hour:;. Hut the contractors referred
him to the authorities at Washington.
Joseph and Arthur Coach have ar
ranpod to pay on" their standing in
debtedness. $15,000 was secured by u
loan to this Coach estate by Fred Hot
lister as trustee of the First National
Hank of North Hend. The money was.
raised through a trust deed secured
by thirty $500 bonds on property own
ed by Joseph Coach and hiswife, val
ued at $100,000. This loan runs foi
one J ear at 10 per cent.

chase an injunction wns served on the
county clerk stopping the drawing of

There is considerable feeling rife
over the contemplated purchase nnd
the opponents of the project are ex
ceedingly in earnest in their opposi
tion. It is stated in the Coos Hay Times

yet secured a state license for prac
ticing within the gtate of Oregon.

CUHilY'S RICH SAND
The Globe has often referred to the
Reach of Curry County as "Curry's
Golden Fringe," and the truth of such
a statement has been verified this
winter by J. C. Miller and sons Mert
and Amos who have taken out of the
bluff above their beach better than
fifty ounces of platinum alone, and
are still making exceedingly good
wages washing out the precious metal.
The entire bluff along this particular
beach has been proved to contain
high values in platinum, nnd gold
enough to leave a profit after oper
ating expenses are paid. Gold Bench

CIVIL WAR HORSE STILL
VIVES
The oldest horse that served the
country in the war of the Rebellion is
still alive at the age of 51! years, at
Horsehends, N. Y. It is owned by P.
A. Mcintosh who is also a veteran of
the came war. To prove his assertion
Mr. McI::to3h shows the government
brand on the animals's hip, which
reads "I,. C, 1805." Horse and mr.n
served in the same regiment. Al
though bent with age, his hair turn
ing gray and his teeth becoming worn,
ibe old warhorsc is still able to eat
12 quarts of oats and take his muster
lo town several tunes a week. It is
estimated the animal is at least "5:1
years old. I armors say the average
life of a horse is about 15 years
Under a new state law it will be
necessary for the man who goes out
after clams or crabs to havo a license
just the same us if he went fishing.
The new law reads:
"It shall be unlawful to take, catch
or fish for, buy, sell, can, pack or
otherwise deal in or handle any sal
mon, fish or sturgeon or other food or
shell fish in this state or in any wat
ers over which this state has has con
current jurisdiction, without first ob
taining a license therefore as provid
ed by law."
There is an emergency clause in
the law and many havo likely oirend
ed. One provision of the bill allows
one to gather shell fish for one's own
use.

A large halibut fisher was noticed
otf Coos Hay early last week. She
cruised up and down the coast a few
miles off shore, for several hours and
then headed west. She was probably
endeavoring to locate the local fishing
banks where local boats go out to
catch halibut, ling cod and other fish
for the local market. These hanks
ire of very limited area and it fre
quently happens during thick veuh
or when land mnrks are not visible
fail to locate them. The main halibut
bank is said to be between 25 and .'15
miles due west of Arago. It is thought
to be a portion of the big bank reach
ing south from Hncata Hond. The

are not unliable, Hilling ho far from

MUCH MONEY ON HIS LEGS
Arthur Coach sat in the Sentinel
sanctum last Friday morning and told
how much better he had felt since he
and booze had parted company, lie
avowed himself henceforth an unrelent
ng foe to liquor, and assured us that
he had not tasted a drop since the first
of January. More than this, he show
ed us the horny hands of a working
man and invited us to come down to
Lain pa and see if ho hadn't the finest
garden in Coos county. He says that
he intends to make the ranch there bis
home. Also that with six judges hold
ing their watches on him he walked
from Coulogue's camp to I .a m pa post
office a distance of two and a-quarter
miles, one-eight mile of it trestle, in
22 minutes.
So mUeh for his record as an athlete
Hut ho told another tale that did make
us sit up and take notice. The scene
was laid at the Salem jail, when a man
whose name is well known in Coos
county, he said, was brought in and
searched but not so thoroughly that
he boasted to the other prisoners later
that they did not find his roll for he
had a package of $1,000 in paper mon
ey wound around each leg. And
Coach avers that this $8,000 was the
identical bunch of currency stolen
from the Myrtle Point bank, when it
was blown open a year and a-lialf ago
This is certainly important, if true;
but Coach says he has told what he
knows about it to the district attorney
and we will leave the matter to that
officer to investigate.
Exciting Time Over Lost Hoy
Residents of Bear Creek had anex
citing time all by themselves Wednes
day evening arising from the myster
ious disappearance of little Bobbie
Dobbyn. The boy was first missed by
Miss Louise Clausen who started out
in'' search of him. Her first place of in
quiry was at the homo of II. Jay
Banks. The ulurm was rounded by
telephone to the neighbors, who ap
peared upon the scone in a few min
utes from all directions.
The creek was the first thing
thought of and search was made there
and that the task was thoroughly
done may be inferred from the fact
that several got into the water up to
their necks. The bushes were also
searched and finally in the course of
an hour Bobbie was found by Henry
Cox. He had been having v. nap with
his kitten, n fine yellow cat, his es
pecial pride.
The relief of the mother at finding
the boy may be imagined. She lud
in her search passed quite near to the
sleeper but passed him unobcerved be
cause of the unevenness of the land.
All joined in the jubilee with her at
the happy ending of the hunt.

DISCOVERING CORN MEAL
The war in Europe is likely to teach
the Europea'is the value of corn meal
ns human food. The demand for it
has already boosted the price of corn
in the American markets, ami it is
likely to boost it higher. This is un
fortunate for the domestic consumers
of corn bread and boiled mush, but
there will bo c 'ipe.isations. After
the war is over Europc.iiB who have
eaten corn will continue lo eat it, and
the fiolds of waving corn on the
American farms wi.i be transformed
into gold minor The yellow kerrels
will glint with t' ' lister of wealth
Hut even thout ' ' coin moal is dearer
than it was a f. v Wv.ii ago, it is still
cheaper than v.-h t flour. Necessity
mny tench eoi.n- Americans fhat tlioy
can reduce the i .t of living, oven now
by using more corn meal. And that
