Women’s Commercial Club
Inaugurate Campaign Fcr
Cleaning up City.
At the last meeting of the Women's
Commercial club, a “ Clean up Day"
was proposed. It was finally deci
ded to set aside one day in the first
week of April for that purpose.
As we walk the streets of our
city how many unsightly yards and
corners are seen. The streets also
are littered and untidy; often tin
cans and other rubbish are dumped
by the roadside to offend the eye
of every passer by. Mere attention
should be given this matter by the
city authorities, and will in time un-
doubtly.
Meanwhile the ladies propose to
remedy conditions in some degree r
First, by securing a place where
rubbish of.all sorts can be dumped
and burned as far as possible.
Second by arousing every one to
the necessity of making our city
neat and thus m ore attractive.
Third, by setting a day for general
spring clean up when they will pro
vide teams to cart away the rubbish.
Let every citizen “get busy" and
clean up their individual yards, and
beautify them as much as they can.
Try and have your own surround
ings in a cleanly condition, anil
then on “clean-up day,” give a
hearty co operation in the street and

WORDS FOR SMALL
THOUGHTS.
How 1 detest tlie vain parade
Of big mouthed words of vain
pretense!
And shall they thus thy soul de-
grade,
O tongue, so dear to corn mon
sense?
Shouldst thou accept the pom-
pous laws
By which our blustering tyros
prate.
Soon Shakespeare’s songs and
Bunyan's saws
Some timid truekster might
translate.
Our Innguage, like our daily life,
Accord* the homely and sub-
lime
And Jars with phrases that are
rife
With pedantry of every clime.
For eloquence it-clangs like arms.
For love it touches tender
chords.
But he to whom the world’s heart
warms
Must speak in wholesome,
home bred words.
—Itichard Grant White.

Will Revive Ocean
Dredging Company of Minneapolis Has
Established Camp Near Bandon and
Will Soon Start Operations
The Ocean Beach Company of
Minneapolis have completed build
ing their camp near the old town
site of Randolph just south of
Whiskey Run creek, and they will
start to freight their large 40 ton
traction dredge to the beach within
the next day or two. Mr. John
Jenkins of this city has secured the
contract for hauling the dredge to
the beach, from the Bullards dock,
where the dismantled dredge was
unloaded by the steamer Tillamook
on her last trip in.
When assembled, the big dredge
is simply a huge traction machine
made to run on its own traction
power, the frame of the dredge be
ing built of structured bridge steel,
48 feet in length by ¡6 feet in width,
and the wheels upon which the
frame is mounteel are large drums 8
feet in height by four feet in width,
made hollow and air tight.
A digging ladder at the front end
of the dredge consists of an endless
chain of two foot buckets that digs
and delivers the sand to a large
shaking screen to be afterwards
sluiced through two gold saving
tables one on each side of the
dredge.
A six inch centrifugal pump de
livering the water on top of the
shaking screen furnishes ample
water supply for all sluicing pur
poses.
The dredge is self propelled like
an automobile upon its four large
wheels and can be run in and out cf
the water along the beach upon its
own tractive power furnished by a
45 horse power engine.

It is especially equipped for ocean
beach dredging where dredges of
no other design can work, thereby
having for themselves without com
petition the entire beach dredging
field.
The dredge was designed by R.
Smith Bassett, a mining engineer
and di edge operator of seveial years
experience having operated a sim
ilar dredge on Nome Beach, Alaska,
during the summer season of 1911.
Bandon is to be congratulated on
securing a dredging enterprise of
this character in reclaiming the
hidden wealth along the beaches,
and it is to be hoped that mining
activity will again bring her into
prominence as in the early “sixtys”
when hundreds of men were busily
engaged in mining on the beaches
Thousands of dollar were taken
daily from the beaches both north
and south of Bandon by these early
day beach miners, yet these old
miners (some of them living in our
midst at the present time) were
never able by their primitive meth
ods to mine or work the beach but
50 to 75 feet away from the bluffs,
leaving untouched miles of the very
richest of the beach sands that mod
ern dredge machinery can now re
cover.
Mr. Bassett the General Manager
tor the dredge company informs us
that it will be six to eight weeks
before the dredge can be freighted
in, assembled, and ready to operate
and that the company will have
several more dredges mining up
and down the beaches from Bandon
within the next twelve months.
