FOR COQUILLE MAYOR Tho Coquillo Sentinel of last week says: "Mayor Morrison, bofore his de parture for California, informed us that he had satisfied himself that pe titions for his recall were in circu lation. These emanate from the li quor dealers whose places were clos ed on the first because the council refused to license them any longer. Councilmen Sanford and Skools are said to ho included in the recall movement, and tho opreontngo of tho voters required to insure a re call election will probably bo easily secured. - In Mayor Morrison' cane however, the movome'it is very pro mature, as an official intuit have hold olllco a certain length of time (six months wo believe) before recall pimvedlugH can bo initiated.

STUDENTS AT OREGON SUMMER SCHOOL i University of Oregon, Eugene Coos county representatives, usually numerous and prominent around the campus of tho University of Oregon, generally manage to make them selves scarco in Eugeno in summer.

The summer school dele gation this year consists of C. T. Kronenberg, of Fairview, and Gretch cn Sherwood of Coquillo. Both are taking teachers' courses, Mr. Kron enberg specializing in higher miilho mntlcs, and Miss Sherwood in Eng lish and library methods.

HAD GOOD MPRESSON this manner. They had a very ex citing experience rtno morning when they surprised a herd of seal, getting between them and the deep water on the sandspit where the seals had come out to rest. They estimated that there were over 500 in the herd, They used up all the ammunition they had and attacked them with their knives, tilso using their guns as clubs. The seals made desperate ef forts to get back into the water, vie iously attacking the men. One suc ceeded in biting Roye through the hand, ho having to use his rifle to pry the mouth of the seal open so as to release Ins hand. Before thov could get on" 'the sandspit tiie hunt ers succeeded in killing fifty, and probably as many more were so wounded that they will die. Had the ammunition held Out the two men think they would have destroyed as many more. Since that .time the seals have become scarcer, and, it is thought they are leaving for other haunts. It is said that during the run of salmon that one seal will des troy five salmon each day, besides keeping the fish from entering tho river. Already at this rate there will be a saving of 1000 salmon a day. Unipqua Courier. PORT Oil FORD'S OLDEST RES- I DENT COMMITS SUICIDE Julius A. II. Kock committed sui cide by shooting himself at his home in Port Orford last Wednesday af ternoon, July 1, 1011. The act did not como as a surprise to tho friends of Mr. Koch as ho had been in very poor health for several months past and for the last few days prccedine, his death had been suffering intense ly from an incurable malady and bad told several that he intended lo end his troubles. Friends had planned to take his arms away frmo him that night but he forestalled thicr act. Bo tween It and f o'clock in the afternoon he had gone into the back room of his house, opened the door so as to have better light, and placed the niuz z,lo of an old 11 rim fire rifle 'in his mouth and touched the trigger off witli a ram rod. The bullet passed through his head and lodged in the ceiling. Death was instantaneous. He was last seen alive by B. W. Dean and was found dead by W. T. White, Sr. The deceased was born in Prus sia in February, 1821, and landed at New Orleans in 18-M, where ho en listed in the Mexican war under tho name of Walter Evans, through which lie served He followed the sea most of his life, and came to Cape Blanco in 1S71 on the schooner that brought 'ho lumber for the light house at that ..lace He has since resided in this oction mostly on Elk river and in I'ort Ouford. Ho was a genial warm hearted man, and until his last sick ness overtook him, enjoyed remark dily good health, lie was the oldest resident of tho town, and is believed io have been tho last Mexican war veteran alive in the county.

GREAT INCREASE IN COOS WEALTH OVER LAST YEAR County Assessor Thrift says he feels like congratulating the people of Coos county on tho great increase in wealth over last year, as shown by tho new assessment. Ho has just completed footing the money returns and finds that while our 20,000 and odd people had only $0,850 cash on hand a year ago, this year wo have gone gaily past tho next milestone and it now takes fivs figures to ex press our wealth of this sort. This year's figures are $10,809. Just how wo manage to do all our business with that amount of cash is not clear ly evident, however. Coquille Sen tinel.

L. Smith. county agriculturalist, who were in Bandon yesterday, informed a rep resentative of The Recorder that Coos county had more cow testing associations than any other countv on tho coast and more than any oth- r county in the United States, ex cepting Onieda county, N Y., which has five, and Coos county also has five, The object of thec owtestincr asso ciations is to give each dairyman an opportunity to keep a record of all his cows and learn which ones are profitable and which ones are not, thue giving him an onnortunitv to et rid of his scrub and get in a line ot tho very best cows to bo had. lo assist in this work. Geo. John son, a graduate of the four-year dairy courso in O. A. C, has been tppointed official cow tester of tho Coquille Valley, with 2(5 dairy herds 'ii nis district. He spends one day on each farm every month, kecnine- n cecord of what each cow does, and jy tins method the dairy man knows iust where his herd stands all the time. There are about G50 cows in the !G dairy herds under the supervis- on of Mr. Johnson, and it is hoped io increase this number to 1000 or iver during the present season. There aro four uood dairy breeds that aro profitable In this section. lliey are Jerseys, Holsteins. Aver- iliires and Guernesys. Prof. Graves says any of these uoeds are profitable with but little or no choico among them as to breed, but the tdeu is to get the best ows of a certain breed and stay with them. GAME WARDEN GETS BIG COUGAR IN CURRY CO. Game Warden J. M. Thomas, who ins been in Curry county the past 10 lays looking after game violators killed a cougar last week measuring IVi feet in length.

Warner, wore traveling a trail on Johnson mountain at the Siskyou for est reserve when the cougar crossed the trail between the two men, Mr. Thomas being close enough to kick it. The dog they had with them hud ilready scented it was close by and on striking the trail soon had it up a tree. Mr. Warner, who was carry- ng a rifllo handed the same to War- Ion Thomas who killed him with a sin- glo shot. This is the first cougar Mr. lhomas had ever seen in tho woods and he is greatly elated over vilhng it. He will have itm ounted.
