THE COMMERCIAL CLUH
The timo is at hand for a .vigorous
action on the part of the Bandon Com
mercial Club, for a greater Bandon.
A large timber claim involving eighty
four thousand dollars for Coos Coun
ty timber is reported as just closed,
and the buyers are said to contemplate
the investment of at least a quarter of
a million in thin County. The Simp
son holdings are reported to be prac
tically sold at nine hundred fifty
thousand. Other deals of lesser size,
but aggregating a vast sum nre re
ported under way.
This will flood Coos County with
money, and the purchasers do not con
template buying something without
making use of it. Necessarily stu
pendous enterprises will be started to
become accomplished facts in the near
future. There is every rencon to be
lieve that the Southern Pacific will
continue their line from Coos Bay to
Eureka, and put Bandon on a through
trunk lino. The many and varied re
sources of this vicinity in mineral and
agricultural wealth that have been
lying dormant for co long nwniting
the proper scacon of prosperity to be
developed, seem about to invito the
speculator again to cur vicinity. Out
side people arc again looking toward
Coos County ns n land of protniss.
Letters are being received by the Com
mercial Club asking for information.
That information is not compiled nor
ready for distribution. The infor
mation can not be supplied as fast as
required. The demand for it, and the
inquiry made of this vicinity is in
creasing. Bandon anil Southern Coos
Couty should be ready for the oppor
tunity. An early start in nny direc
tion, even if slow, is far bettor than
a late start with a biff bang. The
Club should start with an annual elec
tion of officers, renewed energies and
new plans, and work along the lines
of the new needs and requirements ex
pected of it, and within the next sixty
days bo well under way for tho work
of 191(5.
Tho Portland Journal of tho 12th
says that Representative C. N. Mc
Arthur recently inado a vigorous
spend) in Congress against tho Ferries
water power bill, nnd remnrks that it
Is a bad beginning for a man who is
supposed to represent tho people. We
dosiro to remark that Mr. McArthur
just represents Portland.

The Bandon Post Office is coveted
pic for a a considerable number of
Banrm Democrats: The applicants
in the order of application as report
ed are: Charles Lorenz, Chris. Ras
mussen, W. A. Legore, J. W. Mast and
R. E. L. Bedillion. The term of the
present incumbent will expire during
the summer of 1910, and appoint
ments may be expected at any time
within the near future.
o
The people arc just being remind
ed that a campaign is near at hand by
the announcements now being made
by different seekers for political pre
ferment. For circuit judge of this dis
trict, Judges Skipworth and Hamil
ton Democrats, and Judge Coke, C. A.
Sehlbrcde, W. W. Card well, Buchan
nan of Roscburg, and Potter of Eu
gene Republicans are after the no
mination, with three to elect, Coke,
Hamilton and Skipworth being the
present incumbents. For prosecut
ing attorney Liljeqvist, Miller and
Barrow seek the Republican nomina
tion and ex-County Judge John P.
Hall has made his announcement to
seek the Democratic nomination.
The Republican party is like a ships
crew at sea without a pilot, and it ap
pears that certain of them plan nt the
psychological moment to stampede
the convention for Roosevelt, but the
protectionists and conservative con
tingent will not be over enthusiastic
for him uxid the peace-at-any-prico or
peace with honor delegates will not
be in a stampeding framc of miml, nnd
the blood and thunder co'ntingcnt ac
counted the back-bone of the Roose
velt boom will most likely be in the
greatminority. It takes a new leader
to create the enthusiasm of a stam
pede, something that an old war horse
or a has-been is unable to do. It is
most likely Roosevelt's nomination
or defeat wiH be accomplished fact
before the convention is called to or
der, and that the delegates will be
severally lined up for or against him
nnd in the event of nn nttcmptcd
stampede will be as immutable as the
Rock of Ages.
In 1908 Roosevelt steam-rolled Taft
to the nomination. In 1912 he made
a vigorous fight against the machine
he had help to create, but of which he
had lost control, nnd made a grand
stand fight for the primary system.
In 191 G he seems to be abandoning the
primary system, and seeking, accord
ing to press news, to secure delegates
favorable to him, without submitting
his name to voters at the primaries.
If this last report is correct then he
is the exponent of inconsistencey and
little less than a political trickster.
The primary system is here to stay and
will shortly be universally in vogue
throughout the United States to se
lect a presidential candidate. He who
seeks to evade the prevailing law of
the land the secure its highest office,
is not worthy of tho confidence of its
people.
FAIR WAS A SUCCESS
Hundreds of thousands of people
saw tho Coos and Curry exhibits in
the Oregon building nt the San Fran
cisco exposition. J. A. Ward, man
ager of tho displays, has returned

State Rooms With Run
the Coquille River and
from the south on his first visit here
since last May. He believes the ex
hibits have been of vast importance Uf
the citizens of these two counties and
well worth the expenditure of ?5,000,
The Sash rand Door factory of North
Bend elicited much attention with its
displays 5f myrtle wood novelties and
furniture. Many of these were sold
In fact the native woods formed
one of the best advertihements that
could have been sent down said Mr,
Ward. The big myrtle wood Mason
ic arch, of the local lodge, was much
admired. This has just been return
ed to Marshfield.
The dismantling of the Exposition
grounds and the buildings is slow,
The exterior of the structures still re
main intact in most instances. Spec
talors are still admitted to he grounds
on a 25 ct charge and the big an
building is to remain open until May 1
Most of the exhibits, however, nre
being carried away, though some of
the foreign displays arc still untouch
ed.
The beautiful California building is
to be retained as a state normal school
The legislature is to appropriate
$190,000 in putting it into shape for
school purposes.The Hawaiian build
ing has been donated to the city and
the big ncquarium has just been re
stocked. In this way many of the
structures of the Exposition will rc

to make his home. At the present

TIRING OF FADISM
Unmistakcablc arc the signs of
people tiring of the miany fnds that
of Into years have been thrust upon
the public in various forms. Most
keenly felt are these fads in the pu
blic schools and in municipal govern
merits. As n result, discipline has
' been destroyed in the public schools
When scntimcntnlism banished cor
Iporal punishment, no matter how de-
' served and necessary its infliction, dis
I obedience nnd do-as-you-pleasc enter
Jed tho schoolroom. The destruction
of discipline and the ardent cultiva-
tion nnd nursing of fadism have driv
'cn efficiency out of our educational in-
' stitutions. Thoroughness is conspi
cuous by its absence. A smattering
'idea of this or that is all that can be
I detected in the average pupil. There
I arc exceptions, of course, but these ex
ceptions nre due to individual effort
hind personal devotion to throughness
1 If there be doubts as to tho correct
ness of these statements let the aver
age high school graduato read a loud
a page from a well-written book or
magazine. If you want to learn how
familiar tho averago stenographer
and typist is with language experi
ment with him or her on the reproduc
tion of a pago or two of dictation
j other than that relating to stereotyped
commercial phrasing.
From, all parts of the country come
reports of pcoplo tiring of the fads
injected into municipal government.
The Illinois Municipal League recent
ly held its annual meeting at Cham
paign. A feature of its proceedings
was a vigorous attack on municipal
fads by Alderman W. F. Burns, of
Evanston. "I am tired and sick of
running n city government on no
funds and attempting to keep up with
nnd install every fad that comes a
long," ho said. "If the trend of the
times is for more centralization of
government and a greater display of
fiUternalism, give us more money to
run the city with. The city is be
sieged with club women, church
people, members of various associa
tions, to try out now fads and govern
mental experiments, yet tho city had
to do it all on tho same nmount of in
come."
Pcoplo who think as Aldcnrtan
Burns does will have to endure, per
haps for years, the fads that have
been hammered into the public mind
by the erratic professors who are pre
paring so many of our emotial impres
sionable and susceptible men nnd wo
men to become inmates of our numer
ous yet wholly inadequate hospitals
for the insane. The Tax Liberator.

More Railroad Dope
The following from the Evening
Record may bo mainly hot air but it
sounds good.
Before leaving here, Chief Engineer
William Hood and the Southern Pa
cific Superintendent W. F. Miller will
probably arrange for a train service
between Marshfield and Lakeside.
The plans have not been fully arranp
ed, but it is expected an announce
ment will be made in connection with
the extension of service. Engineer
Hood and his party came over the line
from Eugene to observe the progress
of work along the way and concluded
things were going ns well as could be
expected considering the condition
of the weather nnd a number of un
avoidable delays.
Among the officials arc Ralph Moo
dy, attorney for the Southern Pacific
Engineer H. P. Hoey, of Eugene nnd
W. R. Fountninc, assistant to Mr.
Hoey. Mr. Fountninc arrived in ad
vance of the others, coming in this
morning from Hauscron the launch
North Star. He made arrangements
at the Chandler hotel for the accom
modation of the visitors while they
arc in the city.
Those who came later, arrived on
the construction train which is dir
ected by Engineer V. G. Hindmarsh
and he accompanied them to the city.
The train was delayed some nt the
bridge by reason of a special arrange
ment which is now used for turning
the big drawbridge. For the pasti
two weeks the bridge could not bo
turned by the machinery in place for
that purpose as one portion of tho
transmission gear is broken nnd a
new piece had to be ordered from the
East. Tho custom now is to turn the
bridgo by a cable and pulley attach
ed from a donkey engine which is in
stalled on n largo scow.
Whether or not Chief Engineer
Hood will make any announcement
of work on the connectig line between
Coos Bay and Eureka is not known,
but it cannt be delayed long if work is
to commence in 1910, ns seems pro
bably. From recent Information it is
understood to be settled the line south
from Coos Bay will go dwn Pon inlet
frm North Bend instead of going
thrugh Beaver Hill, as was expected
ut the time the first news of the ex
tension south was given out. Engi
neer Georgo WolfronV three years ago
surveyed from Heaver Hill junction
to Bandon, by way of Beaver slough
and the Coquille river, and although
many believe the lino was to follow
that route the general idea now is
that it will cut out Marshfield and
branch towards Bandon from North
Bend.
Another reason to buoy the belief
the new road will be built west from
here between North Bend and Bandon
is the fact a better grado can be ob
tained by following the const line.
It is said the charts outlining the
link between here nnd Eureka or
Trinidad, arc already prepared in the
Southern Pacific offices and indicate
the line will follow the coast closer,
instead of being attached to the end of
the Smith-Powers road at Powers and
going thence down the coast.
When the Smith-Powers' line is
extended it will, it is said, be built
to West Fork, on the Southern Paci
fic, north of Grants Pass, where traf
fic can bo routed from the south to
Coos Bay and thus save a haul by
Eugene.
General Manager D. W. Campbell,
of Southern Pacific lines, with head
quarters in Portland is also with tho
party as is Mrs. Hood, whd has ac
companied her husband here on every
trip he has taken over tho line.
Likely another result of the trip
will be a decision as to when traffic
in passengers will commence over the
Willamette Pacific. For a number
of months it has been expected servico
would be inaugurated not later than
some time in February and thero is
no reason to believe it will be delayed
longer, than that, sinco the rails will
be aid before before Fcburary 15th.
