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.

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.

WILL
The Coos County Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting in Coquille
last Thursday authorized I he pub-
lication of 75,000 pamphlets to ac
company the exhibits at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exhibition in Seattle
this summer. 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.

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.

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.

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.
