Completion and Portland __________ » The Perry Veneer Plant is now nearing completion, and the ma - chinery, which is pr.ic tically all new, is nearly all installed, so that Mr. Perry hopes tp get the wheels to rolling this week, or the first of the next at the very latest. Mr. Perry’s machinery is the most modern to be had,and his new turn ing lathe, with which lie shaves the v< neering, is much superior to his old one, being larger, heavier, and of greater capacity. it will handle a block 84 inches long an 1 60 inches in diameter. i he new plant is commodious and convenient for the business. 1 lie main building is 39x80, a id together with the annex, he has a floor spice 50x96, and will build an addition 14x50 in the near future, which will be used for a basket room. Mr. Perry has all the orders he can take care of this year, and others are constantly coming in so that there is every reason to feel encour aged so far as business is concerned. With his new plant and new ma chinery, Mr. Perry will be able to turn out the finished product in his line in a rapid and satisfactory form, and the industry is an excellent thing for Bandon. The opening play in the new Grand Theatre, Saturday night, was a great success in every particular, and goes to show' that Bandon has some home talent of which our citi zens may well feel proud, and those who participated have since been re ceiving the congratulations of their friends for the excellent work done. The play, entitled “Facing the Music,” was pul on entirely by Bandon people, anil from the rounds applause tb it were received from the audience, there is no mistaking the fact th.it the work was highly pleas ing to all. We could not begin to enumerate all the good points, but will state here that each individual di I his or her part with siicn grace and ease, that one forgot that they did not make any pretense at professi >11 alisni, for in fact their work w is su perior to that of many who follow the stage as a profession. The cast of characters was as follows: Rev. John Smith - - John Smith - - J. H. Johnston Dick Desmond - - - C. R. Moul» - - R. A Feller - - Rohl. Blaclcerby Col. Duncan Smith Sergeant Duflell .... Lenlner Gallier - - Miss Edna Mills Nora - Mrs. R. A. Feller M bs Fotheringay - Mrs. J. H. Johnston Mrs. Ponting - Mabel Mrr. B A. Kolp It is sufficient to say that all per formed their parts with great credit to themselves. The specialties between acts, and the musical program by the Grand orchestra, all came in lor their share of praise and applause. The new Grand theatre is cer Riverton Locals. tainly a credit to Bandon, and the effects Saturday night were beautiful Adam Pershbaker, of Prosper, to say the least.

April S — Begin ning April 15, the steamship New port will be placed in regular service between Portland and points on tlu Coquille River in the freight and passenger trade, affording the only through transportation facilities the merchants of the Rose city have ever enjoyed with Bandon, Myitle Point and Coquille City. A. Dunham and associates, who own the Newport, have purchased a controlling interest in the river boats plying on the Co quille. By transferring freight from the Newport to them, goods can be delivered to the various points 011 tile Coquille during the lowest stage of the river. Heretofore, shipments destined to Bandon Myrtle Point and Coquille City from Portland, were forwarded on the steamers plying between here and Coos Bay. At Marshfield the goods were re shipped on other lines, necessitating their frequent handling. There are two ways to ship from Marshfield—over the railroad or by gasoline schooners. Delays are often experienced, and it is believed a through line will afford the heavy shippers a much improved service l b Newport has accommodations for 40 first-class passengers, and she can take care of 200 tons of general cargo. For the past two months she has been at Fureka undergoing ex tensive repairs and receiving altera tions. Rather heavy travel to the Coquille is anticipated the coming season, and it is announced that par ticular attention will be given to looking after the passenger trade The steamer is expected to provide close to a weekly service. On the up trips the cargoes of the Newport will be made up mostly of coal, which will come from mines operated by the owners of the steam er. She will also bring considerable farm produce from that section. Returning she will take out general merchandise. The Company officials have been led to believe that a most thriving business can be built up by the line, and others acquainted with the varied resources of that rich ter ritory, say there is no doubt of it. The steamer will probably be oper ated from the Oak street dock, al though no definite arrangements of this sort have as yet been completed. Day Won Fight The new First National Bank of Bandon will be open for business about April 20th if no unforseen de lays occur. The vault and other fixtures are practically completed, and the safe has been here lor some time. The budding is being remod eled in every way, and when com pleted will present a very neat ap pearance, both inside and out. CasBier Roberts, in conversatici with a representative of the R ecord ER stated that the people could de- l*nd on courteous treatment, and would be gianted all the accommo dations consistent with good banking business. T he stockholders are among thi best and most solid business men 01 Coos and Currv counties, and thi outlook fur fu uie business is very flattering indeed.
