A fair indication of the number of transients in and, out. of Bandon tar 1S12 is taken from the register of the Gallier Hotel, which is one of the three good hotels in Bandon. This register shows that there is an average of 25 dally, making 9123 for the year. . 7VCnr-fe Jyn& J&cfe-Ztte- frez&2 f . BANDON'. Or-Jan. 25. (Special.) "How lo you reach Bandon?" is a question that puizlcs the trans portation agents of the South and East and even along the Pacific Coast such a question is toi much for many of the employes in the railroad and steamship offices. In order to locate the place, tuey must refer to the route books and maps. The writer, coming from tat tle Rock. Ark., last May on the South ern Pacific, by way of San Francisco, asked at the Southern Pacific office, on Third and Townsend, in San Francisco, the direction to Bandon. Fully 20 mlnute3' time was consumed in looking up the location of Bandon. Not until the last two years has any means of transportation been in serv ice that has been measurably adequate to handle the traffic coming In and going out of the Interesting port or Bandon. The pioneers, such as Colonel It. H. Itosa. William Hammerburg, the Pushbakers and Noslers. had to make trails for themselves inland through the deep forests in order that an occa sional trip might be made to the base of supplies and to the nearest postof tlce at Hermansvllle. This place was reached by the mailcarrirer out of Itoseburg and was the only office for many years in the Interior of Coos County. At the present time Bandon is forg ing into the notice of travelers and prospectors throughout the Nation and occupies a conspicuous place on the maps. There are 18 oceanic vessels that regularly call at Bandon's harbor. Four of these ply between Bandon and San Francisco, two between Ban don and Portland and the remainder are coastwise trade vessels. New Roidi Planned But Inland highways are not as well developed, though much has been done to Improve and open up new avenues. While the wagon roads are not passa ble this Winter for automobiles, other conveyances can get through. In Sum mer travel by any sort of conveyance Is a delight all the way from Bandon to Roseburg, a distance of S5 miles. The Coos-Curry County Good Roads Association is agitating the building of a hard-surface road from Bandon and Marshfield to Myrtle Point, thence on the Douglas County line. Since the state failed to call into existence an amendment allowing counties to raise the road tax limit, a petition Is before County Courts of Coos and Curry coun ties asking for an assessment of a small mlilage. The Increase in tax from this source will enable Road Dis trict No. 1ft to pot the road In that dis. trlct in the best possible condition. When this road connects with the Douglas County . road, completing the stretch from Myrtle Point to Roseburg. the perils of this stage route will be forever gone. , "But how do you reach Bandon?" is the question, after one has gotten as far as the railroad will bring him. A brief story of the means of transporta tion along the Coquille River and the number of passengers carried during 1912 will convince any doubtful mind that Bandon has been reached and that what so many have done anyone else can do. - ' The Coos Bay & Eastern Railroad & Navigation Company's line. extending from Marshfield on Coos Bay to. Myr tle Point, at the head of navigation of the Coquille River, connects with steam ers from the outside world ana carries its passengers to Coquille, 20 miles from Marshfield. At Coquille. connection Is made with the Coquille River steamers for Bandon. The distance from Co quille to Bandon is 23 miles. River Traffic Die. -There are four freight and passenger boats on the river two from Bandon to Myrtle Point, and two only as far as Coquille. There are two exclusive passenger boats that make Bandon and Coquille one two trips daily, the other only one round trip. The steamer Coquille makes two round trips dally from Bandon to Co quille.' She leaves Bandon at S A. M. and 1 P. M. and leaves Coquille at 9:30 ,A. M. and 3:30 P. M. She has a double deck and lour compartments ior pas sengers. The upper compartments are equipped with Morris chairs, is electric lighted and has many other conveni ences of modern river travel. Her daily average tor passengers, since the first of June. 1912, since she began making two trips a day, has been, until January 1st, about 100. Since June 1st she has enabled 21,000 people to travel up and down the river.v The Wolverine Is another popular Co quille River boat, of which O. R. Wil lard is captain. His launch carried 13.000 passengers In 1912. This launch has seen five years' service, making regularly one round trip- daily. Next May Captain Willard will put on an other fast motor passenger boat that for speed, safety and comfort Is ex pected to eclipse anything now on the river. This boat Is something entirely new In the Northwest and will be close ly watched by others engaged in the passenger business on Oregon and Washington rivers. The hull is 75 feet in length by 11 feet beam. It has two large compartments and accommoda tion for 120 passengers. The boat's power Is to be supplied by a 100-horse-power Gorman engine and will be able to turn the 45-lnch propeller 350 revo lutions a minute. passengers out of Bandon .for Rose- WEATHER DATA COMPILED Forecaster Beals Jives Interesting Facts From Observation.

Police Making Effort to Convict Sa loon-Keeper Believed to Bo Satellite ot Tony Arnaud. . in an effort to hold Incommunicado a woman- witness against an alleged white slaver, the police and Municipal Judge Taiwell became embroiled yes terday, and a heated scene was enacted in the courtroom, with the court threat ening Bailiff Johnson with punishment for contempt of court. - Desire of a hanger-on about the court, who poses as a lawyer, to confer with the woman, In the interests of the man against whom she is to testify, is alleged by the police to be the basis of the ani mus. . Benewed efforts of the police to con vict J. H. Richter. whom they charge with being a satellite of Tony Arnaud. resulted in his arrest Friday night, and his wife was held at the same time as a witness against him. Believing that transactions in the case reached beyonj state lines, the officers held the defen dant for the Federal Court, but by an oversight the woman was placed on the docket tor hearing in Municipal Court and was sent to the women's booth to await hearing. This fact coming to the attention of Sergeant Harms, who made the arrests, his men went to the bailiff with an order from Captain Moore and removed the woman to the matron's department. In the meantime, the hanger-on got possession of the case, and had con ferred with Kichter. Contrary to all professional ethics, he desired to con fer with the witness also, and made ap plication to the court, which was grant ed. Then it developed that she had been removed, and Judge Tazwell, sum moning Bailiff Johnson,. castigated him for his alleged misconduct In allowing the woman to be removed.
