BANDON, OREGON, THURSDAY, Volume XXIV. GALLIER ELECTED , FIRST MAYOR Election Quiet and Exceed* ingly Close for all Officer* ALL CANDIDATES ARE POPULAR k MEN ____ At the city election last Wednes day, Stephen Gallier was elected mayor over A.’ McNair, by one majority. The contest for the other offices was almost as close, Geo. P. Topping winnnmg out for municipal judge over A. D. Morse, by three votes while L. J. Radlev had about the same majority over G. B ak for councilman The closeness of the election is no doubt due to the extreme popular ity of all the candidates, as they are gentlemen of the highest degree, and no matter who would have been elected the city administration would have* been in good hands. The most unsatisfactory condition of the whole election was that livre was One more ballot in the box than the clerks of election had registered on tf»e books. How it all happened is the^-perplexing question, but it is presumed that at some time during a rush tfef they failed to register a name. The situation is the more awkward from the fact that that the election laws make no provision for any thing to be done in such cases Some suggested the idea of another election, but there is no law for such it cannot b< election, consequently < The only plausible way out held. of it is to' abide by the result as it now stands. • Fifield in Friday The steamer Fifield left San Fran cisco yesterday for Bandon and will probably be in tomorrow. She will resume regular runs to this place as will also the steamer B ndon in the near future. The Fifield is a first class passenger boat anil carries obout 7501,000 feet of lumber as well as other freight. The Bandon, while not a pas^engtr boat has about the same carrying capacity as the Fi field. These two boats together with the Elizabeth and the schooners that will be* constantly coming in will liven things up around Bandon to a considerable extent. The Estabrook Co. have an nounced that they, will carry freight on the Fifield and Bandon for $3.00 per ton to Bandon and the freight for up river points a ill be reduced to $3.50 This is 50 cents cheaper than has been the rate here-to-fore. They also announce that they will carry lumber and other freight to San Francisco cheaper than any steamer has ever yet done I he an nouncement of a lower rate will be very welcome. Pressey - Ruegnitz A wedding in which all Bandon- ians are especially interested was solemnized at Marshfield Monday when R. M. Pressey, the esteemed manager of the Bandon Creamery Co. and Miss Marie E. Ruegnitz of McGregor, la., were united in the holy bonds of wedlock, Judge Pen nock, officiating. The bride is a stranger here but she is a young lady of excellent family and is more than ordinarily accomplished. By profession she * is a manual training, teacher and is a. graduate «4 the Jiloyd Schoql .<>!

Sam Johnson, the genial purser of the cruiser, Liberty, in crossing the plank from the boat to the shore took a tumble into the classic waters of the Coquille, and but for the promptness and coolness of Chief Engineer Dunham who acted the part of the Good Samaritan in fish ing him out and landing him on the deck of the steamer, he would no doubt have remained in the crys tal depths. Whether his bath was sufficient to purify him and make him see the evils of his way our in formant was unable to state Mr. Johnson maintains strongly that Capt. Banter wanted to see w hether he could sw im, but the Captain contends that Sam was gazing at some barrels and kegs on the cruiser creating a mirage in and he took Sam’s vision the same for a plank with the Bystanders who saw above result. the mishap say that he looked like a mermaid when he came out of the water, and that the only thing Sam regretted was that that some paper would get hold of it and use it as a good story. ----- OOO------- Washing Out North Bank The breakers on the bar have been constantly washing away the sand or. the north side ol the Co quille river anil unless something is done in the near future to check their fury, the residence of the light house keepers will be in danger, before long. One hundred sacks of sand were deposited over there last week which will give temporary re- • lief, but something of a permanent nature will have to be done in order to secure the safety of the.building. Capt.Wiren has notified the proper authorities of the situation and it is ikely that sonfething will’be done very soon. . It has been reported by some t>ut- • Mrs. A. M. Bonham is in Bandon directing the play “Maids From A'aska’’ which will be given at the Opera House Saturday evening Dec. 12th, under the auspices of the Roy al Neighbors. The play w ill be put on by local talent and there promises to be something to laugh about all the time. There should be a good at tendance on that evening as those who go will certainly get their money’s worth Lyons-Johnson Mill Running The Lyons-Johnson mill is now running at full capacity again, after a long shut down. The mill has un dergone considerable repairing and improvements and is now in first class condition for work. It is turn ingout about 50,000 feet of lumber a day. — 000------- Presbyterian Church Preaching at the Presbyterian Church the first and third Sundays of each month, both morning and evening.

DECEMBER 3 1908. • • S SELLING FAST because it is only five min utes walk to th« manufacturing center. Work men can go home to their meals without being hurried. Houses are more in demand in that locality and rent more readily and at betterprices than any where else in Bandon. If you intend to get a lot, act now as they will soon be gone. It costs only a trifling self denial to own your own home where you are sure you can not be ordered out at the end of the] month and the amount you are now paying for, rent will do the work. Be wise to this and^get]a|lot^while you can on easy'terms. ; - * g I T. B. Wheeler Opp, the Post Office.
