After the first pictures an unusual ly line role representing the return of a young English gentleman to hit mot lu r, sweetheart, and fortune while triumphing over base intrigue; the school pari of the program was start ed by (he sunbonnet babies and over hall hoys in an unique and picturesque drill. The trials of mother goose was rci. plendent in the pretty and quaint cos tumes of those characters in the foR stories that have charmed the childrci of each generation back to the infancy of the race. A1J parts were well ren dered. The child's caprice.' a dainty drill bj a heavy of sweet little Kills, courtc: ing in filmy while dresses, was verj pleasing, despite the fact thai the drill wa i not too well learned. The scare crow's drill wuf. well ex ecuted by Harold Whitsett, Jesse Tucker, Henry .Meyer, Austin Clin ton and Walter Gibson, witli music by Eva Webb. This was the principal at traction for the small boys, though iiomo of the big Sues' secnod to be well enteitained by it. Max Pollock gave a finc character ization of a fussy old man in the dram tized liflh grade reading lesson "Hung ing a Picture". In this he ws ably supported by Florence Johnson, Carol Garfield Fred Woinhtut.

Mnblo Newman Ver mnl Lauh, Mel ford Wosik-dcr and Irr Tucker gave an entertaining diulogm "The He.,t Plnn" in which they cam to the conclusion that things r.o best a tlu'-y are despite lessons hard to learn. The duet "Sympathy" by Ila John son and .loo Gibson waB worthy ol special mention and praise. They boll have very beautiful voices and in ad dition acted thejr parts very capably. II is dilllciilt to decide who acted their parts bust in 'How Jlmmie saved hi i father" Maud Young, as the rath (i assertive Mrs. Docker or LcRoy Parker as the subdued and apprehen sive Mr. llecker.

Just what will be the outcome of the sale, as to starting up the plant later on is not known at this time but it is possible that some adjustment will be made and the plant which is a good one and capable of doing a largu amount of work, will be started into operation in the not far distant fu ture. RIG REUNION OF MARINES ON OLD RATTLESIIIP OREGON When the old battle ship Oregon goes through the Panama canal it will bo one of the greatest events of the kind in history in more ways than one but the men who will get the greatest amount of pleasure out of it are the 103Or ove'i inu'i'tTiesAvho manited iter during the Spanish-American war as all of these men who are not totally disabled will be allowed to rc-onlist for the triii. The enlistment must be for four years but there is an under standing that any of them may get a release or discharge at any place or port the boat may be, provided they waive all claims for transportation home. The boys are planing to make this a big re-union and it will certain ly be a grand one as the boys have not been together for sevenloen years and anyone can imagine about what will happen when they are united again in their former capacity. Charles D. Felter of this city was a member of the Oregon crew that went around Cape Horn during the war and joined the Sampson and Schley fleet at Sandiago, and Mr.. Felter is prepar ing to leave on the Elizabeth to meet the Oregon in San Francisco, where the warship remains until Februry 1st, proceeding from there to San Di ego wren- ij. will stay until Februnry 10th. Mr. Felter received the following telegram Friday from Victor Rlue of the navy department at Washington, D. C. Charles I). Felter. Randon, Oregon. Commanding officer of Oregon is authorized to re-enlist on board men who served on the Oregon April to Ju ly 5th, 18118. Average anil physical disabilities will be waived where not a menace- to tho health of others. Un der the law enlistment must be for four years: if discharged prior to that time must waive transportation. Oregon will be nt San Francisco, January 20th to February 1st; in San Diego February. "lid to 10th. Mr. Felter is anticipating a glorious reunion with his old comrades and will probably remain with them for somo time. TO START WORK ON THE RAILROAD TO EUREKA BOX SCUM SOU) MONDAY According to an npparontly well authenticated report received h6re the Southern Pacific is making plans to start active construction on the bal iiiico of the count line from Coos Ray to Eureka thin spring. The olllclal iinnotinceniitnt lias not boon niado but for noun- time junior linn it that It would be forthcoming in tlin niwi- future.

They nresaid to bo preparing to start this work, if the plan for the extension goes through, about April first. The Southern Pacific has several surveys of the coast route betweeen Cos Ray and Eureka, the last one be ing made less than two years ago. Just what route was finally determin ed iion by Chief Engineer Hood was never made public. It was generally believed that when the balance of the coast line was built the local line from here to Myrtle Point and the Smith-Powers line south from Myrtle Point would be used as links in it. They would make about fifty miles of the road complet ed and theroute is .said to eliminate some expensive work that would be nccesary if they hugged the shoreline south from Coos Ray. The understanding was when the contract was let for the Coos Ray Eugene line that a contract would to be let for extending the road as far south as Randon so that tho Randon extension would be completed nbout the same time as the Coos Ray- Eugene road is. Nothinir has been heard of this recently. Coos Bay Times. J. T. Conloguo o( Conlogue's Camp was in the city on business Friday. VACATION HUNTERS MEET THE WARDENS Bar View Sportsmen Taken For Despen te Chaaacters, And Closely Guarded. j '. .Van isio.rtwick net M. b. Kon- ison of Ray View, Ore., wore in the city Friday and were incidental cal lers at the Recorder office. Those gen tlemen arc two of those who wero ar rested in CurryCounty with Georgo Fisher at the lattcr's cabin, near Pis tol River a short time ago, and they have different stories to tell of the in cident than the one which has been made public heretofore. Messrs Van Northwick and Robison, who arc prominent business of Rny View had gone hunting, into the wilds of Curry County for somo recreation. They had gone up and down the Ill inois River and finally had got to Pis tol River where they ran across Fish er, who told them that he knew of a convenient cabin near his place which they could live in while hunting in that part of the country and so they joined rfoces with him and accom panied him home. Incidentally they had killed two deer and wore carrying them. It was the closed season for deer but where the animals are used for home consumption and not for mar keting purposes such lapses are not frowned on very heavily in Curry County. As they approached the Fisher Cabin they were startled when twogamo wardens and five deputies, sprang out from behind various ambuscades, with leveled rifles and with the ringing tones of the dime novel, ordered them to throw up their hands. After the capture had been affected Robison wit 8 hand-cuffed to Fisher and a long ropo wns tied on Van Nort wick's arm, that they might not get away. The excitement under which tho wardens were laboring, probably accounts for their strenuous measures in making sure of their cuptives. VanNortwick and Robison were nat urally alarmed at the- turn their ad ventures had taken and the publicity which attended it and fearing tho mat tor may reach their home papers, nat urally want their story of the inci dent made known. They say that Fisher, instead of hav ing 100 pelts in his possession had forty and many of them wero three or four years old. Seven of them wore legally tagged. The Hay View gentlemen are very much cliugrinitil over thu publicity given their outing but uy thwy will return to thu wild of Curry county Minim ciuigurii, bear mid nthur wild gaum Abound In lliilih Ihelr vmvtlon. wi I Inn. MAKE A BIG GOLD STRIKE AT HEAD Of LOBSTER CREEK Two Men Spend Two Months in the Wilds of the Placer Country and Emerge With Nearly $3,000 in Gold Dust. They Find a Nugget Valued at $93.00 J. R. Smith and son, Owen W. Smith arrived in Randon last night from the head of Lobster Creek in the exit erne southern end of Coos County, telling of one of the biggest gold strikes ever found in this or any other country, and their story was no hot air cither for they had tho goods with them to back up their claims. The Smiths went into that section of the country bytrail. along the lat ter part of November and enme out this week with nearly JU.OOO in gold They have one nugget valued at over $90 and many others of smaller values besides a big buckskin bag of smaller gold. All this and nearly as much moro, which was sold or traded foi provisions and supplies, has. been tak en out since about December 1st un der tho greatest of difficulties at it wns necessary for them to split their boxes etc. out of cedar, and at thoy had 365 feet of this, one can im agine something about thu time that it took them to do it. The Smitlu wore ulso handicapped in theirinining work by the deep snow on the top of the mountains. Thoir mine is at the head of Lobster Creek about a mile and a half from the Curry County line and is said to be the highest point ir that section of tho country, hnving ar. elevation of about 4,000 feet. The snow at ono time in December, Mr Smith says, was nine feet deep. Mr. Smith says he has been mininc. 44 years and has never seen anything to compare with this mine in richness They have taken out eleven pounds ol gold valued at about $250 a pound making between $2,500 and $3,000 ii tho short timo they wore there ant with tho crewdest kind of materia with which to work. Mr. Smith expects to remain in Rai don a couple of days and will then gc to Marshtield from which place thej will take a boat for San Francisco te. sccuro pipe, hose and other necessarj material to promote their wprk una will return to the mine again in about six weeks to begin work in earnest. During tho winter they have secur ed their supplies from Aguess but from now on thoy expect to get sup plies from Illahee which is about sev en miles from their camp. Mr. Smith and his son have control of about 440 acres on one creek alio 120 on another, and they nay it is fai ahead of any black sand proposition, being tho richest of placer ground high bars, quick beds and lead depos its, so that thore is an unlimited quan tity of therichest kind of pay dirt and tho largo nugots which thoy displayed at the Hotel Gallier this morning would her out their assertions. With such a strike us this in Coos county, if it holds out as Mr. Smith says it will, will make this region one of tho Golden El Dorados of the world. Mrs. C. M. Spencer returned on the Elizabeth from un extended visit witli friends in Sun Francisco. z G. E. Trott and family arrived on the Elizabeth from San Francisco with their household goods and will make Randon their future home.

Coquille gave Bandon a terrible drubbing at basketbnll Saturday eve ning the final score being 81 tol!l. . The strange floor mil the small a rena are given as two of tho principal reasons for the bad defeat and those who saw the game say that Randon can turn tho trick on the home floor as they showed batter team work and superior knowledge of the game. A oout ono hundred people went up from Randon expecting to return the same night, but the boat ran into a fog just this side of Riverton and was compell ed to tie up for the night, reaching the dock hero about eight o'clock Sun Jay, morning. 50NS OF VETERANS INSTALL OFFICERS.
