DlSTILLERY TO BE BUILT.
North Bend Will Probably Secure De.
natured Alcohol Plant,

North Bend Will Probably Secure De
natured Alcohol Plant.
North Bend-The Coos bay country
has secured the establishment of
plant for the manufacture of denaturec
alcohol and the distillery will be ready
to receive potatoes from the farmers
next fall.
IS. T. Glover, of the American Alec.
hol company, New York, came to the
Coos bay country about two weeks age
in an endeavor to interest the farmers
in denatured alcohol. He was accom-.
panied by DR.. Withycombe, who con.
Quoted several farmers institutes in the
county and at these meetings the sys.
tenn of conducting denatured plants was
explained to the farmers. It was ex-
planned that if rs, 900 tons of potatoes
were promised the company it would at
once prepare to begin operations. The
distilery could easily handle twice the
quantity named, but was willing to
start on a small scale.
Contracts were entered into with a
number of farmers on a basis of So per
ton for three years, the distille1y to
take potatoes of all sizes. 1t is esti.
mated that at this price farmers will
receive nearly 500 per acre for their
product.
1t was explained by the promoters of
the enterprise that when the distillery
was running at it's full capacity it
would require 81 tons of coal per day
for 10 months in the year to convert
the tubers into alcohol, and this would
prove great stimulus to coal mining.
Furthermore, number of by.products
would be manufactured that would
greatly increase the payroll.
Although the site for the distillery
las not been definitely announced it
will probably 60 to North Bend.

Modern Road in CoquiIle Valley.

Myrtle Point-The rock crueher,
which has been operated at the quarry
on the road between Myrtle Point and
Coquille, is about to suspend work, ow-
ing to wet weather. The result OF the
work which has been done thus far is
the graveling of the entire road between
Coquille and Myrtle Point. This road
is laid on a good grade, and the cover.
ing OF crushed rock makes it as good a
road az any Oregon can boast of. 1t is
an excellent quality of rock for this
purpose. which is quarried where the
crusher is located.

Eugene-Prune drying in Lane eoun.

found that the output this'year is much
larger than last year. Rains at the
time drying commenced caused consid-

and by making 1t ripen irregularly. but
even with this disadvantage the crop is
above the average. Canneries have
been wo king on tomatoes for the past
five or six wekes, and still have \ sup

and Z, by delegates from the boards
of trade and similar associations OF

cities. New Jersey is especially in

water transportation of its five north

100000 tons year.
Its waterways demand enlarge
Inent and improvement, because its
annual tonnage is increasing at such
rate that present facilities for wa
ter transportation will soon prove in
adequate.
Besides Newark and Jersey City,
the cities of Elizabeth, Passaic, Perth

my HOW THE WINTRY
WINDS D ID BLOW !
Thermometers About Town Regis
tered Only Ten Degrees Above
Zero This Morning.

The first real old-fashioned win
ter weather began yesterday after
noon about o'clock and the mercury
began to slip lower and lower. Sleet,
snow and rain held the stage for the
first act, about half hour, and then
the wind increased until the thermo-
meter was way down and windows
began to take on frosty coating.
Anyone who doubts that last night
was as cold as one would care to be
outdoors in can verify the statement
by quizzing any of the policemen or
late travellers.
The thermometer registered but
10 degrees above zero at o'clock this
morning at many places about town,
and pedestrians sank their heads in
the protecting covering of their coat
collars and their hands down deep
in the recesses of their pockets.
A continuance of this would put
a stiff crust on the water.
