidate for re-elec tion! Congressman Hawley—our own Bill— not only failed to lift his voioe in protest against this shametul act, this dangerous precedent, hut actually voted for the measure because he was a “cow ard,” and because he was "animated by fear for his own political fortunes, instead of by an earnest desire to guard the welfare of all the people,” includ ing his constituents of the first con gressional district of Oregon. How can the Register consistently ask the people of Lane county to support such a man.—Coos Bay News. Locked Himself "in Tuesday night J. W. Leneve was en gaged until a late hour with book work at the post office. Coming from the office into the lobby he shut the office door which locks with a spring lock. He had no sooner done this than he realized he had left his keys laying on the office desk. At the same time he discovered that the nightwatchman had locked the front door, and that he was a prisoner. He could neither get back into the office nor get out the door, so the only thing to do wag to play a wait ing game. After a quarter of an hour’s wait Nightwatchman Jackson appeared on the scene and released the trapped postmaster. 4 4 ♦ 4 + ♦ ♦ 4* 4* 4* 4 4* 4* 4 4 4 4 4 -4 4 - 4 4 * 4 4 4 -4 4 4 4 4 ♦ BANK D EP O S IT S REVEAL * P R O S P E R I T Y OF F A R M E R S . ♦ 4 T h a t t h e f a r m e r is g e t t i n g a ♦ g e n a r o u s « h a r e of t h e n a t i o n a l 4 p r o s p e r i t y , la e v i d e n c e d by pr o- 4* lim inary reports from s e v e n 4* s t a t e s , r s c e n t l y filed w i t h t h e + C o m p t r o l l e r o f t h e C u r r e n c y , in 4 W ashington.
