Robinson, at the O)>era horse Friday and Saturday evenings of last week, was one of the best musical entertainments ever given in Bandon and once again proves the superiority of Bandonians as singersand musicians. The solo parts were well rendered and to go into detail and explain all the good qualities of each singer would be superfluous, but suffice to say that all soloists as well as the members of the chorus did their work with an art that showed them to be masters of the situation. The opera was given under the auspice» of the Uni versity club, and th» proceeds, af- t«r expenses of the enteitainment are paid will go into the piano fund for the new high :»chool, which to gether with the amount raise, I from the high school play “Saving the Game” will be sufficient to more than wpay all installments on the piano lor the next year. The production of Belshazzar is exceptionally difficult task, and con sidering the short time the Bandon singers had to practice on it, their rendition was certainly superb. Prof. Robinson has now put on thied operas in Bandon and has al ways done very satisfactory work. If he is should ever come to Bandon again, he will be greeted with en thusiasm, as he is a gentleman whom everyone likes personally as well as being an expert in his pro tasion. Snyder Command» Ship. Portland, Ore.. April 20. —Cap tain Levi Snyder, of Bandon, will have charge of the steamer Argo when she sails for Tilamcok; and he will probably retain permanent com ■rand of her.

The Argo has been equipped with a two post and when at the southern ter minus of her route she will tow scoon ers in and out over the Tilamook bar for th^jMiama Lumbei Company It is said that it will take but a short time to attend to this work and she will coutinue to give a weekly ser vice out of Portlond in the freight and passenger trade, leaving here every Tu sday afternoon. ----- OOO- Catholic Mission at Bandon. As was announced last week, Father Polk, of Portland, will be in Bandon from April 27 to 30 inclu sive and will hold a mission in the Catholic church in this city.

It will give there money with which to develop their port and establish the future of the same. This election shows the godd bus iness sense of Coos Bay people and their determination to win under any and all circumstances. In this connection it might not be out of place to mention the Port of Coquille River proposition, for there should be an immediate move ment in that direction all along the liver. The Coquille Chamber of Commerce has already indoised the port queston and there seems to be a growing enthusirsm over the port all along the river and now is the time to “strike while the iron is hot.” There is nothing that would be of so great benefit to the Coquille valley as a port commission, a id a three mill tax on the property in the territory would l>e ample to pay all expenses for the maintain- ance of the port and the money would be restored to the property owners ten fold within the next ten years. . There is not a single instance on the coast where the port commission has not proved a great boon to commerce and the same will be tiue w hen the Port of Coquille river is established. Co quille ‘valley voters should get in the band wagon and move the proposition along. Wfe admire the enterprise of Coos Bay citizens and Coquille valley is second to Coos Bay in nothing therefore we should keep pace with them in the port business. ------ OOO----- Coos Co.

Judge Hanna, on Wednesday, issued a permanent injunction to restrain the county court from closing these saloons.

Mrs. Walker’s' experience in the < dice during the incumbency of her husband will eminently fit her for the position. Iles Comedy Company The Iles Comedy company which 1, holding forth at the opera house this week, and which is so well known throughout Coos county, is better than ever before -because they have been i>inforced by some very strong stage people, while all the better ones of the old company have been retained. That the com pany is popular is evidenced by the well-filled houses th it greet them 11 gilt after night and the constant applause that comes from the audi ence. The specialties between acts are also great features ol the even ing’s entertainments and this feature does away with the usual long wait ing between acts. The Iles company has been taking a good rest in the mountains during the winter and have come out brighter than ever. They will play every evening up to and including Sunday evening. You will miss it if you do not see them. Following is the list ot plays for the remainder of the week: Thursday: The Westerner; Friday: Fanchon the Crickett; Saturday: 45 Minutes front Broadway; Sunday: L ucie Ton s > C* bin.
