The following will be of interest
here, as many of the posters referred
to are posted in the local saloons:
"Further violations of the corrupt
practices acf, regulating campaign
literature, will bring prosecution by
District Attorney Evans, following
the Teceipt of an opinion from Attor-ney-Gneral
Crawford that the
provisions of th emea'sure apply to
publications in regard to issues as
well as to those affecting candidates
only. -Following the posting of num
bers of anti prohibition posters,
which were unsigned, in tho saloons
of this city, Evans warned the Hop
growers' Association that tho publi
cations wero illegal and that he
would prosecute any violaters of the
act. Believing that the signature re
quirement did not apply to discission'
of an issue, the anti-prohlbitionista
presisted in their course. Acting up
on advices received this morning,
the District Attorney's office will
prosecute the Saloon League unless
the practice is discontinued." Coos

AT COQUILLE
REAL FINANCIAL PROBLEM IS
FACING THE CITIZENS OF THE
COUNTY SEAT. WILL HOLD
ELECTION SOON.
Coquille. Two real issues involv
ing the finances of the city are fac
ing the voters, at thee oming special
city election. Probably the most im
portant one is thqt'of the council
calling, upon, the, citizens to change
the charter so that a higher millage
for .city purposes may be levied. At
present) the limit is, ten mills and it
is necessary to change it so that at
least twenty mills can be levied. The
situation is said to have been brought
about by the refusal of the council
to grant any more saloon licenses af
ter July 1st, thus cutting off four
thousand dollars of revenue, conse
quently the question of raising the
millage to twenty will be voted upon,
and Lherc is, of course a difference
of opinion as to whether or not it will
carry, but tho prevailing opinion
seems to be that it must 'carry in
order to save tho city, and as one cit
izen has expresed it: "Why dang it,
it HAS t ocarry."
The other proposition is whether
or not the city shall bond for $30,000
to improve the water system, and al
though the general opinion seems to
be that it will carry, yet some are
trying to conflict it with the liquor
question and then is a possibility
that it may lose as a result.
Another matter being connected
with the stopping of licenses is the
street improvement question. The
Council Monday night decided to'
ignore ull previous steps on street
work in tho city, nnd begin anew.
Lack of funds is not a fatcor in tho
question, however, as some would
like to have it believed. Technical er
rors occurred when certain street
improvements were remonstrated
against. Twenty-eight blocks were
in the origina improvement dis
trict, but by remonstrance this num
ber was reduced to twelve. In mak
ing different estimates certain er
rors crept in and to validate the con
templated work, involving about
$12,000, it was decided to begin at
tho beginning and go over the pre
liminary ground again.
Tho inorchnnts as a rule deny that
any material difference has been
mado in business since tho abolish
ment of saloons, and that tho fear
that tho loggers would shun tho
town was unfounded. A certain
barber very definitely states that
his liusinoMS allows a one dollur
weekly Increase thin month over lust.

BIG PROBLEM

UNFOUNDED
DISPATCH IN OREGONIAN FROM
TELEDO,' ORE., THAT MOORE
MILL WAS CONTEMPLATING
NEW LOCATION IS WRONG.
Sunday's Oregonjan contained
dispatch from Toledo, Ore., ' to the
effect that Mr.' Moore ('meaning C. R
Moore) of the "Bandon Lumber' Co."
was in that city looking over, tho sit
uation with the view of locating in
that city if he .could secure the proper
ste and get the-timber. This report,
however, is erroneous, as the Recor
der has been informed on good au
thority. There is no foundation .to
the report and the Moore Lumber Co.,
is not now and never has considered
moving.
If the price of lumber continues to
look up the mill will start operations
again in the .near future.

ARMY WORN
APPEARING BY THOUSANDS,
THESE WORMS ARE WORKING
HAVOC WITH LAWNS AND
GARDENS. REMEDY.
The army worm, which was at
first thought to be cut worms, is work
ing havoc with gardens, lawns and
flower gardens throughout the city
and surrounding country. Many gar
dens in Bandon have already been
partially or totally destroyed. The
following formula, published in a re
cent issue of the Portland Journal
is said to be sure death to the army
worm, and we. reproduce it with the
Jiope that it will benefit some of our
readers in protecting their gardens:
: "To the Journal; Thinking per
haps your readers might be glad to
.enow of sure death to thea rmy
vorni, which is visiting our city and
laying waste its beautiful lawns and
gardens, I give you for publication a
formula that will, do the work. I
tried several preparations on the mar
,;et to no avail. This was given me
by a man who fought this pest nnd
conquered. I understand theso wonnsi.
travel in thousands creating devasta
tion wherever they go, and come up- .
on us once m 1G to 30 yenrs. They
will eat nny green thing above tho
arth. One cannot expect to kill
them all -with, one application, as they
hide (lurimr tho dav beneath leaves.
dried grass, ioa,rda, and .the. like, but
by saturating the ground and cover
ing all plant life,, also, freely apply
ing the emulsion abottt the, roots of
plants, you can extermfnate hundreds,
with one application. Great care
must be taken not to get the spray
too tsrong. One quart' to 20 will ef
fectually do the work. Following is
the formula: 2 pounds of whale oil
soap, cost 10c per pound; 3 gallons
kerosene, cost 15c per gallon; 1 gal
lon boiling water; total cost C5 cents.
Cut soap into small pieces. Pour ov
er this the boiling water, add the ker
osene, and stir constantly for 20
minutes or until soap is thoroughly
dissolved. Dilute 1 quart of the emul
sion with 20 quurts of cold water.
Sprinkje over lawns, gardens in fact '.
all vegetation. It will not harm gar
Jen, flowers or grass. One applica
tion will not exterminate the pests,
as it is impossible' to cover tho ground
with one application, but one will get
'immedate results. The emulson will
xterminate slugs, catterpillars in
fact, is sure death to all garden pests.
It will not harm utensils used in
mixing, but rather acts as a good
cleanser."
ROSEBURG PARTY ENJOYED
SCENERY AROUND BANDON
"Talk about fine scenery,'' said L.
Lewis this morning upon his return
here from a trip with Richard Stubbs
'you don't have to go to Switzerland
to find it. We visited Bandon, Gold
Beach, Crescent City and Grunts Pass
and passed though some of the most
sublime country from a scenic stand
point that I ever hope to see. It was
well worth the time wo spent."
Roseburg Review.
STREET SIGNS SHOULD
BE REPLACED NOW.
At different points in the city tho
street signs have been torn down,
and now thnt the house numbering
is going on these signs should be re
placed. There should bo a sign at ev-
ry corner or crossing, so that stran
gers in tho city may know just whero
they are at any point In tho city.
