It is an old custom at the end of each year to Uiko stock of ourselves to find what lessons can bo learned by tho experiences of tho past year and to lay more or less formal plans for tho ono ahead. Those factors that touch our person al lives only, are not for public in terest and discussion, but our national and community lives arc of keen in terest to all. Nationally though this past year has been ono of hardships and unem ployment for many and a period of lessened opportunity for all owing to tho invalidism of our insdustrial sys tem, still wo can view it with grati tude and thanksgiving. An earnest endeavor to enact into our national life tho christian faith we profess bar prevented a concerted endeavor of prcditory commercialism from plung ing our country into a criminal con quest of Mexico. Otherwise wo might now bo having the best young manhood of our country suffering death and becoming incapacitateo through wounds and disease while the country at large would be piling up a debt to oppress the coming genera tion. All our troubles sink into in significance when we look across the Atlantic. Industrially wo have had several great constructive legislative acts, the best of which were laws creating the reserve banks and tho government railroads in Alaska. Tho successful romnletion of the Panama canal is among tho greatest of our blessings. Tho determination to stop further re formatory legislation against big bus iness and to change our conservation policy from one of inaction to one ol nrhiovement are not tho least of the is a hnrbingor of restored confidence in tho value and safety ot railroad so ciiritiea and promises well for a per iod of renewed construction activities by the railroads. Nature has been prodigal in bo stowing upon us the past year ai. abundance of agricultural products. The financial arrangements where by the cotton growers of the soutl. nro alilo to borrow money at reason able rates on tho wnro house re.-eipU for tlioir cotton instead of being ni formally compelled to throw it upoi tho market while tho prico is below tho cost of production is probably oik of tho year's greatest nchievemnets. Our most praiseworthy advance has boon however in an awakened intelligence that has taken steps to insure greater justice in our indus trisal lifo finding expression in min imum wago laws especially for wo men nnd children and in lnws protect ing them by limiting their hours of service nnd insuring sanitary factory conditions. Socially this lias found expression in prohibition nnd in laws to do away with tho social evil. Regulation of places of public amusement, and the cstnhlishmcnting of municipal ones supplemented by intelligent instruc tions have improved conditions. Tho lessons" we should learn are to prefect our system of production nnd distribution with more of intelligence well thought out method in plnco of tho present hit or miss anarchy. We should in viow of our great natural re sources eliminate a great deal of our social and industrial misfortunes es pecially tho periods of enforced idlc iioss on the part of our industrial la bors, Wo have an opportunity to enlarge our coinmerco especially with South America nnd to establish a merchant ma riuo. Wo may lie of servlco to tho world in holpiug to roitoio pence nnd in tem pering tho piiuishmunt of tho van quished nation of tho present war, It Ium boon wiiil that mankind nov wr U btil alvMiyg l to bo blossml.

Uuiy struction or arc having their plans worked out by the architects. Bandon has continud to increase in population as shown by our school census. It has shown its progressive spirit in starting street paving, in building sowers and in acquiring by purchnse tho privately owned water works. . All legal and other obstacles have been cleared away from the path of the Port of Bandon. Sufficient sums aro now available to nllow the com mission to prosecute the harbor and river improvement work energetical ly during the ensuing year. This alone inaugurates a now ncriod of progress and propority. It would be in keeping with our pro gress in other matters if the commun ity would undertake the construction of a system of modern roads all con verging on Bandon and thereby mak ing the country tributary to our port. A road is especially desirable to con nect us with tho railroad at Marsh field which will be completed during 1015. Then we should have good land communicator, witl. tho rest of tho state. Another road mu:h needed is one to connect with the fine Curry county road. Curry county is naturally trib utary to Bandon, but much of its traf fic is being diverted to other points on account of better traffic connec tions. It is rapidly filling up with jettlers nnd this trallic u . ecoming Jaily more valuable. The loss in the tie industry is one duo solely to poor roads that reaches annually a large mm. It is necessary for Bandon to act at once in order to maintain its posi tion as point of entry for this section. Good roads will induce emigrants to settle upon nnd improve our cut )vor timber lands. A regular boat should be estab lished between Bandon nnd Portland so that wo can divert our commerce to Oregon points instead of being de pendent upon San Francisco alone. With good direct water and land connections with the rest of the state we would get the visits and attention of those seeking homes nnd invest ments for capital who now get no farther than Coos Bay points. After ,;ood roads are built and not before xm we interest capital In developing .ho surpassing natural advantages of Bandon as a summer resort. In fur iherancc of this plan an automobile Irivc should connect the city with the jeach. It has been wittily said that the umber business is looking up because t is on its back and cannot look elsc .vhorc. It has been at so low nn ebb for so long a time that the lumber uipply of the country Is becoming cx laustcd. This regardless of tho ap mrent resumption of construction ae ivities by tho country will cause a eturn to prosperity in that industry. The lowering of frieght rates through .he use of the Panama canal will be a eneral stimulus while the improve nont of the harbor so that boats of Iccp draught can load to their capa ity will bo a strong local one. Never before has there been such i steady stream of emigration into .his part of Oregon, nnd capital is iccking invesment hero in laud and Dther resources. The Recorder with a firm belief in ts realization wishes to each and all i most happy and prosperous New Year. He Stirred Up Business.
