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.

WILL MAKE REGULAR WEEKLY TRIPS
Portland, Ore. 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.
