•• » T VOUME XXV. WILL GUARANTEE DEEP WATER Will Install Large Near Future ORDERS AHEAD FOR YEAR The Bandbn Woolen Mill wiil close down in a week or so and re- main closed for a couple ot wt eks during which time a large amount of new machinery will be installed, among which will be a new steam finishing machine, which will enable the mill to do more work and finish ud heavier goods. Manager Bedillion stated that the new machines would also enable them to make heavy blankets, an article lor w hich there is much de mand. The mill is doing good work now, but the demand for finished product is growing so great that it is necessary to have every convenience possible. Additions to two of the spinning jacks will al so be made, thus increasing the ca pacity of the plant to a considerable extent. The woolen mill has sufficient orders ahead now to keep it run ning at full capacity for a year, and only recently a letter was received from a New York house tendering an order that would keep the mill running for two years, this order, of course, hail to be turned down as the Detroit firm, for which the mill has been manufacturing ever since it started up, will keep it going con- stantly. The Woolen Mill is an excellent industry for Bandon and one to which all our citizens point with pi ide. ------ OOe>------- Port Orford Orchard Tracts Company l he following letter will be of great interest to many of our readers a s coming from an authentic source. Langlois, Ore., Aug. 11, 1909— Editor Bandon R ecorder , Dear Sir: - In your last issue you stated that I came home from Port land where I had been on business in connection with the Port Orford Orchatd Tracts. This is correct and I have just received a letter front the company and as so many people are interested in that company I here send you a copy of the letter, hop ing you will publish it 'or the ben efit of your many readers. Portland, Ore, Aug. 6,1009— Mr. O. P. Haagensen, Langlois. Dear Sir: We write you at the suggestion of Mr. Oldenberg, with whom you are well acquainted rel- ative to the silnation in connec- tion with the Port Orford (Orchard Tracts Co. Our film, Donnell and Parberry, has been appointed sales agents in charge of the property by the new lioard of directors. We are arrang ing the new financial matters of the company so as to have money suf ncient to pay off the entire indebted t ness on or before Sept 1- -5, in fact with our present arrangements we will have the money by the first of September, but of course it will take a few days to reich vour country and pay off the entire in debtedness. What we want of you Mr. Haag ensen is a little assistance at that end. of the line. We understand thr >ugh Mr. Oldeuberg that the Some local business men of Ban don nave informed the R ecorder that they are willing to sign a «'on tract to furnish 20 feet ot water on the bar and in the river at medium high tide and they will guarantee to keep it that deep the ye «r around They also state that they will con tract to have the work completed within a year’s time. All they ask in compensation for their work is five cents a ton for all freight that goes over the bar and five cents a thousand for lumber, and they further sta»e that whenever there is less than twenty feet of water they will not ask a cent. Tlrs is a proposition that all shippers could well afford to consider as it would be money in their pockets A guarantee of 20 feet of water at all times of the year would wonder fully facilitate the shipping industry on this rivW. Let’s get busy an 1 give them a chance to make good.

Ressler of Corvallis. He was in Coos county to attend the annual teachers' in stitute, in session this week at Co- quille, and to represent the Oregon Agricultural College, in which he lias just taken charge of the new course in industrial pedagogy. During the past seven years, Mr. Ressler was president ot lhe Oregon State Normal school at Monmouth, and in that capacity visited every county in the state. He is an en thusiastic Oregonian, notwithstand ing the fact that his school, together with the other state normals, was denied an appropriation by the last Legislature. All the normal schools will remain closed during the next two years, when it is expected that the Normal school question in Ore gon will come up for final settlement. In assuming his new position in the Corvallis institution, Professor Ress'cr continues in his chosen work of training teachers. At the O. A C., a part of his work will consist in preparing students to teach tin- special subjects of agriculture, man ual training and domestic science in the public schools. Industrial train ing in the common schools is a part of the "new education”, which is rapidly gaining ground in the United States. Educators and leaders in industra! anil social niovemenis have come to u realiza- * tion of the fact that the present course of study in the elementary high schools is sei iously deficient in subject matter anil method. The interests of the many children who will be limited to the educa tional advantages of the common school, have been subordinated to the interests of the few who are pre paring for college and university. The n-.-w education seeks to make provision for practical industrial Laming for the purpose of appealing t<> the needs and interests of this large majority, without in any way weakening the course adapted to the needs of the few. Professor Ressler reports the pros pects fine for another large increase in tin- attendance of students at the State Agricultural College next year. ' 1351 was last year’s enrollment, a gain ot nearfy twenty-five percent over the previous year. Over 1500 will doubtless enroll during the com ing year. ooo----- A Sad Death Fay La l’rele Moore aged i year and 2 «lays died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. 3.
