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:

Atlantic City 72 72
North Head, Wash ....58 r.8
Newport, Oregon 57 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.

the summer playground of Europe.
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

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.
As it is now outlined tho campaign
is to be one of educntion and the
newspapers are to be used to advo
cate the cause of prohibition. In ad
dition there are to be cartoon illus
trations used nnd tho speakers will
"be here with talks and illustrated

there is going to be a close contest
in tho outside precincts and it would

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

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor

cheese factories are highly profitable

DROWNS
IN RIVER
G. E. 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.
