Fourth of July Celebrations Across Coos County 1911
July Fourth dawned bright in Coos county with no official Myrtle Point observance. Residents celebrated at homes and nearby towns, many attending Marshfield’s two day event where Fran B. Tichenor spoke. Horse racing at Coos Bay, ball games at Couile and Pleasant Hill, and a charity table luncheon marked the day. A notable mishap occurred when a foul tip struck a girl in the crowd during a Lee vs Norway ball game.

A Sacramento depot tests special provisions to care for traveling mothers and infants on arrival. Nurses staff a waiting room with two women care givers and infant facilities. If successful the practice could expand to major Southern Pacific stations. The report notes the idea originated with a female traveler and is part of broader trial efforts.

New Land Law Opens Door To Second Homestead Entry
A 1911 act allows a person who entered land before February 3 1911 and lost or abandoned it without compensation beyond the filing fee to make a new entry if they prove facts with at least one witness. The provision does not apply to those who relinquished earlier entries for fraud or abandoned them with compensation, and officials note many affidavits were filed to pursue new options at regional land offices.

Letter to Editor Defends Judge Coke in McClallen Case
A Roseburg Oregon reader defends Judge Coke amid recalls of the McClallen trial. The writer argues juror bias and alleged instructions misstate law, contends the District Attorney bears fault, and predicts recall will fail for lack of petition signatures, urging readers to judge the law themselves.
