COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1916. standards are the lots that will win in competition. Since commercial potatoes have ap proximately the same qualities as the exhibition lots, it will be seen that an effort should be made to grow such po tatoes. They are the best for the trade because they are the best in com petitive exhibits, and in order to grow them in commercial lots it is necessary to select seed having the same general characteristics. While the main point in the seed po tatoes should be the same as in the best exhibits it would be impossible to secure them altogether for the reason that the exhibit stock is selected from the entire amount of potatoes grown whereas the seed is selected hill by hill. O f course it is not feasible to get a hill o f potatoes as nearly perfect as a single potato, but this should be the standard and the ideal. The hills which bear largely of potatoes approxi mating the exhibit type is the hill to select and plant from. Here again the value o f this will be seen when it comes to putting the crop of potatoes on the market. The dealer will look to see whether the Burbanks are really Burbanks or something else or a mixture o f two or three varieties. They will also know the general char acteristics of the potato and will ex amine to see if the lot generally cor responds to the proper type. They will see that the potatoes are sufficiently matured to keep well, and are sound without bruises, cavities or disease spot. They will see if the potatoes are o f medium size for the variety anu free o f knobs, hollow places, deep eyes and other indications of inferiority causing waste in preparing them for food. Not one single speck o f disease should be allowed on any o f the selected tubers, for a tew such spots will dis qualify the whole lot in an exhibit and in planting will spread the disease in the next year’ s crop. Scab is easily seen and recognized. Rhyzoctoma looks somewhat like a spot o f black earth that cannot be washed from the potato, making black circles near the end that can be seen on the outside only from the closest observation but is rather plain when the potato is cut open. Disappointment for the exhibitor, the grower, is almost sure to come to the one who fails to observe these sim ple rules.

The Marshfield bakers have announc ed a reduction in the size o f their loaves o f bread. Whereas the ten cent loaf formerly weighed 24 ounces in the dough they will be reduced to 22 ounces and the five cent loaves will be reduced accordingly. Coquille bakers so far have not reached the extreme where they have cut their loaves to 2i ounces, although part of them have re duced to 23 ounces. Engineer S. C. Lancaster, who was sent here by C. S. Jackson o f the Port land Journal to make a preliminary survey o f a skyline roadway between North Bend and Marshfield, and who has been assisted by Engineer Elliott and his crew, has completed the work and left Friday for his home in Port land. Mr. Lancaster will furnish maps o f the survey so that there will be something on which to start out with a view o f putting through the road. The plan has the approval o f moat persons. —Times. There is yet hope for the surveying o f the highway through Lane county to the coast, and thence to Coos Bay, ac cording to a letter received by Rav Goodrich, chief o f the roads and high ways bureau o f the Eugene Chamber o f Commerce, from John H. Lewis, state engineer. Mr. Lewis notified Mr. Goodrich that the next meeting of the state highway commission will be held at Salem on Thursday, November 2, at 10 a. in., and at that time the commission will take up the matter of the permanent survey o f the proposed highway from the bay to Eugene by wav of Florence. This proposition was turned down by the advisory board of the commission 10 days ago. For Better “Spuds” Corvallis, Ore. (Soecial)—Although the vital factors o f good seed potatoes arc few and easily learned, not many persons know and practice these essen tials in selecting their potatoes for seed or for exhibition, reports the O. A. C. specialist who has been called upon to judge potatoes at numerous Oregon fairs and potato shows. The leading points o f good quality in potatoes are as follow s: True to name, true to type, made mature, sound without bruises or cav ities, uniform in size, medium size for the variety with shallow eyes and smooth skin, free from disease and in sect injuries, firm and sound. Experienced judges score potatoes in any competition on a very definite ba sis, the most important items o f which are the foregoing.

Moose Celebrate Anniversary The Coquille Moose lodge celebrated their first anniversary at their rooms on Front street Thursday evening. About ninety members and guests were present and the event was an uncon ditional success from beginning to end. In honor o f the event O. S. Torrey, steward o f the Marshfield Moose Club and founder of the Coquille lodge, and Dictator Robert Dillard, o f the Marsh field lodge, were present and both ad dressed those assembled on matters pertaining to the Moose lodge. Mr. Torrey went into an interesting and de tailed discussion o f Moose Heart, a town that is managed and financed by the Mooie lodge. A fter listening to the talks the Coquille lodge, through dictator Aaron Wilson, presented Mr. Torrey with a splendid loving cup as a token o f their appreciation o f Mr. Tor- rey’ s services in organizing the lodge here. Mr. Torrey was taken very much by surprise and it was with diffi culty that he found words to ex press his appreciation. F’ inally giving it up he said: “ All that I will say is (ladies please pardon my French) that you are a damn bully bunch o f good fellow s.” Music and games occupied the re mainder o f the evening and at 11:30 p. m. the men o f the lodge served a sup per that was very much above reproach. A fter supper the games were resumed until a late hour. One of the most novel o f the games indulged in was a football game in which Mr. Torrey and Mr. Dillard were captains o f the two teams. The game consisted in trying to blow a'celluloid ball through minia ture goal posts erected upon a table.

Mr. Bowmar’ s body was recovered the night the acci dent occurred; but the miners worked unceasingly until the next night before they recovered the bodies o f the other two.
