bably be spent where the roads were
graded, with no funds available when
Coos county announced herself as pro­
perly prepared.
An amendment to Mr. Howard’s
motion was offered by F. B. Phillips
that the investigating committee be
authorized to draw on Coquille Com­
mercial Club for not to exceed $50 for
expenses.
This amendment was carried by a
small majority but when the amended
motion was put there was not a single
vote in its favor.
Mr. Howard then moved that the
chair appoint a representative to m
with the investigation committee the
first of the week and report back to
the club what action was taken. Thi;
motion was unanimously carried and
the president has appointed Leo J.
Cary, who has consented to act.
That the “croakers” who know but
little about the truth of the stories
they repeat, would bear none of the
investigation expense, while those
who are better posted and find no
fault with road affairs would have to
stand the expense, was the point most
frequently made by the many men
present who expressed themselves.

Andy Davis Promoted.
Coos county friends have received
word that Andy P. Davis, former lum­
ber inspector and later deputy sheriff
here, has been promoted to supervisor
of the Washington Inland district, em­
bracing about 43 mills.
He is mak­
ing his headquarters at Seattle. He
says that the I. W. W. have raised
havoc with a number of plants for the
time being.
No poles have as yet been received
for the high power line of the Oregon
Power Company but the work of dig­
ging the holes is still going ahead
without interruption and there is
little delay because of their non-arri­
val. Manager McKenna stated this
morning that he had been promised a
raft of poles this week and that the
work of setting them will begin im­
mediately upon the arrival of the first
raft. The new foreman of line con­
struction, J. A. Hammond, arrived
Saturday and is now in charge of the
work. All the wire for the line has
now been received and is ready for
the poles. Replying to a question re­
garding to continuous power when the
new line is up Manager McKenna
stated that a new unit is now on the
way for the power plant at the Smith
mill which will carry as big a load
as the two units now in use and that
in the event of the failure of one
plant the other will be immediately
switched on so there will be little or
no danger of a failure of power. Also
the local plant will remain for a time
for emergency work so Coquille is

seriously for County Judge Watson’s
statement several weeks ago showed
that Myrtle Point roads were getting
a large share of county money.
The Myrtle Point “port” scheme
that was put across is proof enough
that the interest there, is all a local
interest, not an interest for the coun­
ty as a whole. Isn’t that “port” a
stinger ? I have not read or seen any

are kicking about. Why did they not
