AN ANNUAL KLAKAHMA Cities of the present progressive age, both large and small are adopting some distinctive feature which ex tended, expanded and enlarged upon becomes an annual event of conse quence. Portland has a Rosj Festival, Salem her Cherry Fair, Pendclton he: Round Up, Florence the Rhododendron Carnival, Seattle an annual Pollatch etc. These features are not given a lono for each town's people, but large ly with a view to drawing upon the ad jacent territory and other towns foi patronage. Bandon is situated in a place and climate suitable for a sum mer resort, and our annual event should bo staged at the season most convenient to the beach visitors, cam pers, and the traveling public genoral- Hero's to the Klakahma a mtd-sum-mcr attraction at Bandon, larger and better in the number of performers and in the attendance of each succeed ing year a monument to Princess Mary and her impersonator who origi nated the idea. K HHP WORKING The Ilnndon Commercial club, al ter it re-organization in March has reconstructed the beach walk and ar ranglcd for financing the same. So far, so good, but that is not enough. A live and active commercial club in a community usually has more thai ono string to its bow. "The newspapers in Oregon ar" urged to advise people there are K jobs for men on the government rail road in Alaska." The Recorder wonders why thin particular piece of advice is directed particularly to Oregon nlone. NOBODY SLIGHTED Speaker Champ Clark invited all of Missouri to the wedding of his daugh iir which occurred June HOth and that included about three and a liali million people. To the little town v. . Rowling Green it seemed for a time that they had all Liken him at his word, and were on their way. A few Missourians of our acquaintance in Coos county are regretting thei' inability to attend. ADMITTED HY DEFAULT At the time of the City election the Recorder called attention to issues hn fore the people. Our co-tcmpornr by answer sought to divert attention from those matters to affairs of an other period. For reply the Recorder again called attention to the present, those matters in which the reading public is concerned, and chalelngcd a denial. The rejoinder to our reply is a complete evasion of the challenge indulging largely in personalities. Our challenge being iiudenicd, must per force bo admitted true. As to per sonality, we will not indulge in that through tho columns of the Recorder, the public are not interested in it, and so far as tho Recorder is concern ed, it has carried its point, and will re gard the incident closed. TUB COST OF SBB1NG TUB FAIR With a little care, Oregonians coin ing to the exposition will find it possi ble to stay her at no excessive cost. Down in tho city good rooms at av erage hotels can be had at $1.00 to $2.50 per night and rooms in board ing houses and rooming homes can bo had at and $10 per week. Restau rant prices are not beyond the UHiial and at cafeterias good food can be had at very reasonable prices.

Breakfast served at 75 cts straight, other meals, i. la carte. Patrons here must pay the fifty cents daily admission to the grounds, but unlike others who attend jave and enter as they chose.

From there to tho ex position, the D car is most popular. It is direct and lands one at tho main or Scott street entrance. At tho Oregon building every possible information is available about the grounds at the central booth and special effort ia made to render Orcgoninns every needed service as woll as to make the visit of every one to the building as pleasant as possible. Register at the Oregon building's central booth on a first visit and ask such question as you may desire, also secure booklet detailing the facts about Oregon's ex hibits in this building and in the main palaces. Special correspondence. It appears that after weary watch ful waiting, the persistent rumors in this section of the abundance of mon ey in the Bast may materhlizo into something more substantial than fre quently recurring echos. A r.umbor of Bastorn busmen men, not satis fied with the Bastorn opportunil'.e.'., md drawn by the lure of the west have found their way into r -mote Coos and Curry counties. Oklahoma. Michigan and New York arc repte sented by the new arrivals. HONOR FOR STANDARD OIL Resides awarding gold medals to tb Standard Oil Company (California on practically all of its products, tho jury of awards, Panama-Pacific Interna tional Exposition, lias awarded a me dal of honor to the oil company on "its work and policies", and a special nic Jul of recognition of the Standard'' Conservation work in the California oil fields, it was officially announced at tho Standard Oil Ruilding yester day. Commenting on the "work and poli cics" award. K. R. Kingsbury, vice president of tho company said: "That award applies specifically to tho man tier in which our company has dealt with its employees, its customers am tho public, and for the methods it hai developed in producing, transporting refining and selling petroleum.' "Another award in which wo feel a deep sense of gratification, is .the gold medal for our conservation me thods in the oil fields. This company has always bent every effort toward eliminating waste in the production of petroleum and has initiated and placed in operation many devices anil methods tending toward conservation nd efficient operation of oil wcll." And while tho weather roants the people of tho East and by that wc mean everything cast of tho Coast range of mountains, tho coast as tar as we can seo from Randon for sev eral days has been shaded by fleecy, feathery, drifting clouds and the prevailing wind is a scarcely poreep tiblo southern zephyr. CONSIDER THE POWDER PUFF Verily the days of our most sacred institutions are numbered. All flesh is as grass, with the lawn mower com ing over the hill. The latest cry is "Down with the powder puff!" Think of it, girls! You whoso shiny nosos, under the protection of the powder puff, have been turned up in derision at wind and sun. You who have made surreptitious journeys under the auto mobile lap-robe or the overhanging table-cloth to the place of mystery where reposed tho little first-aid to beauty, You who cling with a drown ing grip to the little wad of down and powder with which you daintily cover your freckles and deny Time's deter mined efforts.

Here in America we have a mothers' day. Cartoonists draw sentimental cartoons about her; the preacher makes some mention' of home without a mother, and the tired business man, if ho thinks of it, brings home a dollar's worth of cut flowers. Without wish ing unnecessarily to add to our list of holidays, wo suggest a Father's day. with a program somewhat o sfollows: Dad will be allowed to lie a bed until 10 o'clock, reading the sporting sheet and smoking cigarettes, after which time a "mawnin's" followed by buck wheats and steak will be served. The phonograph will then play "What's the Matter With Father" and "Hero Comes My Daddy Now," while the daughter of the house will recite "Father, dear Father." This ceremony concluded, presents will bo bestowed on father, in the following order: Ten boxes 25 cent cigars, case of club soda, WASHINGTON NBWS LETTER . That President Wilson has no inten tion of going outside of his present official family to find a successor for William Jennings Bryan as secretary of state seems to be the general im pression here. The principal reason is said to bo the desire of the president to got a man already in touch with the administration and the various in ternational problems facing it. Robert Lansing, secretary of state, ad interim, is known to havs the sup port of several cabinet members and it is believed to be almost certain that he will receive the appointment. Al though not resembling Abraham Lin coln in personal appearance to even n remote degree, he has much of the personality of the emancipator, lie has tho war president's ability always to keep his temper, to speak his mind instantly in plain simple language and n correct English, to with hold infor mation without being troubled or em barasscd and to maintain a serene, judicious mind whilo around is hurry ing and shouting and the whole world seems about to plunge into ruin. State department officials do no., expect a reply from Germany to tho president's recent note on Germany's submarine warfare until about July 10th. This expectation is based not on any official estimate from Berlin, hue on reports that deal with the engage ments of the kaiser when it is under stood, desires personally to indicate what the reply shall contain. The war department has complet ed estimates of the cost of tho first year of American intervention in Mexico in tho event that President Wilson, in order to restore order to the south of tho Rio Grande, sends an army into that country. Tho esti mates are for one year and are based for an army of 500,000 men. The es timated cost of the intervention for one year is said to lie fully ?800,000,- 000. To persons hero who have been most closely watching tho Mexican situation and who have first hand in formation relative to leaders there the, brightest spot appears to bo the apparent disintegration of the two factions headed by Carranza and Villa A movement backed by a group of men now exiled from Mexico, and on whom the president believed lie could depend when, in his last Mexican pro nouncement, lie threatened to get be hind a man or group of men to re store order, is expected ultimately to reestablish peace. The story that an American citi zen recently offered President Wilson a $1,200,000 campaign contribution as the price of his permission - for tho sale of the .'1.15,000 Krag-Jorgcnsen rides which the war department re fuses to part with during the period of the European war, created a stir in Washington generally although there arc a few officials hero to whom the entire affair hns for some timo been known. The white house declined to make any comment on this attempt to have the government sell to the na tions of Europe these discardud wea pons. Tho prosidont expects to go to Co'- nisli, N. II. for tho hoatud months of summer. ODD lUTSOI'NUWS DjimvIIIo, K Y. Williuii) II. Ili. m rhteksn fnlnr, Umm n pair of IwIh acirs in wlilu l.diuw's hs1 tvMiitly.
