e 0 BANDON, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 29. 1909. Volume XXV. WATER SYSTEM BEING EXTENDED BIG LIVE STOCK WILL PUBLISH SHOW AT FAIR Improvements Will Be Ever Greatest Seen Exhibit in the West ENTRIES HAVE BEEN PROMISED Seattle, Wash., April 18—Enough entries have been promised to insure the complete success of the Live Stock Show of the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Expo ition, and the affair will'be the most important gathering of prize animals ever held in the West. The event will be held on the exposition grounds from Sep tember 27th to October 9th inclusive. A widespread interest has l>een created among breeders and dealers throughout the entire United Stites and Canada, and several foreign as sociations are negotiating with the the intention of sending a number of prize winners acroos the ocean. The Canadian Government has appropriated the sum of $1,500 for transportation expenses, and this will be utilized by the Cattle Breeders Association of Manitoba in sending several carloads of stock to Seattle. The value of live stock exhibits on the Pacific Coast has been thoroughly demonstrated by the success following the live stock show in Portland in 1905, and since that time, the western sales of two stock associations in the east have totalled over $1,000,000. The West and Northwest are to day considered as the mojt promising fields for high class stock develop ment, and this fact has been generally recognized by breeders. The exposition appropriation of of prize money and premiums is liberal, and this has been increased by’ofieringsof individual breeders and dealers to the extent of $10,000. The official catalogue of the Live Stock Show will be ready for dis tribution early in May, and this will include all necessary information regarding entries, classification and awards. Construction work on sheds, stalls, paddocks and yards will be completed long beioie the opening exhibit.. These will be open to exhibitors ten days before the show opens. In the special features introduced into the Live Stock Show, none but new departures will be followed. It is the the intention of the man agement to make this department as valuable as can be done, and in doing this, expense and work have been a secondary consideration. —VQO------ Appointment Confirmed Mrs. Walker, whom, it was an nounced in last week’s R ecorder had been recommended by President Taft for appointment as post mistress, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of her husband, Robt. Walker, received a telegram Mon day from Congressman Hawley, that her appointment had been con firmed by the senate. This will be good news to patrons of the Ban don post office as Mrs. Walker’s service in the capacity of post mis- re*s has been very satisfactory. Notice to Trespassers Being Made and System Greatly Enlarged The Bandon Light & Water Co. is extending its system at a rapid rate and will improve the service materially in many ways. Small pipes are being taken up in many parts of the city and larger mains being put in. This will materially increase the supply of water in thes e parts of town and will add greatly to the pressure of the entire system. New mains have also been laid up Pacific Ave to Sixth Street and mains will also be laid west on Sixth street. It is the intention of the company to enlarge and improve the system just as rapidly as bnsi- ness will »arrant and they are de termined to give the people the best service possible. The pure spring water of the Oregon streams cannot be dupiierted anywhere else in the United States. Coos Bay Misrepresented An article appearing tn the daily papers last week told of 300.000 cans1 of milk being confiscated, said to have been manufactured on Coos Bay, in the city of Seattle. The dispatch before being pub lished in the Oregon Journal was corrected by an interview with A. B. Stewart, manager of the local condensary, but other Portland papers published the story as it was given out from the city of Seattle, i*r no other reason apparent ly, than to discredit an Oregon firm. There was considerable comment in this city when the article ap peared and the cause was hard to understand, for the amount pre cluded any possibility of it being from the Coos Bay condensary. The arrival of Mr. J H. Keating and an interview with him partly clears away the logs of the report to the daily papers. Last year the company manufac tured some milk that was below grade and Mr. Keating has been selling it unlabeled, not making any representations other than the truth in the matter. Among the samples of milk sent out were twelve cans to Seattle, sample cans to their rep resentative there who was to try and dispose of some of it. One man to whom the milk was shown telegraphed an order for 1,000 cases, which was double the amount the company had in stock. Mr. Keating fearing that the man had not understood the entire details of the transaction wrote him telling in detail what the piilk was and what the terms of the sale were, aiso advising him to submit the milk to the analysis of a chemist. This was the last that was heard of the milk until the story appeared in the daily papers under a Seattle date that 300,000 cans had been confiscated. If the milk is the same that was sent from here there are but 12 sample cans in the city of Seattle* It is likely some of the larger coast companies have grasped an opportunity to take a crack at Sun rise, the milk of the local conden sary, which is fast supplanting some of the older brands in the market. -Harbor. ----- OOO------ Marine Danger Pinnacle Rock, an obstruction to Not’ce is hereby given that all navigation. 14 feet under sea surface persons found trespassing on the premises known as Queen Ann Cot has been discovered S. 19 deg.

The pamphlet will contain fifty pages of reading matter descriptive of the many resources of the county besides many cuts il lustrating the beautiful scenery and great industries in the county. This will be the biggest attempt in the way of advertising that has ever been made in the county and it is believed that it will result in much permanent good, as results are still noticeable from the advertising of the county at the Lewis and Clark exposition in Portland. There will be thousands of people at the fair who will come we it with the view of locating somewhere west of the Rocky mountains, and it will be up to each community to show in the very best light possible the resources and possibilities for set tlers. This will be done in the Ceos county pamphlet. Orvil Dodge has bee.i selected to edit the pamphlet and he is now busily engaged in collecting data for the same. The plan is to have the I 00k ready for distribution at the opening of the fair, which will be une 1st and it will take some tall hustling to accomplish the work. J Mr. Dodge will greatly appreciate any assistance that can be rendered him by business men and citizens of the county. Power of Advertising John Silber of Newkirk, Okla., was sent to jail charged with tamp ering with a switch. While there he read in a newspaper of an offer of $3 for the most original want ad. Silber inserted the following: Wanted -Young man in jail wants out; suggestions solicitied that might result in immediate release; wants poet’s address who wrote “Stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage.” Address John L. Silber, Kay county jail. He got the $3, a lot of sympathy candy, flowers and pie and so much attention in his case that it resulted in an investigation proving his in nocence, and he was released from jail. Moral—Adve rtise, and do no wait until you're put in jail.— Judicious Advertising. That the Coquille River Transpor tation Co. is determined to keep abreast with the times and have their boats in constant repair is evi dent from the fact that they are sparing no means that will keep their boats up to the standard. The Favorite and Dispatch have both been on dry dock recently and have been thoroughly overhauled and put in first class conditition, and though there are some bad shoals in the river between Bandon and Co quille, yet the boats are making good time and giving satisfactory service. The Favorite had the misfortune to strike a log in the river only a few days after she came off the dry dock, doing considerable damage, but she has again been re paired and business is moving on at a rapid rate. The Transportation Company is very enthusiastic over the Port of Coquille River proposition and will render all assistance in their power to help the project along. Receives Fellowship The Oregonian of April 16 says that Andrew W. Jackson, of the University of Oregon, has just been notified of his appointment to a Whiting fellowship in physics at Harvard for the coming college year. Th's fellowship is one of three established by the late Pro fessor Whiting of Harvard in recogni tion of excellent scholarship anil of exceptional ability in physics. Mr. Jackson was graduated from the University of Oregon in 1909 Since then he has been an assistant and a graduate student in the de partment of phsics. He has recently completed some important research work in the cells used for standards of electromotive force end in volt meters and ammeters. Jackson has worked his way th ough both high school and Uni versity and is a popular student. Andrew W. Jackson is the eldest son of Mrs J. A. Cope of South Fourmile and is well known in this vicinity, where his hosts of friends wish him every success. A. F riend . pany of San Francisco Gets ft TO DRAIN TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED ACRES At a meeting of the Fat Elk Drainage Association in Coquille last week the contract for draining the Fat Elk district was let to the United States Dredging Com pany, of San Francisco, theirs being the only bid which covered the entire work. J. W. Mast of this city is secretary of the association and was in attendance at the meet ing. The drainage system as it is planned will compose nine miles of ditches and will drain about 2,200 acres of land, which will be as line as can be found in America. The amount of earth to be removed will be about 186,000 yards. Work will be commenced about May 1.5th and the entire system will probably be completed by the time the next rainy season sets in. The Fat Elk country is tributary to Coquille rather than Bandon but it is in the Coquille valley and all helps in the aggregate of budding up business in ’his section. Chamberlain Will Assist Mayor Sieve Gallier wrote a letter recently to Senator Chamberlain asking that gentleman to assist in getting tin* Dredge Oregon over to the Coquille River to dredge out some of the shoals, and Mr Chamberlain has promised to do what he could in this as well as other improvements for the Coquille river, altjiough he said then would probably nothing come up at this special session in regard to river and harbor improvements, but that he is laying the foundation for a large amount of work at the next session and hopes to attain some favorable results. Captain’s Body Found •• • o a o F. S. Perry is increasing the capacity of his veneer plant at a rapid rate, lie recently added two more stitching machines to turn out the finished product, making nine in all, and these machines turn out an average of over thirty thousand berry boxes daily. The big lay is kept busy cutting the veneer all the time and with the click of the nine stitching machines, there is something doing in the busy plant all the time. Mr. Perry is now employing about twenty-five people and his pav roll amounts to seveial hundred dollars a week. Few people, when the veneer plant started last fall, realized what it r< ally meant for Bandon and all are agreeably surprised to see that it is fast developing into a big industry for the city. In conversation with Mr. Perry he stated to the R e - CORDER that there would be no trouble in disposing of his entire output, but that he feared he might have some difficulty in getting spruce logs sufficient to supply his needs. Now is the time for people who have aptuce timber to get busy and furnish Mr. Perry with the full amount that he needs. -------- OOO------ Death of Mrs. Perkins -------- 000-------- The following taken from a Sin Francisco paper will be of interest to Bandon neople as Captain Iver- gard was well .known here.
