A meeting of the taxpayers of District No. 54, Tuesday evening, for the purpose of voting a tax to defray the school expenses for the current year anti apply on the floating building debt, was held at the school house Tuesday night ' The special tax of last year was | 17 mills, besides a 3 mill tax levied by the caunty clerk, which in all j made 20 mills, but the fact that the assessed valuation this year is much greater, it was thought tint a 15 mill special tax would be sufficient to carry on the work. ].

We have a climate that cannot be excelled and are basking in sunshine, with just enough rain to break the monotony, w bile other places are in the throes of snow storms and cold weather. We have as fertile soil as can be found anywhere, great timber a id mineral resources, factories, mills, etc. Yes, and we have a good harbor that is getting better every year, and with the expendi ture of a few thousand dollars each year, which could easily be raised by a port commission, we would have a harbor open to the malts of the world. Get the habit of seeing those yood things—they are much in the ascendency.

Transported. The Portland people are anxious to have a boat put on the run be tween Bandon and that city provid ing our people will come through with the money to guarantee the ex pense. At least we would draw this conclusion from the following tele gram received yesterday by Piesi- dent E. E. Oakes of the Bandon Commercial Club, from U. S. Small wood, traffic manager, Poitland Chamber of Commerce. The mes sage read: "Respectfully urge early discussion of Mr. Andrews’ propo sition, steamship service with Port land. Very favorable opportunity for your people to have direct ser vice with good steamer and reliable parties.” Mr. Oakes answered by stating in substance that the proposition— which was for Bandon merchants to guarantee 250 tons of freight for the round trip, or at least to pay for that amount, did not take well with Ban don people, and that we considered that Portland business men should be equally as much interested in the proposition as Bandon people, from the fact that the Portland jobbing houses want a portion of the Bandon trade, and Portland people want Coquille river coal; he also called attention to the fact that the Co quille river was the natural port for Coquille, Myrtle Point and all the other towns along the Coquille river, also that we have a $3 freight rate from San Francisco, with splendid boat service from that city, and pointed out that San Francisco would see to it that we continued to get these accommodations, and that if Portland wanted our trade, it was necessary that they give us an equal show. Mr. Oakes’ reply was certainly timely and to the point, . If Port land people want our trade 1 they should at least be willing to meet us hall way. A United States snag boat and dipper dredge is now laying in at Coos Bay waiting for fair weather to be transported to the Coquille river to be used on th * government dredg ing work in this river. The government appropriation of $56.000 fcr improvement of this river is now readv for use, and it is understood that the dredge will be gin work on the project at once. This will put the river in much bet ter condition than at present, al though what we need now is a port commission and larger government appropriation, both for work 0.1 the the bar and the inside river from Bandon to Myrtle Point. « As a result of the recent rains the The marine business of this port much talked of Floras Lake has continues to be brisk.

The R ecorder only $1.50 per year guests Attorney •' nd Coun«elor-at-Law i Must Sign Articles. A number of anonymous articles, on various subjects, have been sent to the R ecorder recently for pub lication, signed "Taxpayer” “Citi • zeri” “Voter’’ etc. Some of them have been knocks on the welfare of the town and community, while- others have been possessed of more or It-se merit; but in each instance the articles have found their way to the waste basket. This paper will publish articles unless signed by the writer, no matter how meritori ous they may be, and we also reserve the right to use our own discretion in pul fishing even those that are signed. We absolutely refuse to publish anything that is of a knock ing nature, for we are interested in the welfare of the city anil communi ty, and are trying to build it up. Any newspaper must know the source from whence an article coint s in order to protect itself, other wise the paper becomes responsible and may get into all kinds of trou ble. No anonymous articles with a non de plume of any kind will find their way into the columns of the R e corded , and the writers of such ar ticles may as well understand this first as last. Men who are interested in boosting the town are not ashamed of their names, and people do not want to read the wailings and knocks of the knocker. Suspicions Well Grounded.
