Considerable comment of a very pleasant nature is being heard among Bandou people upon the ed itorial on Bandon that appeared in the Coos Bay Times a short time ago; the tendency of the Times here as elsewhere is to eliminate jingo Ism and narrowness In local as well as greater affairs.

O Last evening two commercial men were having a quiet talk in a local resort and thought they had tho floor to themselves, when in comes n Times representative looking for the elusive news item, who took a position in a nearby corner and list ened attentively. This Is what he heard: Mr. Jimmy Itodgers, from San Francisco, was the first speaker. Ho told of tho great timber that was found In Humbolt and Del Norte counties in California and cited a Btory of a couple of men who came from Iowa to look at the timber sim ply as a matter of satisfying them selves of its prodigious dimensions. One was a merchant who had visited the country and had returned east nnd told tho tales which make tho man from the east lose all confi dence in tho Integrity and honesty of humanity. His friend, the banker, said he would pav tho morchnnt's and his own expenses west If he would show him the timber he had described. Should ho fall down nnd fall to make hit tnle pood, then the merchant was stuck for the trip, in cluding whatever champagne and frills tho banker cared to Introduce. Itodgers mot them at Eureka, as they were making the rounds and struck up an acquaintance. Ho was called upon to decide the wager, and having a friend vho was engaged In lumbering, called him In nnd the party of four went out to'tho best timber In the neighborhood. The first timber tho banker was shown was a redwood tree which had a cir cumference of 8 feet. Tho banker said It wns a cood sized tree and ac knowledged tho expenses were on him. To s'iow him that the deal was not prearranged, they afterwards took him a wavs farther and showed him a tree which measured 1G9 feet In circumference. This waato tree with suckers, but the banker never thought of looking above the butt THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, -MARSH FIELD, I .IMHIIIIl !!! I IIIBII !! I Ij III II and so went homo thinking there was no limit to the size of trees in Humbolt county. Mr. Peter, the other traveling man, said that was a good story, but he had seen some largo trees In Washington this summer. He went on to relate a story of a tree In Washington which had been burned down, and left the stump standing whore a woman, who owned the homestead on which It stood, was occupying the shell as an eight room bungalow, with a woodshed, cow barn nnd horse atable all in the tree trunk. When asked whnt species of -tree he had been describing, Mr. Peter said it was a BIG tree. Thereat, the re porter faded away and has been won dering since whether the conversa tion was manufactured for his spec ial benefit, or whether the boys thought they were telling the truth. A. H. Eddy has been busy since coming to town. New cottage de signs. A NEW DUMPING GROUND FOR GARBAGE A citizen of Marshfleld has com plained to the Times that garbage Is being dumped from the new ex tension of Front street on the tide lands north of the city, and says it will very soon prove a most flagrant nuisance to the general public. Citi zens or strangers who own the tide lands In question should make Im mediate arrangements to have such vork discontinued and provide for prosecuting those who are practic Ing the nuisance. The city of Marsh field has lately provided a dumping ground for such garbage, and until the place is ready some other meth od of disposal should be employed for the offal which, no matter where it is placed, Is more or less a nui sance. The new plank highway is a most enticing and tempting avenue for the ready disposal of garbage, refuse, offal, and all other matters cf promiscuous concentration, and though tho question has been raked over time and again, when tho ques tion gets to a showdown, it always breaks out in a new place, as in this Instance. ,Abate it, and provide an Isolated placo for this matter, is the sentiment of all who have any regard for the city's welfare. Football Suits Arrive. Tho football suits for the Marsh fleld High School team arrived yes terday on the Plant and the boys are planning great things for next Saturday when thov meet the North Bend team. The colors are slightly mixed, since the sweaters were or dered In purple to conform with the colors of the high school, but came in dark blue. They will be retained, however, and spectators and ad mirers of the team can imagine the colors are what they should be. Practice today will be of the finishing order and tomorrow the first game" of the season will take place. INSTRUMENTS RECORD SHAKE. New York Stations Unable To Ac count for Unusual Disturbances.
