COUNTY ATTORN 12 Y OPPOSES BONDING OF PORT County Attorney L. A. Liljequist, in a speech at the banquet of the Coos County Bar Association, Wednesday talked against the bonding of the Port of Bandon as well as the Port of Coos Bay. G. J. Treadgold, attorney for the Port of Bandon, and Cassius R. Peck, attorney for the Port of Coos Bay, both made addresses in which they took h.uo with Mr. Liljeqvist and showed how the whole people would be benefited by the raising and spend ing of money by bonds as the govern ment would duplicate the amount raised, thus bringing in large sums of money to be distributed for labor, ma terial and other commodities in the community as well as to make per manent improvements in the harbor. The street commissioner has fin ished a railing along the temporary sidewalk from Bandon avenue up the lull to the Tracy residence, eliminat ing the danger of a bad fall by some of the small school children.

II. Smith, proprietor of the Sunset City addition to Bandon, an notices that he has plans under way which will in all probability muter ialize in the establishment of a big tabernacle and camp meeting grounds down in his addition. Mr. Smith is negotiating with lead ing members of the Christian church in Oregon with a view having them make Bandon beach their permanent camp gounds, erecting the Inrgi tabernacle and holding camp meet ings, lectures, etc. during the slim mer mouths. Mr. Smith says that if the plan is brought to a focus, there will be from three to five thousand people of this denomination from variou arts .i the state, ij idon uriiK u,c sumniei and they will stay from three weeks to three months. In this connection the Record i would suggest that should such a plan be carried out and a tnbornacle of such large dimensions be built, it would be an excellent place for the holding of a chaluuqua every summer There is already a movement on foot for the establishment of a chntnuqua and it would be an excellent idea for the promoters to work in conjunction with Mr. Smith for the big tabernacle and thus two great purposes can be served and lie the means of making Itaudon a much more attractive sum mo resort than it has ever been be fore.

DRY'BANQUET FOR LAWYERS No Liquor Served At Annual Coos County Event Coos county attorneys established a new record at their regular annual meeting and banquet held at the Bax ter hotel, Coquille, Tuesday night in the fact that it was the first dry ban quet held in the history of the asso ciation. This does not mean that the attorneys have all turned prohibition ists but in keeping with the will of the people who voted the state dry at the fall election, the expounders of the law have decided to live in ac cordance with that wish. Another factor that may have had something to do with it is that Co quille is a dry town and there was nothing in the wet line to be had. The banquet was well attended, there being about 40 members pres ent, including Judge Coke, as well as a few invited guests,some of the of ficials of Coos county and a few newpaper men. All of the Bandon attorneys except F. J. Feeney were present and report a fine time. The association will meet in Ban don next year and the following of ficern were elected: N. C. AIcLeod, North Bend, president; AV. C. Chase, Coquille, vice pres.; J. J. Stanley, Co quille, secretary; C. A. Lehlbude, Marshfield, treas.; and S. D. Pulford -of Alyrtle Point and G. T.
