JETTY EXTENSION
IS BEING URGED
$40,000 Available For Wor

TION OF EXTENDING NORTH
JETTY WITH WASHINGTON
dept. and ok kg on sen At
ORS
Another attempt to get the gov
triiment to used the unexpended pjr
tlon of the money appropriated for
intthoru hurl)or improvements last
year, on the extension of the north
ktty seaward, is being made by the
Port of Handon and the Bandon Com
moreml Club, and it is hoped that the
mpiovcmcnt will lie ordered at once
la follow immediately upon the com
plction of the inside jetty.
At the rircsont time there is about
10,000 that was appropriated by th
. nvernmert for harbor work on the
Coquille river Hint is still unexpend
I. but all attempts nuido so fa:- to
I .vo tlu.i money used in the extei
,on of the north jetty have fjik"
iheiv appears to be no tloubt mil
what the improvement is needed am!
the district engineer, in the Portland
i I'lce, has recommended that the wori
ie done. However, tho report of an
V,lh 'l' government oillcial was adverse
mid the application of the local Port
Commission wns refused last fall
In making the present request that
i'u money bo expended on this wot I
ie Commission is sending its Port
land attorney, Ray Ii. Conipton, who
Iso represents several other port a
'ong the coast, to Washington to i
ie:ir before the board of engineers in
K-rson and explain the rnudiliniis to
i hem. To make the case stronger the
Commercial Cluli has taken the initt
icr up with the Oiegon members of
Congress in a petition asking that
the $.10,000 bo applied to the improve
.nent of the north Jetty. Mr. Comp
ton was in Handon lust week -and wis
nken all over the present work
Engineer Roselle and later went to
the north jetty in company with Col
R. II. Komi, of the Port Commission
who explained to him the need and
i aturo of the proposed extension
After getting of data and material at
hand, Mr. Conipton left for Washing
ton by way of Portland, Thursday
night.
Ity doing the proposed work at the
present time it is estimated that the
$-10,000 will do as much as $00,000
would at a later date. If the oxpen
sion of the mqney is not authorized at
once the quarry and equipment in uso
en the present project will be elosei'
mid stored away and the cost of re
opening the quarry and tuittiiiir tho
-i.iilpiiiont back in shape would
do o to $.'0,000. Those in clung- of
the pv nt wor!; expect to havo the
job completed by May 15th.
Tho wreck of the Fifiild, caused by
the strong current running down the
mi't from the forth and against
which boats crossing the liar have no
oicetioi at present, is expected to
have considerable weight with the
Washington ollicinls.
By extendi'ig the north jetty 1000
feet soawiml, not only would this cur-
i' t ! -hut oil, but the north jot ty
oi Id ..ullWiotly longer than tho
oiitli jetty to allow the soditno.it

Demand For Myrtle
Wood Nation Wide
Hid ORDERS II A YE TO HE TURN
ED DOWN HECAUSE OF LI
MITED EQUIPMENT
.lust think of having to turn down
an order for 1:1,503,000 Myrtle wojd
bobbins, the profits from which con
tract would net the manufacturer a
small fortune. That is just what
Fiank W. Relifeld, of Mnrshfield, h:wl
to do last week.
Mr. Relifeld conducts a small wooi?
working shop on Second street, in the
bay, metropolis, where he turns myrti
wood novelties and handicraft pieces
such as we see in the stores. Early
! last week he secured an order for 1,-
000.000 "auto writers", a little contri
vance that is used in teaching small
children to write. The little mocha
nicnl penmen n;e to be made of myille
and the conflict will tax the ,iln it
to its capacity. Two or three davs
after receiving this contract Mi
Kohfeld received a letter from the
Northwust Trading company asking
for quotations on the big order of
myrtle wood bobbins to be used in tne
f ictorie at Calcutta, India.
This demand emphasis -the fact that
manuacturing iiyrtle wood into li
minion -iruiiucis eoiiiu ne made one
of the big industries of this section
oi tne country, there is no end to
the uses to which the wood can he
put and for some purposes it is sup
erior to any other material that can
bi secured. Its exceptional hardness
mikes it dilllcult to work, but with
proper machinery it could io made
into almost any article that is boinic
made of othar hard woods.

Primary Election

NOT HE SWORN
THREE
SAYS
CAN
IN
Owing to tho general misunder
standing regarding the provisions af
the Primary election law, which seems
to be prevalent not only in Bandon
but also tho surrounding precincts,
Registrar C. B. Zeek makes tho fol
lowing announcement:
"I wish to correct some misunder
standing regarding information said
to have been given out by me rela
tive to voting at the Primary election,
May 10th, or being a candidate on the
tickets at that election.
First; only registered electors,
either as republicans, democrats or
progressives, can vote at the Primary
election, for the reason that there are
no other political parties in the field
and no voters can be sworn in at the
polls on election day. No other
candidate's names can appear on the
ballot.
Again, the city of Bandon, being
a city of less thun '-'000 population
according to (be figures of the luat
census, cannot luv tho names of the
earvJIdates for the several city olllnis
pliiKMl on tlm ballot for tha Primary I
election. Nominations for city olllc

last event was finished.
While the meet was a sort of work
out affair for the county meet that is
to take place in Mnrshfield, May 'JOtn,
some of the results were startling and
's rumored that two county running
records were smashed. Root, of
Myrtle Point, who took third placj in
the county meet last year, proved to
)l5 the. "dark horse" and cantered a-
WH' with the GO and 100 yard dasho.i
easily. HooUni, wearing the red and
white colors. Was llii'h iiiiinl U'liunir'
taking four firsts and nlacine- in to.
veral other events.
Quigley's boys showed up Ijrighl in
the races and got away with first
money in five out of the seven runn
ing events, but fell down miserably in
the weights and jumps. Hell took tho
'J20 and -1-10 yard numbers with no
one near him, while Hullard had a
walkaway in the. mile and half m'le,
as did Webb in the vard hiird:.
I Althouirh Stenhenson u-mnrliml l,i.
Lnkle in practice two days before tho
meet, he gave a creditable account of
himself in his events Saturday. Ann
strong fell way short of what he has
been doing here with the discus and
shot and could get nothing better than
a second in the shot-put, although tno
best throw was considerably short of
his average.
Taking into consideration the fact
that tho field upon which the meet
was held is full of hills and gullie.s
the time made in all of the races was
exceptionally good. The meet went
olT smoothly and wns well managed
and well attended. About '10 rooters'
made the trip from Handon with the
team.
Coach Quigley is very optimistic
over the results his boys showed and
is expecting big things of them in tne
county meet. Each of his sprinters
ana "'stance men should be good for
at lca8t 0,,e flrst l,laco at Mnrshfiold
and, unless Armstrong has another
oft" day, he should annex not less than
five points in the weight events.
These, with a scattering of soconds
and thirds, will put the black and
gold well up in the running for the
county championship.
