BANDON GROWING
MORE BEAUTIFUL
Little City on the Coast Takes
on New Progressive Fever
After Fire of 1914.
POSTOFFICE FIGHT WARM
Addison Bennett Makes Another
Trip to Community Which Has
Two Xewspapers, Two Banks.
Hotel lias 70 Rooms.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
BANDON, Or.. March 1. (Special.)
"Bandon the Beautiful." the people
here call this little city, and the words
are not inappropriate, even at this time
of the year, and during the Summer
months they are not expressive enough
to convey the full measure of the at
tractiveness of Bandon. I have been
here about a half dozen times, and it
so happens that these visits have been
at various times of the year, so I have
seen Bandon at Its best and at its
worst, if it has any worst. And it is a
sure thing that of the many liae little
cities in Oregon Bandon stands well up
at the head for beauty and progressive
ness. When I was here in June, 1914, I
had occasion to partake, so to speak,
of some of the beauties of the place,
for the beach was then a wondrously
attractive place, though the season was
not at its best. Also I learned what
rock oysters, crabs, mussels and some
of the other edible dainties of this sec
tion were like. I left here on the
morning of June 11, and on the morn
ing of June 12, while at Marshf ield,
the word came that Bandon was being
destroyed by fire. The fire was stopped
after four or five blocks near the busi
ness center had been destroyed, the
damage totaling near to $200,000, which
is quite a catastrophe to overtake a
little city of between 3000 and 4000
population.
Now, less than two years later, the
burned district is all built up and with
a fine lot of edifices, mostly of brick
or concrete; and, what is more to the
point, nearly every room is occupied
by some business concern. But that
does not really signify the full extent
of the recovery. The main point is that
in going over the town and visiting the
stores, offices, etc., I found not a sin
gle man who did not say business is
good except those who said it is bully.
Not a kicker or knocker, not a single
one.
Postoffice Fight In Progress.
Just at present there is a little polit
ical conflict going on here to wrest
the postoffice from the Republican
holdover, or rather to oust the Repub
lican postmaster and put in his place a
Democrat It is a good-natured strife,
although there are quite a number of
men here who are willing to lay aside
their personal ideas of comfort and
leisure to serve their country as post
master for a couple of thousand dol
lars a year. Here is a partial list of
the aforesaid patriotic gentlemen, each
of whom says he alone is fitted by
nature, political labors and education
. to accept the job for the next four
years:
J. W. Mast, Robert E. Lee Berdillion,
Chris Rasmusson, William LeGore and
Cliarles Lorenz. It is whispered that
there are others who might accept the
office if tendered to them on a silver
platter.
There are few ports along the Pacific
Coast above San Francisco that have
tliui number of vessels incoming and
, outgoing that annually cross the Ban
don bar. Bandon, as everybody ought
to know, is at the mouth of the beauti
ful Coquille River, which is navigable
up as far as Myrtle Point, about 40
miles. It would make a fine story to
write just of this river and the beauties
and business along it, taking in, of
course, the splendid farms and dealing
v-ith the fishing industry. But on
flying trip like I am now making little
can be said about the river, the fine
harbor at Landon, or even the bar or
jetty work done and being done. But
you may remember that it is seldom
you hear of any accident to shipping
at the mouth of the Coquille.
II lt Boats Make Port.
There are something like 25 boats
of various sizes plying to and from
this port, many of them ocean-going,
steaming up and down the coast from
Portland on the north to Los Angeles
on the south, and, of course, some of
them covering the river trade. Much
of the traffic from here is connected
with the lumber industries, but perhaps
over half of the 22 cheese and butter
factories pass their output through
this port, while a large amount of the
same products come up the coast from
points wen down in uurry bounty, es
pecially from the Langlois (Dairyville)
district. Then it must be remembered
that there are many coal mines up
river, and much of their output passes
out over the Bandon bar. The largest
single item of late years has been rail
road ties, made from Port Orford cedar,
These les perhapa -'.11 outlive the
ordinary fir, or even the oak. tie by
many years. They are shipped from
here by the billion and those who fur
nish them make good money.
This is also the outlet for lots of
myrtle wood, which is the finest wood
Frown on the North American Conti
nent for many purposes. You will find
practically none of it handled commer
cially except here and on Coos Bay. As
to the lumber business, that, of course,
is .one of Bandon's great assets, the
two large mills here and their logging
crews up, the river making a fine pay
roll. I have not inquired into the pay
roll on this visit, but two years ago
it was nearly $7000 a day. which Is fine
for a city of this size. One of the big
mills shut down some time ago. but is
now being oiled up for a new start and
& long run.
Bandon has two weekly newspapers,
cah one having a good Job office at
STOPS FALLING HAIR
This Home-Made Mixture Stops Dan
druff and Falling Hair and Aids
Its Growth.
To a pint of water add:
Pay Rum 1 os.
Barbo compound a small box
Glycerine hi ox.
These are all simple Ingredients
that you can buy from any druggist at
very little cost, and mix them your
self. Apply to the scalp once a day
for two weeks, then once every other
week until all the mixture is used. A
half pint should be enough to rid the
head of dandruff and kill the dandruff
germs. It stops the hair from falling
out. and relieves itching and scalp
diseases.
Although it is not a dye, it acts
upon the hair roots and will darken
treaked. faded, gray hair in ten or
fifteen days. It promotes the growth
of the hair and makes harsh hair ttolt
and 4lossyt Adv,
tached, and they both seem to be pros
perous. The Bandon Recorder Is owned
and operated by R. B. Sorenson and the
Western World belongs to Felsheim &
Howe, L. D. Felsheim being editor and
J. H. Howe business manager.
Bandon Han Two Banks.
There are two banks here, the Bank
of Bandon being the older institution.
It has a capital of $50,000 and surplus
and undivided profits of $24,418.90. with
deposits of $1S9. 789.32. J. L. Kronen-
berg is president and F. J. Fahy cash
ier. The First National has a capital
of $25,000 and surplus of $6500, with
deposits of $160,000. H. Z. Houston
is president and E. D. Webb cashier.
Each institution has a fine building,
the latter being the most modern. It
was, however, the concrete builaing of
the Bank of Bandon that saved a lot
of property in the great fire of June,
1914. The combined deposits of the two
institutions being well over a quarter
of a million dollars goes a long way
toward showing the prosperous condi
tion of Bandon.
There are a lot of small hotels and
rooming-houses here; also a lot of res
taurants, but the 70-room modern hotel.
the Gallier House, owned by E. M. and
Stephen Gallier, is one of the good
places along the Coast. It makes a
fellow feel at home and at peace when
he hits the Gallier. It is doing a large
business, and every patron departs
pleased.
There are about 900 pupils enrolled
in the Bandon schools, and the district
maintains as good schools as any town
in the state. There are nine churchej
here, and the people boast of a large
church and Sunday school attendance.
As to prohibition, Bandon never was
much of a booze town.- There were six
or seven saloons here in the days e
wetness, which is about onfe-third the
number of some Oregon cities but little
larger. These saloons were well man
aged and well regulated. When the
dryness came the proprietors closed
their doors and the place since has
been dry in fact.

NORTHWEST STARTS
MOVE FOR TOURISTS
Seattle Mass Meeting Begins
Campaign Against $17.50
Fare Differential.
RAILROADS ARE ATTACKED
Traffic Declared to Be Diverted to
California by Barrier and Fight
for Rights of North
Pacific Is Planned.
SEATTLE, "Wash.. March 1.. (Spe-j
cial.) A mass meeting of business j
men, led by Charles A. Reynolds, chair- j
man of the State Public Service Com- j
mission, today launched a Northwest- ;
wide campaign for the abolition of the
$17.50 differential charged by the
Southern Pacific system for tourists
from Eastern points coming to Seattle,
which differential operates to drive the
tourist business to California instead of
letting it come here.
Mr. Reynolds said for 30 years the
development of the North Pacific coun
try had been held back by discrim
inatory railroad rates in favor of Cal
ifornia and that traffic would come
into the Northwest but for the barrier
of the extra cost of 117.50.
""We have done enough for big busi
ness said the chairman. "The news
papers -say the railroads need money,
but they have been piling up huge sur
plus earnings for years. We are not
here to fight the railroads but to get
our rights, and if as the small fellows
we don't protest, we'll all be working
for somebody else."
Following resolutions were adopted;
by rising vote:
"Resolved, by the business interests
of Seattle, in mass meeting assembled,
this first day of March, 1916, That we
heartily .indorse and approve the ac
tion of the new Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, the Seattle Commercial Club,
the Railroad Commission of Oregon, the
Public Service Commission of "Washing
ton and our ltepreeejatatives in Con
gress for the energetic manner in which
they are attempting to have eliminated
the artificial differences in the tourist
traffic, by which such traffic is diverted
from its natural channel over Southern
Railroads to California and is prevented
from reaching the Northwest, to the
great detriment to the states of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho and the
territory of Alaska.
