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.

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. What will you do

F ATI Ilill'S DAY
In Japan they observe n boy's day
by hanging out carp flags and giving
the little fellows plenty of toy soldiers
also a Girl's Day when each little miss
is presented with n Japanese doll. 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.
