According to a well informed logger
the mills of Coos bay will, when all get
in shape after being rebuilt and en
larged, require a daily log shipment of
900,000 feet. This will be quite a gain

chines with a capacity of about 200,000
shingles per day.—Times.

"We have entered upon the third
year of the most stupendous and epoch
making war in the world's history, the
results of which cast shadows on the
future, which we must read and inter
pret aright if we wish to save the lum
ber industiy from being consigned to
the melting pot, with all that the term
implies,” said Mr. Flewelling.
"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. In the
United States, forexample, the South
ern timbermen with their black $1 a
day labor are competing recklessly
against our Western $3 a day white la
bor. We must stop this because true
conservation is needed, and only by se
curing a fair price and paying our em
ployes a fair price for their labor can
the industry be made profitable.—Port

Splendid Progress Made by

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.

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.
