PUOPOSF.I) CHURCH UNITY It is a singular thing thnt the great Methodist Episcopal church should bo the last body to make a formal move for a closing up of the breach wh.ch was caused by the secession move ment which precipitated the civil war. The two organizations nrc now known as the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church, south. Each organization has its own board of bishops, general church- 'nsti tulions, and holds its own go- val conference. Upon all matters of doctrine and eclesinstic.il policy there is porfe'; u. i;iccmcnt. The northern church has its own work in southern field? "ait this has never caused friction so far as wo know. From time to time a voice has been raised in behalf of uniting of the two branches of American Methc.isni. The Methodist board of bishops took Ur inal action for the- purpose of accom plishing what is bound to bo a ('teat event in church history. Bishop Ci.ms Cranston declares that American Methodism could never be the povon tiality for world wide peace which it ought to lie until it lias demonstra ted to the world its Christian capacity to forget a strife supposedly healed for fifty years. The Methodist Protestant and the United Brethren churches have united and the Congregationalist church is contemplating entering this union. Since minor differences of creed no longer appeal strongly to religious conviction, churches should unite for economic administration and more ef ficient organization. In Bandon wc have the following churches: Presby terian, M. IS., M. K. south, seventh Day Adventist, First Day Adventist, Episcopalian, Catholic, Latter Day Saints, Baptist, and Christian Science Bandon has as earnest and capable ministers in charge of its churches as can bo found in any church organiza tion; still we fear the church's posi tion in Bandon is not as strong as it should be. Probaby the dispersion oi energy among so many agents act ing with so little co-operation is the main contributing cause. There is no vital difference among many of the churches here that would prevent thorn uniting and presenting a compact, well financed, economically run church. There is n lot of wr.ate that could be stopped. We would like to see a church trust or several of them nnu for all evangelical church, es and as many others as it would take to unite for administrational purposes such other churches as u similarity of doctrine would allow. A letter received by the Marslifleld Moose lodge from the president of the Panama-Pacific exposition states that the Coos Bay concert band and t.'io Coos county order of Moose will lead the entire Moose parade in San Francisco on the big day in July when 70,000 members are expected to march in parade. A. W. Stevens of Hnynes Inlet re ports the delivery by the stork route of triplets to u cow owned by him. Stevens lias forwarded a picture o! the patriotic bossy and calves to Ted dy at Oyster Bay. North Bend's council has author ized improvements in road paving and hard surfacing for the coming sum mer to the amount of $20,000. The completion of the bulkhead on the south side of the river now ..n lluus llio water to the proper channel. Alrondy its results are apparent for good.

Vrtiv Clarence Edmunds writes . ..." Home at Pendleton and of His Trip , From Bandon to That Point To the llandon Recorder, ...D-" -r! oifsta'S but the morning we left Bandon was as beautiful as any one could ask for and this beautiful weather continued all through the trip. The Coquille river made a picture well worth our while to carry with us and the City of Co quille, itself, seemed at its best. Wo had left Bandon with the im pression of great depression in the country but the greater distance we went from it the less we felt it and the more w'c felt that other places were not suffering so badly or else a turn for the better was already mak ing itself felt. It is a difficult thing or at least 1 .hould imagine it to be almost nest o an impossibility to tell any strang er who might chance in the vicinity of Coquille and its surroundings that ini-d times had existed there. Such BLUIUIJ v""" -.inches bespeak only wealth and pros perity as we saw all the way lrom Coquille to Laird's ranch. This trip was made very comfH .;hly by a new eight cylinder Cadillac nd the natural scenery was a pleas ing accompaniment to the beautiful farms, with farm houses and h.u-w, ornnme'nts to any land. . Evidently all things were to work to one end and that was to cause us to .-.vry with us pleasant memnripp. ...en our last meal in Coos Com- -could not have been more delicious. From Laird's we travelled through that beautiful canyon of the Coast ange, which finally introduced us to the grand Umpqun valley beyond. Th M mile ride was interesting between (he foot of the mountain and Roso I urg. A good acceptable bed was Hie greatest luxury to be found tliat night for we were weary travelers. The next day gave promising orch ards upon orchards of yoiinr- ruit lreos with here and there hb of .keep as we neared the oh'or ordmrt .wintry. Our train was tho dai'y lo :il so gave us ample time to f-ec all hat lay before us. Portlc.-il, of ourso was most pleasing for we have .ilways had a warm admiration for this city. Its trees made it a very airy land with its fine summer weutb r. The trip to the Dalles l-y tiw teamer Gataert was good enough to invite any Eastern friends or sight tiers to attend and mnuy on board ,-ero there for the trip alone. At the !ocks a photographer took pictures of the steamer and in an hour and a hall and tho same mounted and ready for ale. It seemed as if there was no end to ,he size of this monster river and still t plowed on and on. The state of Washington was prcr iy all the way, keeping pace with the Oregon side. For strawberries were .ipe on both sides and we carried with is many berry pickers bound for both -.bores. A night train from the Dalles ai ried us to Pendleton where we felt unit" at home. A fc.v walks nbowt town and we discovered that not only many residences had been built in the last three and a half year.! but l....i.1....ilu nP Iwntuf.e C.miii -tmmi.r ,i.,i, iww,i ,,.,,1 ,'' lw.,it'l ,, Mm insane, which latter place is oxceedH ingly extensive. Two no-. bridges, paved streets and cement walks all go to tell of the prosperity which East ern Oregon at this point has foil thin past year with the proniis-2 of t'o finest of wheat crops. The Pendleton Woolen mills are Mil maintaining their past efficiency as manufacturers of tho best good in the United States. The hand of one department of the, large store here told mo that for a year past each month had shown an increase on the year proceeding in tho taking in of cash. Business is fine generally. Only two poor families were reported during tho winter months. But the most marked thing about these people here is they got vory busy and kept busy making huu- i nous come their way. A new water I system is also added to their credi: I during the pant three years. Win n i we left hero the Pendleton hotel had : not been enlarged and remodeled. Now I it ia tlie fluent liotid in Knutiirn Oi-h gon mid the streets were a disgraco. T)l0 Coo(i I!ay ,, w ,lor(iy . The Uidio. Improvement dub elw.ned!,U(in j, ,!jimmBj0n timber.

Gossip and Sensation Condensed and Abbreviatcd- L. A. Liljcqvist has returned to his duties us prosecuting attorney of Coos county after a trip to tho fair at San Francisco. He advises people to wait n month longer before going, though now, he states, it is a great fair. While fording tho river at Powers recently, Mr. Atkins had to jump oil' his horse on account of its stumbling and the swift current washed him un der tho horse. Botli reached shore safely. John Assen hopes the recent rain? will enable him to float some logs out of tho Middle Creek.

They even stole the clothing and other personal effects of the crew and passengers. Tho good book says something to the effect that wheresoever the carrion is there will1 the eagles be gathered together. Bua zards waiting for a creature to die be fore commencing their gorging makco wc half so despicable a spectacle as men made in the image of their crea tor who rob shipwrecked men and women of their personal effects. Captain Curtis, surveyor for Uie port of marine underwriters and Cap Bnnson of the Claremont will pros ecute the spoilers unless restitution is made of the stolen property. .1. Leo Brown of Marnfield has re cently been appointed as a member of ihe state board of pharmacy by Gov ernor Witheeomb. Mr. Brown has served since 1011. Frank Gilbert, after an unsuccess ful attempt to effect a reconcilliation with his wife who was sewing at the homo of Fred Moore in Bay City, shot !ier through the shoulder and then committed suicide. Mrs. Gilbert is being cared for by Dr. Horsfall at the home of.I. P. Malcncy. Slu ,vn Blanche Thurston before marriage. F. M. Sackett of Stevens Point, Wis. Iind a garden and his neighbor, H. K. West has a flock of chickens. Sackett complained that the chickens were r pest in his garden and West denied it saying t'ant his chickens did not wan Jer. Sakett thereupon scattered some grains of corn in his garden to onch of which was attached a small placard at the end of a string. They bore such .legends as those: "I have just been scratching in Sackott's yard." 'My owner does not feed mo enough and I have to visit the neighbors." When West saw those cards dangling froci the bills of his hens he admitted Saci;ett's proof was convincing. Th-' dangerous condition of the Coos M:,y 1".U'. wn8.nK lemonstrated in the mishap that befel the gasoline launch Standard, trying to rescue a drum of oil. She had her rudder torn off and projji Her broken and probably would have ben another oc cupant of that maritime graveyard but for the timely assistance of the gasoline schooner Tramp which got a line n hoard the Standard and towed her to shore in safety. A pair to draw to is Vilas Burgess u.:d Vornon Prow, two baby boys who tied for first place in the baby contest held recontly, in North Bend. Fach secured !)7. points. This necositated the pur chase of an additional loving cup for a grand prize. The real benefit lies not in the priawinning but each baby en tered was examined by competent judges nnd a score card made out by the examining physicians and furnish ed to the parents so they may know the strong and the weak points in their children and b governed ac 'ordinifly for tho child's welfare. I graduate on tho 8th of June from the home economics department of Ore gon Agricultural college where she has just finished .a four year's course.

Macaroni is going up on the stiength of Ita ly's joining in the war r.cross the Atlantic. The Port of Coos Bay has under consideration the blasting out of the ledge of sandstone that extends across the bar. In places there is .scarcely 15 feet of water on the bar and it is a continual menace to navi gation. The Pot Office department has es tablished a new post office on the north slough of Coos Bay, called Hauser. B. A. Seaborg of Partland has leas ed tho -IS ft gasoline schooner, fijoa .f Seattle. The craft has a capacity of 20 tons and a !!2 horse power en gine It will be put on a run between 'lie Itog-c river and Coos bay in sliip ning fish to Portland. The Wedderburn Trailing company vecontly shipped 500 cases of salmon, caught in the Hogue river. A fire occurred in the C. A. Smith naper pulp mill Saturday in which the chip house was entirely destroyed. The loss is about $12,000 and is cover- (1 by insurance. It is reported from Washington that tho government will purchase n lavge sea going launch which will pa trol out of San Francis-'co south lo San Diego and north past Coos Bay to Portland for the purpose of en forcing the navigation biWh. Iioseburg voles June ilrd on i-ie proposition to issue $:S00,00() of bonds lo assist in constructing the Kendall railroad to the Cascade forest reserve. The Portland Cement company is being reorganized and it is expected to resume the manufacture of cement. The plant is at Oswego, near Portland land and the limestone on Roberta crceV a few miles below Iioseburg. A spur track started some time ago from Koseburg to the quarry will be completed. The cement to be nunu factured is known as the Rose brand. Tho quarry rock is among the best for cement manufacture. Important By products will be a large amount of lime fertilizer which all Oregon lainli need. In addition there wil lie a large amount of rock, suitable for road building. OLD FAVORITES.
