BANDON RECORDER BANDON, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH, 1914 10 NUMBER 21 VOLUME XXX o BEST SUMMER CLIMATE HERE OREGON COAST CITIES OFFER REFUGE FKOM SUM MER HEAT. Average Temperature In July nnd AugiiHt Much Lower Than at Eastern Resorts. The following comparison of the merits of the Oregon coast country ns summer resort, apcars in "The Oregon Country," a publication is sued by the Portland Commercial Club, nnd is written by Edward A Deals, District Forecaster of the Weather. Millions and millions of dollars r.pont every year by peoplo who leave their homes temporarily for a change of climate. In winter some of thr most famous resorts attracting thesf peoplo nro the Rivieara on the Gulf oi Genoa, Florida and Southern Califor nia, and in summer many of these people go to Switzerland, Brighton England, Ostende, Belgium, and tt places along the Atlantic coast from Bar Harbor to Capo May. While the matter of a change of climate is par amount with nearly all of theso peo ple, the character of the accomoda i'nna provided for them is an impor tant secondary consideration ir choosing a location where the sum mor months can be enjoyed. We cannot expect to make a wintei resort of Oregon, but our summei climate is as good if not better thar any of the places mentioned. Whal we lack is accomodations for the ITuents, and we need a man like Mr Flagler who built the Florida hotclf nnd railroads to put Oregon on the map as a summer resort. With lest capital than he oxponded to make the east coast of Florida the home of thousands of northern people, Oregor could be made the summer home of many more thousands of people Winters can be endured by the weal thy in a cold climate without great discomfort, but in a hot climate the suffer from the heat equally with the poor; therefore where one porsoi would go to Florida for tho winter many would go to Oregon for the summer, if they only know the do lights of our summer climate, ane. can find hero tho other attractions purely artificial, that arc to be foum. at eastern and southern resorts. Statistics are not available to show climatic comparisons with Europcni resorts, but I am satisfied if the; were our climate would make a fnvor ablo showing. Among the advan tages wo enjoy over the Atlantic re sorts are fewer thunderstorms am, less rainy days. On tho North At lantic coast during July and August rain falls on an average one day ou. of three, while on our coast tho av crugo is one day out of six. Durini' the same months, according to the record for tho past five years, thun dorstorms on tho Atlantic coast av eraged at Block Island six each sea son, and at Atlantic City lleach sea con. At North Hcnd on our coast, only one thunderstorm occurred in tho five years, which shows us to bo practically immune from this clasci of disturbance. The following tablo shows the av erage temperature in degrees Fnhr, for July nnd August at tho places mentioned: July August Bur Harbor CG 01 Block Island C8 08 Narragunsctt Pier ....70 09 Atlantic City 72 72 North Head, Wash ....58 r.8 Newport, Oregon 57 58 Bandon, Oregon 58 58 The figures in tho tuble show that our count U-mperutures average nlotii 10 degree lower thun lit Hut eusterii resorts, whlrh Is certainly an nsso' worth exploiting.

Our advantages for fishing and, hunt ing are better than in Europe or any where in the eastern states and on our lakes and rivers boating and yachting can be pursued without hin drance. Nature indeed has been most bountiful in giving us nearly everything neccessary to satisfy the desires of man, and with the good roads movement well started the beauties of our countries will soon be accessable and then all we need is hotel accomodations, playgrounds for children, and the usual facilities for outdoor recreation for grown-ups, such1 as golf greens, polo fields, ten nis courts, etc., to start the tide of travel this way. Card Party a Success. The Five Hundred party at tho K. of P. hall Friday night, given for the benefit of the Bandon Library was a success in every particular, except that the attendance was only about half what it should have been. The library committee did everything possible to give their guests a good entertainment and the refreshments, consisting of cake and punch, were most delicious. The Library is a most worthy cause and should nt all times have tho support of the general public, but upon this occasion there were only enough people present to fill fourteen tables whereas there should have been twenty-five or thirty. The first prize for ladies was won by Mrs. A. S. Elliott and the con solation by Miss Elizabeth J. Rod gers. The first prize for gentlemen was won by Mr. Phillips and the consolation by Ben Elgin. Find Coal in Coos Bay. The dredge Seattle, working in Coos Bay, delivered up about three tons of coal Wednesday and the peo ple of Marshficld are busy speculat ing as to whether the coal was dump- Into the bay by some barge or wheth er it is n real veiri of coal under the water, but tho former theory seems to be the prevailing one. The Coos Bay Times says: Historians of the county disagree as to the origin of the coal or how it came to be in the bay. Charles Powers, who was em ployed at the bunkers for several years, says that the coal is the over flow that comes from the ships load ing at the bunkers near by. Mr. Powers says that several years ago a barge load of coal overturned near the bunker. Mr. Powers places a conservative estimate of tho coal that will be yielded by the bay at 200 tons. Hugh McLain explains the presence of the coal by tho overturn ing of two barges several years ago. "I think that there is not less than . . iuo tons oi coal in the hay near theso bunkers," said Mr. McLain to day, "as every time a ship loads not less than 1000 pounds nro dashed overboard through careless methods in loading." Forest Notes. Canada has 25 million acres in timber reserves, as compared with 187 million ncres in the national for ests of the United States, Apple wood is tho favorite mater ial for ordinnry saw handles, and some goes into socallcd briar pipes. Mew Jersey lias a limbered area of about two million acres, on which tho timber Is worth about $8,500,000 on tho stump. It is mainly valu able as cord wood. Many of the forest (ires attribu ted to rail roads are caused not by sparks from locomotives, but by ci gar and cigarette butts thrown from smoking car windows. Port Orford cedar of tho Pacific coast, recently tried as a substitnto for English willow in the manufac ture of artificial limbs, has been found unsatisfactory. While light enough, it is too course and brittle As an experiment, the supervisor of the Beaverhead natloal forest is stripping (the bark from the bases of a number of Indgepolo pine trees at various periods before they nro to bo cut fur telephone jwles.

At the meeting of the Commercial Club last Fri day night it was decided to hold! an open mass meet ing next Friday night, March 13th, for the purpose of discussing proper candidates, for city officials be fore the election in June. This is not to be ajmeeting to nominate anybody in particular for office, neither is it to be an exclusive Commercial Club meeting, but every voter in the city regardless of whether they belong to the Club or not are urged to be pres ent at this meeting and offer any suggestions they may have. It is the desire of the Club to get the best men for the offices regardless of political affiliations or whether they are members of the Club or not. Every citizen in the town is interested in seeing the best possible men in office, and the proper time to discuss these matters is before the regular town caucus, so that we can get the men who are the most agreeable to the greatest number. Remember the date, Friday evening, March 13, at the Commercial Club hall, and remember that everybody is urged to be present whether they are members of the Club or not. 41 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 " 1 f ' " Entertainment Was Success.

There is bound to be n hot fight made in Coos county in the state wide prohibition movement. Outside managers have already entered the Coos county field nnd are getting rendy to begin the movement here.

In ad dition there are to be cartoon illus trations used nnd tho speakers will "be here with talks and illustrated lectures. While it is believed Marsh- field and North Bend will vote wet, there is going to be a close contest in tho outside precincts and it would not be surprising if Coos county lin ed up in the dry column. Marshficld Record. Game Organizations to Meet. Portlarfd, Or. March 9. Delegates from organizations of sportsmen ir all parts of the state will meet al Portland, Monday, March 10, 1914 to form a state association. There are now 54 clubc of hunters ane fishermen in Oregon, and the readj responses received from theso clubr indicate that there will be a full rep rescntution of all sportsmen at the convention. The overwhelming majority of the sportsmen are in favor of the pro tection of fish and game, and the im provement of our game resources It will bo the purpose of the state as sociation to work along lines of gamt protection, to agree upon legislatioi in order to bring that nbout, and t exert the united influence of th sportsmen of the state to procure th passage of such legislation. The objects which the organizee sportsmen have in view are particu larly close to tho heart of each angle and hunter, because of the fact tha' the fund of $100,000 or more an nually used for fish and game pro tection and propagation, is crcatct by tho license fees paid by them There is a widespread feeling thai the sportsmen's fund has not nlway; been used to the best advantage, nne that at times its disbursement ha: been influenced by motives other thai the furtherance of the fish and gam resources of the state. It is thought that the state nsso ciation which will probably be known as the Oregon Sportsmen'i League, will adopt a system whicl will give to each club in the statf belonging to the league, one vote ii the affairs of the league, irrespective of the membership of the club o the number of delegates sent by the club to tho convention. The purpose of this is to prevent the dominatior of the affairs of tho league by a few of the stronger clubs. Among the entertainment feature proposed for the delegates are a trup shoot and fly casting tournament oi the day preceding the convention and a beefsteak dinner at the closr of tho convention, followed by mo tion pictures of a special interest to the sportsmen. Profit in Creameries When Rightly Managed Oregon Agricultural College.

SANDBERG FALLS OFF LOG AT CRAINE'S BOOM INTO RIVER. Body Recovered and Taken to Co quillc. Mother Lives in New York. G. E. Sandberg, a young man 27 years old, while .working on a log boom nt Crnine's camp yesterday fell into the river and was dorwned, having never come to the surface again after falling in. Just how the accident happened is not known as no one saw him fall. Alf. Johnson was working with him nnd had been talk ing with him only a few minutes be fore, but was several feet away and was looking in tho other direction when he heard a splash and looking around saw that Sandberg had fallen in. Search for the body was begun immediately but it was about an hour and a half before it was recovered. Some think that Sandberg died of heart failure and simply fell into the river, as his pike pole remained sticking into the log, and it seems as if he could hardly have lost his balance so long as he had hold of this pole. Others think, however, that he might have left his spike pole for a minute und then lost his bal ance, but of course both are only suppositions. Sandberg had no relatives in this section of the country, but his mo ther lives in New York City and a wire was sent to her yesterday after noon asking for instructions for the disposition of tho body, which was taken to Coquillc until instructions could be received. The unfortunate young man was industrious and had no bad habits. He had a number of close friends among the young men here, nil of whom speak very highly of him. Loganberry Growers to Form State Association. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Oregon, Mar. 10. The state wide organization of logan berry growers that was begun a few weeks ago will be completed at Salem on Saturday, March 14, in tho Commer cial club rooms. A big attendance is expected from many parts of the state, and business of great impor tance to the loganberry industry will be considered. "Ono of tho main purposes of the association is to standardize the pro duct and take steps to keep ship ments up to tho standard," says Prof. C. I. Lewis, horticulturist of tho Ore gon Agricultural College, who is working side-by-side with tho grow ers. The present condition of market and demand is very satisfactory, nnd it is tho mission of the association to keep them so. All fresh fruit, tho dried product, canned loganberries, all juices, jams and jells, should reach the consumer in good condi tion. "We also intend to create a bureau of statistics to ascertain the acreage yield and market conditions and as sist in advertising and distributing the logan berry crop of tho state, we want to uvoid the mistakes that have hampered the other fruit industries of Oregon.
