BANDON RECORDER A modern equipped job department in connection BANDON, OREGON, MARCH 26, 1915 NUMBER 24 VOLUME XXXI BANDON SITE WOULD SUIT DEPARTMENT Congressman Hawley Writes Encouraging Letter. Relative to Location of Cape Blanco Wireless Tho commercial club Is mnkitiR Borne progress in the matter of secur ing the government wireless station for Bandon ns is indicated by a letter received by Secretary J. W. Mast from Congressman W. C. Hawley. This is in response to a telegram sent tho congressman by the club several weeks ago. Congressman Hawley says ho has taken the matter up with the depart ment. He says the reason the wire less station is to bo moved from Capo Blanco is that a site may be secured more convenient for obtaining sup plies and getting into communication, etc.. He thinks that the bluff south of Bandon offers a very acceptable site. Secretary Mast is requested to write the department giving information as to how well tho requirements of tho department can be complied with. The donation of a suitabid sue 10 thy department would be especially at tractive as tho government has only a limited fund to devote to this pro ject. The area required would lc in dimensions about .100 feet by 800 feet or about six acres. Tho government would like a larger area up to 20 ucres. The prospective site must have a permanently unobstructed frontage on tho ocean. Tho government wib consider only proposals for locatior where an absolutely good title in fee felmple can be given. Mr. Hawley con pludes his letter with tho remark that there is a feeling in the depart ment that tho9ridcfl-0utl,ofB:,,ulor-would make an ideal location for the station. Will Start Box Factory. Two gentlemen from Marshfield are now in this section looking over conditions with a view to starling a box factory on Sixes River near the bridge. It is reported that the gen tlemen have been offered a site and considerable spruce timber free, and that they are so well pleased that the factory will be built in tho very near future. The box material, when manufactured, will bo shipped from Port Orford I'ort Orford Tribune Mr. McConnell, who owns several shares in tho Randolph, was down from Langlois last week talking with tho businessmen of tho town with a view to putting that boat on tho run again between Marshfield I'ort Orford and Rogue River. He received con siderable encouragement and it is now announced that the Randolph will be on the run by April 1st. This will be good news to tho people of this place as tho Rustler is unable to carry the Roirue freight and give this place good sorvico at tho same timo, and as she is under contract to carry for the Weddorhurn Trading Company, when ever more freight ncumulates than she can handlo Tort Orford is the one to Buffer.

This money was fur nished him by Coquille and' Bandon parties who gave him open orders to iro to Portland and buy a boat that will outrun anything on the Coquille river. Harvey is well known here and was engaged as a brakeman on tho railroad sevcrrfl years. He is a young man of good qualities nnd in telling of his intention today, said ho will bring back n boat to liven up travel on the Coquille. That the bus iness men of the valley fortified him with funds to purchase a fast boat is sufficient approval of Hnrvey's ability to ofset whatever effect the temporary loss of his license will have. Marshfield Evening Record RIVALS ON RIVER LET DOWN EASY Captain H. J. Dunham Made Goat and Loses Skipper's License lor 60 Days The steamer Telegraph is now in charge of a new captain, the third in mcccssion who has had charge of that oat since Feb. 1st. The last change s ns the result of the decision in the icaring given the'crews of the Tel graph and Charm becauso of their ollision a week ago last Saturday. rhe hearing was before Inspectors "ieorge F. Fuller nnd E. S. Edwards it Coquille Tuesday and Wednesday. Judge Sperry acted as counsel for ho Telegraph and Attorney Tread ;ohl of Bandon represented the 'harm. According to the evidence roiight in the inspectors were con vinced tlfat the collision was largely .1 the nature of an accident. It was ,hown that a deck hand of theTelo jrapli'liad the wheel at the time of ho accident. The deck hand wan ac nowledged to be competent to steer .he boat but, as ho had no papers his .ct was in violation of the regulations 'aptain II. J. Dunham was made tho ;oat of the proceedings and was de-n-ived of his skipper's license for a eriod of sixty days. Judge Sperry, attorney for Captain Valtcr Punter, assures that gontle niiii that there is excellent prospect or a rehearing in hiscaso with tho hances good for a lifting of tho 20 noiith's suspension of license under which he now is. Captain Punter of the Telegraph isked the U. S. steamer inspector to Ix a schedule for the boats, Charm ,nd Telegraph, making their running ime fifteen minutes apart instead of acing along together. The inripectoi uiid that he lacked authority to en force any such regulation.

McCloskey, an old tnd experienced river mnn whose 'eat, in the main, has been between Myrtle Point and Coquille. Captain McCloskey was granted his license ast week. The punishment meted out by tho .nspectors is considerably lighter than ind been generally anticipated as it vas thought, being a second ollonse that all sides would bo severely dealt with. But the evidence presented was very tame and the punishnicrt was in accordance with tho evidence. The Sjieedwell got to sea Wednes day morning. She could have gouo out Tuesday morning but tho Brook lyu and Elizabeth, having been loaded first had first claim to the services of the tug. There was not time to make three tripit mid the Speedwell did not like to go out under her nun power. It. A.

Three girls and three boys entered the competition before a large audi ence in the auditorium of the high school Wednesday night. C. R. Wade, F. J. Fecney and Miss A. A. Henry acted us judges and rendered the ver dict ns above. Tho contests were unusually good. The girls especially had paid particu lar attention to the interpretation of their selections, had them well com mitted to memory and wore easy and natural in their delivery. The boys also had good selections and present ed them very effectively. . Tho "stunt" from Shakesqearc at tracted perhaps the most enthusiasm of any feature of the evening. The droll situations of "Pyramus and This oe created much merriment. Consid erable pains had been devoted to the make up of the different parts. The 'luman wall and the moonbeam were idmirable and the human lion whisk ed about the stage and roared in so ifelike a manner that it was difficult io keep the real dog who at times was i stage companion, from snapping at lis heels. The tragic self slaughter of uhc hero and heroine.took with the rowd immensely and only the fact that they had made such positive as- uirnccs that they were thoroughly lead, .preventedthe.audienc,jCcpm re questing them to come back and kill themselves over again.

D. Sheldon Finds Deeper Truth in Novels Than in Works of Biography. Gives List of Boy and Ctrl Heroes The combination of an extra good program and a free feed thrown in for good measure proved irristable as a drawing card and there was a laige turn out at the Patron-Teachers' facet in the high school audjtorium last Tuesday evening. Preliminary to the address by Dr. Sheldon, which wns the feature of the evening, there was a mandolin solo, a selection by the young ladies' glee club and a solo by his honor, Mayor Topping. All were roundly applauded, and Mr. Topping was compelled to respond to an en core. When ho had been presented by Mrs. Lewin, president of the associa tion, in a neat little speach.'Dr. Shel don began by felicitating the school patrons on the interest they took in the association. People he said, were apt to shy at the word novel, associat ing it with dime novels and the five cent shocker but he had feelings of pity for people who refused to read novels on the ground that they were untrue. While novels deal with ini maginary persons, he said, they deal with real emotions and traits of per sonal character. An author can cre ate a fictitious character and endow him , with real characteristics and ..'motions such as ho would perhaps be ashamed to reveal in an ictual autobiography and would not dare to tell In a biography of n friciul or acquaintance. Thus it comes, explained Dr. Shel- Jonjhat the student of human char acter' can find much better "material for study in the characters of novels than in tho narrations of real exper iences of- actual life. He went on to show how the teacher and parent could acquire understand ing of how character developos in children by reading novels ami in stanced David Copperficld, by Charles Dickens as an illustration. Ho recall ed how ardently David would study his lessons and master them only to have it all leave him in a panic when confronted by his stern step father, Mr. Murdslone. Murdsione, tho speaker explained, was a disciplin arian, one of the sort of men who fix a mental schedule of action in their minds and insist that the pupil must measure up to it in every particular, who are mindful not only of the re sults attained but insist that the joui ney to the goal must follow paths laid out in advance to the minutest particular. Pendennis, Thackery's hero wa3 brought forward as an explanation of to erratic actions which sometimes possess boys between the ages of 12 and 18. Ho instanced the changeful ncss of young Pendennis. He would be seized with a passion to become a par ticular variety of hero, following up the ambition for a short time, only to grow tired of his aspirations and to throw them off for something no that had freshly attracted his alien tion. The story of Pendennh' love uffair was humorously related frcin its inception to its inglorious termi nation. Other books more briefly touched upon were "The Ordeal of Richard Claverel" by George Meriditli and "Stalkey and Company" and Cap tains Courageous" by Kipling. As an illustration or type of girl character he delineated Maggie Tulliver in "The Mill on tho Floss" by George Eliot. Dr. Sheldon represents the univt-r- sity of Oregon extension department and Ids presence in Bandon war. he cured through tho influence of the li brary board. His address was listen ed to with marked attention ami at Its conclusion hu was enthusiastically ap plauded.

THEY ELIMINATE THE MIDDLEMAN Perry Veneer Plant is Busy and Plans Further Activities The Perry vcneernull is the scene of industrial activity these days. Mr. Perry now has arrangements with the logging camp just started up to se cure all the spruce logs needed. Had lie known six months ago that he would have the supply of logs, now .lvailable, ho could have secured many more contracts. Not being suns of a og supply be refused much offeree business. There has always boon a letnand for the Perry mill output und U the trouble in running has been caused by a short supply of logs. The financial success of the mill it largoly attributable to the elimination jf the middle man. The output i .'.old directly to the fruit growers as sociations and other users. The re cent addition of broom handle inn jliinery is not now being run. At pres. nt they have no equipment for paint ing the handles. This will be instal led soon. Then tho broom handles can be sold direct to broom manu facturers and the useless middleman bo eliminated there also., SEEK TO RESTORE BEACH WALK Commercial Club Takes up Project and Plans to Finance the Work At the meeting of the commercial club fast Tuesday night it was deter mined to take up the work of restor ing the walk to the beach which has been interrupted by the government making use of its tramway which had formerly been a part of the walk.

Tho lifeless body of tho 7-ycar old Littler boy, missing a fortnight, was found floating under the wharf at the foot of Market avenue. Tho body was badly decomposed.
