GOOD ROADS DAY SUCCESS BANDON BUSINESS MEN TURN OUT IN FORCE WITH SHOVELS AND PICKS AND MUCH GOOD WORK RESULTED. Good Roads day, Saturday, dawned bright and clear and about 75 men of Bandon took advantage of the good weather to lend a hand in building roads. The men divided up into several squads, some going to Lnmpa on the Dispatch and working this way, cut ting brush and filling up holes. Oth ers went to Bear Creek whero good work was done. Somo crossed the river at Billiards Ferry and worked on the "Seven Devils" rond, while still "others went down the coast on the Bandnn-Langlois road, where somo ditching and filling was done and sevoral hundred yards of plank road laid. A few men went down to the Ben nett ranch and did some good work on the road to the beach, and the Ban don life waving crew put in some good licks on tho street in front of the government property. Taken all in all a great amount of good was accomplished on the var ious stretches of road, and the busi ness men and others nre deserving of great credit for the enthusiasm in which they took hold of the prop osition. Somo who were unable to go in per son gave tho money instead, which If jut is good, as it will be put in tin road fund and used to a good purpose However, there wero some who neith or contributed money or labor whe should havo done so.

GOVERNOR WEST WILL GO TO FRONT IF CALLED Salem, Or., April 27.-Governor Os wald West announced to day that he will join the Oregon troops in case they are called to the front in the war with Mexico. Ho said he would go as a membei of the cavalry regiment which he hat asked Lieutenant Hennessey, cavalrj officers of tho regular army who hat been, detailed by tho war department as instructor to the cadets at the Ore gon Agricultural college, to immedi ately organized. Asked if ho would resign his office ho said he hadn't given that feature consideration yet, but if it wore nec essary he would quickly resign. How over, as there is no restriction upor the time a governor may be absent from the state, it appears tho niattci of resigning would bo entirely option al with the Governor. No word has been received by tin governor to indicate how soon, if at all, a call is likely to be made for tin militia organizations but he is pro ceeding on tho theory that the ordoi to arms will come coon and tho third oregon regiment has been put in com plete readiness while responses to the announcement that n regiment of cav alry is to be organized are coming from many sides today. In organizing the new regiment oi cavalry, Governor West said that a number of regular army officers will lip assigned to tho various compnnici in. order to meet tho situation thnt presents itself In bo muay untrnincr officers and men commlr.g into tht sorvico.

Those who were hoping to have a Coos county building at the Panama Pacific exposition are doomed to dis appointment, nccording to informa tion received by the Commercial Club. All exhibits must be made in tho main exhibit palaces. This will be a great disappointment to Coos county people who had hoped to do some extensive advertising of this section at the fair. It will now be necessary to devise other mean3 of advertising than that at first planned. The following letter from the Di rector of Exhibits to tho Commer cial Club explains the position of the exposition officials. "Bandon Commercial Club I am duly in receipt of your communica tion of April 14th in which you re quest us to give you certain informa tion with regard to the exhibit of Bandon, the Coquillo River and Coos county at this exposition. "In reply, I beg to inform you that all exhibits will have to be made in tho main Exhibit Palaces. The Ore gon building will contain no exhibits for award, and only displays not to be viewed by the jury will bo install ed therein. Even if you succeeded in erecting a building for Coos county, vou would not be allowed to make your exhibit from that county in this lutilrlinrp "If vou will inform me ns to the exact nature of your exhibit, I will then be nblo to refer you to the var ious Departmental Chiefs under whose jurisdiction such exhibits fall. "I havo referred your inquiry as to" the use for decorative purposes on the exposition grounds of Coos county myrtle nnd Port Orford white cedar shrubbery to tho Director of Works who has jurisdiction over this portion of the work.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- valli3, Ore., April 27. In co-operation with the department of Agronomy' nt the Agricultural College 120 farm ers of the Willnmette Valley and the coast counties nre making ex tensive field tests in the value of ground limestone to acid soils. The purpose of the tests is to secure reli able data of the effect and profits of lime on sour soils, and to ascer tain tho outside prices that may be paid for ground limestone that is used -at a profit. If these experiments demonstrate the agricultural value of lime nt prices that it may be produced for, ltd use on sour soil would be great ly stimulated with rosulting gain in crop production throughout tho region atrected. Based on laboratory tests conducted by Professor H. D. Scuddor, the policy of applying lime to acid soils will be profitable at prices not to exceed $3 per ton for tho ground limestone. With a sulll cient supply nt this price or less, it is believed by Professor Scuddor that farmers of tho Willamette Valley alone would consume 100,000 tons of ground limestone annually. Tho deficiency of limeproduces conditions undosirable in many ways. The chief injury, nccording to Pro fessor Scuddor, is duo to its unfavor able action in tho development of nitrogen-gathering bacteria.

That Flavel, on the Columbia river between As tpria and the ocenn wjill be the t'er- minus ux uiu Bieuiusiiiji line wnicu will be put into operation shortly nf tor tho first of next year, was an nounced by Louis W. Hill when in Portland a few days ago. While not going into details Mr. Hill intimated that the plans for the docks aro prac tically ready and that the structures will be of mammoth size and that tho railroad yards in connection with the docks will accomodate not less than 1,000 cars. The site selected by the Hill, sys tem is three miles west of Astoria and is inside the boundaries of the Port of Astoria. The tract has a frontage of 3,800 feet on tho Colum bia River and is considered to bo one of tho most vnluablo pieces of proper ty under the ownership of the Hill system. The docks are expected to be completed and ready for the steamers now being built for tho Hill' lines at tho Cramp yard in Philadel phia According to a report recently is sued by the Northwestern Fruit Ex change of Portland, up to tho close of business on April 15, that organi zation had collected and distributed among is shippers tho returns on 1,123 cars of fruits of all kinds, amounting to $912,621.48, a net aver ago to' the shippers of $812.06 on each car. Proceeds from these shipments were mniled to shippers within an average of 35 days after forwarding each car. A recent survey of market condi tions indicates that tho demand for Oregon prunes is tho best ever known in the state, and while tho season so far has not been favorable for record- breaking crop, thero is little reason to- believe that it will fall much, if any below the average, nnd tho promise of unusually good prices will probab ly make net returns to growers bet ter than ever before received. On account of their superior quality, Or egon prunes head tho quotations in all tho eastern markets. The population of Coos County is likely to make a rapid growth within tiie next fow days.
