FLAMES TAKE
THE WIGWAM
FIRE DESTROYS BEACH RESORT
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
PROl'RIETOR AND FAMILY
BARELY ESCAPE WITH LIVES
Tho Wigwam, belonging. to E. Lew
in, and one of Bnndon's pojiulor re
sorts, was totally destroyed by fire
early Sunday morning. When tho
blaze was discovered it had gained
such headway that Mr. Lewin and
family barely escaped with their
lives.
Mr. Lewin does not know just how
the fire started but it was first dis
covered around tho kitchen flue, nnd
the electric wiring. As soon as the
fire was discovered the alarm was
turned in, but thcrd was no water or
hydrant near tho place, so nothing
could be done to save it., and the en
tire building, including the store, tile
dance hall and Mr. Lewin's living J
partments were destroyed, as well as
all their stock and household goods
making a total loss of over $11,000,
with only $1200 insurance.
Although Mr. Lewin naturally fcols
his loss vcr keenly, he is not dis
couraged, but expects "to rebuild and
go ahead again.
It seems that tho old adage of
never one fire, but wc must have
three, has held good in Bandon, as it
has been only a littlo'ovpr two weeks
since the big fire, and then a small
houso burned in tho east end of town
n few days later, and now comes the
Wigwam .It is certainly to lie hoped
that tba pro verbial Jj"Cj; will ..ufijco
and that it will bo iT longTlnioTMv
fore Bandon is visited with another
conflagration.
GOOD FEATURE WEDNESDAY
AT THE ORPIIEUM THEATRE
Thesecond installment of "Lucilo
Love, the -girl of Mystery" will bo
Bhown at tho Orphoum Theatre to
morrow night, Wednesday, July 1st.
Tho first of this series was shown
last Wednesday, and proved ono or
the most interesting feature filmp
ever shown in Bandon.
Tho second story of this series op
ens when Lucilo deserts tho hydro
piano in tho open ocean and makes a
sensational landing on the steamer.
Then for the first time Loubcquo bc
com esawaro that his prorgam of re
venge is being interfered with. The
moment ho sees tho girl ho is struck
with her rescmblanco to his first love
who in reality was Lucilft's mother.
His first move was to send out an un
signed wireless mcsagc that General
Lovo and not his aide, was tho traitor
who sold tjio diplomatic secrets. As
soon as this mcsago is sent out Lou
bepuo wrecks tho wireless apparatus
so thnt no further communication cai
be hold with the vessel. In doing so
ho causes ah explosion in which he is
injured. While acting as his nurse
Lucilo locates tho diplomatic papers
which Loubepue has stolen and placed
the blame on hor 'father. Tho ship
catches fire and burns to tho waters
edge, and Lucilo with the other wo
men on tho boat arc put off in a lifo
boat, which is caught by a big wave
and capsized. Lucilo finally lands, a
lono castaway upon ono of the South
Sea Islands,
For thrills you can't beat this pic
ture which will bo shown at tho Or
pheum tomorrow night.

"Zingo, the Son of the Sea," which

of the most sensational, tho most fan

man who from his infancy untH. he
readied the ago of twenty lived in a
forest with monkeys, nnd as one of
torn. He is taken off by a passing
ship and taught by the kindly sailors
until ho gradually forgets his mon
key days and becomes like other men.
His succeeding life is well told in tho

BIG FEATURE AT-THE
GRAND JULY FIFTH.
"The Great Leap" in four parts, or
"Uutil Death Does Us Part," is a
thrilling story of a fued drama of lovo
and hato in tho Kentucky mquntains.
This picture was staged under the di
rection of D. W. Griffiths, tho man who
made all the great Biograph produc
tions famous. The action throughout
this big production is constant; you
will unconsciously arise from your
scat, gripped by the intense emotions
the players portray in this exceiting
play. The great climax comes when
Heand'-She-clinging together' on'- a
madly galloping horse, driven to
dispair, dash over the cliff down CO
feet tnio the rover below. Do thoy

LIGHT AND FLOWERS.
Why
Garden It More Fragrapt
by
Night Than by Day.
Tho llcbt, -we receive from. stars
oTv
tho first magnitude, like Vepi, in equal
approximately to a forty thousand-millionth
part, of that of the sun. Jt Is cal
culated that the total light received
from the lesser stars Is equal to thnt of
3,000 stars of the first magnitude, or a
sixth part. of that which is scut to iw
from the moon.
Light exercises a mechanical pressure
which .can be measured hi the labora
tory. It has been shown by experi
ments with artificial light that in Its
production' enormous quantities of en
ergy aro dissipated.
In an ordinary wax candle tho total
energy which is transformed into light
Is really but 2 per cent, (ins and kero
sene lamps are not more 'economical.
On tho other Innid. the glow worm
transforms Into light, by means yit un
known.' 00 per cent of tho total energy
expended.
It is known that light influences very
largely the nrolna of flowers. A garden
Is nioro fragrant when It Is shaded
than when tho sun Is allowed to shine
In full blazo upon It. This, at any rate,
to tho conclusion of a Frenchman who
has recently made n vast number of ex
periments. That which afreets the fra
grance of flowors Is not tho oxygen of1

supposed, but tho light
According to tho samo authority, tho
Intensity of the perfume exhaled by n

"ZU ZU, THE BAND LEADER"
AT THE GRAND FRIDAY
When the Keystone Picture Com
pany, famous for their comedies, pro
duced "Zu Zu, the Band Leader," they
certainly scored the biggest hit that
any moving picturo audience has had
the pleasure of laughing at. To
create a farce comedy of two reels-
that bubbles over with comicnl situ
ations from the time the title is flash
ed on tho screen is no small under
taking and Mr. Sennett, the creator
of "Zu Zu" deserves tho unstinted
praise he has received from all over
the U. S. for giving us a real alive
comedy feature. Ford Sterling plays
Zu Zu and puts an abundant amount
of gingered animation in his part.
In his gymnnstics lie outdoes the
wildest efforts of the longest haired
Latin that ever crossed tho ocean at
the head of a royal musical organi
zation. Miss Normand, as Mable, is
as nimble as ever, timo and again
risking a session with a bonesetter.
Mr. Haggerty is Caesar, he of the
striped sweater and skin tight trou
sers. "Zu Zu" tho band leader will
make you shed tears of joy. You may
come to the show with a frown, but
you will go out with a smile. At the
Grand next Friday, July 3rd. 1

DRY ACCORDING TO REPOR'I
Tomorrow is July 1st, tho dav
when tho Coquille saloons must go

very dubious for the saloons. .
It is nlso stated that Mavor Mor
