Moore Lumber Co Wins Suit
Take Their First Hike Last
Saturday, Under Leader­
ship of Rev. Hartranft.
The Bandon Boy Scouts took
their first hike last Saturday under
the leadership of Scout Master H.
C. Hartranft. They went up the
river several miles and had a fine
outing, also they had considerable
practice in drill work of various
kind, and at noon each scout cooked
his own dinner. They had beef
steak, pork chops, bacon, eggs,
cooked in various ways and in fact
everything that one could ask to
eat. They returned in the evening
about 5 o’clock declaring they had
had the time of their lives.
The boy scout movement is now
thoroughly estai lished in Bandon,
and the boys are anticipating many
jolly trips and outings as well as to
receive great benefit in many ways
from the movement.
There were about 22 boys in the
brigade Saturday and more will be
added right along now that the
movement is thoroughly launched.

The Purpose of the Bandon
Commercial Club.
The object of the Bandon Com­
mercial Club is to foster and en­
courage and in any way possible
help develop the financial, mercan­
tile, manufacturing, agricultural,
dairy and horticultural interests of
the town and district. One function
of the club is to collect and distribute
useful information and anyone gain­
ing knowledge of any point likely
to be < f general interest and bearing
upon the welfare of the Bandon
district would do well to inform the
secretary of the Bandon Commercial
Club of such information.
Another function of the Bandon
Commercial Club is to encourage
helpful legislation and much is being
done by the club in this line. It is
a field of activity in which in the past

Women’s Commercial Club
Meeting.
Bandon people have shown re­
grettable apathy.
The club aims to assist in the
establishment of new and additional
manufactiuring enterprises in the
district. To increase the trade and
population of the city, and last but
not least to draw the citizens more
closely together to the end of work
ing in haimony with a unity of
purpose that will mean results.

something yourself there wiil be

The club meets on Thursday
evening.
Calico Dance a Success.
The calico social and dance, given
on Saturday the Sth by the Ladies
Socialist Study club, at the Bandon
Opera House, was a decided success
both socially and financially.
There were 57 couples in atten­
dance. After a short program and
addresses by comrades. Carpenter
and ex-inayor Q uick of Coquille,
the auctioneer proceeded to sell the
ladies baskets containing the lunches
which created a great deal of in­
terest and amusement.
After tne usual disposition of as
fine a lot of nicely prepared lunches
as Bandon people have for some
time enjoyed at a box social, the
chairs were removed from the floor
and the remainder of ihe evenin g
was spent in dancing.
Altogether it was a very enjoyable
evening and many of the parcipants
expressed the hope that they might
have in the near future, . another
opportunity of spending an evening

Report.

Oatnaura, N. Z., Feb. 10.—Cap­
tain Robert F. Scott and his party
were overwhelmed by a blizzard on
the return journey from the south
pole. The entire [»arty perished,
they reached the south pole on the
18th of January ; 1912.
News of the appalling disaster,
which befell Scott and his company
was brought by the rescue ship
Terra Nova. The steamer went
south to bring the Scott party back
The total number of deaths involved
in the calrmity is not known but it
is believed that sixty-six scientists
and sailors lost tneir lives.
Scott’s party reached the exact
point where Roald Amundsen plant­
ed the Norwegian flag At the
south pole they found a hut that
was constructed by Amundsen's
party. These facts are recorded
in documents found on the bodies
of the explorers when they were re­
coveted.
Scott’s party was overwhelmed
on the return trip by the terrific
blizzards prevalent in the Antarctic
region. The date of Scott’s attain­
ment of reaching his
most exactly a month

The news of the disaster of the
Scott expedition came as an utter
surprise to London and cast a gloom
over the community, which has
been unequalled since the death 01
King Edward. It is believed hi re
that the disaster did not invol e ah
the Scott party of sixty-six, but
probably only those selected by
him for the final dash to the pole.

Interesting Program Carried
Out Friday Night.—Large
Attendance.
The Patron-Teachers meeting
at the school house Friday night
was well attended and an excellent
program was carried out. The
meeting was presided over by Supt.
H. L. Hopkins and in his usual
happy manner
introduced the
speakers of the evening.
A piano duet by Louise Haberly
and Vida Averill was the first num­
ber on the program and was great­
ly enjoyed by all. These young
ladies show excellent musical talent.
County Supt. Raymond E. Baker
was present and gave an interesting
talk on modern methods of educa­
tion, in which he pointed out the
great necessity of educating along
specific lines and training the young
people for specific purposes in life.
A song by a dozen little girls in
the grades was appreciated. This
was under the direction of Miss
Winifred McNair. Miss Cooper,
who has recently been elected as in­
structor for the school garden work
in the Bandon schools was present
and outlined the work that was being
done and which will be done during
the spring. This was a most inter­
esting ¡»art of the program.
A piano solo, by Miss Vida
Averill was one of the most pleasing
numbers of the program, and the
hearty encore the young lady re­
ceived would indicate the high ap­
preciation of the audience.
