Proprietor Perry Returns From a Suc
cessful Eastern Trip And Work
Will Be Started Immediately
1 S. 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.

of spruce logs. 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.

MEETING HELD BY ROSE-
far KG RAILROAD COMMISSION
A regular meetinc of the Rose-
burg-Coos Bay Railroad Commission
was held Monday night and a num
ber of matters were discussed apper
taining to this movement. uevvitj
Van Ostrand of Phillips, Wisconsin,
president of the Neenah-Uregon
Land ComDanv. which has large
holdings in this county, was present
at the meeting. 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.

on account ot the tiahV f.i .iiita-d I
afforded by the Panama Canal Tin;
canal route for shipping will aUo
make available the big lumber mar
kets of the Atlantic coast as well as
farther in the interior, via the Miss
issippi river and other lines of trans
portation. 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

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.

Up All Over the Country. 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

an be made out fo it for a while
i',d if ne lesuhc i-u what it is con

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
