Volume XXV BANDON, OREGON, THURSDAY, GOOD PROGRESS ON BANDON TO BE IN MON DID TIE Coos County SCHOOL BUILDING Will Field Enter Meet if There is Plant Installed, Plastering Nearly Done, Building Being Finished * WILL BE AN IMPOSING STRUCTURE i The school building begins to take on the appearance of a finished structure, although there is a large amouut of work yet to do, but the contractors are rushing the work at a rapid rate and there is every in dication that the building will be completed in the near future, al although it is hardly probable that it will be finished in time to hold any school in this year, as the school year is drawing to a close. When this structure is completed, it will be second to none of its kind in southern Oregon, and will be adapted to the carrying on of school according to the most modern ‘methods. There will be play rooms for the children, recitation rooms, audatorium, laboratory, and in fact everything that goes to make uo a modern school building. One of the best features of the building . is the excellent heating plant, which is all installed and ready for use,, whenever the build ing is completed. The rooms will be ventilated by means of a large fan, propelled by an engine, and the sanitary condition of the building will lie as nearly perfect as it is pos sible for it to be. While the building will cost a little more than the first estimate yet anyone who will take the trouble to look over the situation, and see how perfect everything is, will say that it is money well spent. The school board is to be congratu lated on their good work in getting such a building, ..nd much credit is due the contractors in all depart ments for their honest work, for an inspection tour of the work now completed, will convince anyone that it is done right and proper. One pleasant feature about it is, that there seems to be none who are dissatisfied, but all with whom we have talked have ex pressed themselves as being highly pleased with the appearance of the building and that it will stand a t a monument to the enterprise of Ban don and this school district. A good school is as great an asset as a town or community can have and when strangers come to this city and are shown the enterprise along this line, they will be much more liable to locate here and help to push the country forward to the place it should properly hold. The Coos Bay Times says: “Prin cipal Fergussen of the Marshfield High School is endeavoring to ar range a track and field meet between the Coos counfy schools to be held here about the middle of May. He hopes to have Myrtle Point, Co quille, Bandon, North Bend and the Marshfield high school participate in the event. “In case it is impossible to have other schools join in the field meet, a dual meet between North Bend and Marshfield schools will un doubtedly be arranged. The exact date cannot be fixed until the other schools are heard from and it will also depend somewhat on the weather. “The Marshfield boys are already starting to practice but will not be able to do much until the grounds are in better condition.” In conversation ’with Principal Ostien, that gentleman informed the R ecorder that the Bandon boys were anxious to enter the meet and that work would be commenced by the boys just as soon as the field gets into favorable condition. Ban don has some good material and will put up a good showing in the county field meet. - < - • - WITH NORTH GENO “Liar” Means Fight, Rules Georgia Judge Atlanta, Ga., March 22.—To call a man a liar in Georgia is a breach of the peace and means fight, declares the State Court of Ap peals in a decision. Thejlower court, which refused damages to W. W. Rumsey, who sued W. A. Bullard for $100, for having called him a liar, is reversed, the opinion of Judge Powell con eluding: “Being of the manor bwrn, the judge of this court takes judicial cog nizance of the fact that in Georgia to call a man a liar, even without threatening him with a weapon, most generally means fight There may be exception to this rule, but they are exotics and find little nourishment on Ceorgia soil and un der southern skies,” A Sad Misfortune A baby girl was born to Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Allen Monday but the little flower faded at once and the unhappy parents are left to mourn their great loss They will have the sympathy of the ntire community in their great bereave ment. Interment took place Tuesday morning, Rev. Geo H. Roach, pastor of the Presbyterian church read the ritual at the grave. Mrs. Allen bore her grief bravely and is getting along quite well at Taxes For Coos County present. It is hard to understand why The taxes of Coos county that directly interest the people of Ban these little flowers should be brought into the world and taken away so don and vicinity are as follows: soon, but sometime we may under Total tax to be collected $340.768.58 stand.

PLAY OFF THE TIE Five Boats Cross the Bar on Tuesday, Three Out and Two In Tuesday was a big day so far as boat traffic was concerned at Ban don when five boats crossed the Co quille river bar. Three vessels, the Wilhelmina, Elizabeth and Fifield went out, while the Advance and Bandon came in. Each outgoing boat had a big cargo, and the Ban don brought a/good cargo of freight in. The bar was a little rough, but there was plenty of water and the boats crossed over with ease, al though they rocked constantly in the swells. The new tug, Klyhiam is prov ing to be a great success and can take the boats out- over most any kind of a bar. The Coquille river bar is getting better all the time and the new survey, and consequent ap propriation for improvement of the bar and harbor, including the river up to Myrtle Point will be of great benefit to traffic as it increases from month to month and from year to year. With its usual custom of claiming everything and admitting nothing, the Coos Bay Harbor persists in its claim of championship for the girls’ basket ball team of North Bend, while the editor, and every one else concerned knows that» they have no right whatever to such a claim, on the other hand Bandon his a right to claim the champion ship on the ground that North Bend refused to playoff the tie be. tw een the two teams. The Marshfield and Myrtle Point games referred to by |he Harbor is the laughable feature ol the whole affair. In short Myrtle Point ------- 000------ refused to play Bandon, presumably because they had no chance to Found Dead win and the Marshfield game was not played because North Bend but John Sullivan, a pioneer resident ted in and took Marsbfiel i’s dates in the Coquille valley stating of the Sixes river was for nd dead at to the teams here that Maish the home of Mr. Hughes last Sat Mr field would not come to this valley, urday, by Fred Congdon. Congdon went do vn to feed the after the North Bend games had been arranged with the valley towns, calves, and returning to the barn Marshfield refused to play on any» called Mr. Sulh'uan, but receiving other date than the one first no reply went into the barn and scheduled, and as we could not play found him lying dead. The only relative, we are inform both teams the sami week they re fused to come at all. thus leaving us ed, that Mr. Sullivan has here, is out of a game because North Bend Mrs. Bert Patterson, a niece. Mrs. had spoiled the schedule, consequent Patterson went down on Sunday to ly to North Bend alone lies the attend the funeral. Mr. Sullivan was about 64 years cause of no game between Bandon old, and was a gen^eman of high and Marshfield. The statement that standing in the community. Professor Golden of the Marshfield high school offered to bear half the expenses of the Bandon team, for a Iles Go. Will Return game, is manufactured out of whole « J. T. Mars has received a letter cloth as no such offer was made from the Margaret lies Co., now Prof. Ostien received a letter from spending the winter at their mines Marshfield, flatly refusing to play, in the mountains at Rural, Ore. and that was all there was to it.

Having been born in Ireland Mc Gowan came to this country in 1842, and seven years later arrived in San Francisco with a stock of clothing, with which he opened a store later in Portland. In the early sixties he began the packing of salmon, and his sons are now conducting the business. When he opened the first cannery on the Pacific coast fishermen were paid 10 cents apiece for the same fish that today is worth $2.50.

SAILED Each Congressman Workin; For Interests of His Constituency BIG FIGHT NOW SEEMS IMMINEF Washington, M u ch 21.—Th. t there will be a lively contest ov< the tariff bill is evidenced by th preparations that are >eing made 1. the sponsors for the bill and thos who oppose it. Chairman Payne, supported bv his chief lieutenant, Representative John Dalzell, Pennsylvania, and tl e other Republican members of the house ways and means committee, together with Representative Brous sard, Lou siana, the newly ap pointed Democrat, will be resumed with thousands of documents and com munications for the defense of th .- provisi ms of the Payne bill. The committee's old room i on the house floor of the capital, and yesterday “field headquarters” were established thereby Mr. Payne. Directly underneath the head« quarters of the Payne torces are the headquarters of the enemy, the democrats. Camp Clark has taken possession of John Sharp Wil liams' old room, and was todav oc cupied with the preparation of the report of the minority. The demo cratic members have held “councils of waf ’ for the past few d tys in the Clark headquarters. They will make 1 strong fight against every protective duty in the Payne bill unless it is a revenue producer. While the Payne and ’lie Clark forces will be lined up against each other'on many questions, there prob ably will be several duties on which they will join in lighting other op position. This is due to the fact that Mr. Payne is not a high tariff man. THE SAINT'S BALL Fireman Fantastic on Sat urday Evening Was Well Attended l'he St. Patrjck ball given by the Bandon tire department at Bank hall Saturday evening was a decided success in every particular, the receipts being $124 and there was fun enough to bear all expenses. The money left after the preliminary expense is paid will go toward buy ing necessary equipment for the de partment. The fire boys know just how to entertain ami the dance Saturday night was one of the best ever given in the city. There is much interest mani fested among our citizens in the tire department, as better fire protection means dollars to the property own ers of the city. The boys can have most anything they want so far as money and good will are con cerneil. ----- OOO------ Riverton Locals Joseph Sell will make his resi dence in Riverton fora while.
