INCREASE OF 35 OVER LAST YEAH Lacks Only 10 of Having Required Number to Hc comc an Independent Dis trict. Bandon still leads in Dcliool popula tion of the school districts in Coos county, according to the official census just completed by J. W. Mast, secre tary of the local school board. The total number of children of school ago in the district is 900, be ing divided as follows: males, 17:1; females, 487, making a majority of 14 for the ladies. This census shows an increase of 35 over last year, there being 925 in the district then. This substan tial increase in school population comes as an agreeable supriwc to many Bandoninns who thought that owing to the biff fire and the cloning down of the mills that many familie.i had left the town, and it was thought there would be a decrease in the city nchool population, but in face of these surmises, the opposite has proved true and although a few families have gone many rooro have como in, thus showing confidence in the future de velopment of Bandon as those who have come in are investing their mon cy here and expect to make this a permanent home. Not only is Bandon the largest dis trict in the county in point of popu lation but we have also made a big ger incrcaso than our nearest com petitor Mnrshficld which according to the census has about 920 with an incrcaso of only about 12 or 15 foi the year. Another interesting fact about the largo number of school population in the district is that wo are only 10 short of having an independent dir. trict According to the school lawi of Oregon a district becomes an in dependent district when it con show a school population of 1000. Wo had a gain of 35 this year and by in creasing that gain by five next year we will reach the desired goal. Tins ought to be easy as thero is every indication that there will be a big business revival in the spring ant' many more people will bo coming in next summer. Thero are a great many advantages in being an indopondont district, among which are that the district can largely choose its own course of study, and will have five members of the school board instead of three, and are more independent of tliu various states chool regulations.

PrwK th " CASE COKES FRIDAY DETECTIVE MITCHELL FOUR- CASTS SENSATION Has Nothing to Say at Present Re garding Ilia Position In tUe Scandal Cases Tomorrow the grand jury will roll up their sleeves and sail into the pre liminary hearing of the charges in the Coach ease, acording to informa tion given out by W. J. JNlitchell, the detective, who arrived in Bandon last night to atend to matters pertaining to the case. The grand jury has a big task before it judging from the drift of Mr. Mitchell's talk, and their findings are apt to be prove highly sensational. "I have nothing further, beyond the remarks I have already made, to make public," said Mitchell. "I will stay with the case until it is cleared up, and in the near future I will make a statement covering the case and my position in it." Mr Mitchell eamc to Bandon last night along with Joe Coach and wife, Bird Nosier and bride and Miss Lolitn Simpson. DOES FILM ACTRESS J TAKE DOUBLE PART? A great many people who are fol lowing the "Trey O' Hearts" pic tures now being shown nt the Grand theatre every Thursday night are of thu opinion that Cleo Madison, the lending lady, does not play both characters Rose and Judith Trine. They maintain that it is impossible for Miss Madison to appear m boll) roles at the same instant. However, the next time you see the "Trey O' Hearts" observe closely when both Judith and Rose apear in the pic ture nt the same lime, and sue if you can detect the trick that the camera is playing in having Miss Madison seemingly appear as both Roso and Judith Trine, .Judith, she of the fiendish nature, seeking Ujo destruc tion of Alan Iiw; Rose, of the refin ed, shrinking temprament who ab hors crime. Does Miss Madir.on play both characters? That's the question We will leave it to your decision. CONDITIONS IN COOS BETTER THAN OUTSIDE Edmund A., Keane, who was at one timo in Coos county and put on one or two newspaper rubscription contests and did other newspaper work in this section, has just return ed to the county from the Puget Sound country and states that he is much surprised at the conditions here and that they arc better than any oth er place on thu coast. "I was agreeably surprised," said Mr. Keane, "on returning to this sec 'tion to see the people so prosperous and business fo active. 1 expected to see business conditions curtailed about the snmo ns on othro parts of the coast and to see tilings very dead The reverse is true, however, and al though there is not the great activity thero might be if times over the coun try were moro prosperous, yet tlieic are giont evidences of activity and in soino placos it seems there is more doing than in 1910, when loggers de nianded strawberries and cream in camp. Right now Coos county is particularly fortunate in its location and iidoubtedly the reason of much of the good condition of atfairs is due to the fact that there are no really poor in Coos county to he taken care of. I nPortlnud it is not uncommon to s-o hundreds of men make appli cation when an employer ndvertisus for hlp, and no far as possible, ar ruiitfiimcnU nro being made to give employment to thono living in the city by uiving tlioin work on the roads."

II Men Arrested in Salem Charged With Kidnap ping Simpson Girls Are Released. EVIDENCE IS NOT HELD SUFFICIENT County Prosecutor Thinks Me Has Enough Evidence to Sustain a More Serious Charge. W. J. Mitchell, B. L. Nosier, Joe Coach and John Horron, tried before Judge Sliuster in North Bond Friday on the charge of having kidnapped Ruby and Loliata Simpson, were re leased on .account of insufficient evi dence, but according to Prosecuting Attorney Liljoqvist the ovidence wu sufficient to warrant an investigatiqn by the grand jury on the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Evidently things in connection with the cases have not been handled in a way to suit the prosecuting attorney, for it was generally expected in Marshfield before the trial came olT that the men would not be bound over and on Saturday liljoqvist dismiss ed the charge against Ruby Simpson-Nosier of having contributed to the delinquency of her minor sister The testimony of Miles A.'Snmjj con, the father of the glrlsr'upon' whose evidence hinged the whole af fair, proved somewhat of a farce. He stated that he had no particular grounds for bringing the kidnapping charge other than that ho feared that the girls wore being taken away for immoral purposes and that was the best way he knew of stepping the party. As an explanation of why he had gone to G. T. Treadgold on this ocasion he stated that Mr. Treadgold had always been his nttornoy and that itw sa but natural to take the affair to him. Early in the cose at North Bend it became evident that Iiljeqvist was digging for evidence which he would use in the grand jury investigation. His cross examination quickly ran from the kidnapping charge and it was evident that ho was gathering evidence for use in the moro serious charge of contributing to the delin quency of a minor. The attitude of the two girls on the stand was rath er flippant and they giggled and laughed during their time in the witness stand. When asked why she had register ed at Mapclton under the name of Miss Kelly, Ituby, the elder sitor, an swered: "Oh I just wanted to go away .uhI get married and then come back and surprise the people." Later Liljoqvist asked her why she left Bandon. "Oh, 1 like the climate liorc n good deal better," was Hie reply. "Yes, I guess it was a good deal hoter in Bandon," shot back tlio at torney. Here the ni.nirc of the testi inony shifted and from then on re felled to the more serious charge. It developed that the places where tlio girls had residud, both in North Bend nnd Marshfield, were question able. August Erinzen, owimr of the house in which the girls roshled in Marshfield, stated that the rent of $15 for the house had been paid ii idvnnro by Ed Murray, but that he would not rent the house to them for a second mouth as the neighbor had comulained aUiut the ulace be cause of the many automobiles k"K thero at all hours of the day anil night. Liljoqvist stales thai there will li no halfway slop in the cases and thai hu is not afraid that any of the pei ions wanted will ntumut t ire nw;i as Unit would be very d.niiugi' c uliuuw agHiimt them.

BIG SAN FRANCISCO LUMBER i MAN SEES BETTER TIMES Charles It. McCormick, head of Iho -McCormick Lumber Company of oatfrcaneisco, is authority for a stale tnttiOtii&cr th first of the yeai the lunitJewnhfKet, which has been on tho 'dump for tho past six montha will experience a stimtlus that will put it some where near its normal cond'tion again. Mr. McCormick citosi several reasons for his belief that lumber will soon bo on the move "The railroad companies," explaiiu Mr. McCormick, "have not purchased any lumber of consequence for some time. It is my bolief that they soor. will have to be laying in supplies of this nature. The roads will have tc lie kpt in good shape, as there is in dications that there will be an onor mou.se business tho coming year. The two world's fairs in California one at San Francisco and tho other at San Diego are attractions which wil! bring large crowds to this coast. Un der normal conditions the railroads mc great quantities of lumber. An other probable purchaser of lumber on a nextensive scale cited is Mex ico. As soon as conditions down that way become anything like settled, Mr. McCormick seems certain tho business interests there will begin importing lumber heavily from tho United States MRS. C. II.

Owoinf to the general belief that tho Dollai Company, one of tho largest shipping ind lumbar concerns in the country .vill eventually take over -the Johnsoi md other lumber interests in tho Co .juille, it is expected that there' wil e spirited bidding between the Dol .ar and Wheeler interests, tho hit tor having to run it up t oprotect hii ji g mortgage.

OFFENDERS ARE HEAVILY FINED Kill 400 Doe, Fawn and Bucks During Last Three Months and Use Hides to Make Gloves. Gold Bench, Dec. 7. Deputy Game Warden Win. Powell and John Ad ams, backed by a strong posse, yes terday made a raid on the Brownvillo iflovc factory, located on the Will Clarno place near the headwaters of the South Fork of the Pistol River, ind arrested Geo. Fischer, Clifford, Van Norwick, Robertson nnd Gilden, five men who havo been suspected of the illegal killing of deer in Curry :ounty. A man named Bolton, who has been traveling around the country jelling tanned deerskin gloves, tho output of the factory, was arrested near the Hardenbrook ranch. All of tho men were taken to Gold Beach and arraigned for trial before the justice of the peace. The arrest of these mon marks the conclusion of one of the most fla grant violations of tho law that has ever come to light in Curry County. Since September, and perhaps before, the gang has been slaughtering scores of deer with utter disregard for tho game laws and the gamo wardens. Neighbors cstimato that tho men had killed 400 deer in and about that frac tion of tho country for tho skins and say that the glorea turned out by tie men wre high grade, tho tanning being exceptionally good and evident ly dono yb an expert. During tho month of Septebmer thu gasoline schooner Rustler brought the omplete glove making plant into this port and it was shipped overland to the Clarno jilace. Fischer was at tho head of the outfii and it is rumored that he made the remark that thu game wardens might get him but that lie would do some getting himself if they came after him At the timo of their capturo there wore 75 hides on the premises. At tho trial in Vica ftcrnoon, Fis cher was given the heaviest sentence $300.00 fino and 60 days in jail. Clif ford got a fino of $150 and Van Nor- .vick and Robertson, who pleaded guilty, each drew $50. Golden turn ed states evidence and was not proso cuted.
