A night to ponder over the situa
tion, should have been sufficient for
the ordinary individual, but it is well
known that the aforesaid Olson, has
the average man faded a mile in his
line. After some well directed advice
from ’is 'onor Wade, who suspended
his fine upon a tear mingled promise
of reformation, Olson left the court
room with a glad eye and a parched
and crackling thirst.
Now, this Olson evidently had not
figured rightly upon our municipal
officer, who is not endowed with the
patience of Job, and straightway
hied himself fo a liquid resort, where
he proceeded to conveniently place
’steen jolts of red-eye under his
capacious belt, which in due time
had this man Olson counting little
blue devils on the new light wires on
main street. Again the vigilant arm
of the law pounced upon this luck
less specimen just as he was perform
ing an extremely difficult aerial per
formance, much to the delight of the
by-standers. He was given room
No. i in the Bastilean 1 requested to
remain over until Monday, when he
would have the opportunity of telling
His Honor all about it.
After much conversation, in which
Olson had but a minor part, he de
cided that in lieu of making a con
tribution to the coffers of our town
treasury, he would assist in a little
road work that has been needed
these few days past. He is still at
this job which will last him a few
«lays longer, and is taking regular
meals on the tow n. Meantime he is
raising a fine crop of calouses, and
has plenty of time to give food to
thought in the evenings, as he gazes
seaward from the veranda of the
Hotel Bandon.
The Postal-Card Craze.
One of the saddest deaths to be
recorded for some time past occured
yesterday morning at the fam ily
residence near the Baptist church
when Miss Ethel Van Valkenburgh
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S.
Van Valkenburgh, late arrivals in
this city passed to another world.
Although little was known of the
young lady in this vicinity those who
were fortunate enough to make her
acquaintance state that she possessed
a loving disposition and was consider
ed a young lady of polished nature.
The family arrived in the city but
a short time since, having come
from Coos county in hopes of finding
relief for the disease stricken girl.
Although every thing possible was
done to relieve her suffering it was
all in vain and the angel of death
stole silently in and carried her to
her future home. Besides her par
ents she leaves a brother who is
now on his way to this city.
The funeral was held this morn
ing at io o’clock from the home,
Rev. Townsend, ot the Presbyterian
church officiating. Interment was
made at the I. O. O. F. cemetery.

LATEST ELECTRIC MACHINER! ORDERED
Company is Composed
of
Local Men Now in
Business.
One of the urgent needs of our
little city has at last been realized,
and as the men connected with the
enterprise are locally known as men
that do things when they once get
started, we are confident that the
dream will be realized—a steam
laundry.
For the past year or
more, we have heard of several
different parties who are going to
put up such an establishment. They
are still going.
The new company, recently or
ganized have already ordered the
necessary machinery, which by-the-
way, is of the latest improved kind,
ft will be electric throughout, elec
tric irons, and all of the other con
veniences that can be applied with
electricity. This will give an even
heat, which will illiminate many
of those burned shirt fronts.
The new company will be known
as the Bandon Steam Laundry, and
will occupy the whole of the third
floor in the Shingle Mill.
Being
close to the power house, they can
receive suitable power at all times
to accomodate their needs.
The equipment has already been
ordered, and the new company are
sufficiently backed financially, as to
see that the plant is placed in good
running order, and will be under
the charge ot an expert laundryman.
Home patronage has been one of
the leading mottoes of this city, and
will be applied to this new enter
prise. The names of the new com
pany are not as yet made public,
but we are given to understand they
are prominent business men.
A delivery system will take the
laundry from the residences and de
liver it the same week.
We have
heard of mythical delivery systems
that were to have been in operation
before this, and upon the word of
the management, we printed an
article asking for the support of
such an institution, but this will be
a sure enough venture, and will be
ready to commence as soon as the
machinery arrives, which will be
shortly after the first of next month,
possibly sooner.

Three years ago souvenir or
picture postal cards were on sale
in about one hundred stores and
shops in the United States. Today
they may be had in eighty thousand
different places. What was origi
nally a fad has become a great busi
ness.
The picture postal card flourished
for years on the Continent.
Every
small town or inn had a pretty
souvenir of this kind, while in the
big cities, every place of interest
was reproduced on a postal. Then
the idea struck the United States.
The Eastern cities took it up.
Now it has spread to almost every
village. Some idea of the extent
of the business may be gained wW?n
it is stated that a man who has a
booth at a seaside resort near New
York sells forty-five dollar's worth
of postal cards a day.
It is esti
mated that as much as two hundred
thousand dollars a day is spent for
picture postals in the United States.
So large is the number of picture
postal cards passing through the
mails every day that special reg
ulations have been adopted jpr them.
It was only recently that permission
was given to write a message on the

Number 40
OCTOBER 3, 1907
During the past week State Treas
urer Steel has put up $300,000,
additional bond to the state, making
a total at present of $6oa,ooo. The
constitution requires a bond of $50,-
000 on the part of the state treas
urer, and under the law which au
thorizes the treasurer to loan out
funds to the state bank at 2 per cent
interest that official must put up as
much more bond as the governor
sees fit to exact, according to the
amounts in the treasury.
Shortly
after assuming his official duties
Trearurer Steel
executed
an
additional bond of $250,000, and, as
the funds run very high about the
first of July, the governor asked that
the total bond be doubled, making
the present amount, which is the
largest ever given the state by any
one officer.
When the additional
bond was asked there was nearly a
million dollars in the treasury, and
at the present time there is $585,000.
Inasmuch as the banks with which
the funds are deposited give the
state ample bonds, this seems like
double bonding, but it is the law,
and Mr. Steel makes no exceptions
to it. However this additional bond
of $300,000 costs Mr. Steele about
$1000, which is additional expense,
with no return to himself, and is
gracefully accepted as part of the
law.
By the way, this new bank
depository law nets the state an
annual revenue of from $7000 to
$10,000, and it is highly to Mr.
Steel’s credit that he demanded its
passage.
Besides the running expenses of
the state, the treasurer has within
the past month paid out about $250,-
000 of the school fund apportion
ment and $50, 000 for lands pur
chased for the institute for the feeble
minded, and. as a result, the funds
in the treasury are considerably be-
ow the amount of the state treas
urer's bond.—Salem Journal.
