Strawberries Raspb erries
The Herald office is under obli
gation to Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Robertson and W. N. Kelleyfora
nice lot of large, delicious straw
berries which they presented the
office last Saturday. Mr. Robert
son and wife had driven out to
the farm home of W. N. Kelly,
on the Ricreall to spend the day.
In the afternoon they went out
to visit the strawberry patch,
which was a veritable strawberry
patch indeed for they gathered a
half gallon of luscious berries
and had strawberries and cream.
The berries sent us were large
well ripened and of a delicious
flavor and Mr. Robertson in
formed us that there were all
stages of the fruit represented
on the vines from the blossom in
its first conception to the well
ripened fruit Residents of this
section feel to place Oregon
against the world and Polk county
a little in the lead.
Well here comes another one.
Strawberries are not the only ones
to produce at this season of the
year, and before we had finished
the former, Mrs. S. R. Smith ac
companied by Mrs. Davis, made
the Herald office a visit and pre
sented us with a large bowl well
filled with red raspberries of the
Cuthbert variety. While it is out
of season for this class of berries
their flavor and quality, so far
as we can judge was up to the
standard and equal to any we
have sampled in Oregon.
Oregon residents have many
grand blessings to be thankful
for, among which are, mild cli
mate, plenty of fruit, good water
and general good health, and we
appreciate the berries also.
Mrs. Emma Haggard of Luck
iamute was in town Saturday

We visited the creamery dur

Messrs Kinney and Murdock busy

we learned that the plant is turn

butter per month yet The
creamery system has supplanted
the old manner of dairying and
has come to stay.

The Spirit That Achieves Success
People who attended the recent
street carnival at Bandon were
impressed by the fact that Ban
don is one of the Coos county
towns that actually does things
and that without a great deal of
bluster. Not only did it carry
off successfully a series of enter
tainment that, would have done
credit to a large city, but it actual
ly inaugurated railroad con
struction while other places have
been talking railroad for years
with very little accomplishment.
The Bandon way is for everybody
to get in and push when any
thing for the town's betterment
is proposed. There appear to be
no shirkers, no kickers and blame
few of the people who prefer to
stand back and advise a different
course from that being pursued.
The result will be that Bandon
will be somewhere while other
towns are thinking of starting.
Everyone admires the Bandon
way of doing things and if the
entire county could get the Ban
don spirit the achievement in the
next few years would be some
thing marvelons. Enterprise.
