BANDON, OREGON, Volume XXV. THURSDAY, Number I. JAN. 14 1909. H. M. S. PINAFORE ASK FOR BIG ACCIDENT ON RIVER BOUGHT INTEREST WORK STARTED FDR MON Coming Production of Pop ular Opera Which is to be given Next Week APPROPRIATION Steamer Coquille Hit* Stern of Wolverine With Tremendous Force IN CREAMERY Lumber is on Ground for Bulkhead and W ork to proceed Rap dly United Wireless Co. Willing Interest in shipping days in Ban don will reach its climax on Friday and Saturday, Jan 22 and 23, when the Bandon lasses and sailor lads carol the story of life on board the H. M. S. Pinafore. Tht story will be told in both dia logue and song setting forth trying, serious and comic situations, all re volving about the old theme of love for a lady in which a common sailor lad is successful over his rival the British Admiral. The music of this little opera, though a comparative recent com position, has almost become a standard classic, at the same time more widely known among the music loving world than that of any other opera. Seldom indeed will the people of Bandon have an op portunity of hearing the rendition of this class of music in their home town and all lovers of good music will of course avail themselvee of the opportunity of hearing this popular opera. The solo roles are taken by the best singers of Bandon who will carry out their part in a very ac ceptable manner and the chorus is well balanced in the parts and is probably the best chorus of home people ever singing together in the city. Mr. Robinson, the director, brings with him the costumes and scenery so that the stage will rep resent the deck of the old British ship Pinafore and every attention wlfl be paid to detail that the public may enjoy a splendid rendition of th s little gem among com c operas. Following is the cast of characters: Representative Hawley In Last Saturdoy as the Wolverine pulled up at the landing at Rocky Point to take on a couple of pas sengers the Coquille was following her closely and being caught in the current of the river, butted into the stern of the Wolverine before Capt. White cculd stop her. The Wol verine was badly damaged but just to what extent will not be known until the matter is adjusted. The Co quille River Transportation Co. and Captain Willard have agreed to ar bitrate and each will select a man and these two will choose a third who will assess the damages, and the matter will be settled. Members ofj the Coquille River Transporta- tation Co. very much regret the situation, but are willing to settle all damages in the proper spirit. Carl Nelson of San Francisco As was announced in last week’s R ecorder James I ughead ot Portland is in Bandon instructing the new bulkhead o.' the north side of the river, which is to pro tect the residence o( the 'ighthouse keeper. The lumber was take over yes terday .and the work of construction will advance as fast as the weather will permit, Mr. Laughead is an expert in this line an I will do a good job. While the si u ture will be of lumber yet it will »t did and sufficient for the presen . .Jt hough a more permanent wo k of some kind will be necessary later on in order to stand the wear of years. WIRELESS-STATIfllt to put One in Here if Business Pays ASK ONLY $50 A MONTH RETURNS That Bandon will have a wireless telegraph station in the near future seems a settled fact as arrangements are already under headway with this end in view. T. B. McCord, of Roseburg, rep resentative of the United Wireless Company, i^as in Bandon last Sat urday talking with our business men on the subject, and said that if the company could get $50.00 a month out of the station, they would be glad to establish it. This amount should be easily obtained when the amount of telegraphic business at this place is taken into considera tion. It will not be long until all of the boats plying along the coast will be epuipped,with wireless, and then there will be lots of commercial bus iness. That the station would be a pay ing one from the start cannot be doubted, and prospects for its im mediate installment are very good. Tne citizens of Bandon should grasp the opportunity of getting the the station at once. Keane A Big Success James Keane, the great actor, who made such a hit in Coos county both four and five years ago, de monstrated to the people of Bandon last Monday evening that he is get ting better every year. He ap peared here tn “Fabio Romrni’’ supported by a company of fourteen people, everyone artists in the pro fession. The opera house was crowded and the constant applause from the audience was evidence of how mnch the play was being en joyed. Mr. Keane has as leading lady, Miss Neva West, who is also widely known on the stage, and as “Nina” in this great play, she showed powers as an actress seldom seen on any stage. Mr. Keane as Fabio, had an excellent opportunity to show his powers as an actor, and he cer tainly displayed them in a manner that could not help pleasing anyone with an appreciation for good work. The other members of the company were strong in proportion. “Guido Ferrari” by Richards C.laye and “Respetti” by Mr. Cooper were handled in a way worthy of special mention and “Pietro” and his friend “Pontelli” by Swift and Flynn fur nished the comedy for the play, and their work was much above the average seen on a stage here. Taken all in all the play was a big success and Mr. Keane will no doubt be greeted with good houses so long as he keeps up such a standard of plays. The company will be here again next Monday evening when they will play “Facing the Music,” a great comedy full of chances to laugh. City Transfer All kinds of draying and transfer ring.

Foster, of San Francisco originator of the Golden State Creamery Co. has purchased the in terest of Carl Nelson, also of San Francisco, in the Bandon creamery and Mr. Foster and Mr. Green, who has been associated with the com pany for some time, are n >w the owners of the local plant and are al so in the commission business in San Francisco, and will be exclusive agents for the Golden State butter and Bandon Creamery butter. Mr. Creen has been associated with this company for three years nnd is thoroughly acquainted with the de tails of the creamery business Mr. Foster is also a man of wide ex perience in the creamery business and the new firm which will be known as Creen & Foster will con duct the business in a more system atic manner than ever before, if such thing is possible. A number of alterations will be made to better equip the plant tor handling the large and increasing trade, and the dairyman and farm ers who patronize this creamery will receive every courtesy that can pos sibly be extended to theirrt Mr. R. M. Pressey, the local manager of the creamery is a young man thoroughly acquainted with the bus iness in all its forms and details and his butter is equal to any on the market. The dairy business, not only is now, but is destined to continue one of the leading industries of Coos County, and of all South western Oregon, and Bindon will no doubt be the headquarters for a large scope of country in this line. The Bandon Creamery Co. sees this great opportunity and is preparing to meet all the needs, consetjfcntly the local plant will be altered and enlarged at a rapid rate. One thing that should be given more attention in this section is win ter milking. Butter at this time of th year sells from 10 to 15 cents per pound, more than in the sum mer, while the cost of producing a pound of butter fat is very little higher. Root crops of all kinds that make good winter feed grow in abundance, corn and clover for silage grow naturally here and lum ber is cheap, and barns can be built at a low figure, and then the rain and mud will not be so disagreeable. In the Mississippi valley where lumber is high the farmers build big barns, why not do it here where lumber is cheap? Humboldt county, Calif, is producing winter butter. We can do it in Coos and Curry counties. “What»” Never?” Owing to ill health I am com pelled to leave Bandon. Monday January 18 will positively be my last day in the gallery.
