BANDON, OREGON, THURSDAY,
Lumber Company Hav­
DOUBLE CAPACITY Cody

2000 Pounds Daily
PURCHASED MOUNTAINSPRING CREAMERY
The Bandon Creamery Co. is
preparing to double its capacity so
far as output of butter is concerned
for the coming year. Last year was
the first the creamery was operated
and they churned more butter than
any other creamery on the Coquille
river, and they have now purchased
the Mountain Spring Creamery near
Riverton, and will move the ma­
chinery here, put in another churn
as well as some other improvements,
and will thus double the capacity of
the creamery this coming summer.
The daily output of the creamery
will avera e at least 2000 pounds.
Mr. N. W. Young, the butter
maker of the Mountain Spring
Creamery, has been retained as
butter maker for the Bandon
creamery, and he is said to be the
best butter maker in Coos county.
R. M. fressey will have the super­
intending of the local plant in charge,
which insures the public that it will
be well managed and every one will
get a square deal.
Butter will not be sold at the
plant in less than twenty pound
lots but will be handled the same as
usual by the local stores, however,
the creamery will sell buttermilk and
sweet cream to the public.
The local creamery will sell butter
at Portland and San Francisco thus
giving their patrons the benefit of
both markets and the very best
prices that can be secured.
Mr. Green, of the company was
up from San Francisco on an in­
spection tour recently, and c ine
through Humboldt county, Calif.,
the great dairy county. Mr. Green
says that conditions here for dairy­
ing are equally as good as those in
Humboldt county and that just as
much money can be had here as
there, although they are getting from
fioo to $125 per cow each year
there while here the average from
each cow for the year is about $50
to $75. The difference comes from
the het that that they do winter
dairying, as well as summer, and
are selling butter in the winter,
when it is bringing in at least one-
half more per pound. The same
amount could easily be realized in
Coos county if the ranchers would
prepare for winter uilking.
The Bandon creamery will have a
boat running on the river every day
which will bring milk from the up
river points and arrangements have
been made for a ;much larger busi­
ness from down the coast. In fact
the local creamery will in every way
surpass anything in its line in south­
western Oregon.
John Yoakam and W. T. Dement
of Coquille were in B indon Wed­
nesday.
The Fifield sailed for San Francis­
co last night with 427,426 feet o*
lumber, 111 bundles of broom han­
dles, 10 cords of wood, three tons
of merchandise and thirteen passen­
gers. She will return next week.
The Elizabeth is expected to go
on dry docks this trip and have a
new wheel put on besides some other
improvements. On account of this
she may not return before Sunday
and will probably sail again about
Tuesday.
W. M. McKay has taken the
contract to build a gasoline launch
for the Cody Lumber Co. to use as
a tow boat for hauling logs down
the river
The craft will be forty
feet long and well constructed. Mr.
McKay will be assisted in the work
by Chas. S. Hubbard and Lawrence
Stitt.
The boat will be built at Price's
shipyards, and will take about two
months to complete it.
The Cody Lumber Co. has hereto­
fore been somewhat handicapped
for river transportation but when
their new boat is completed it will
be ample for their present needs.

Congressman
Hawley Has
Order Included in Rivers
and Harbors Bill
FROM THE BAR TO MVRTLE POINT
The R ecorder has received a
letter from Congressman W. C.
Hawley, at Washington, D. C.
stating that the distinguished gentle
man has succeeded in getting a pro­
vision in the Rivers and Harbors
bill providing for the surveying of
the “Coquille river, from its mouth,
including the bar thereof, up to
Myrtle Point.”
It had been
previously announced in this paper
that such a project was on foot, al­
though the information did not
come from the congressman himself,
now. however, the information is
authentic as it comes in a personal
letter from Mr. Hawley, signed in
his own hand writing. Mr. Hawley
goes on to state that the purpose is
to secure deeper water on the bar
and to remove all bars and establish
a channel in the river, that we may
have on the river, adequate trans­
portation facilities.
This bill has already passed and
it now remains for the surveyors, to
inspect the situation and report, af­
ter which appropriations will be
made for dredgiug the river, and
when the government dredge
Oregon comes here there willl be
ample funds to pay all expenses.
With this work completed, it will
not only make the river navigable
much farther up, but will also allow
much larger vessels to enter this
port thus greatly increasing the ca­
pacity of the local marine busmess.
This will be the greatest thing that
has ever been done for the local
harbor and will insure the running
of ocean going vessels as far up as
Johnsons Mill, above Coquille, and
of good sized crafts going cleat to
Myrtle Point.
With a harbor of this kind, no­
thing can stop the river from being
one of the greatest points from a
commmercial and marine standpoint
in southwest Oregon, and it is high
time that the people along the river
should get busy and establish a Port
of Coquille River so as to be pre­
pared in a proper manner for the
great volume of marine business
that is sure to come.

Perry Veneer Plant Adding New One Organized and
Grand Ball Will be Given
New Machinery and Will
For Its Benefit
Employ More Help
The Perry Veneer plant has been
shut down for a few days installing
new machinery and when it starts
up again the finished product will be
turned out here, for Mr. Perry is
putting in machinery that will make
up his veneering into baskets and
boxes, or whatever he desires. The
new industry will employ about
eight or ten more hands, thus largely
increasing the force of the plant.
The veneer plant has proved to
be a very good industry, and Mr.
Perry, who is always awake to his
opportunities is using every means
to improve the plant and eplarge it
to suit the growing demands tor his
product.
The present outlook for business
is brighter than ever before, and
Mr. Perry is much encouraged with
his prospects, consequently he feels
justified in going ahead and enlarg­
ing his piant to sufficient capacity
to be able to handle all the business
that may come his way.
A new volunteer fire department
for the city of Bandon has been or­
ganized with the following officers:
L. |. Radley, president; Ernest
Boak, secretary; E. B. Henry,
treasurer; J no. Shields, chief, and
F. A. Holman, assistant chief. The
department will be divided into
companies, and the entire depart
ment will consist of about thirty
members, when it is completed, th<
companies have not been organized
but the arrangements will all lx
completed shortly.
The department will give a gram
ball in Bank II ill Saturday evening
March 20th, the proceeds to g<
toward purchasing the necessary
equipments
The fire department is something
in which every Bandon citizen
should àie interested, and there will
no doubt, be a big attendance a'
the ball.
If there is one thing that Bandon
needs more than anything else it is
better fire protection, and the boys
have started out with the propei
vim and determination and should
receive the support of every property
owner and business man.

better fire protection we have, the
lower insurance rates we can get,
consequently it is money in the
pocket of every property owner to
have the very best fire department
possible.

Seats were on sale at Mar’s Con­
