BANDON, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1911 VOLUME XXVII L. J. WHEELER AR- RESTED FOR MURDER Deputy Sheriff of Jackson Co. Arrived Monday Morn ing and Takes Wheeler The Proposed Gymnasium. The time of awakening to the fact that it is equally as important to de velop the body as the I rain in our public schools has arrived. All over the country the movement for the proper physical instruction of our boys and girls, as a prevention for the diseases which reap such a hor rible harvest each year, is being taken up and pursued energetically The reason for the spread of the dis eases which are so common in our public schools is that the pupils are not physically able to resist the at tacks of the destructive germs. In f ict, nine out of every ten pupils are in such physical condition as to in vite the diseases that are constantly around us. Is this movement towards univer sal good health worth while, and if so, how can we remedy our present coml it ions? The first is absurd. Go through our own school right here in Bandon, notice the sunken chests, the stoop shoulders, the listless eyes, and lis ten to the quick irregular breathing of the pupils, and you would be ashamed of you. self forever for even allowing such a thought to enter your head. As to the remedy; we must in struct the pupils in the methods ot keeping themselves healthy. Before we can do this however we must have a place for such instruction and this is the very object of the pro posed Bandcn Public School Gym nasium. If you are in favor of the advance ment of our school along this all im portant line, attend the special school meeting in the High School Audito rimn. Nov. 23rd, and vote for the GYMNASIUM. BOATS ARRIVE Have Trouble Over Calf. AND DEPART Shipping Business at This Port Still Continues Ex ceedingly Brisk As a lesult of the dispute over the ownership of a calf, which was sold to Geo. Erdman last Saturday Mrs. C. Ledgerwood and C. H. Chandler swore out warrants of arrest against J. I- Conger for stealing the calf and against Geo. Erdman as an accom plice. It seems that the calf had been at the Ledgerwood farm for some time, but Mr. Conger claims the calf be longed to him and that he turned it out when a month old, and at the proper time he butchered it and sold it to Mr. Erdman for his meat mar ket. Mr. Chandler, seeing the calf hanging in the market, claimed it as having belonged to Mrs. Ledger wood; hence the difficulty, and now it will be necessary to prove who the calf really b-longed to. The trial comes rp for hearing tomorrow at one o'clock in Justice Wade's court unless a postponement be made. The burden of proof as we understand the case will be either for Mr. Con ger to show that the call was the same one he turned out. or for Mrs. Ledgerwood and Chandler to show that the calf had always been in their possession.

Wheeler, who owns and oper ates a grocery store on the plank road was arrested yesterday by the deputy sheriff of Jackson county for the murder of Nathan Rogaway. whose home was at Albany, Ore,, but who avas killed near Ashland, Ore., last summer. The only evidence that seems to be against Mr. Wheeler is that he and Rogaway and two other men left Ashland in Wheeler’s automo bile on the day Rogaway came up missing. Some time afterward Rog- away’s body was found buried by the roadside, and though the body was decayed he was identified by his clothes. It is said that the murdered man h <d a large sum of money on his person and that the murder was com mitted fertile purpose of robbery. Mr. Wheeler is a highly respected citizen of Bandon and was also high ly respected in Ashland. No one here who knows Mr. Wheeler be lieves that he would ever commit a deed of this kind. Mr. Wheeler was taketi back to Jackson county yesterday where he will have his hearing, and if indicted, will have to stand trial for the mur der. Nothing is known of the other two men who left Ashland in com pany with Messrs Wheeler and Rog away this issue. C. R. Wilcox, agent.

NUMBER 86 SHOULD HAVE PORT Of ENTRY Would Keep Tab on all Out going and Incoming Freight With Ease One thing that Bandon needs and needs badly is a port of entry to which every boat on entering and leaving the harbor must report how much freight, how many passengers, ttc , she is carrying By this means it wculd be an easy matter to keep tab on everything that comes in and goes out of this port and thus be able t3 furnish data for any purpose at any time. A Port of entry can be had just for the asking; all that is necessary is to get into communication with the department at Washington and the port can be secured. This mat ter should be taken up by the com mercial club, the naval militia, or some other organization, or better vet all work in conjunction, and while we think of it let us not forget to furnish the data asked for by Con gressman Hawley when he was here last week so that he can have some thing to work on when he asks for a new appropriation lor the Coquille river. Now is the time to get busy, Rapid Rise in CoosCo. Values J. F and Robert Hope ol North Inlet, who recently sold their ranch of 560 acres to Dr. Pope Howard of Everett, Wash., for $42,000, were in the city today making prepara tions to go to Vancouver. B. C., where they will spend the winter be fore permanently locating somewhere further north in Canada. The sale of this ranch represents the tapid rise in Coos county realty values in the last few years. About seven years ago Geo. Beale sold it to Wesley Newlan for $3,500. New- Ian held it. for about a year and sold to the Hope Brcs. for the same price he paid Beale. The Hope Bros, held it for about five years when a price of $25,000 was placed on it and a prominent Marshfield business man is understcod to have taken an option on it at that time. Later, F. B Waite opened negotiations and was about to close the deal at $25,- 000, but for some reason the mailer fell through. A couple of months ago Dr. Pope Howard of Fverett, Wash., an old school mate and friend of Dr. Min gus made a prospecting trip and visit to Coos Bay and was so favorably impressed with the property that he promptly purchased it for $42,000. Dr. Howard expects to make the place his permanent home; his broth er will arrive soon from Prince Ed ward Island to assume active man agement of the ranch.—Coos Bay Times. Riverton Local*. Improvements are being made all over our town. Henry Bumgardner is making his house another story higher which adds greatly to its ap pearance. Bruno Augustino is build ing a nice cottage on the land he bought lately. Bean & Martin have built an addition to their store build ing; one half is to be used as a store room and the rest will be opened into the sales room. Wm. Kay is building another addition on his res idence. Curtis Price and family have moved to Coquille. They expect to remain there a year or more as Mr. Price works in the new saw mill. Henry Bumgardner, who, for the past year, was running the Mathers dairy ranch, returned with his f.uni ily last week. G. H. Sell has made up his mind to try living in town again. He and his family have moved here. Surprise parties seem to be the rage here now. There has been sev eral during the past two ,veeks. Last Saturday evening a large number of our citizens of all ages and both sexes suddenly appeared at the resi dence of James Lee and family. The evening passed off pleasantly and everybody enjoyed themselves. —D e L e V era The Cloven Hoof. The High School play entitled "The Cloven Hoof ’ composed by C. R. Moore, and to be put on by the Bandon High Schoo), will be given Friday and Saturday nights of this week at the Orpheum, and it will be worth everybody’s while to go and see it, as it will be well worth the price of admission, and besides the proceeds are to go for a good cause in which everybody should be interested, that of erecting a gymna sium for the use of the schools. The program and cast of chirac- ters will appear in Friday’s R ecord er . Delphi Lodge, No. 64, K. of P., will give their annual ball in Orien tal Hall, Saturday evening, Novem- l:> r tSlh.

They are hummers as minstrels, and received prolonged applause at every ,>erfor- mance. The troupe played at Co quille last night, will be at Myrtle Point tonight, and from there will go to Roseburg, and then south and will probably come back here for a return engagement in about three months. The Coos Bay Times says it is re ported that Robert Marsden, Jr., and W. C. Sellmer of Bandon are nego tiating with Marshfield parties for the erection of a building fora moving picture and playhouse.
