OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF ANDON
GOOD ROAD
MEETING
Will Circulate Third Petition
For a Special Bond
Election.
At a meeting of the Coos County
Good Roads Association, held in
Marshfield Friday night, and attend
ed by delegates from all parts of the
county save Bandon. a petition was
ordered prepared and circulated cjII
ing an election of the voters of the
county early in the year, ,rr the
purpose of authorizing the sale of
bonds for road purposes.
The meeting was held to get a
"fresh start" since the County
Court has seen fit to reject two peti
tions presented for that purpose.
The meeting was most harmonious
there being no objection raised as
regards the apportionment of funds
as agreed upon at the Coquille meet
ing. This is $70,000 to apply on
road from North Bend to Lakeside,
$100,000 from Bandon to Curry
county, and the remainder between
Marshfield and Bridge, via Coquille
and Myrtle Point.
It was shown that signatures must
be those of registered voters and to
be certain there will be no hitch it
is proposed to start the petition soon
after January 1st, .when the 1914
registration books will be open and
all are supposed to register before
signing.
It is the purpose of the Good
Roads Association to get fully 50
per cent of the voters of the county
to sign the petition thus makine
sure there will be no further hitch
in calling the election.

"Satan."
"The Drama of Humanity. A
four part production by Ambrosio,
The scenes open with a glimpse all
too brief of the warring angels "on
the plains of heaven." Then Satans
entrance into the terrrstial paradise
and his sudden transformation into
a serpent. The first reel touches
deep cords in the human heart, we
see Satan planning the deadly
weapon with which Abel was killed
and suggesting the first human
sacrifice.
The second reel deals with the
temptation of Christ, in the wilder
ness and Sa"in taking possession of
the soul of Judns. The convulsion
ol the elements at the moment of
crucifixion darkened heavens tra
versed by flashes of lightning make
a marvelous background to 'the ter
rible scene. The scenes are put on
with the greatest reverence.
In the third reel, dealing with Sa
tanic activities in the middle ages,
no finer subject could have been
chosen than alchemy, a soul destroy
ing superstition, from which some of
the best nvnds of the day were not
entirely free,
The fourth reel takes us into the
vety heart of modern conditions and
shows how, luxury begets unrestrain
ed lust and violence. Poverty also
affords baleful opportunities to the
Tern pier. This a wonderful lesson
in this picture and it is something
you'll go home and think about.

Good Roads Bill.
Washington, D. C. Dec. 18.
Congressman Ferris of Oklahoma,
is the author of a bill to establish a
legal holiday to be known as "good
roads day,'' and Representatives
Byrnes and Stephens have measures
calling for federal and state co-operation
in road building. The op
ening of the question and the intro
duction of a number of bills upon
the subject immediately following
the convening of the regular session
indicates that the governors who
"worked on the road" created a
worthy sentiment, inasmuch as the
Ferris measure is a sort of suggest
ion that shoveling dirt may become
a social event. The other bills seek
to secure subs'.iutial financial assist
ance from the federal government,
to be used in co-oparating with the
states and local authorities in this
great work. Grave differences exist
between government agencies and
the advocates of highways iotended
almost entirely for automobile tour
ists. Representative Shackleford,
Chaiiman of the House Roads Com
mitte, has taken a pronounced stand
in favor of good dirt reads that will
connect up farming communities
with the towns, and he wants lots
of them rather than roufs that
stretch out across great distances.

dren are writing to you just now, so
I'm going to write too. I'm only a
child myself, for, though I .struggled
toward life manv vcars. I only bi-

you, 1 tuinic.
First, I want ever so many friends.
Friends who will vote next June for

sure I could,
And while I'm waiting for that,
please, Santa Claus, give m e some
donations of money, large ones and
small ones. I'd like some books

that and
other subject, you would lealize how
very much I need the Readers
Guide to Periodical Literature. Be
cause our stacks of Review of Re
views, of Literary Digests, of Out
looks, and other magazines, with
their great fund of knowledge, are ol
very little use without it. I know
its expensive twelve dollars a year
but I don't see how I can even pre
tend to be a Reference Library with
out it.
I'm almost through now. You
may give me any magazines you
can spare, and please send me a
few loads of wood and a few sacks
of coal so the Reading Room will
be pleasant all winter. And a h d
for the coal, too, please, mine used
to be like a sieve, but now its like
the little bear's chair. It hasn't any
bottom at all.
Thats all, only please incline the
hearts of my friends to volunteer for
the Sunday opening work and for
the Saturday story telling. If my
stocking won't hold all these Mrs.
Kronenberg or Mr. Crain will take
care of the rest for me. The Ban

William Hopkins, clerk in the
Orange Pharmacy, left on the
Elizabeth for San Diego having re
ceived a telegram that his father
had died. Mr. Hopkins Sr. went to
a hospital recently to have an opera
tion performed and the same proved
fatal. The young man will have the
sincere sympathy of a large circle of
fiends in his bereavement.
