W 0 0 D M E N Many Concessions at Francisco. The Del Norte Argus, of late date says: “Alter having been practically silent for a month on “up-to-date” railroad news, the Argus is able to come back this week with some thing moderately startling. With the deep sea to our west, with a survey crew to our south, one to the north and one to the east, most any kind of news is likely any time. “Our latest scoop concerns Har bor. It is now definitely stated that the Hill line, instead of coming down Smith river over the Draper survey, will traverse the Chetco basin and find a terminal at Harbor —not at Brookings, but on the south bank of the Chetco. The old townsite of Harbor, in the language of a prominent man Irom Portland and one who is now on the ground in question, will be gutted and made into an inland harbor. A jetty several hundred yards long will protect the harbor from the southerly storms. A new lownsite will be surveyed out in the near future back of the present town of Harbor. “The railroad now being made by the Brookings people will prob ably be a spur that will connect with the main line at a point five miles up the Chetco river. The Chetco pass is said to be over 1000 feet less San in elevation than the Elk Creek pass on the Draper survey route.’’ I W. B. Holdiman, Dist. Mgr P. O.

HOME TALENT PLM WELL RECEIVED of the At last night's meeting Commercial Club a vote of thanks was given to all who took part in the 1 entertainment. Mr. Poole reported that after deducting expenses the play netted the club one hundred and seventeen dollars. It was decided to take up the question of advertising in the Inter Ocean Weekly, and a trade publi cation circulating among ship build ers and one of national circulation among furniture manufactures, set ting forth the advantages this dis trict offers. A communication was read from Representative W. C. Hawley in dicating that he would favor a reso lution sent him by the Bandon Com mercial Club asking that he support a bill whereby the Federal Govern ment would pay the cost of building main highways. The second as sistant postmaster in acknowledging a petition sent him asking for two services a day between Bandon and Coquille replied stating that the matter was under consideration and that he would advise the club as to what action was taken. Fast Ball for Bandon. As was announced in the R e several weeks ago, Bandon is preparing for the biggest base ball season this year' in the history of the city. Tuesday night a meeting was held and an organization completed. The following officers were elected: R. E. L. Bedillion, manager; J.T. Sullivan, president; J. L. Kronen- berg, vice president; C. A.

Owens & Pine opened a four days engagement at the Orpheum last night and were well received by a large and appreciative audience. Miss Owens made a big hit with her singing and dancing acts, as also did Miss Pine with her musical act, and the general opinion of the audience was that they are the Cleverest Sis ter Team ever seen on the boards in Bandon. Tonight, als Saturday and Sun day nights, they will present an en tire new bill. Don’t fail to see this excellent vaudeville and 4,000 ft of all new Pictures. Ad. 15c «St Ioc. To Make Hens Lay in the Greeted With Large Audi ence and all Performers did Well. The home talent play entitled “What Became of Parker,’’ at the Grand theatre Wedresday night, under the auspices of the Com mercial Club was one of the best ever pulled off in Bandon, and was greeted with a packed house of pleased listeners. The part of Parker was taken by Wm. LeGore who showed marked skill in his work. Mrs. C. R. True took the part of Mrs. Parker and certainly did her self proud. The character of Mr, Jones as taken by P. H. Poole was one of the hits of the evening. A. D. Mills who impersonated Mr. Growler, certainly did the job up right and kept the audience in an uproar whenever he appeared. Miss Dorothy Gibson as Hebe, Mr. Gtowler’s niece performed the part in a most excellent manner showing superior talent. Mrs. D. M. Av erill as the old maid aunt of Mrs. Parker, certainly acted the part, as did also Mrs. C. F. Pape who took the role of a maid servant. C. F. Pape as the business part ner of Mr. Parker w'aswell received, as was also Chas. Lomas as the chief of police. E, S, Gear who took the part of a physician in a creditable manner, and E. G. Cas sidy as the colored waiter imitated areal southern “coon," W. B. Holdiman as the millionaire was all that could be asked lor. During the evening the audience was treated to two excellent vocal solos, one by Miss Winnie McNair and one by Mrs. Tom Mehl, and the hearty encore given both ladies would indicate the high appreciation of the audience. Several films of excellent moving pictures rounded out a fine evening’s entertainment. A. Reynolds, a Mexican who was being taken from Coos county by Sheriff Gage to the state peniten tiary to serve and indeterminate sentence for larceny, escaped at Drain on Thursday, but was short ly afterwards recaptured. Reynolds was placed in a room in the Perkins Hotel and the shei iff took all his clothing from him.
