of
ENTHUSIASTIC IN
PRAISE OF BEACH
Campers From Washington
California and Oregon
Spend Summer Vaca
tions Here.
At the present time the Bandon
beach and city park are regular cities
of tents, there lieinir rows of them
along the beach extending from Tup
ner Rock to Bennett's beach, a dis
tance of about three miles.
There aro people from as far north
as Grays Harbor, Washington, to as
far south as Stockton, California,
and from the interior of Washington,
Oregon and California, including the
cities of North Yakima, Wash., Rose
burg and Ashland, Ore., and many
other places.
A little trip along the beach just
ilow would bo of interest to anyone,
and to hear the praise of the beauti
ful beach that we have here would
help Bnndonians to realize what a
wonderful place it is to outsiders.
At present there arc hundreds of
campers hero and as we have said
they come from all parts of the
coast. A few of them with whom the
Recorder representative mot while
making the round of the beach are:
P. J. Ballf and Frank Brown of
Roseburg. Mr. Brown is a brother of
Geo. M. Brown, the famous prose
cuting attorney, and who received
the Republican nomination for At
torney General, at the primaries.
W. Henry and family of Nights
Landing, California, are here with a
rig, and aro thinking Seriously of lo
cating in Bandon and will probably
go into the restaurant business.
R. W. Oglesbee and family and J.
P. Joiner and wife, of Stockton, Cal.,
arrived yesterday for a couple of
weeks camping. They made the trip.
in automobiles.
Many aro here from nearby towns.
Among these aro J. E. Norton and
family, Aaron Wilson and family,
Mrs. C. C. Price and daughters, Ed
itor Young and family of tho Coquille
Sentinel, A. R. Taylor and family, all
of Coquille.
E. F. Shrodcr and family, E. E.
Nelson, and Newton Livingston and
family, of Myrtle Point.
Others from outside points are:
J. T. Clements and fumily of North
Yakima, Wash., Vernon McManery
and family, of Aberdeen, Wash., V.
L. Titus and family of Ashland, Ore.
Tho campers aro all enjoying them
selves and have only words of praiso
for the beautiful beach, and are all
of tho opinion that if wo had better
transportation facilities, which wo
will have within a short time, that
there would be thousands of campers
come here from all points on the coast
every year.

ARE THE WINNERS
The Marshfield Elks covered them
selves with glory Sunday by coming
over and scalping the Bandon Elks
in a ball game, the score being 11 to
13 in favor of the Coos Bayites.
About 35 of Marshficld's antlered

served refreshments to their visitors
in Odd Fellows hall, and another jol
ly good time ensued.
The Bandon Elks say the end is not

when the work is all finished tho now
office will present a neat and modern
appearance.

red in the Pacific coast sugar mar
kets since the European war has com
menced. The market here is follow
ing tho advance of the Eastern sugar
market, wheh has been in an excited
condition for tho wsst week. Tiie
war is, of course, the cause of it all.
England consumes beet sugar pro
duced in Germany and Austria. With
no possibility of getting a supply
there the English dealers aro now
trying to buy refined sugar in the
United States. Tho abnormal for
eign demand caused by the war, ov
en if there is no means yet of mak
ing shipments, has, of course, ex
cited tho American market. All im
ported foodstuffs aro strong in price
and tending upward. Chicago pack
ors havo announced another advance
in corned beef quotations of 30 to 40
cents a dozon. Another lino that is
feoling the effect of tho curtailment
of imports is wool, prices of which

war vessel was east up on the beach here today and it is
believed that it is the warship "Shearwater." Two Ger
man war vessels were known to be off the coast here and
they were both larger than the British vessel. The battle
is supposed to have been fought last Friday, as heavy
firing o If the coast was heard that day.
Rome, August 12. Italy will probably go to war with
the Austrians, as they bombarded a place in Montenegro
which was floating the Italian flag. Italy has demanded
to known why it. was done. So far Austria lias given no
satisfactory answer and -it is believed that Italy will de
clare war.
At Eutalia, in Montenegro, the Austrians displaced the
Italian flag, and this has added to Italy's anger.

WAITING FOR FALL
RUN OF SALMON
Industry Will Add Consid
erable to Bandon's Pay
roll if it Meets With
Success.
John Ncilson informs The Record
er that the work of deeo sea fishinir
for salmon with the big purse seino
would begin just as soon as tho
weather would permit, and the fish
begin to school again.
It is the hope of the promoters of
the new industry to cutch sovcrul
thousand fish on the outside. This
will not have any effect on the run of
fish in tho river later, as these fish
will be those that arc passimr un and
down the coast and would enter the
smaller streams whore there are no
fisheries or canneries.
Tho salmon begin to collect from
the middle to tho latter part of Au
gust and continue for several months.
If tins proves a success in addition
to the regular run of salmon in the
lver this fall, it will mean that tho
largest pack of fish the canneries on
the river have ever put up will bo
packed this year.
Tho company that will handle the
deep sea fishing was organized sev
eral months ago, and is made up en
tirely of local capital. They have so-
cured an excellent outfit of boats
and seines and if tho run of fish war
rants they will add more.

CIFIC STEADILY GROWING
Eugene Register: Ballasting on
the Willamette Pacific railway will
be resumed on Thursday of this week
and a stretch of 11 miles of track will

operation. A steam shovel, which has
been in use on tho lino along the Sius

tion at tho S. P. gravel pit near that
town. The company owns a largo
tract of land near the Willamette
river there from which all of tho bal
last that has heretofore been used
on tho W. P. has been taken. Tho
track is now ballasted to a point 32
miles fromEugeno, and with tho ad
dition of tho 11 miles to bo ballast
ed immediately there will bo a
stretch of track 13 mile3 long that
will bo in shape for the operation of
trains over it. Thin additional bal-
astlng will extend ac far as the third
(ridge ucrosd tho Slusluw river. It
i expected that train servico will be
tended that far just as soon as the
gravel is spread and tamped and tho
-rack leveled. Several train loads of
gravel each day will bo taken from
the pit near Natron to tho "front" un
