COQUILLE TO BE MADE .
THE DRYEST OF THE DRY
Attorney L. A. Liljeqvist is work
ing on a line-up for a city ordinance
make effective the dryness re
cently decided upon by tho Coquille
City Council and the majority of the
citizens. If ho works it out ns he
has it in mind it will bb a corker and
will make tho business f bootlegging
an exceedingly precarious occupation
besides causing moro or less .incon
venience for those who like to have
the materials for a little private jag
where they can lay their hands upon
them. Here aie somo of the .things
that it is proposed to make unlawful:
To sell, give away, deliver or furi-
ish liquor to another person.
To have it in possession with the
intent to furnish it to any other per
son, the possession of more than a
quart of distilled or moro than a
gallon of malt liquors being made
pr miafacio evidence of such intent.
For anyone but a railroad or ex
press company or common carrier
to transport liquor into or through
tho town, or for a common carrier
t deliver a shipment of liquor to
any ono but tho consignee in person.
To keep or store liquor at your
place of business or on premises ad
jacent thereto.
To exhibit or drink liquor in n pub
lic place.
To solicit orders fqr liquor for
future delivery whether such orders
are to be filled from lnsido or out
sido of tho town.
Along with this will go a provi
sion for a search warrant that will
onablo the officers to find any liquor
that may bo concealed on the prom
Ikur outsldo of Uio anatomy of the
possessor. ,
Coquille stands in a little different
position from that of other towns
of the county from the fact that, she
has it provision In the churter which
gives the Council power to iiitiku it
unlawful "to give nwiiy, ilollvnr or

"LuOlLLE LOVfi, THE GIRL
OF MYSTERY," AT GRAND
The sixth of tho "Lucille" pictures,
Hugo Loubcquc, an international spy
has stolen certain valuable documents
of state from General Sumpter Love
the stolen papers to be used
ruining the General. To save her
father's honor from tarnish, Lucille
Love, tho General's daughter, under
takes to regain possession of the
documents single-handed. After
series of thrilling chases over land
and sea and after she has regained
tho papers, Lucille is picked up from
one of the South Sea islands by i
sailing vessel. Little does she renl
lze, however, that the vessel is owned
iy her enemy, Hugo Loubeque, and
that l.e is aboard the, same vessel.
As soon as Loubeque discovers
that Lucille is aboard the boat, with;
the coveted documents, ho disguises
:is a Chinese mandarin to further his
plans in regaining the papers. Mean-
wheli Lucille is impressed by two
members of the crew. The first is the
captain, who is not long in showing
her that ho has evil designs upon
her. The escond is the first mate,
a gruff old tar, with whom she makes
friends. One night the captain at
tackes Lucille, and she is only saved
from his brutality by the timely in
torference of Loubeque. The girl
recognizes the spy despite his dis
guise, and puts herself on guard
against him. Knowing that the na-
pers must be valuable, the caotain
steals them from Lucille's cahin
gain the captain attacks her. This
time the girl draws a revolver, forces
the captain to the deck and shows him
up to the crew as a coward. By this
time there is a general feeling of un
rest among the members of the crew.
Tho time comes however, when the
ulors divide and carry on an armed
mutiny. A few cast their lot with
Lucille and the rest side with the
captain. A fierce battle between con
tending forces is then waged upon
the deck of the ship. At a critical
moment when Lucille and her follow
ers seem doomed, Loubeque comes
unexpectedly to tho girls aid and for
an instant the danger is passed. But
only, for nn instant because in the
thick of the fray a battleship is
sighted. Realizing that the boat is
carrying contraband arms' to China
and that ctfpturq will mean impris
onment, those of the crew who were
Lucille's friends tun against her and
oin the captain. Again in command
the cap'tain has Lobeque thrown over
board and. for Lucille he has even a
worse fate planned. She is placed in
row boat with a jug of water and
cast adrift on. the South Seas. When
she has drifted some distance from
the ship, she rescues Lobeque from
the water. In the small boat there
is but sufficient water to last a few
lays. Lobeque, however, shows the
greatest consideration for the help
less girl and when tho chill of night
comes ho covers her with 4iis own
coat. They are alone, adrift uoon the
South Seas and neither has the doc
uments, the quest of which has ceus-
ed them to face sa many dangers.

Grand Theatre Wednesday, July 29.
