Business Men of Bandon
Want a Boat That is
Dependable
In face of the l.ict tlmt Bandon
merchants have been greatly handi
capped in getting tlieir freight from
Portland, and it toeing especially
true of their honday goods this sea
son, tin question has been discussed
very extensively of getting a boat to
run to Portland that will carry both
passengers and freight and' one that
can be depended upon to make re
gular trips.
It is said that the Brooklyn is laid
up now in San Francisco, because ot
no business, and the suggestion has
been made that an attempt be made
to get her to run between Portland
and the Coquille River. With this
cniLin view jt JiasbcKDuaakcdahat.
business men of the city make up in
estimate of the amount of freight
they could guarantee, in a certain
psriod of time ai.d that they hriig
this estimate to the regular meeting
of the Commercial Club, Friday
evening, January 2nd, when the mat
ter will be taken up and steps will
be taken toward securing the service
of the Brooklyn or some other good
boat that can be depended upon tv
.make the run.
Everybody interested should be
M the meeting anil .1 campaign
should be started at once, We
certainly need b'-lter service to
Portland.
Civilization and Advertising.
Civilization and honest advertising
go hand in hand, flonci adver
tising increases distribution increases
consumption, but it standaidizes and
guarantees the advertised commodity
This is a fact that is being demon,
slrated constantly, and each day con
sinners are appreciating it with a
clearer understanding. The Hutch
