MOST RARO
The constant growing import
ance of the Coquille river as a sea
port is evidenced by the fact that
there is a continuous increase in the
freight tonnage both in and out,
from year to year.
This increase
has gone on from year to year but
the most noticeable has been that of
recent years, the 1908 tonnage ex
ceeded that of 1907 by a good
round sum, and the increase for the
first three months of 1909 has been
more than correspondingly great,
over the same period of 1908. Dur
ing the year 1907 the tonnage com
ing into this port was 5770 tons, and
going out was 54.7’4, making a
total of 60,504 tons. For 1908 the
incoming freight increased to 6020
tons, the outgoing amounted to 62.-
306, making a total of 68.326.
For the first three months of 1909
th« in freight has amounted to 2,036
while the out freight has lieen 17,-
268 tons, making a total of 19,304
tons.
If the above rate is kept up for
the year, it will bring the tonnage
up ckme’to the 80.000 mark, for
1909, and there is every reason to
believe -that these figures will be ex
ceeded.
With a showing of this kind it
ought to be easy to convince the
authorities at Washington that the
Coquille river is and always will be
an important factor in the commerce
of the Pacific coast and there should
be but little difficulty in getting the
necessary appropriations for the de
velopment of the bar and the river
that is necessary to make this the
great port that it is destined to be
come.

Under tjie direction of M. E.
Robinson and given for the benefit
of the high school piar.o fund, the
local singers are again preparing to
produce the magnificent dramatic
cantata or sacred opera ‘•Belshaz
zar’’, to be given in the opera house
the last of next week.
Mr. Robinson who recently staged
the comic opera Pinafore furnishes
the costumes and the rehearsals will
be conducted each evening in the
opera house and a short lesson given
the high school students each after
noon The opera will be staged and
costumed to represent the rich
oriental splendor of the court of
Belshazzar and the electrical effects
representing the "Handwriting-on-
the-wall" will be something never
before seen in Bandon.
The high school students will
supply a very enthusiastic chorus
and the «olo parts will be selected
from among the best singers of the
city and a full ca3t and chorus pub
lished next week.
The music was written by that
gifted composer Geo. F. Root and
was originally published to be
presented in ten scenes, but has
been re-arranged by Mr. Robinson
into ’five acts for the better pre-
sentaticn in the form of an o|>eia —
The music as compared with Queen
Esther is more harmonious and
some of the choruses are equal to
the best oratorio choruses—The
solos are also of a high order and
all who take part in the production
of this excellent opera may leel that
they are fully repaid for their time
and labor in learning such a fine
class of music.
This should appeal to all lovers of
music.
