was given to all who took part in the

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

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

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 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

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

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
