WATROV Ireeder of Registered Jersey Cattl'" id Bnrkshlro wlne Coqullle, O re-aim. Lo! In tho morning when Jack aroso the beanstalk, from a tiny shoot, hud sprung up by magic and. grown out of sight No, this isn't a fairy tale; merely a chronicle of soma few of the signs of tho times in North, Bend, as evidenced by tho building activity. There's no fairy talo ia. connection, neither magic nobody ever heard of a fairy with a union card nor a magic houso requiring real hammers, nails and lumber to build. But the metaphor is good. North Bend's building era Is nothing short of wonderful. To those who camo hero a year ago and remember tho present cleared and populous addi tions as heavily timbered tracts tho situation need3 little comment. To these tho story dulls when converted from tho rugged reality onto paper. But ld and young residenters alike feel a sense of deep pride In the re telling of North Beml's maich city ward. Dally, one can see material advancement. Perhaps the most vivid Idea can bo gained by visiting the great centri fugal force of this building move ment North Bend's waterfront mills. On tho dock Just above Kelly's boat landing Is tho North Bend Sash and Door Factory. Through this in dustry passes, theoretically, practic ally every house of consequence erect ed on Coos Bay; for It is the only manufactury making doors and sash es. At the present time It Is run ning to full capacity and still hardly able to handle the orders. Sixty-five men are now at work and J. F. Bode, tho manager, said Friday that no could use moro labor If It were pro curable. Tho mill Is eating up overy month 300,000 feet of Oregon tim ber. Tho box factory farther north. on the wharf Is cutting 50,000 foot of lumber dally and running night and day. Very shortly tho Coos Bay Furniture factory will start again, after its short suspension for light re pairs, and an additional force will bo put on to fill tho back orders for its output. Both tho Simpson mill, at old North Bend, and tho mill at Por ter aro running to capacity to keep up with their orders. Tho capacity of tho North Bend mill is about 75, 000 feet dally and the Porter mill about 125,000 feet daily. Illustrative of tho building now In progress in North Bend Is tho fol Uwlng list of recent constructloa work: S. Backey Is erecting a store build ing on Virginia street. Mr. Graves Is erecting a two-story store on Sherman avenue. Plans and specifications aro out for a largo modern two-story build ing to be erected near tho post-ofllco.. Georgo Beal, the saw mill man, is financing It. Tho building Is to have; thrco store rooms on the first floor while tho,Becond will be divided into about twenty-flvo offices. C. F. McCuIIom's handsome rcsl denco on Sherman street hill Is prac tically completed. This Is by far one of tho handsomest houses erected on tho bay for somo time. Bob Simpson has just completed an. elegant eleven room houso on Sher man avenue near the Simpson park. W. B. Dilloy is building a neat cot tage In North Bond. Carl Lockdam is putting up a six room dwelling on Sherman avenuo opposlto tho Mercy hospital. There are some half dozen cottages going up on Swing Point, Bangor ad dition, in the vicinity of tho Rey nolds mill. Building has been un usually heavy around Pony Inlet for some time past. Thomas Vigars, North Bond's well known real estate man, is building a. cottage to rent in Bangor addition. R. A. Wernlck will soon start work on a pretty cottage in Porter addi tion. Fred Mlllor Is now building a six room houso In the Porter addition. A. J. Griffith Is now erecting a handsomo and substantial six-room house. Harry Noble has just comploted two fine cottages; ono is on Shorman avonuo near California, and tho other on Union near California.
