Perry, proprietor of the Per ry veneer plant, is preparing to stmt up the plant tomorrow morning for a good long run, probably covering several months, as he has orders to fill thai will require a steady pull for some time to come. Mr. Peiry re turned last Saturday from a trip to Poitlond, Npokai.e, and other points in Oitgon and Washington and se cured all the orders he cared to fill, lie also has a number of largo orders from the south, and the two will make Ids big plant a busy place for the re mainder of the season. Mr. Perry's greatest trouble is in getting logs, as the most of the C3mps on the nver are shut down and it is neceessary for him to ship logs from Coos Bay, which means consid erable expense as well as much in convenience. This however does does not entirely discourage him, al though he could d.j much better if he could get logs closer at home. Mr. Perry informed a representa tive of the Recorder that if he could get sufficient logs he could keep his plant running at least ten months in the year and could se a million feet PARENT TEACHER'S MEETING A SUCCESS inree hundred "people, one "of the largest crowds ever accommodated in the High school auditorium, turned out to the meeeting of the Paient Teachers Association, Friday even ing, and enioyed a program of excep tional quality and interest. Many, perhaps the larger part of those there, attended the meeeting because of the folk dances staged by the pupils of the East side school, which brought memoriees of the child- I'UUU uuya apm.b in ocuuuuiaviuu tuuu tries where folk dances originated and are a part of the every' day life. Al though e-iellent, the dances of the little ones ivould huve been better ap preciated had they been staged moie conspicuously. Because of the fact that the .tage in the Auditorium is small it i nl not surrounded by any thing to prevent the children from falling from it, the dances were stag ed on the main floor among the aud ience and many were unable to get n good viuv. All of tie musical selections were well rendered and were repeatedly en chored 1 he papers read were to the the point and well presented. Because of the unexpected large crowd, many were turned away with out refreshments, but those who were fortunate enough to gain entrance to the dome tie science room say it was well worth the trouble.

His plant employs about thirty people when running at full blast which in itself is a nice lit lle pay-roll and most of the employ- es make good wages, as work is large ly piece work and it is up to the em ploye to do his best. It is not Mr. Perry's intention to run the plant al full capacity for a week or two, but the basket depart ment will be operated, and by the end of January lie expects to have all departments operating at full capa city. In addition to the veneer plant Mr. Perry has a complete set of machin ery for making broom handles, and in fact has operated this plant to a considerable extent, although i tis not his intention to run his broom handle mill just at present, but a lit tle later on, when the market opens up again he will manufacture l.rooin handles on an extensive scale, and the two plants in the same building will make one of the best industries in this section of .Southern Oieyon, and will employ a large force of help the year round. WILL DEEPEN CHANNEL ALL WAY TO COQUILLE The Coquille Sentinel complains of the liaudon Recorder because in our report of the meeting of the Poit Commissionrs, we stated that half a million dollars was wanted "for the local harbor", and did not say any thing about the deepening of the channel to Coquille The fact is that the commissinners are intending to dredge the river and deepen the channel all the way to our sister city, and when we mention "the local harbor" we had in mind all that is contained in the Port of Baudot). It is just about as necees sary to have the inside river in good condition as it is to deepen and im- pioe the bar.

Mr. Van Ostrand, early last spring appeared before the Roseburg Commercial club, and as a sequel to that visit the iirst railrond committee was appointed to take up the movement which result ed in the voting of the ?o00,000 railroad bond issue and the creation of the present railroad commission at the regular city election last Oc tober. Mr. Van Ostrand stated that the financial depression in the east as a result of the European war, now appears to be relaxing and normal conditions seem likely in the not distant future. The oninion seems to prevail in the East that the war is not likely to continue more than another year as the chief participants will have lamely exhausted their available re sources within that time. When the war ends, there will be an enormous demand in this country for goods of various kinds as well as for lumber and other building materials to re place the cities destroyed. This is oound to bring great activity to all business and financial interests in this country. on the Pacific coast this influence will be especially felt, FEWER "WILLIES" THAN IN 1895 Hotel Barometer Shows Pres ent Times Not In It With Da3"s of Coxey's Army Hotel people have a characteristic barometer by which they measure the severity of hard times. This is by che number of wayfarers who apply for free feeds at their back kitchen Joors. According to this test, the present period of depression is not I learly as severe as the one that pre vailed during the years which pre ceded 1007. At that time the Hotel Gallier was iccustomed to hand out charity in he form of free breakfasts to four ind five applicants a day. The Gal ,ier made it a rule that the hungry who applied at the back door must tie made to apply at the front door. If he did not quail before this test he was admitted, given a full feed, ind sent on his way with a more cheerful feeling under his trouser ivaist band. It did not take the Willies long to recognize a friendly haven and they vere accustomed to post notices a ong the trail to the efTect that the Jispensing power at the Gallier had i warm heart. The stage drivers used to notice these signs, generally Hags, posted along the trail and joc jsejy acted as advance agents of the incoming walking delegates of mis fortune. When they passed a group aeaded this way they would take men tal notes of it, and arriving here, would acquaint the landlord that he might expect additional patronage in the near future. Applicants for charity in these parts are not nearly as numerous as they were in the days of twenty yeas ago, by which t is argued that times now are much betteer than they were in 1895.

Besides this there is sure to come to this coast soon after the close of the war, a heavy tide of immigration from the war-stricken countries. Most of these will become desirable acquisitions to our population and their children will soon become real American citizens. These immi grants will help to develope latent resources, clear up logged oh" lands and add largely to the production of material wealth. , In order to share in these benefits it is necessary that this railroad movement be advanced as rapidly as possible. While at present the bond markets are practically nil, the idea expressed by Mr. Van Ostrand is not to wait for the bond dealers to make proposals for the local issue, hut to go right ahead with necessary ar rangements, so that when the bond market opens, Roseburg will bo in line for the first money available for new investments. These ideas were very favorable received by the commission, and be fore adjournment steps weie taken for getting directly in touch with large financial interests in Minne apolis, St. Paul, Chicago and New York. It is believed the matter can be talked over with some of these within the next thirty days. Rose burg Review. BANDON BOYS WIN AT BASKET BALL Locals Find Riverton Easy Picking.. A n d Defeat Thern Scor; 43 to 15 That alone tells the tale of the basket ball game between fne two high schools on the local floor Fri day evening. Keeping the ball in their own ter ritory practically all of the time and shooting baskets at will, Bandon had the game tied up and tucked awaj from the fir.'rt whistle. Play after play was pulled oil' without hitch, the team work completely bailliug the visitors who seemed unable to get started. Once or twice during the contest the up-river boys showed a little speed and did some fast and accurate passing, biit Coach Quig ley's boys completely smothered these attempts to even' up the score. Robertson, playing at forward for the visitors, was easily the star for his team, and was the only, man who seemed able to bjeak up the team work of his opponents. For Bandon it would be haid to pick out the stars, with the exception of Leslie Pullen, who made 18 of the -18 points, shooting baskets from every angle. His only fault is in waiting for the ball to be passed to him and a lit tle more hustle combined with his ability to shoot would make himt a hard man to beat. Windsor, Webb and I Pullen all showed good form and their performance Friday .night undoubtedly will place them in per manent positions. In the first half of the preliminary game between the second teams of the two schools, the score stood 10 and 11, but in the second half. Ban don increased her leud and the final score stood Bandon 33, Riverton 13.

Pros pects For Business Are Good Business men of Bandon have a movement on font, which looks ery t'dvorttble lor niiiteriali.ing, to start the Bandon Woolen Mill in the very ear future. I he proprsiticn is In tike llu- mill n'or and opcule under sort of n mutii.i! plan and sec what an be made out fo it for a while i',d if ne lesuhc i-u what it is con ..Jeied tln'y .vn -11 be, then ;no mill will he operated continuously. it is ; ild Hint it would tare nboiit Klii'Ont to stall 'he wliee'.s to rol uin, a i:' i it is 'he p. an 01" these who iijve ti.e inoveme I un J'o.i'. to put ,iu fOine kind a 1 ond or other .so jurity that would he satisfactory to the creditors and to the stockholders s well and as soon as it is aseertain id that the proposition woul 1 lie a paying one then deflnate arrangement jnn be made for its regular operation. The present plan is to call a meet ing of the business men of Bandon ,otne time this week and find out what each one would be willing to do to get the mill started. It is re alized by everyone that if the mill could be started and opirated contin uously that it would be a fine thing for everybody. The plan is to op erate it night and day, and if this should be done it will employ about sixty people at good wages and be the means of distributing several thous and dollars every month among the people of Bandon. Just now it is an excellent lime for such a move as the woolen mar ket is at it's height, and the mills ill over the count ty are running ut full capacity, und many of them are running night ami day, and even at that rate they are not able to fill the orders that are coming in. This fact is particularly true of the mills n Oregon. It is slated thai the mills t Pendleton, Salem, Oregon City and uther places tire even turning down ..lilers because they are unable to fill , hat they now have. With these f icts before us, it would cer uinly bo an opportune time to start he Bandon mills at once, as it would ,iot only be a source of employment of labor, but would be a great profit bearing proposition for those who would be interested in it. It would seem that it ought to be .111 easy matter to get Millicient cap ital together to start the plant under such promising conditions and it is fully believed that there will be no trouble in realizing these desires. The wooleu mill has been one of the jest industries of Bandon ever since .t started up und has run more steud ly thi.11 any other industry of any ind until recently, when it became nvolveed in some legal entangle ments, which were the meant of clos ng it down, temporarily tit least. There has been much talk this sum .nor about it's boing removed to Coos ton find other places have also been talked of, but thnre has never been iny leason for seriously considering my of them as there has been little real money changed hands on the pro position. It cannot be definitely stuted at this time just what can be done in iIhj matter, but there will probably ne facU und figures secured before the meeting is hold and at thiH time tds ns lie outlined and arranged. Usl Friday' Coos Hay Tiinos gave out an interview with It. K. L. Hod iUion, who has butm nwiiiiger of the oral wooUm mills siiii'u the)' stinted up, and this bin Iru it is tuit like y that Mr. Itodillioii will havu any thing to 4u with t operation of tliw mil hr if .it h.uW start.

THE DAILY FILMS BETTER THAN NEWSPAPERS ..If you were going to buy a news paper you would nuturally select tho latest copy for sale at tho news stand, if tho clerk would offer you a pajier a coqplo of weeks old you would pro bably usk him if hu had just come out of tho grave yard. So it is with the Daily News films that you pay good money to see at the picture show. You don't feel overly enthusrd when you see a news film that is from six to eight months old, old enough to re semble limburger cheese. It is the business of the munnguinent of tho Grand theatre to give their patrons full value for the money spent; that's why (hey have siiciTeded in getting the I'atlie Daily News series, IhmiuiI twice 11 wi'k, nmi booked for our pat rons not Inter tlniii thirty ilsy. lit' Umislliig uveitis of (tin grcut Europ nun wur, Urn! oiTUitd in l)iiiuiiiU-, you Mm mi in motion plcluirs NOW.
