' : S3 Frederick Augustus H e I n a e , Copper Man, Once Reported as Multl - Millionaire, Wbo Is Reported Dying at His Home , In New York. as a multi-millionaire, was dying. His Counsel, William Travers Jerome, said he was suffering from a serious arrec tlon of the liver, and that it would shorten his life to require him to ap pear in court. The litigation grew out of an effort to reopen a case In which judgment for $275,000 was obtained against Heinze by default by Edwin Gould and William Nelson Cromwell. It was for a promis sory note given after the panic of 1907 in part payment for stock of the Mer cantile National Bank, which Heinze took oven Alton B. Parker appeared for Gould and Cromwell today, opposing the mo tion to reopen the case. I would like to have your honor go in person to be sure that nobody plays possum on us." he said, "for, in my long experience in such cases, I know that any man who does not want to be examined can have hemorrhages ga lore." Later three physicians and several lawyers called at Mr. Heinze's home and ex-Judge Parker explained they would examine the copper magnate to determine whether it would endanger his life if the taking of an affidavit were not postponed.

"BIGGEST TROUT" TAKEN BY WARDEN FROM DESCHUTES. r v "A ; . f 1 C M. McKay and His Flh. BEND, Or,' June 18. (Special.) A new record for big fish has been set for the Deschutes River. This time the "biggest fish" is not the one that got away, but the one that actually was hooked and landed and now occupies the center of a block of ice which in turn is'the center of local sports men's Interest at a downtown store. The big fish is a "red Bide" trout, measuring 26 inches long and weighing seven pounds. Its girth is 13 inches. The lucky angler is Clyde McKay, deputy game warden, who landed the big fellow Sunday at Crane Prairie, near the headwaetrs of the river some 40 miles from Bend.

BANDON BEEHIVE OF MANY INDUSTRIES Railroad Ties, Telegraph and Telephone Poles Are-Shipped . Out by Millions. "CITY BY SEA" IS GROWING Optimistic Citizens Say They Have Largest Per Capita Payroll in Ore gon Place Popular as Bathing Resort Railway Is Planned. Br ADDISON BENNETT. BANDON. Or., June 18. (By Staff Correspondence.) "Bandon by the Sea' is what these people like to have their town called, I mean their city. Bandon is no longer a hamlet, village or little town. It sure is "by the sea." It also is on the Coqullle River. I can step out on the back porch of the Gallier House, where I am stopping, and hurl a stone almost into the ocean. By the street It is not more than 150 yards from the hotel to the Inner end of the Jetty. While there Is no great depth of the water here, perhaps 14 feet la all that can he counted on there is tremendous amount of shipping to and from the Bandon port. There is a good harbor when the vessels once get inside and this har bor is about as busy a place as there is along the Oregon coast. There are fine docks or wharves and these are piled high with freight of all kinds. One of the great industries is tne shipping of telegraph and telephone poles and railroad ties. The docks are piled high with the ties and there are many great rafts of poles In the river. Tie and Pole Industry Big. These ties and poles are made from white or Port Orford cedar. The ties are practically rot-proof and the poles will outlast others, it is said. Years ago much of the timber around here was cut off, but there was left great mass of old logs and poles. supposed to be worthless, as the trees had fallen years and years beiore, ana many fires had swept over them. Later it was found that this agea debris, or supposed debris, was one of the best-known woods for the purpose. and a great industry sprang up. It will last for years to come. The Santa Fe Railroad has taken millions of these ties and will take millions more. Since my last visit here. In Novem ber. 1912, Bandon has grown much. The residence section has spVead out for long distances on the hills, or high ground, many large and substantial business buildings have been erected, much paving has been done, the wharves have been greatly improved, miles of sidewalks and curbs have been put in and now Bandon Is about as nice a little city as you can find in Oregon. The population is around 3000, possi bly a hundred or so less. But the bus iness aspect bespeaks a city of many more people than that. Per Capita Earnings f-2.25 Daily. The Bandon people figure that per capita they have by far the largest payroll in Oregon. It is about 12.25 per capita per day, or some $7000 each working day of . the year. One wonders. at first, who pays all this money, but when one looks at the shipping indus try and the longshoremen, the mills and box factories, several ship-building plants, the creameries and the ad jacent coal mines, the logging, tie and pole camps, the large mercantile estab lishments, the small and large manu facturing plants in other industries, it is found that Bandon Is a regular bee hive of industries. Bandon by the Sea." I suppose the name arose from a further reason that Bandon lays great claims to being a Summer resort. The beach here is noted for Its beauty and adaptability as a bathing resort. It Is well patronized during the Bum mer seasons, particularly by the people up the Coquille River, as far as navi gation extends, particularly Myrtle point. ( There are excursions run down here almost every day during the bathing season, and many others come down to dig clams, delve for rock oysters ana other shellfish. Many more come "crab bing." For crabs it is said the waters hereabouts are unexcelled. City Has Three Newspapers. Bandon has three newspapers, the Western World, the Bandon Recorder and the Bandon Surf.' Felsheim & Howe run the World, Charles Koph, the Recorder, and Miles Moore, the Surf. The Recorder is a semi-weekly and the others are weekly. Each has a good Job department and all of them seem to be doing well. There are two banks, the Dirst na tional and the Bank of Bandon. H. L. Houston is president and E. B. Webb cashier of the former and John L. K.ro- nenberg, president, and Frank Fahey, cashier of the latter. These banks serve the people well, especially in panic seasons, when other banks close their doors. Both have large deposits and pay good dividends. There are two good hotels here, the Bandon House, kept by Ernest G. Cas- sidy. and the Hotel Gallier, kept by Steven and Ed Gallier. I am stopping at the Gallier, where I was welcomed by the clerk 4who has been there for six or seven.ears, J. D. wells. He called my name, knew me well, grabbed my hand, touched the belL" One likes to be remembered when he enters a hotel. There is no hotel clerk in Ore gon who understands better the art of making the guests feel at home than Wells of the Gallier.

There are five boats plying- regularly between here and San Francisco and intermedi ate points, the Elizabeth, Fifield, Speed well, Brooklyn and Grace Dollar. There are several coasters making such har bors at Gold Beach and Port Orford, the Rustler and Randolph among them, that touch here regularly. As to the freight carriers those men tioned carry freight and passengers well, there must be 20 different sloops and schooners that come in here and take out loads several times each year. It Is no uncommon sight to see eight or 10 vessels in the lower harbor at the same time, aside from the river boats; there are several of them. One can get up as far as Myrtle Point twice each day and as far as Coquille five or six times by these craft. The boats are well fitted for passengers and the trip a most delightful one. for the Co quille River Is a beautiful stream. Climate la Equable. The climate nere is very equable. It never gets eold enough to freeze, never gets very warm, that is uncomfortably warm. The sun may be pretty hot In the middle of the day, that is apparent ly hot; if you look at the thermometer, you will find it in the eighties. The nights are always cool. At the Gal lier the landlord told me they had a fire In the office stove every night of the year. Taken all-in-all Bandon is a line place, with about as good an outlook 88 any place along tne tjoast. i ne dairy Industries alone would build up a city here, for there are as good open ings for the dairyman hereabouts as can be found anywhere. All around there is fine land for sale at low prices. The pasturage is good the year through. Up the Coquille for 60 miles, down the ocean front towards Port Orford, up as far as the Coos Bay jetty, back In the hills to the east, northeast and south east, all around, the cows are coming in rapidly, but there Is plenty of room for thousands more. There is another thing about Ban don that always pleases me the opti mism of the people. You can take in every business house In town and ask "how's business" at each place and the universal answer will be "good." There seems to be a dearth of knockers and soreheads and a full quota of men who believe In the town and are always ready and willing to say a good word for it. Where there is a majority with such faith, a city cannot fall to forge to the front. Bandon will surely keep up her growth for years to come. And when the Willamette-Pacific trains start running through the townl Then Bandon will surely become a place of great Importance. The right-of-way lies Just through the eastern part of town, on the high land, then follows closely along the present wagon road to Port Orford. After leaving Coos Bay, Bandon will be the largest place touched until Empire Is reached, more than 100 miles south of the Cali fornia line. Yes, with the completion of the Willamette-Pacific, Bandon will be known as a place of great importance. BAKER COUPLE ELOPES NOTES INSTEAD OF 817PPKR GREETS PARENT or BRIDE.
