People Here are Indignant Over Oregonian’s Mis representation NO TIDAL WAVE IN COOS CDUNIf People of the Coquille Valley are indignant over th«' exaggerated story in last Saturday's Oregonian and we understand that the same feei'Ug exists at Coos Bay. The aforesaid paper states that at North Bend a child was washed of! the dock and the body went ashore at Marshfield, but • eports from tile bay are to the effect that there is no truth in th«? story. The Oregonian goes on to say that a boat belonging to the Coos Bay Coquille River Trans- poitation Co. is said to have maroon - e I on a sand dune north of the Co- quille river. In the first place there is no such transportation company in existance, and in the second place (lie Ixxat was only a private launch, belonging to Fred .Kerrigan of Co quille, and the people ill it were on the boat had a narrow escape but were ¡licked up by the Dispatch a tew minutes after the accident and taken t > Coquille. The accident was due to the swollen condition of Beaver Slough, owing tn the r«’cei»i freshets. Such a report as appeared in the Oregonian is a detriment to the whole of Coos county and while that paper is usually reliable, yet it certainly jumped at conclusions in its write up of this particular event, and the person or persons who sent in such a report should be called to answer for the same. tCoos county is alri >ht and we have the most favor able conditions to be found any where, and we do not blam Coos Ray people for being indignant over the slam as Coquille valley people are also, and the bay received a worse slam than we did. ------- OOO------- Death of Pioneer John I lamblock, of Parkersburg, one of the early settlers of the Co quille valley, «lied at his home last Sunday. Mr. Hamblock was about 78 years old and has been tn C«x>s county 35 or 40 years. He was a highly respected and an energetic citizen. Probably no man in this section of the country was better known than M . Hrin- block and none was more universally liked. He was of sturdy German parentage, and spent his early days in Missouri where h was married. He leaves considerable property and has always been a man of sturdy habits. His wife died some years ago, but he leaves five children, all of whom are in this county. They are : Mrs. Francis Flam, Mrs. Em ma Drain, Mrs. Margaret Rose, John V. Hamblock and Fug me Hamblock. The funeral occurred at Co<piille Tuesday. Quite a num ber from Bandon were in attendance at the funei il. he being w< II known here. Number 3 JAN. 28. 1909. GREATER RECEIPTS Will Play in His Masterpiece Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Biggest Musical Success In THURSDAY, Substantial Showing in Local Post Office Over 1907 The receipts of the Bandon pi st- office for the year 1908 exceeded those of 1907 by the large sum ot $850.01. The 1907 receipts were $2570.29 cents while those of 1908 reaced the big figure of $3420.30. This amount includes only the ac tual money taken in for stamps anil box rent. If the money order busi ness were also figured in it would bring the business up many thousand dollars more. The large increase lor the year shows that the city and country around are in creasing in population at a rapid rate. In the face of the fact that the ¡>ast year has been considered a hard times year and the Christmas postal business tell eff materially, the increase for the year is remark able.

Local business men are very much interested in the proposition and w.ll be ready’ to act as soon as the company is ready to go to work. A wireless station for Bandon would be of great value, not only for taking messages from vessels at sea, but for commercial purposes as well, and busmess men are very much interested in getting a station. Mr. McCord says the company is ready to act at any time so there seems to be no reason why the sta tion should not be installed* in the near future, as the volume of busi ness will easily be sufficient to pay from the start and will increase from month to month.
