Thev won out anil mnnv done more than anyone else towards putting King countyj Washington, on tho map as the homo of good roads, ! to be the principal speaker at the monster road meeting to bo held in the Moose Hall, tomorrow (Wednes day) night. Ho will speak on the ad vantages of bonding for good roads. In bringing Mr. Terraco hero to speak throughout tho county, in the campaign for tho road bonds that are to be voted on at the coming election May 19, tho Coos County Good Roads Association feel that' they have se cured a speaker who is thoroughly in formed regarding road problems. C. C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter, has tho following to say of Mr. Terrace: "lie subdued -a Stump fnrm.near the Duwnmish .River in King Count; Washington, afoul thirty years ago. Milked cows nnd hoed garden part of (he time and hauled his milk and aide n produce to market through the mud the balance of the time about one-third farmc nnd two-thirds-tcam- .uor. was very active in me iving coucty grange ono of the beat kick" crs they had. Went to a good rn&ua ccture and got Into an argument vith tho speaker and cleaned him out. He proved to the satisfaction of the crowd that an improved road was a ine thing for tho city man but a poor thing for tho former-taxpayer and von much applause from his fellow grangers. Afterwards ho got "to thinking it over and did a lot of f igur- ng and reading with the result th.nj. within a year he wns working for a -oad up his valley. Most of his no!gh- ors opposed his project but he got 'omo help from tho town, tho bonds .vcro issued and a first class road was cuilt. It mado a big hit until whon ho winter came the Duwamish river .oso nnd left tho road about twenty feet under water. His neighbors said, "Now, where is your road?" Terrace was very much worried but Ms tho happiest man in King County when the waters went down and ho found tho road there as good as new. Now there is n fine auto truck ser vice between his valley and Seattle, nicking up cream cans, veal, hogs, dairy nnd garden produco daily anJ delivering merchandise right to tho farmer's door. Every farmer has his own depot In front of his house. Now Terraco Is a fnrmer all the timo and doesn't have to be a teamster r. id fight mud. Ho hitches up his 'i ,y arid drives to town with his fan - ' r pleasure nnd business. Tho j -! Ie of tho next valley profited by tb- "v- ample and clambrcd for a road up. QrilfinNIiI?

Accord ing to tho report received here, the wrecking tug Noye, after nuking two attempts to float tho Oakland, steam ed back to San Francisco, Wednesday. Tho absence of proper tides, coupl ed with the deep Led of sand into which the ship was settled, prevented what seemed at first an easy Job. It is not known what disposition will be made of the vessel and its cargo cf ties, most of which went ashore when the Oakland beached or have ben , taken ashore since. There are 1600 ties piled up on the beach near NecAr-1 TUESDAY, MAY, 9. 1916 FOR WED. NIGHT ' miles of first class roads wore con- strutted in King County. Terraco was opposed to bonding for road con struction until his experience with loads built by bonds demonstrated what an actual profit there was to the farmer taxpayer in saving tha time and cost of hauling and permit ting him to use his full productivo energy in farming; also, in enabling him to market his produce at all tim es of the year. Terrace tells his story in a single, straight-forward, understandable way. Ho is just the opposite, from the professional talker for ho lives on and works his farm, leaving it only for very short periods when he can address brother farmfrs, especially members of the grange, telling them of the benefits that have como to him nnd his neighbors ami their families from building roads, He gives come sound advico on th' least costly methods of road construe' tion and the best way to go about it to save money for the taxpj!- FVank Terraco has done much'Vgood iiv this world, has carried hope ai.il Iiifppir.eGc into the lives of his neigh bors and of f.-.rmers in other neigh borhoods, by his common sense, simple talks on tl.o road problem." Whilo llVr. Terrace will speak al most entirely on the advantages of good roads nnd tho advisability of bonding tha county for their construc tion, tho details of the proposed bond issue will be taken up by other speak ers. Tho county" court and the Good Roads association will both be repre sented at tho meeting.

UP, WHERE TAX MONEY WILL GO IF BONDS ARE VOTED JUDGE WATSON EXPLAINES HOW FUNDS NOW USED JFOR MAINTAINANCE WILL BE EXPENDED Thero has been considerable discus sion among the voters of tho county a3 to where the money derived from road assessments would be spent, and how, in case tho proposal to bond the county for $362,000 for road purposes carries at the coming election. The question was asked of County Judge James Watson by the Good Roads As siciation and here is his answer: Conuille, Ore., April 27, l'JIG Charles Hall, President, Coos County Good Roads Association Marshfield, Oregon. Dear Sir:- In answer to your letter dated March 29, 1916, inquiring that in tho event there should be made available 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the County for tho construction of trunk lino roads, what improvement! on certain roads listed therein could be made. In the event that the election for bonds carries, tho County Court would bo in a position to materially aid in tho improvement and construction of a rond from Sumner to Coos City, from Dora to Myrtle Point, from Powcro to Myrtlo Point, from Myrtle Point to Bridge, from Marshfield to Sunsc Bay and frcm Alleghany to tlr Douglas County line. The Ciur.ly Court would be able to aid in the co struction of a bridge at Coquille, - build' and maintain a ferry at Glut; goW, and tho surfacing of a road fron Marshfield city limits through Bunkc- Hill to connect with the present sur faced road. The bridge at Myrtle Point will bo built out of the County General Road fund nnd tho dato for plans has nl ready been submitted to the Stats Highway Commission for plans and specifications. It will not'be possible that all theses projects will be taken in hand at once and completed but, if tha bond Issua "r's, tho Ccunty Court is relievod ironi expending general funds on th . ltfrnmcnt and grading of the main trui.k toads cud there will be a con sidcrable amount of funds availabla for those projects.

AKMANN DIES AT SAN FRANCISCO tired Here For Several Years INJURED BY FALL TUESDAY MORNING HE DIES WITHIN 24 HOURS LEFT BANDON ONLY SHORT TIME AGO Ult-E LEAVES THURSDAY. Jack W. Akman, who left Bandon less than two months ago to tnko a position ns ship plummer in ona of the San Francisco yards, died in tint city at seven o'clock Wednesday morn ing, from injuries received tho day before while ho was at work. Word that Mr. Akman was Injured reached here first Tuesday morning, when Mrs. Akman received n tele gram stating that he had received a "bad fall while at work and Avas in a serious condition. Wednesday morn ing the news cf his death arrived. Mrs. Akman at once arranged for tho salo of her household effects and loft next morning for- San Francisco, by way of Eugene. She will leave Ii3r little son with her sister in Eugene, for tho present. Mr. Akman was 46 years of ngj at the timo of his death. He had fol lowed the plumbing trade slnco ho was a boy and had the name of being an expert in that line. Coming to Bandon about five years ago en to rod into tho practice of his trade unj during tho four, years prior to mo time he left to accept tho position lu held at tho time of his death, he wis employed by the Bandon Hardware company. About three years ago ue wns married to Mrs. Daisy Halliuu ham, of this city. During his resid ence here he made a host of frie:.ds who will remember'' his ready sm lo and cheerful greetings. The funeral took place In Han Francisco, Saturday. Mr. Aknim leaves his mother, five sisters u.id two brothers, besides his wife :id step-son. All arq residents of Sin Francisco. COMMERCIAL CLUB . IS TOMEET TONIGHT REVIVAL OF OLD OR FORMA TION OF NEW ORGANIZATION TO BE DECIDED A meeting of all of tho businem men of the city has been called for this evening, In the City Hall, at which time the question of reviving tho old Commercial Club, or forming n iijw commercial organization, will - ba laken up. With tho opening of tho railroad and tho revival of business condition that haa been in progress for tho pa3t two months, it has been becoming more and mora evident every day that, unless eome sort of commercial organization is maintained here, vo will bo left behind In tho development which is rdrcady in evidence through- out the county. People throughout tho Northwest are looking towards Coos county ns the land of possibili ties and to reach these pcoplo iind act before them tho advantages and op portunities which Bandon and tha surrounding country has to offer, is tho task of a commercial organiza tion. Beyond advertising and knott ing our own local resources, we should be taking an active part in tho Itooet cr work that is being done for tho be nefit of the entire county. What we are losing through tho lack of some civic body to direct v d supervise our publicity work, Is de monstrated by tho number of letters of inquiry about this section that are received eVery week. Mot of tho' writers ask for descriptive literature and such other data as wo havo it hand. The newrpapers care for a large number of these Inquiries, mer chants devote what time they on to answering Cnm but the big majori ty of them are given no attention whatever. All of these letters 1 1 dicatc thnt Bindon is strongly In trenched on the map of Coos county, bat we mutt have some body whose business it ic to keep it there. Mr. E. B.
