I Representing the people living along the North Fork of the Siuslaw River, four delegates from that seetlon were present at the meeting of the local Port Commission Wednesday to ask an appropriation of 500 for clearing out snags and dredging sand bars which interfere with navigation along that stream. . In the past, it baa only been pos sible for most of the launches owned In that section to come to town when tides were most favorable, and as the North Fork is one of the most thickly settled and prosperous dairying sec tions of the Siuslaw Valley, the resi dents felt they were entitled to con sideration at the hands of the Port Commission. An appropriation of $300 was al lowed them, and the remaining $200 needed for the work will be raised locally. A dredge is on the ground, doing work for local dairymen, and the work of rendering the stream more navigable will commence at once. Xo regular passenger boats travel the North Fork, as over a dozen of the residents own launches, in which they travel to and from town.

The fair association, recently organized, is now working to secure grounds for a permanent exhibit build ing. The City of Dallas has been asked to donate the City Park as a site for the new fair grounds. Arrangements will be made to pur chase some additional ground upon which will be constructed a race track and ball park. The chances of having a west aide league the coming year is stimulating interest in the building of a ball park. At a meeting of the base ball enthusiasts of Dallas. McMlnn vllle, Sheridan and Hlllsboro, held at Mi-Mlnnvllle last night, tempqrary plans for the new league were made, and It Is believed that a fast alx-team league will be the result of the meet ing. EMPLOYE DEFENDS ENGINE Engineer Ignorant of Railroad's Change of Ownership. VALE. Or, Feb. 8. (Special.) Not long since, Robert Bacon, a former locomotive engineer on the Oregon Eastern between Vale and the big tun nel, found his engine slightly disabled and took it to Boise for repairs. While lie was away the Oregon Eastern was turned over to the O.-W. R. a N. Com pany and all the Oregon Short Line force transferred. Bacon was none the wiser, however. When be returned to Vale he had no sooner brought his engine to a stop In the local yards than an O.-W. R. & N. engineer climbed Into the cab. In an swer to Bacon's question the new engl neer said he was going to take charge as ordered. Bacon resented the intru sion and a flstflght ensued, In which the combatants threw each other off the engine three or four times before the matter was finally explained. BANDON, Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) The spirit of enterprise so evident n Dnndnn timer falls to elicit re marks of praise from those who visit this town. The business streets are dotted with traders from early morn ing until late in the evening, from one end of the week to the other. This air of prosperity Is not a light Summer breeze, of uncertain origin and brief existence. Dut a good, strong trade wind coming from a substantial i inrilnAttnar a growth and stability that is a logical result of the resources lu ti"" -contiguous territory. Banuon s development nas oeen rapm. but steady, and is due largely to the practically Inexhaustible forests of timber and to the harbor. But by no means is timber the only asset in Ban don's trade territory, for the Coqullle River at the moutn or wmcn is situated furnishes salmon in com- . n1lantiHaa riaJrv ranches are numerous, apiaries are all along the river, mines prooucing coat, sm platinum are paying, woolen goods are nuifinnrrit and these Industries are merely in their infancy. Harbor Does Good Trade. ...nr.H knaiK antrred the Bail. don harbor during the year 1912. In the past two years shipments have doubled. At present there are 18 oce anio boats that call regularly at Ban don wharves for their cargoes. Seven of these are freight and passenger steamers, ana some are ran which are only freighters. The follow ing data give a concrete idea of the business transacted by merchant ma rine. This gives the total amount of .hinnin. ami the number of passengers over the Bandon bar for 1912. Lumber, 66.66S.00U leet; singles, -079 000 feet; ties, 181,000; piling. 328B; matchwood, 1036; splints, 9S56; salmon. 17 157 cases; coal. 622 tons; freight in. 16 207 ton; freight out, 2407 tons: pas sengers in 1465; passengers out, 1647. The four lumber mills of Bandon have been overhauled and have added to their equipment tnis year, two ui them having doubled. Two new timber camps have been opened, one eight-mile logging road has been built. This is the road upon which the train was wrecked last November, resulting fa tally to six men. A box factory has been erected with capital stock of $10,000 and with ca pacity of 10.000 feet. This factory will add much to the pay roll of the town. The Bandon Power Company has made extensive improvement in the eleotrlo service by building a new plant and furnishing night and day current; $200,000 was paid to the Cotfullle Val ley dairymen for milk and cream; $16, 000 worth of platinum was extracted from the mines near Bandon. Oil wells have been developed to a paying prop osition. Coal lands have been purchase wtlh the immediate intention of the buyers to open them. The woolen mills have been weaving night and day witl more orders on file than they can fill. These few facts represent the grow ing commercial life of Bandon and may be emphaslxed by a few notations as to the number of people who are at tracted to the place. School Census Iaereaaes. The Coqullle River Transportation Company report that from June. 1912. until January 1, 191S, tho steamer Co qullle between Bandon and Coqullle City, carried 21,000 pasengers. an av erage of 100 per day. The gasoline launch Wolverine carried 13,000. These two river boats transport one-half of the passengers, the remainder traveling on the Xour other river boats which combine freight with passenger traf fic, 8112 passengers- cumins on sea vessels.

Perhaps the city is getting the worst of the deal, but even a deal where one gets the worst of It Is better than no deal at all. especially In the vital mat ter of transportation. The members of the Board of Esti mate and of the Public Service Com misslon.who have accepted the terms for the city, are representatives of all parties and heretofore have been re garded as honest and able men. It seems almost Inconceivable to believe that President of the Board of Alder man Mitchell and Public Service, Com missioner Maltbie are the only upright i- .v. - i TTftith In human nature U II KB U luw 1 is too strong to accept charges that they are all disnonest.

The Interborough Suffrage Club has gone Into, the delicatessen business. They already have one store on Upper Broadway, where they sell butter, eggs, chickens, ham, bacon, maple syrup and honey, all bought direct from farmers. The first 12.000 eggs were marked "Votes for women, but this plan has now been abandoned. Why it is not stated. The women are doing a rushing business, as they are selling below the prices of the neighboring dealers, and are so much encouraged that they are arranging to start similar stores in each of the 39 Assembly districts of Manhattan and the Bronx. Members of the stock exchange are Vuildin? frffiJf. ezMtr ized and one church edifice erected. Two teachers have been added to the corps of the public schools and two new departments have been Inaugurated. There are now 15 teachers. So the moral and educational movements in Bandon keep apace with the commer cial. Bandon has attractions as a Summer resort. Last Summer, there were not less than 100 campers along tne oeacu the Summer through, and Bandon beach grows more popular from Summer to Summer. The temperature ranges from 50 to 65 tnrougnoui tne )tr. miirh axercised over the prospects that their powers will be curbed by the Legislature. Governor Sulzer's recent message did not take a positive posi tion upon the question of Incorporation and state regulation, but the indica tions are that the lawmakers will take pi rirclded stand. Senator Robert Wag ner, leader of the upper house, who Is a pretty good prophet on legislative matters, says: "There Is a general belief among the oeople of this state that there are abuses and evils which the governors of the exchange seem unwilling or un able to check. Therefore I believe that It Is the duty of the Legislature to ex ercise its powers not only to protect the Investing public, but to restore the confidence of the people in one of the great business institutions of the state. I agree with the Governor that the time for action has come, but no ac tion will be taken until all sides have had a fair hearing." Many members of the stock exchange are both openly and privately in favor of reforms. They admit that outside manipulation of the stock market has tended to undermine puDiic connoence, while "short selling" and other deal ing of like 'discreditable nature have made business extremely Dad. Tne members realize that their organization Is in very bad odor and they are anxious to get Into the good graces of the public again. Woman Forced to Pay. It must not be imagined that the consciences of the brokers are troubling them. Tbey nave lost the business. they want to get it back, and are will' lng to do almost anything to accomplish it If a woman tells her daughter's fl ance that she does not like the fit ot his clothes, she Is laying up trouble for herself.

Roberts, the State Treasurer, for taxes they had paid under the law, aggregating about 1400,800. Road Over Slsklyous Sought. MEDFORD, Or., Feb. 8. (Special.)
