NEW 3-STORY BUILD
TO BE i RECTED BY KNICHTS OF PYTHIAS
Boa. d of Trustees Appointed
and Work to Begin
• Immediately.
Still Landon continues to grow'.
Despite, winds, rains and floods, and
with all lhe financial flurues, still
Bandon forges ahead.
The latest ’ move in the way of
building and improvement within
the business district of the town is
the decision and determination on
the part of the local lodge of the
Knights of Pythias to build a temple.
The location is on a lot belonging
to that lodge, on the south side of
and adjacent to the Woolen Mill
and fronting on Homer Street.
From the reports we hear of the
proposed structure, all other busi
ness houses in Bandon will be out
classed, for the new edifice will be a
three story structure. It is the in
tention of the lodge to fit up ex-
cellewt lodge rooms upon the thin!
floor, the first floor to be let for
store room purposes, the second
floor, as far as formulated now to be
used for offices.
The lodge, we are informed took
definite steps looking toward such a
building at its last regular meeting,
and has appointed a Board of
Trustees, who will also exercise the
function of a general supervision
committee, which committee is com
posed of Fred Mehl, Bert Harring
ton, and John N. Langlois.
The work will be commenced just
as soon as the weather will permit,
and be rushed to completion, six
months being required to do the
work.
Bandon is fortunate in having so
strong and so enterprising an or
ganization among the fraternities.
A man who amassed quite a com
fortable fortune in the practise of
medicine Ixiught a farm in later life.
After some years experience on the
farm he made the following state
ments, which are worthy the con
sideration of many a boy who is cut
out for a good farmer, but has
aspirations for some profession for
which he may have little more
natural ability than a pig has for
music. Hear his conclusions:
“I
would exchange my age, money and
acres for youth and forty acres, and
think that I had the best of the
bargain; and I would start the farm
by planting ten acres of orchard,
buying two sows, two cows, and
two setting hens.
Youth, strength
and hustle are a great sight better
than money, and the wise youth can
have a finer farm than mine before
he passes the half century mark,
even though he have but a bare
forty to begin with.—Rural Spirit.
Here’s Good Advice.
Justice Court
The Justice Court last week pre
sented a busy scene, ss Judge
Topping started
in with* the
determination of clearing up lhe
docket which has been accumulating
many cases during the holiday sea
son, and accordingly held Court
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Some of the sessions ex
tended from breakfast to midnight,
according as the jury saw fit to
determine.
The cases of C. E, Langlois,
Clarence Langlois anil John Lang
lois against the Bandon Commercial
Co., was decided in favor of the
plaintiffs and notice of appeal given
by the defendant. Wade ¡appeared
for plaintiffs, Wheeler for defend
ants.
Other cases including the filing
and argument of affadavits and
motions, by the respective attorneys
have taken up much of the Court’s
time, which from now on bids fair
to return to the old routine and the
even tenor of its way.
At the time of going to press the
town marshal reports the incarcer
ation of one of Erin’s sons in the
town jug for imbibing too freely of
American Christinas firewater, and
thereafter creating a disturbance at
the Pacific Hotel, The unfortunate
has not yet had trial or preliminary
hearing, but will be allowed the
amplest time to sober up and reflect
upon the ethics of celebrating
Christmas in an unusual and un
seemly manner. The town police
court will then hear what conclusions
he has made and, no doubt, apropos
of the approaching new year, advise
that he turn over a new leaf.
Young Men and
Women.
Having gone through the early
trials and hardships of getting an
education in the pioneer ranch days
of Coos County, I take this method
of informing the ambitious and en
ergetic young people throughout the
county that we have here at North
Bend one of the most thoroughly
equipped and up-to-date business
colleges (The Miller-Cleaver School)
that it has been my pleasure to visit.
Their teachers are from the
Brehnke-Walker Business College,
of Portland, where they hail charge
of special work for years.
...
Here you have the advantage o
every attention a teacher am give.
The classes are not so large as in
older schools, therefore better re
sults are obtained. The expense is
not so great nor home so far away.
If you are desirious of procuring
a business education there is no
time like the present and no better
place on earth than North Bend.
Allow me to encourage any and all
whose inclinations run in that
direction. I know the importance
of it—the advantage to be gained
by it.
This letter ify, written to assist in
the upbuilding of our county and
for
• the benefit of those who wish to
better their condition and enlarge
their salaries.
In con lusion I beg you to come
and investigate. The trip is short,
it will do you good. Or, write to
the Miller-Cleaver Business College.
North Bend, Oregon. Yours for
education. (Signed-)
