Unlreraitjr Glee Club to Visit Bandon
In (he Near Future
What promises to be the stellar at
traction in the realm of music to be
presented here his winter is the con
cert to be given' "by the quartette of
the University Glee Club of the state
university, sometime during the mid
dle of April.,. During the spring vaca
tion of every yek'r the quartette makes
a tour of .some art of the state and
it is largely thVough the activity of
Harold Quigley, commercial, instruc
tor of the high school that the warb
lers have been booked for Coos county
this year.
Messrs Albert Gillette, Hcidenreich,
Paul Sprguc and Prof. Ralph Lyman
mako up the four who have been given
unusual receptions all over the state
during the fall and winter. Portland
papers speak of them as being the
best quartette ever turned out at the
university which is saying consider
able. The performance here will con
sist of solos, bluets, trios and a num
ber of selections by the entire quar
tette, making up a full evening's entertainment.
First Meeting in the Orpheuni
When Thomas A. Edison Ktood
looking on at the recent destruction
by flro of his groat laboratory and
factory at Orange, New Jersey, his
first tfcought was that another ex
periment had proven unsuccessful.
Thaconcrete wall3 were not fire proof
as he had supposed and he had now
the task of devising something lietlei
that would withstanil any amount of
fire, that could be applied to it.
In this manner Rev. C. Mayne
Knight introduced his talk at the Or
pheuni theater Sunday evening. Quiti
a few brave souls dared the inclement
weather and there was a fair turnout
at tho meeting. Using Edison as an
Illustration ho compared his philoso
phy to tho manner in which church
people should look at tho mat
ter when the structure they arc rear
ing comes tumbling about their ears
Tho experiment is costly, he said, in
time, work and money, and discourag
ing in failure but each collapse wil.
teach how to build the new stronger
Edison, though he applies electri
city in many different ways still does
not know what this power producinp
and wonder working force is. Church
people though they apply Christianitj
in many effective ways, and know
that it is a power, yet are fallible and
and fall into many blunders when it
comes to describing just vfhat this
force is and to formulate rules for its
application. The attendance was
encouraging for the first meeting
down town and its seems likely that
other meetings with other speaker
will bo held similarly during the com
ing summer.

YOU START

We all start out in life
from tlic Zero mark. It is
uphill all the way. The
higher we go the more we
are looked up to. The man
who attains success must
take himself seriously, look
to his own interests anil con
serve his strength, wealth
and ability. Many people
ate depositing their money
with this hank, paying by
clerk, and furthering their
own interests, thereby rais
ing their marks high above
ro on tlie gauge of life.
HOW YOU CAN
HELP THE LIBRARY
Have You Books You Can
Spare? Many are Donating
and More are. Needed
What can you do to assist in mak
ing the Bandon public library more
capable of carrying on the education
al and recreational work that it has
undertaken, and is carrying on as
well as the faculties will permit.
According to Miss Amelia A. Hen
ry, librarian, the greatest need of the
institution at this time is new books
and good books. Books on any sub
ject or all subjects; education, music,
art, politics, economics, poetry an,l
other forms of literature. Novels are
scarce and the demand for them is
increasing, that is, good clean stories
that can be read with a feeling that
the time consumed has not been wast
ed But where all these books are
coming from is the question and a
(icstion that grows as each day passes.
It will be some years before the re
turns of the library tax will be suffi
cient to care for the purchase of new
jooks aftor the running cxpense3 of
Jie library have been paid and in the
.nean while the demand for tho books
vill bo constantly increasing.
What appears to be the most feas
.ble plnn to secure more books is to re
luest the support of the citizens of
.he city in the matter of donations ol
.ooks, pamphlets and whntever othei
iterature they can spare. Here h
night be opportune to suggest that ii
you have nothing of thin kind that n
ittlc spare change will buy a good
.ook and tho money could not be bet
ter invested.
During the past year several local
people have presented the library
.vith quite valuable works.and there
.s a feeling that many others would
oe glad to help out if the matter were
jrought to their attention. Among
whoso who have made gifts are Prof
essor A. Richards, a music library,
.onsisting of twenty-five volumes; La
lies' Book Club, 27 volumes of fiction;
?. N. Perkins, a sixteen volume edi
tion of Mulbach; C. Rasniussen, six
teen volume set of Short Stories; and
Mrs. Gale and Mrs. Stoltz have been
cry generous with their support.
Die un some of those old books
which you have stored away and let
them be of some use. Nice new works
are also very acceptable.
They Danced at Itiverton
A party of twentyfive of the young
people of Bandon chartered the
launch Sunset and journeyed to River
ton Saturday night to take in n dance

themselves hughly, getting back to
Bandon at about thrco in the morning
Not tho least noteworthy part of the
trip was tho ride. The Sunset wai
loaded to her gunwales, some even be
ing perched on her pilot house nnd the
trip hnd its thrills, especially when
rounding curves in the course of the
river.

With his miners still openly hostile.
Wilkerson realizes that he must get
Dore out of the way, if only tempo
rary. In as much as Dorc has saved
Wilkerson's life, thus preventing him
from openly assaulting him, the sche
ming executor of Ruth Gallon's will
plans to indce Dore to go to San Fran
cisco. Accordingly he alters tho
books of "Tho Master Key" mine to
make it appear that nless more capi
tal is secured at once the mine will go
into bankruptcy.
Wilkerson suggests that Dore leave
at once, but Ruth's protector scents
another conspiracy, and arranges that
Ruth, instead of himself, shall make
the trip to secure more capitals Wilkcr
son, who plans to oust both Rth, tho
rightful heir to "The Master Key"
mine, and Dore, accepts Dore's coun
ter proposition with bad grace. Mak
ing the most opportunity to rid him
self of one of the obstacles to the suc
cess of his schemes, however, Wilker
son consents to Ruth's visiting San
Francisco in Dore's place.
Upon Ruth's departure Wilkerson
wires Mrs. Darnell, an old ilaino, to
introduce Ruth to a Frisco confidence
man, Charles Drake, as the Mr. Eve
rett with whom she is to makear
nngements for securing further
capital for the financing of the mine.
Drake is instructed to gain control
of the deeds which Rth takes to San
Francisco witli her.
Ruth all unsuspecting of the net
into which she is being drawn, is
introduced to Drake, arl instrusts
him with the sending of a telegram
to Dore telling the young mine super
intendent of her safe arrival in San
Francisco. Drake sends the telegram
after making himself acquainted with
its contents. Dore, back at his mine,
receives Ruth's telegram at the same
time he is linadcd another puzzling
wire from the real Mr. Evercett,
which reads: "Miss Gallon has not ar
rived; what is the trouble?" Upon
comparing Ruth's telegram, which as
sures him that she has "met Mr. Ev
erett at the depot", Dore instantly
realizes that something is amiss, and
decides to leave for San Francisco at
once to straighten out the matter.
Hearing of Dore's plan to leave,
Wilkerson determines to prevent his
departure at all costs. For several
hours he considers several plans and
finally decides on one which he hopes
will rid him for all time of the young
mining engineer.
During the nigth he withdraws a
pin from the brake on the rear wheel
of the motor truck Dorc will use next
day in making the journey from tho
mine to the railroad station. A half
hour before Dore leaves, Wilkerson
rides ahead and fires a bridge at the
foot of a steep decline down which
Dore's truck must come. The bridge
is hidden by a bend in the road, and
the driver of Dore's truck fails to see
the steadily mounting flames until ho
is half way down the steep side of tho
hill.
He at once applies the brake to the
truck, but tho pin which Wilkerson
has removed prevents the break from
wworking, and the car soon attains a
terrific momentum. Bounding from
side to side of the narrow mountain
roadway, the driver of the machine
has great difficulty from preventing
the truck from leaping the trail.
Realizing that death awaits him
when the truck strikes the blazing!
timbers of the bridge the driver
jumps for his life into a ditch along
side the road. Dorc anticipating the
driver's desertion, springs to tho
steering wheel of the truck just in
time to keep from' overturning. Ho
applies tho brakes frantically in an
attempt to control the runaway car,
but with no success.
With tho flames of tho bridge al
ready beating in his face, Dore jumps
at the Inst moment from the car, rolls
down tho hillside, and hangs imcon
sciousover tho edge of the canyon, in
to which the massive 'motor car
plunges through tho rotting timbers
of the blazing plunk bridge.
The heart from the burning struct
ure nnd the crackling of flumes in
nearby bushes and mountain grass
brings him to a statu of semi-con
sciousness nnd a realization of his
danger. Painfully crawling away
from tho canyon's edge to a bare rock
wlieru the flames cannot reach him, lie
again falls unconscious from his in
reoched the station and catches the
local for San Francisco, believing that
Dore has been plunged into the
depths of tho canyon.
At tho Grand Next Thursday night.
