U.S. INSPECTOR
KOCH PLEASED
FOUND LOCAL LIFE SAVING
STATION IN HEST OF
CONDITION.
J. C. Cantwcll, inspector of life
saving stations, was in Bandon this
Wok, arriving on the Nana Smith
at Coos Bay Sunday and coming over
here Tuesday night, lie remained un
til Wednesday noon.
At noon Wednesday Capt. John
son and his crow took Mr. Cantwcll
out in the power boat to catch the
Alliance sailing from Coos Bay to
Eureka, and Captain Cantwcll board
ed the Alliance about two nnd one
half miles at sea.
As Capt. Johnson had a desire to
inspect conditions along the coast as
far as Sunset Bay, he took this op
portunity while at sea to do so, and
with his crow in the power bont,
headed in that direction. On arriv
ing at Sunset Bay tho temptation to
stny for a little outing was so great
that they camped over night, return
ing home Thursday morning.
Captain Cantwell says that the
Bandon station is one of tho best and
most business like stations he has in
his district, which is certainly a
feather in the cap of Capt. Johnson
and his crew.
Capt. Cantwell and Capt. Johnson
were shipmates on the Revenue Cut
ter Rush in 188!) and 1890, conse
quently were old friends and thei
visit hero was enjoyed by both, as
they could recall many incidents of
those days. , "
..CapU Cantwcll while hero, discus
sed th6 bill now pending in Congress
amalgamating tho Life Saving Ser
vice and the Revenue Cutter Service
and the two services to be called the
Coast Guard, doing the work as now
with some additioal duties. This will
also increase the pay of tho men ii
tho service and will givo them what
is called a longevity service, which
means that their salary will bo in
creased 10 per cent every five yearn
until they have served 20 years, and
after thirty years of servico they
will bo retired on three-fourths pay.
Capt. Johnson, of this station hns
been in tho service 2J! years, so under
to new bill, which has already pass
ed tho senate and is now in the house
he will have only seven more years
to servo.

ousinoss and civic organizations of
each community will be eager to co
spcratc jn arrangements, that the
cood women of each community will
