Ban don Shows Increase of Twenty Four Since Last Year Six hundred and two is tho number of pupils enrolled in the first day nt tendanc in the public schools of Ban don. As compared to this Marshfield ,-eports Six hundred twenty five and North Hend four hundred fifty seven. While tho figures at Marshfield shn.v a loss of twenty two, Bandon shows a gain of twenty four in the same inter val. In the Bandon high school there was a loss of 15 over last year's figuics hut there was a surprising increase in the lower grades which more than made.up for the loss in the high school. In fact it early became ap parent that extra accomodations must bo provided for the little ones and it took some engineering to see that there were accomodations for all. The increase among tho beginners is one third over what it ,was last year. Grade 1, B, numbers 75 children and grade 1, A 25; making a total of 10!) children who have started school since lust September. There are 82 pupils in the high achool; 391 in the grades in the high school building and 129 in the East side building. A total of 002 enrolIeJ. An unusually largo percentage of the teachers this year are from out of town but all arrived and were dom iciled in different part of the city be fore Sunday. Monday morning there was tho usual hurry for school bookfc b it now all are accomodated and the chool in regular running ordor. Everything starts oft" well giving promise of anothor successful school year. - Mayor Allen and son of Marshfield were visitors in Bandon Thursday. The ltter is of Spokane, Washington and icports business dull there us well as nt Cour d'Alene, Idaho, a near city. Doth of theso towns were badly over I oomcd in the days of ilieir develop ment and now must wait until their Mirroundlng country Hatches up with them. The wheat crop of Eastern Washington bus been good and a prof itable one for tho farmers, yet Spo kane lags because of over growth. Tho Coos Bay Times of raccnt dale states that the old rumor that he S. P. will build down ho const to Bandon has been revived and is so persistent as to lead many to hoiieve tho line may he built in tho near future. The time Senator Chamberlain spent in Bandon on his recent visit to Coos couty was very brief, lie was here about an bout-just before noon Friday and passed through the city Monday. Tho Graco Dollar finally got away (with tho load she took on at Florence but tho report is that sho will send a fer.iuller boat to fulfill tho remainder pt her engagements in that port. Horace Rahskopf and Kodgor Frohn pt this city and Lestle Sparke of Ban Hon started out yesterday morning on a tramp over the Coos Bay wagon road They plan to walk to Drain by way of Rosoburg and at Drain, Kahskopf and Sparks will take the train for Sa lem where they will enter Willamette university. Mr. Frohn will continue on foot to Eugene where he will take a course in physical training at the U. of 0. during tho coming year. The party was seen about twelve miles out looking ficsh and happy, but it is probablcthat they will not find walk ing so pleasant when they strike tho heat of the valloy. Coquillo Herald.

After the arrests some months ago the body of Arthur Russell wuMhsin terred and the stomach removed and taken to an expert for an examination and traces of arsenic were found.

Wrestlers Who Won Myrtle Point Contests Develop a Few Surprises. Wilson Wins on a Foul. The carnival of wreaUii'g which pre vailed nt Myrtb Point in the later duyn of last we will have an echo in Bandon Saturday night wiicn tho -nnst important of then? mutches will be played over again. This is the con test between W 1 ion and Costel'o which was awarded to Wilson on a foul last Friday night. In this match the first fall went to Costello in 21! minuti's and pressing his advantage for a second the Belgiar Tiger was disqualified by Smiling Dutch becauso he persisted m a stran gle hold. This hold is the most dan gerous one among wrestler" as it gives the victim no chance to use his voice to make known his aoknowlcdg' mcnt that he ha enough. That this match will be good goer without saying. Costello is naturally peaved at the turn of affairs and will do his best to even matters up. He it a good man, a native of Antwerp who has wrestled all over the world and speaks a half dozen languages. Hp has wrestled with the luminaries of the mat such as Gotch, Mamoul, Zn bisco and Hakenschmidt. Although in the neighborhood of forty years of age he is spry as a youth and his 230 pounds constitutes him an opponent who will make Wilson hustle. Should Wilson lose it would be no discredit ns Costello is considerably heavier. The contests at Myrtle Point brought out some queer results. Lutsey, who won from Rentrop at Port Orford, los; to Lambert Saturday night, who lost to Rentrop Wednesday night. In the contest Wednesday night Rentrop, tho Flying Dutchman, de feated Lambert the wrestling lumber jack from Powers in two straight falls the first in 17 minutes with an arm scissors and the second 5 minutes with the same kind of a hold. Thursday night . Costello threw Rentrop twice in succession, tho first time in 23 minutes with a reversed full Nelson and the second time in a min ute and a half with a set back. The champion of Europe ns usual started in to rough it and Costello made shoVt work of him when he got started. Friday night's match between Wil son and Costello resulted in n fall for Costello in 23 minutes through a body scissors and half Nelson ami the match ended as previously described. On Saturday Lambert defeated Lut sey, this being the only match to go the threo falls. The first fall wont to Ijiinliort on a toe hold, tho second to Lutsey on the same sort of a hold and the last to Iamhert. Rentrop left for Portland Saturday but before going announced that ho would return and wruutlu LtiUoy for a $500 nidi) bet if the match could be ar ranged. Iv, II.

Rufus Trucmnn has been meeting with some adventures in his visit to the city on the peninsula. On the proceed ing Saturday Rufus made the acquain tance of two smooth gontlcmen, Vin cent Jackson and Thomas Forejnan who by way of diversion proposed flipping coins for the fun of the thing. Rufus was game and was looking for a little diversion himself so the sport proceeded. Such was the luck of the Bandon young man that in a short time ho had won $300 or would have won it hud the stakes been the coin of the regular mintage. Thereupon Jackson of) e red to make it $300 more if Trucman could produce that much. Of course this would have been easy for Rufus and he started for the nearest bank. But as soon n3 lie was out of sight of tho twain True man notified the police. Ho had an on gagement fo meet his two friends that evening at 8:00 at a certain corner and when he kept tho date a plain clothes man was not far away. The two met the Bandon youth and were started for a seculudcd spot where gentlemen could have a quiet game when the detective took tho two sharpers in tow. t haadquurtcrs they were rerogni.ed as bunco men and now they have one more charge to answer for. As for Rufus, he is .itill seeing the sights, and confidence mon will do sell to give him a wide berth. Inspectors Here Again The Panter Bros, havo been rcen- statcd as pilot and engineer since August first, their original suspension f twenty months having been cut !ov.i to six. From the following in '':e Coos Bay Times it is evident that the inspectors are on the war path a stiin and promise this thing and t) nt thing that they are going to do. Coming this time not as a warn ing, but as tho storm that follows the thunder II. F. McGrath, of Portland, deputy U. S. Collector of Customs and boat inspector is holding the boatmen of tho bay rigidly to tho government laws anil levying stiff fines for viola tions. The warning came on his first visit here several months ngo at which time were levied finesamounting to approximately $1,500. Most of these were later greatly reduced on the pro mises of the boat owners to comply with the requirements. On this trip tho inspector has found tho laws aro still not being followed, though he admits the violations in most cases are not aflagraut as on his other visit. In a speed boat yesterday he was all over tho bay making his investiga tions Empire was visited so was North Bend and lie was up Coos Rivetr ;ilso. No warnings are being given, the owner of boats, he says, must either havo the proper equipment n bonrd or be fined this time. Open rail and open guard boats in the passenger trade will in all probahi- ' lity lie limited by Mr. McGrath aa to tho number of passengers they can carry. "Since the Eastland disnstcr the de partment is stricter than ever before," ho said this morning. This ho explain ed ,was tho reason that yesterday the picnic of the Catholic people wns held up while Riifllcient life preservers were placed aboard tho Rainbow for tho extra crowd and also until another boat could be secured in addition.

Scllmer who went as a special ambassador, returned Sun day night and G. T. Treadgold who in view of his official standing was en voy extraordinary and minister pleni potentiary, returned Saturday after noon. Both found their credentials sat isfactory and were treated with the greatest defference althouhg as the keys of the city were already in the hands of other distinguished guests, these were not formally presented. Both were duly impressed with the splendors of the Exposition. Mr. Treadgold stated that although he has been in tho west for a considerable time this was his fir.-t visit to Cali fornia and to San Francisco. Natur ally tho attractions of this most widely written of city on the coast overshadowed all else in his eyes. The great bay with its teeming citie3 its commerce and trade, all had attrac tions. Mr. Treadgold could not help but comment on tho fart that while some of the world groat musicians were daily to be heard in the musical hall on the ground yet tho bulk of the peo ple would pass it bj for the dog and monkey show that was on the grounds Mr. Treadgold and family who ac companied him, cane homo via tho Shasta Limited, nnking prompt con nections at Myrtle Poirt and ariving in this city with the '.anilon stage in twentyeight hours after leaving the city which i3 close to a r?cord for quick time and is about as fast a3 the trip can he made. Tho pipeorgan in the auditorium of tho fair grounds is one of the finest in tho country. It was built to have a place in the civic center which the city is establishing and when the exposi tion is over will bo moved there. Mr. Treadgold had the pleasure of listen ing to Edwin Lcmarc of London as he, performed on this instrument. Mr. Lc marc is reckoned the leading artist on the pipe organ there is in the world and his concerts attract a throng of appreciative listeners. Mr. Selmer enjoyed his visit to the fair and the fair city thoroughly al though he had only a short time in whicli to see the sights. He was es pecially impressed wit tho Canadian building, like so many others. He es pecially admired the manner in which the display was got up in which tho natural blended with the artificial in such a mnnner that it was hard to tell where tho ono ended nd the other be gan.

Then th.rj were cattle, hogs, horses and chiokens and with a few good races on he track and some music by the M rsh field band the crowd was cntartained. There were many people who ' d ed from all over the county coming by wagon, trainand automobiles. A number of Bandoninns were present, on the last day including. Dr. and Mrs. S. C. Endicott, C. C.

Cannery in Operation The co-operative cannery has now been running a week but the catch of chinooks and silversideii is not largo enough to keep the foice running fjll time. 10 Chinamen arc employed at the plant this side of Parkersburg and four white men. The run of fish is problematical. Some years it occurr us early as this part of yplomber and sometimes not for two or throe weeks Tho fish thus far have been caught with gill nets and Silvorsiiler. bring 15 cts each at the rnnnary and Chinooks 35 cts. The cannery is conducted on a co-operative baa's and whatever er tra price is received from the sale of fish is returned to tho fishermen when the pack is disposed or During tho past two years the mvitc has been bad and no profits returned to the fishermen. But this year the prospects are bet ter. The pack in Alaska is 40 per cent less than usual and in Puget sound where, two millions fish are an nually put up only ono hundred thirty five thousand were put up this year. The greatest call this year from European customers has I eon for the cheaper grades and the demand for tltesc is good but when this stook is disposed of the better grades must be called on. The ocean fishing boat has also been given a trial during the past week but will get more regular exer cise from now on. This boat which is owned by a company in which lohn Nielson is interested representee a venture which lias not been made to pay as yet, but which has possibilities along with the ups and downs of the fishing business. The boat is of a typo that has been used successfully on the sound in days past and uses a purhc seine in the attempt to catch salmon in the open ocean. ASPHALT:' There are occasional rumors of new discoveries along minors! lines. The latest that has readied us is that as phalt in some quantity is known to ex ist andbe outcropping in what is known ns the Bandon territory. If further in vestigation proves this to be true it will bo conclusive cvidsnc of the theo ry advanced by many thut we have here an oil field. Asphalt is the collec tion and deposit of netrcicum in grad ients and when found in the enrth's surfaco indicates a dike or break in tho otherwise uniform character of the ground through which the oil makes its exit. This report portends such important significancot hat some of Bandon's citizens are contemplat ing early investigation with the hope that they may confirm the report. THE MAYOR IN FRISCO Mayor Geo.
