TAX CASE ENDED
SUPREME COURT RENDERS
DECISION FAVORABLE
TO COOS.
At Snlom Inst week the State Su
pnemc Court decided ft case that ris of
a oo(l deal of interest to Coos county
Tim question involved wan whether
the land claimed by the Southern Or
egon Company, as .successor to the
Coos Bay Wagon Road Company, are
sulijcct to the payment of taxes while
a suit for tho annulment of the land
grant of the company is pending in
the federal courts
There is now in the hands of Treas
urer Dimmick, of this county, a few
dollars short of $100,000 in taxes paid
in ly this company in the past two
ycr.rs on the lands it claims in Coos
covnty, which according to this dcci
sion rightfully belongs to the county,
though they were paid in by the Com
pany with a claim that the final dis
position of the money should await
the decision ns to whether the lands
have been forfeited to the United
Stutcs or are the property of the com
paiy,
Tho case that was decided was one
in which the Southern Oregon Com
pany is plaintiff and George K.

FILLING THE LUNGS.
Correct and Deep Breathing Is Essen
tial to Good Health.
No pleco of ndvlco the physician can
glvo will bear more frequent repetition
than the pithy sentence, "Breathe
deeply." It Is a pcrfecUy simple rule
of health, yet It Is constantly broken.
Thero are two wars to learn to
breathe. If our powers ot self disci
pline are poor, as Is tho case with most
insufficient breathers. It Is a good plan
to Join a gymnasium or callsthenlc class
and learn to use the lungs as n baby
learns to use its feet and hnnds. But
remember that lessons In breathing
will do no good If the scholar thinks lie
Is absolved from his task except when
he la in tho class.
A simpler method for thoso who
haro not time or opportunity to at
tend n gymnasium Is to turn life's dally
routine la to n continuous discipline in
breathing. If tho poor breather takes
tho troublo to wntcii himself carefully
ho will find that when he is cniroced
upon any work that calls for close at
tention he does not even breathe as
deeply ns usual: ho almost Invariably
holds his breath. Thus the blood cur
rent Is vitiated when It ought to be
cleansed, and tho worker exhausts
himself, not so much by his labors as
by his neglect
Draw In deep drafts of air every
time you take a breath, and overy lit
tle while stop everything olso and 11 1 1
your lungs a fow Union with breaths
that test their capacity. You will bo
surprised to see tho improvement that
It will make in your general condition.

COQUILLE TEAMS TAKE
BOTH BASKET BALL GAMES
Tho last basket ball games of tho
season were played in Bandon Fridny
night when tho Bandon High School
and tho Bandon All Stars played thc
Coquillc teams.
In thc High School game Coquillc
won by tho score of 21 to 10 nnd tho
Coquillo All Stars won by tho score
of 21 to 19. .
Both games were closely contested
ns tho scores will show, and nlthough
there was no particularly brilliant
work on the part of anyone, the
gnmes were well worth going to see
All wcro good stendy games and
especially in the All Stars game thc
result was at nil times in doubt.
In thc High School game, while
Coquillo succeeded in doubling thc
Bandon scoro the gnmo was n good
one, and only for somo bad luck thc
result might have been closer.
This ends the basket ball for this
season, with North Bend thc winner
of thc Coos County championship,
they having lost only one game.
Bandon is in thc cnllnr, having woi
btlt one game, although a number of
them wore lost by only one or two
points.
