LARGE CROWDS AI EVERY SERVICE
Have you heard Van yet? If not,
you want to come and if you do you
will be sure and come again, The
interest is growing in the meetings
each night. The old building has
been very artistically fixed tip and
decorated with bunting and mottoes,
so it is a comfortable and plea-ant
place for a meeting of this kind. A
rest room has been provided so you
can come and bring your children.
This meeting deserves the moral
support of the whole town. It has
behind it the churches of Bandon,
and will prove to be a gre it blessing
to all. Rev. Van Marler is surely a
fearless preacher, and he will keep
you awake every minute and give
you something to think about.
This week he is' preaching mostly
to church members, anti the preach­
ers, elders deacons and all have
come in for their share. This is
right. Let us all take our medicine
It will do us good.
The services are held each dav at
3 and 8 p.m. Splendid singing by
a large chorus under the direction of
Mr. Haberly is helping to make the
services helpful, together with the
solo work by Mrs. Van Marter.
Next Sunday will be a big day. At
11 a.m. the evangelist will preach,
his subject being “Cut the Shore
Line ” At 3 p.m. a special sermon,
subject, “Enthusiasm” In the even­
ing will be the great service of the
day, when Van will preach his great
sermon on II E I, L .
Is there
one, and if so, what is it like? This
is one of the best sermons the evan­
gelist has got and you can’t afford to
miss it. Lots of fellows are going
to the place this subject .treats of,
and vou had better get familiar with
the conditions.
Obituary.
Nellie Augusta Jensen was born
Jan. 13, 1893, .it Gohl Beach, Ore
She lived in Curry County until
1906, when her parents moved t<>
Bandon. Last year she went with
Mrs. Lawson to Boise, Idaho, where
she remained some months. From
there she went to Coalinga, Cal.,
and returned to Bandon this spring.
Since returning she has made her
home with her sister, Mrs. Geo. Ed-
wards. She was only ill a short
time and died June 29, 1910. The
funeral services were conducted bv
Rev. R. H. Allen of the M E
church, from the residence of Geo.
Edwards.
She leaves, besides her parents,
two brothers and two sisters and a
host of friends to mourn her depar
ture.
Nellie was a girl res|x?cted and
admired by all who knew her.
Obituary
Gunard Sandstrom, the thirteen
month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Axel
Sandstrom of Prosper, died last Sat­
urday, July 2nd, and was buried in
the (Tandon Cemetery, on Sunday.
Rev A Haberly conducted the ser­
vices. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy of their many friends
and neighbors.
As was announced some time ago
in the R ecorder an experiment ol
the burnt over timber as a commer­
cial commodity is being tried in this
community.
It will be remembered by readers
of the R ecorder that this paper
spoke of the A. F. Estabrook Co.
t.iking up this proposition with a
view of seeing wh.it could be done.
This company has now contracted
with the Santa Fe Railroad to fur-
nisli thetn 1200 cedar piling from
this kind of material, and if the
charred piling proves a success, and
there is every reason to believe it
will, then it will mean thousands of
dollars to Southwestern Oregon, as
there is an irnmt nse amount of this
kind < f material in this section.
This will be an opportunity for
the people to bring in their burnt
over piling, at least until the order
for the 1,200 is tilled, and then if it
proves a success there will be a good
market for all they have. It is cer
tainly something that is worth trying
at least.

Two Important Arrest* Made
On Tuesday of last week Georg.-
Holder, a youth of 19 years was ar­
rested anil taken into custody in
Coquille on information from his
home in North Carolina, in which he
is charged with killing a man in that
state about a year ago. There are
two reports in regard to this affair.
One is that he had trouble with a
school fellow, or a young lad abott
his own age. and stabbed him, and
another is that Irs victim was an
okler gentleman who chastised him
for trespassing and taking chestnuts
from his trees, when he Hew into a
passion and stabbed the old man.
He was landed in Coos county’s
bastile, and awaits the arrival of the
sheriff from the county in which the
crime, if it were a crime, was com
milted, as he makes a claim of sell­
defense.
The other man, Jessie Burleson,
was located in the Willamette valley,
on the Santiam about 30 miles cast
of Albany working in a cord-wood
camp. He is accused o’ also killing
a man in the same stale and in an
adjoining county to that in which
Holder committed his crime, ami it
is also stated that these two men are
cousins. Burleson was found to be
heavily armed and is supposed to be
a very bad min.
He occupies
apartments in the hostelry and will
abide the tune of the sheriff of his
county who is doubtless on his way
here by this time.—Coquille Herald.

EVERYBODY
HAD
A
GOOD
TIME
Monday was an ideal Fourth in
Bandon, the weather man was on
his good behavior, and no town
ever had a finer day than was Mon-
day in Bandon.
The celebration started off in the
morning with the parade from the
city to the grounds, and although
the parade was not long yet it was
picturesque, and the Order of Red-
inen are especially to be commended
for the appearance they made. The
parade was headed bv the Bandon
Concert Band, which always furnishes
the best music to be had, and the
parade was'escorted by E. M Black
erby, Marshal of the Day.
On arriving at the Park the crowd
assembled at the pavilion, where,
after a couple of selections by the
band, J. W Mast, President of the
Day, introduced the first speaker,
Att’y G. T. Treadgold, who gave an
eloquent address, dwelling more
particularly upon the duties of the
citizen to his country in exercising
his right of franchise, and drove
home many lasting'truths. lie was
followed by Att y’F. J. Feeney, who
was the second speaker of the day,
and who proved himself to be an
*>rator of true merit, telling of the
beauties and privileges of American
citizenship.
After these addresses adjournment
was taken for dinner, many of those
bringing lunch baskets se-king gras­
sy spots under the beautiful shade
trees to spend an hour in social chat
and feast on the abundance of good
things. Others went to the lunch
counter of the Presbyterian church
where an excellent lunch at reasona­
ble prices was served.
The afternooji was given over to
sports, but as it was impossible to
secure the names of all the winners,
we do not publish any of them, but
suffice to say the sports were inter­
esting to a high degree. After these
sports were finished the crowd came
down town and were treated to an
exhibition by the life savers, which
was excellent entertainment and
greatly enjoyed- After this was a
log rolling contest which was funny
and fast, and furnished much amuse­
ment for the crowd. Mr. Van Luven
won first money and W. C. Parker
second. Mr Dunklee also gave an
exhibition of log rolling, and then he
and Mr. Van Luven gave a combined
exhibition, but Mr. Dunklee was not
a candidate for the prize, he being
one of the promoters of the contest
The crowd then went to Columbia
Ave. where three horse races were
pulled off. R. A. Parsons winning
two and Jack Van Valkenburg one.
The grand ball in the evening ended
the days events. •
The celebration really started Sat­
urday evening with a band concert
and grand ball, and on Sunday at
ternoon by a concert on the street
and a big ball game lietween Bandon
and Myrtle Point, which resulted in
a score of ¡2 to 7 in favor of Bandon.
Coquille and North Bend each had
a $5,000 fire the Fourth. The Co­
quille fire burned a building belong
ing to John Golden, occupied by
Mrs. Burkholder as a millinery store,
and the North Bend fire consumed
the Pacific Hotel and Kern cottage.

expenses to date was raised among
the delegates within a ten minutes’
adjournment.
The meeting indorsed F. K. Grt-
tins to be the County’s candidate for
State Water Commissioner before
the State Assembly; as there will be
no opposition to John S. Coke for
Judge from this County, no official
actio 1 was taken on the matter, bitt
Judge Coke will be indorsed in the
State Assembly for the bench to
succeed himself, as it is well under­
stood among the Coos County dele
gates that the local assembly are a
unit back of hi* candidacy.
During the closing moments of
the session, which was matked by
the greatest of harmony and cordial­
ity among the Republicans, S. I).
Pullord and L. J. Roberts each made
a speech attacking the Coos Bay
Times in no uncertain language for
having accused the Myrtle Point En
terprise and its informants with hav­
ing falsified as to the figures of the
attendance at the first meeting of the
Assembly.
Mr. Maloney, repre­
senting the Times at the meeting,
made no reply to their attacks.

The Hotel Bat-view was totally
destroyed bv fire Tuesday afternoon,
the loss being about $5,000, with
$3.000 insurance.
Just how the tire originated is not
known, but it is thought to have
caught in the attic and before any­
thing could be done, the tl ones had
gained such headway that it could
not be checked until the building
was consumed. Almost everything
in the building was saved

account of insufficient hose at first,
and after enough hose was secured,
it was found that the water pressure
was not strong enough to do much,
so the only thing that could be done
was to keep the fire from spreading
and excellent work was done in th.it
line. Che Barview Hotel seemed
doomed to destruction as this was
the third time it had caught fire in a
short period, and the third time
proved to be the charm in this casm
