connections with the JItdo road
and traffic between the west and east
sides of-the inlet will be established

ordered the roadway complete on
the ohf survey made some years ago,
The new connection a ill eventually
make a short road between Coos
Bay and Itandon, cutting the route
nearly ten miles. At present the

connected up with the ' highway in
the neighborhood of the.Sentfstack

paring a pile driver for setting the
piling for a bridge which will be be
tween 300 and 400 feet in length.
It will require besides this bridge,
about joo'feet of roadway and- then

use this new portion for the . use of
freighting and other traffic. The

PROCLAMATION!
' Nature has been lavish in the destribution of her
gifts to the people of our city during the year now so
rapidly closing. It. is pleasant retrospection to view
them. Now and then s.he has cast dark shadows but
the pleasing countenance of her higher moods has not
been withdrawn from us. 5Ve have ben permitted
to enjoy a season of unusually pleasant weather. No
devastating floods have swept our community No
confiagralions have destroyed our homes. No drouth
has blanched our fields and gardens. No forces have
been permitted to block our commercial and indus
trial harmony and advancement by inciting rioti
strikes' and discontent. We have viewed with pleas
ure and complacency the general advancement in
municipal affairs. We have heard the echoes of favor-'
able reports from distant quarters and have entertained
host of highly appreciative visitors who came to en
joy with us our salubrious climate and vast expanse of
ocean beach.
For these and .all other blessings we gently in
cline with tender tnankful emotions our' souls in the
direction-of the Supreme Cause' of all our happiness.
It is therefore right in sight of God, ennobling to the
community and a benefit to every person in our midst
to set apart a season for devotion.
Now therefore. I, J. W. Mast Mayor of the City
of Bandon do hereby designate Thursday November
27, A. D. 1913 as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer
and invite the people of Bandon to cease from their
wonted occupations and in, their several homes
and places of worship to render thanks to Almighty
God.
In witness wliereof I. have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the City of Bandon to be affixed.

PATSEV IN
BIG
STORM
Gas Schooner Has 'Trouble
at Siuslaw. Formerly
Ran Here.
Florence, Ore., Nov. 21. The
gasoline schooner Pal.sy with a car
go of general merchandise, . had an
almost miraculous escape on the
Siuslaw bar yesterday, and only the
presence ol mind of her captain
saved the vessel from going ashore
on the .south spit. The Patsey was
arriving from Portland and was en
tering the harbor, when, of a sudden
her engines failed and the craft lay
helpless on the dangerous waters.
The Patsey slowly drifted southward
and had approached the south spit
when the anchor was thrown out and
the vessel made fast against the
chance of risking the breakers and
rough water until the .engines might"
be started.
People who viewed- the 'drifting;
boat and realized Vher precarious
position, were reminded of other;
similar accidents and expected the
Patsy to be swept on the spit and
stranded. However, -the anchor
held the ship and the engineers
succeeded in getting the engines
going" again in a short time. Anchor
was then raised and the Patsey
came in to Florence, little the worse"
for the experience.
Several vessels have been strand
ed here and the iast one to be great-,
ly damaged was the Anvil the 500
on boat which laid on , the beach
there for two months before she was
drngged off and saved. The Anvil
accident happened last spring.
