SUSPECT IS
ARRESTED
Man Suspected of Myrtle
Point Bank Robbery Taken
.Into Custody.
Night Marshal Cessna arrested a
man at Prosper last night who may
prove to he one o( the men who
robbed the hank at Myrtle Point,
a. id at any rate the man is u-apted
on the .outside on some charge, and
will he held, whether or not any
thing develops in the rohbery case.
That the man was trying to hide
his identity is clear from the fact
that he carried two aliases; some
times giving his nrtme as Smith and
other times as Vauljri.
The at rest was made last ..night at
Prosper by Night Marshall Cessna.
The man had been staving in the
Gregorv rooming house this week,
but it appears that his wife and child
were at Prosper at least part of the
time. Yesterday he made one or
two trips Irani here to Prosper in a
launch and each time left Ins launch
over to the Moore mill instead ol
bringing it down to the city dock.
City Marshal Holman had re
ceived a communication from Sheriff
Cage to arrest the man as he was
wanted on the outside, even if he
had nothing to do- with the bank
robbery. Holman kept watch for
him yesterday and at one tini" saw
him cross the street but he again
disappeared and went to Prosper.
Holman then followed him to the
up river town, but when tie got
there found that he h id returned to
Bandon with his wife and child, but
he did not remain here, returning
to Prosper almost at once, and last
night he was taken into custody by
Night Maishal Cessna who went up
the river to get him.
Smith, Vauhn, or whatever his
name was, with his wife and child,
was taken to Coquille this morning
and will be held awaiting further
developments.

Road Booster Organization

In a recent issue of the Del Norte

tion that the counties of Coos, Curry
and Del Norte stand together in a
united effcrt for a Pacific Coast
Highway. The suggestion is a good
one, and the time was never more
auspicious than it is. now. During
the next two years the attention of
the world will be ca lied to the Paci
fic Qoast states, and thousands of
automobiles will be touring through
them. A more scenic ride under as
lavorable climetic conditions cannot
be found anywhere as the one along
our coast, where the winter winds
are warm and the summer winds

and influential men of Oregon and
California own automobiles and these

will maintain an information bureau
at London and New York to keep
it advised as to market conditions
and prices, It is estimated that
through such organization at least
$75,000 per year can be saved to
the growers in the matter of supplies
which could be bought in wholesale
quantities, and an additional $125,-
000 in commissions which have
heretofore been paid to middlemen
for'disposing of the crop.

TO DIVIDE
GO. BONDS
Coquille, Or., Dec. 3. At the
meeting of the Coos County . Good
Roads Association here last night
a resolution was adopted favoring
the calling of a special election to
vote $440,000 bonds for permanent
road building, providing it would be
apportioned as follows:
$70,000 for a road from North
Bend via Cooston and adjoining
sections to Ten Mile.
$270,000 for improving the road
from Coos Hay via Coquille and
Myrtle Point to Bridge and vicinity,
$100,000 for improving the road
from Bandon to the Curry county
line.
The action was taken after rather
a spirited discussion and a commit
tee was instructed to confer with the
Coos county commissioners today
; about the calling of the special elec-
tion.
There was a good attendance at
the meeting.
The good roads meeting, was one
ol'the most largely attended ever
held in the county and the session
was most animated, the debate being
very spirited between representatives
of the diffeient parts of the county.
The North Bend and Ten Mile dele- '
gation wanted $150,000 for that
road and finally the compromise was
made to recommend $70,000 for it.
It was agreed that after allowing
Ten "Mile $70,000 and Bandon $100,
000 that the balance should be used
between Marshfield and Bridge, the
work to be started simultaneously
at Marthfield,oquiye, Myrtle Point
and Bridge. Coos Bay Times.
