For Next Years Event And Additional Time Used A small company met in Drcamlnnd pavillion last Friday night and or ganized for the Annual Klakahma The purpose of the meet and organ ation is well put in a resolution offer ed by G. T. Trendgold and regularly adopted. Following is the resolution: Resolved that the purpose of Kla kahma is to perpetuate and investi gate local Indian legends, history and language, to dramatize and present the same; to use any proceeds for the purpose of a public library fund in Oandon. The following officers were elected: Mrs. J. L. Kronenberg, president; Miss Pearl Wnlker and Mrs. E. Lew in, vice presidents; It. B. Swenson, secretary, S. E. Hines, treasurer; and in addition to the foregoing a council of chieftains to act in an executive capacity: G. T. Trcadgold, J.

Of the scope of this undertaking and what form it shall take, many changes may take place between and the time of the grand pow wow at the time of the elk moon next year when the Injuns foregather again. It has been suggested that the meet next year be three days in duration with perhaps a potlach, a tourney of contests, racing, wrestling, weaving, etc., n grand ball in Indian costumes n :d the presentation of Klakahma. These are merely suggestions but they and many other things may be acted on to make a season as an annu al which will in time come to be asso ciated with the name of Bandon. Large Sum For Road Work Concurrent with theeffort which is I eing made for good roads by the different branches of the Coos county Lusinoss men's assocition, the Bandon membership took action at their meet ing in tho cityhnll last Thursday even ing. The Bandon association passed resolutions favoring the circulation of petitions to be presented to the county court when that body meets for Aug ust asking for an election to bond the county in the interest of good roads. Two percent of tho taxable property is the amount they will ask for and tho total amount is in the neighbor hood of $110,000. As soon as these resolutions are ndopted at Marshfleld North Bend nnd Myrtle Point and Coqulilc, some of whom have already acted, the petitions will be put in cir culation and made ready for presen tation to the court. The business men realize that it will take good roads to bring the country up to tho highest stage of de velopment. At the meeting of the Bandon as sociation Thursday night considera ble time was spent on the question of how much restriction should be plac on the wholesaler's agent in selling his wares to the trade. John Cox of Bear Crook wa a vis itor in Bandon Monday. Ho reports that the farmers of that vicinity are experiencing some difficulty in getting their hay crop up beouuso of wet weather. This is somewhat unusual for them hut although the rain is hard on tho hay makers it is good for grow ing stuff and is welcomed by tho land owners. Mr. Cox raises considerable produce but finds hi bout market In the stock that consumes it. Tim buy feeds rows ami tint cows feed pigs. Mr. Cox raises enough corn to give tho pigs their flnul luyer of fat, W, C T. l.

Mr. Payne expects to have the struc ture up and the roof on in thirty days and the building ready for occupancy in ninety days. He is using all local labor in the work. Besides himself only one man on the job is from Mnrsh field, a helper from the office of the of the architect. It was interesting to see the way in which the twisted iron rods were laid for the reenforcing, bend for the corn ers and wired together. In the bot tom trench 1 inch rods were used. The rods nre smnllcr"as the building grows higher, from one inch to three fourth inch and three eights inch. One Hired & Two Fired Mayor Announces Appointments at Meet ing of Council Wednesday Night Two fired and or.o hired is the way the city fathers dealt with the night watchman proposition for the coming year. When the 11 ayor announced dis decision in this matter there was some opposition on the part of various nl- dermnn.but upon due consider:! t.'oi it seemed a proper course to follow and tho action was taken. The official family circle is once more rearranged anu complete for an other year. At the council mooting Wednesday night the mayor anno.uni: ed his appointments for the coming year and the same were confirmed by t.l.c council. The officcers are about the same as last year: G. . Troadr.olis, city at torney; J. S. Sawder, city engineer; F. A. Holman, chief of police; night watchman, Chas. Cessna; water bail iff, Fred LorenUcn. The change in the night police force was the only change in the salarj drawing part of the forcy and that much was ncomplished in the way o! economy. There were also changes in tho council committee accounted for by the fact that a brand new eouusilmnp has a seat at the desk in the city hall. This is S. C. Johnson who was chosen as a successor to Stephen Galllier. Following are the committees: Streets, S. C. Johnson and J. W. Mast Lighting, Nels Rassmussen and C. F Pape; city librarian, Miss Amelia Henry; library board, Mrs. C. F. Pape, Mrs. S. J. Mann, N. J. Crnin, Mrs. E. Lewin, J. W. Mast, J. Ira Sidwoll, Mrs. J. L. Kronenberg, honorary member.

Wild Flowers Of Oregon In Water CoIors;Coasl Guard For Port Orford Exhibition at Public library Well Lovers of Nature will find some thing of special interest to them in the library this week. This is a sot of over n hundred original studies of Oregon wild flowers in water colors. Those paintings arc exceptionally well done nnd true to nature and are all labeled and will enable the student to identify the specimens he may run acroll in casuul strolls in the woods. Tho paintings were made by Miss Harriet Eddy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Eddy who have n home stead 10 miles south east of Langloin. The homestead is well up among the hills and protected from the colder ocean winds and is in a location whore wild flowers abound. There are quite a few specimens of oak on this home stead, growing on the south side of tho hills. The oak is similar to that found in northern California but grows only in favored sections in this part of Oregon. Mr. Eddy who has been several years a resident of this section was formerly a Unitarian minister in the East. Ho had charges in Neenah, Wis., in Maine and at Salt Lake City, Utah. Among the subjects of the studies nre snap-dragon, blue eyed grass, ox alis, dog wood, sweet briar, wild rose, bee balm, dandelion, larkspur, talli ma, huckleberry' bloading heart, yel low violet, Oregon grape, orchis, red buckle berry, wild strawberry, laurel, ox-eyed daisy, pink garlic, wild cu cumber, thimble berry, white vetch, salal berry, field chickweed, lupine, stone crop, buttercup, iris, yellow monkey flower, greasewood, wild cur rants, lark spur, wild gooseberry. Just before starting on her vaca tion, Miss Henry, libiarian, was busy Had One Bad Inning 12 to C in favor of Powers is the sum of the story and the most sig nificant chapter was the third inning when the local ball tossers went to pieces, booted the ball, threw it over o yj another's heads and presented the visitors with eight runs. Pre vious to that they had made n good showing, fielding nnd batting well, but the third Oh, my. Powers had n man from Riverton and ho did very well although with a little more confidence the locals could have beaten him. Hull for the locals showed up well in left field nnd Webb made a good pick up at second base.

Corner in Gay St Richmond Soldiejrs.of Fortune, Sunset Trail Another Big Fish Twa big fish two days in succession is the record of fishermen in this vi cinity last week. On Thursday, Lloyd Minot while fishing with a hand line off the south jetty hooked a large hal ibut which almost pulled him into the water before he got a brace for the struggle ahead. It took about an hour to wear out the fish but finally ho was pulled from the water, triced to a stick and thus came to town on the shoulders of two men. They had to tie the fish's tail up to keep it from dragging on tho ground. The fish was weighed in at Trowbridge's and tipped the scales at 82 pounds. The happy couple expect to leave on the Elizabeth on a honeymoon trip to San Francisco. For several years tho bride has as sisted her father in his store und is favorably and widely known in Ban don. Mr. Poolo is manager nnd partner inthe firm of McKenzic & Poolo con ducting a general merchandise bus iness at Port Orford. Ho moved to Port Orford from Bandon a short time ago. Here he took an active interest in the commercial club and in public enterprises nnd has promptly allied himself with the public spirited cit izens of Port Orford.

C. Haw ley will be at Port Orford at the time of the Agate Carnival. With this an nouncement is coupled the news that after years of endeavor Port Orford is to have a lifesaving station. The captain of the Bandon life saving station has probably more lesponsibil ity to shoulder than any other similar officer. His patrol to the south is from Bandon to Trinidad and at times his crew is expected to go sixty or more miles in order to render service. That in a boat without a stateroom.. At present the nearest life saving station to the south is at Eureka. It is said that the government is nil ready to make this improvement and only awaits the visit of the senators and congressman to make their visit of inspection.

Prewitt of Bill's Creek brought to town yesterday a specimen of alfalfa grown on his ranch. The growth of alfalfa has not made tho advance in this section or been devel oped as in some parts of the country but the speciman produced by Mr. Prewitt shows what can be done with this popular forage here. The specimen may be seen in the window of Dipple & Wolverton. A Dandy Car The One Sold By M. I). Sherrard to J. L. Kronenberg M. D.

The it, is a big fish, cornel ed and beheaded by a man named Morgan in a pool in the vicinity of the lookou( last week Friday afternoon. Morgan was out after clams but when he saw the big body wriggling in the waters of a sequestered pool a mong tho rocks he changed his occu pation and went out nftcr fish. The fisli saw Morgan and trouble at tho same time and made a dash for tho deep, blue sea. But Morgan, jumping into water up to his waist, dodged and thrust and hacked until ho had driven the fish on the beach and cut olf its head with a clamming shovel. Ed. Gallier happened along and brought the fish up to the hotel whore it had more viewers then a corpse nt a colored funeral. Then the question arose what is it? The body floated in tho water perpendicularly like a river fish and not horizontally like the halibut. It had no teeth, so it could not be a shark. It had the tail of the whale but its .body did not cur ry out tho resomblance to this mam mal Its fins were spineless and it , hud no scales. It had whiskers like cat fish but than was as far as its resom blance went to that fish. It hud a tough hide and practically no bones which inclimed some to the opinion that it might be some strange speci men of an sel. Some thought tho strange visitor was a porpoise, but porpoises are common in this latitude and people familiar with the specias denied this. Then it was suggested this visitor to the waters of our beach was a tuna strayed from its haunts in the south, and although there are many to dispute this tho idea has many adherents. The Hawaiian singers who happen ed to be at the hotel claimed to have seen the fish before and asked to have some of it served up to them. But how to cook it was the question. When baked the flesh had the color and tcxturo of loppored milk and ap parently was more suited for use in whitewashing a fence than in holding a conspicuous position in the center of a white man's dinner table. It looked like fish and tasted like fish but there is something woefully ex perimental in the idea of eating fish with a spoon like n custard. When the fish was put on the stove with olive oil it became more palatable, but still there was plenty for everybody. The fish weighed 85 lbs. Having caught a halibut and a tuna in succession, the beach people are ex pecting that a sea serpent will bo the next and aro preparing for some un usual sport when that attraction is sighted. The Elizabeth Waits The Elizabeth has been held over two days now. The first day's delay was duo to tho fact that tho tug Klihyam had to have her boilers in spected und could not be used dur ing inspection. Tho second day al though tho weather was fair croas winds worked up u rough bar and it was not deemed safe to pass over. The Phoenix is hero for a cargo. '0'?'
