Everyone Should Be Inter*
••ted in Establishing
Such Port
mu. BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO OS
The family of the late Grant
Ames received a draft for $3000,
through E. E. Oakes, Clerk of the
local camp of Modern Woodman of
America. The draft was drawn on
the Iowa Nation d Bank of Des
Moines, la., and was the full amount
of life insurance carried by Mr.
Ames in the Modern Woodmen
Lodge.
Mr. Ames died on Dec­
ember 15th, four days after the
directors oi the lodge had met for
December, consequently the claim
had to go over to the January meet­
ing.
The claim was immediately
acted upon and had to be sent back
and forth once or twice, consequent­
ly the receipt of the money has been
very prompt, taking everything into
conisderation. The Modern Wood­
men of America are always very
prompt in paying claims and that is
one reason why the society is having
such a rapid growth.
To establish the Port of Coquille
River should be the first desire of
every citizen along the river, now
that the state legislature has passed
the bill allowing the establishment
of Port Commissions.
There are three things this valley
must have and will have in a com­
paratively short time, they are: a
well designed and legally constructed
port, a railroad leading to some
transcontinental line, and electric
lines running up and down the val­
ley and down the coast. Of the
three the port is the most important
one at the present time, and in fact

PR06RESS
IS VERY SATISFACTORY
The equipment for Bandon's new
school building is arriving very
rapidly. The material for the heat­
ing plant is now all on the ground
and Mr. Wcaverson, who is install­
ing the plant, but who has been in
Portland for a short time, returned
Tuesday and is now arranging
things in their proper places. The
heating api aratus is all modern and
will be very satisfactoiy in every
particular.
The slate blackboards will arrive
within the next ten days, arrange­
ments are in readiness for their ini
mediate ins1 allme.it.
the slate
blackboardss will be greatly ap­
preciated by the pupils and te tell­
ers as they will add gre >tly to the
convenience of the blackboard work.
At a meeting of the school board
Tuesday night it was decided to go
ahead and plaster the thi rd story of
the building, as it will have to be
used for school purposes not later
than next year, and it will be much
cheaper to go ahead and plaster it
now than to wait till later on, be
sides it will be much better because
of the fact the dirt and muss ma ie
necessary later on will be avoided.
It will probably add a few hundred
dollars to the present cost of the
building, but will be much cheaper
in the end than it would be to plaster
it later on.
The work of building in general is
proceeding very satisfactorily and
everything will be in readiness for
occupancy in the near future al­
though it will not be ready by Feb.
15th as was first intended, possibly
thirty days longer will be necessary
to get everything complete, but ow­
ing to the extremely bad weather
of the winter the progress has been
exceptionally good.
The work of the schools this year
has been very satisfactory there hav­
ing been complete hirmony all the
time between teachers and pupils,
and between the board and teachers.
Mail Service
Coos Bay people have taken up
the mail service question with
Washington authorities, it might b
well for Coquille valley people to
do likewise, as our service has been
very poor recently.
No fault of
anyone on this end of the line, but
oi the contractor who carries it on
the stage from Roseburg to Myrtle
Point. The rapid growth of mail
business to and from the Coquille
valley has put a crimp in the cal­
culations of the contractors, made
when they submitted the bid for
four years and it is said to be a
money losing proposition now, but
the government is protected by
bondsmen so that it can enforce the
specifications of better service if it
so desires, and il lhe proper steps are
taken by the people of this valley
the service can easily be made bet­
ter.
