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.

If we but get the habit of seeing the good things we will not
have time to brood over the bad, for the former are thousands to one
in the majority’. 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.

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

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.
