Tho contract be comes elfective on November 1 and expires nt tho end of four years.

THE PERILS OF PAULINE AT THE GRAND SATURDAY The eighth episode in tho amazing adventures of Paulino will bo sli iwn at tho Grand theatre next Saturday evening, October 10th. Tho last in stallment left tho heroine locked in a deserted mine, and left to her fate. Satisfied that their plan to cause the disappearance of Paulino would this lime bo successful, 1 licks end hi:i hired assistants ride away. Mis. Haines decides to notify Hurry of Pauline's disappearance. A curious mental message seems to warn Har ry that Paulino is in danger and ho prepares to leave for the west. As he is making his preparations he gets tho wire from Mrs. Haines. Ho leaves at once. At tho big pow-wow of tlie Sioux Indians tho medicine man prophesies that a great white goddess will como to tho Sioux Indians from the ground and will help them to throw ofT tiic yoke of the white men. The tribe is very much excited and start out on a hunt to secure the nec essary provisions to entertain their expected guest. One of tho Indians in chasing n coyote over tho hills is very much surprised to sec Pauline raise in front of him apparently from tho solid ground. Pauline had dis covered a way out. He takes her to tho camp and tho Indians proclaim her the goddess of the prophesy. They try to induce her to lead them in a war on the white sttlement, but she reuses. Disgusted they tell her that she will have to undergo tho trial by Oracle. This consists of placing her in a trench from which there is no es cape and rolling down on her a huge boulder. If sho remains unhurt she must indeed bo what they think her. Harry, in the menntimc, has arrived at tho ranch and on learning tho truth has sot out to do what ho caito find Pauline. There is one half-breed in the Indian camp Hint hns become very much attached to Pauline nnd ho sets out to tell the settlers., of tho peril she is in. Ho meets with an accident, however, and is unable to carry out his intention. Ilnrry in scouring the country finds him and receives tho message. Ho rides as fast as he can to tho place where the halfbreed tells him the trial is to take place. He ar rives just as tho death-dealing boul der is started on its trip. There is no timo to get Paulino out of tho ditch J uml to jump in himself is certain death. There seems to bo no help within miles. Harry hns been resource ! ful in tho past buf this seems almost to much. Ho finally but this would bo telling tales out of school, Tho pic ture next Saturday will show just what ho did. Mm. A. W.

Tho old woolen mill building, which has been a land mark in Bandon for 21 years, was completely destroyed by fire Wednesday night at about midnight. The origin of the fire is not known, but there is pretty good evidence of incondnrism. The main part of the buiding was not occupied except as a storehouse, in allien was stored tho hcarso be longing to George P. Topping and a few other articles in cluding a gasoline boat belonging to George Erdman. In the cast end of tho building was Sam Golfs second hand store and re Ipair shop and in the center was Carl Swclgin's plumbing shop. Mr. Gofi" lost about $300 in tools and goods and Mr. Swclgin places his loss at about $900. Tho building belonged to E. A. Philpolt and was valued by him at about $4000. It was not a very pre possessing building on the outside but it was built with heavy timbers in tho construction work and with a lit tles repairing and a now roof it would have been a substantial building. This building was put up about 21 years ago by Clark & Palmer, who op crated tho fist woolen mill over built in Bandon. Tho machinery was af terward3 moved to North Bend. Since that time the building has been occu pied by a shingle mill and by Perry's veneer plant, but both had been moved out for several years and the building had been practically vacant. CITY BUYSJ'IVE HUNDRED FEET OF NEW FIRE HOSE At the regular meeting of tho city council Wednesday night a committee composed of Councilmcn F. .1. Chat burn, J. W. Mast and H. C. Dippel, was appointed to buy some now firo hoso for tho city. Mr. Mark II. Sav ago, representing the A. G. Long Firo Apparatus Co., was in tho city and yesterday tho committee met with him and bought COO feet of tho patrol brand wax and gum hoso. It was found that this hose v.-ould last about twice as long as tho ordinary white hose and would not mildew. This fact was proven after examining about 700 feet of old hoso that had been stored away in the fire hall and among this was one section of tho wax and gum treated hoso which was practiciily as good as now, while tho white hose was mildewed and in very bad condition.

IS BOUND OVER TO TIIE GRAND JURY. Geo. Cummins, alias Geo. Small, has been jailed at Nortli Bend for passing bad checks. This fellow pass ed a check on the Racket store here for $19.05 with tho name of F. L. Christie forged to it, a short time ago. The following from the Nortn Bend Harbor tells of his operation in tho bay city. "George Cummins was this morning bound over to await the action of tho grand jury on a chargo of passing forged checks and his bond was plac ed at $1,000 by Justice Shuster. Bo ng unable to give the bail the man will go to the county jail. Cummins is the check artist who has managed to pass several bad checks. Ho got away with one for $10 at tho Eagle saloon in Marshfield. Another for $19.00 ho passed on William Schrock in this, city and one for $19.05 ho pass ed at the Racket store in Bandon. At least Cummins docs not deny that ho is the man who passed tho Bandon check as well as the ones here. The check Jio passed in Mr. Schrock's sa loon was alleged to have been given him bjtho sash and door factory. Tho man did not have tho right name of tho manager of tho factory on the check but Mr. Schrock in his haste in cashing the check did not notice tho mistake. Another (fleck for $10.85 tho man tried to pass at the Fix-up but not succeeding, he passed it nt tho Voltz saloon. Cummins is a pe culiar sort of a fellow. In jail last night ho did not deny that ho wrote tho checks but pretended to remember nothing about it or else had a very poor memory of tho whole affair." CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY HAS GOOD RECORD Salem, Ore, Oct. 8 As an answer to tho opponents of Congressman Hnwloy, who say that he has been loafing on his job at Washington, tho following has been given out by tho Congressman's friends: Up to September 19, 1914, there had been a net total ft House bills and resolutions reported during tho present Congress of 740. On tho bas is of the 435 members of tho House, the pro rata share of each member would bo less than two bills reported during the. present Congress. It will thcreforo bo seen that Representative Hawloy has secured favorable action on 'more than four times his share. A Democratic member of the Com mitteo on Rivers nnd Harbors in a public statement, printed in the press last March, after tho passago of tho River and Harbor bill by tho House in which Mr. Hnwley had appropriat tions aggregating almost $1,750,000 for 10 differont projects in his district or 1 per cent of tho total, said : "Of all tho Congressmen who ap peared before tho River nnd Harbor Committee this (session to muko np peaU for appropriations for wator wnyi in tehir respective illtriut none was no wull equipped with fact uml figure und none inuilu miIi u fa vorable pudental Ion of fact u lleprwuntutivu Ilnwley of Orotfon."

Tho first appr6printion made for this improve mcnt was secured by Richard Wil liams, then representing Oregon in Congress. After he retired ho was followed by such' able men as Reprc' sentatives Whittaker, George, Her mann and Tongue, all of whom wero nble men and known to look well af ter the interests of tho state. The nverage appropriation secured by these men for tho improvement of Coos Bay each year was $34,500. In the six years in which Mr. Hawley has had an opportunity to secure ap propriations for Coos Bay, this year not being counted, ho has secured $543,920 for Coos Bny, which is all the engineers have recommended, and is' an average of $90,050 per year. For tho erection of public buildings the maintenance of tho Chemawa In dian School and other purposes he has secured more than $4,000,000 dur ing his service in the House without attempting to estimate what his ef forts will secure during the present Congrc&s. On matters of national and international concern, Represen tative Ilnwley has taken an activo part. On March 5, 1914, in an address before tiio House on our national ag ricultural policy, which address has been known as the most able pre sentation of.that policy ever made to tho House, Mr. IlaMey took occasion to urge that tho Panama Canal should be considered as a part of the waterways of this country, that no tollshould bo charged-for American coastwise shipping in order that tho products of the west and tho manu factured ni'ticlos of tho East could bo exchanged with ns little charge for transports! oin .as .was .possible. When tho President proposed to repeal tho free tolls provision Mr. Hawloy con tinued his opposition and made an other able appeal on March 28, 1914, when ho laid before the House many reasons why the repeal of that pro vision would be ngainst the welfare of the state and nation. Ho hns been equally diligent, successful and aggressive in other matters and the long list of his accomplishments dur ing his activt sorvico in the House arc well known to people in every community in tKo state."

The Club and Office saloons wero put out of business Wednesday night when the council revoked their li censes for having been convicted of selling liquor to minors, and ns a re sult Bandon has only five saloons. The Club saloon belonged to J. W. Coach and tho Oflico saloon to Arth ur Conch, although the licenso was in the name of Geo. Button. The session of the city council was quite exciting and standing room was at a premium in the nudlonco room, it being generally known that the sa loon cases were to como up. Tho Coaches were represented at tho moctng by their attorney, F. J. Fee- ney, and City Attorney Treadgold was tho chief sponsor for the city. Some very pointed remarks were passed between the two attorneys, charges and countercharges as to mo tives, etc., flying thick nnd fast. How ever, under tho charter, thero was only one thing for the council to do, nnd thnt was to rcvoko the licenses, as the saloons in question had been convicted of allowing minors to have liquor. Tho vote for rcvoklngjttie Club sa loon license was unanimous, while that to rcvoko the Office saloon was three to two. The council on this motion voted as follows: Mast and Dippel, No; Sorcnson, Chntburn and Gallicr, Yes. Practically the only business trans acted at the council meeting was the revoking of these licenses, nnd there was a large amount of other business to be attended to a special session will be held tonight.
