to be Principal Speaker of tie Evening
1
Frank Terrace, the man who has their valley. Thev won out anil mnnv
done more than anyone else towards
putting King countyj Washington, on
tho map as the homo of good roads,
! to be the principal speaker at the
monster road meeting to bo held in
the Moose Hall, tomorrow (Wednes
day) night. Ho will speak on the ad
vantages of bonding for good roads.
In bringing Mr. Terraco hero to
speak throughout tho county, in the
campaign for tho road bonds that are
to be voted on at the coming election
May 19, tho Coos County Good Roads
Association feel that' they have se
cured a speaker who is thoroughly in
formed regarding road problems. C.
C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon
Voter, has tho following to say of Mr.
Terrace:
"lie subdued -a Stump fnrm.near the
Duwnmish .River in King Count;
Washington, afoul thirty years ago.
Milked cows nnd hoed garden part of
(he time and hauled his milk and
aide n produce to market through the
mud the balance of the time about
one-third farmc nnd two-thirds-tcam-
.uor. was very active in me iving
coucty grange ono of the beat kick"
crs they had. Went to a good rn&ua
ccture and got Into an argument
vith tho speaker and cleaned him out.
He proved to the satisfaction of the
crowd that an improved road was a
ine thing for tho city man but a poor
thing for tho former-taxpayer and
von much applause from his fellow
grangers. Afterwards ho got "to
thinking it over and did a lot of f igur-
ng and reading with the result th.nj.
within a year he wns working for a
-oad up his valley. Most of his no!gh-
ors opposed his project but he got
'omo help from tho town, tho bonds
.vcro issued and a first class road was
cuilt. It mado a big hit until whon
ho winter came the Duwamish river
.oso nnd left tho road about twenty
feet under water. His neighbors
said, "Now, where is your road?"
Terrace was very much worried but
Ms tho happiest man in King County
when the waters went down and ho
found tho road there as good as new.
Now there is n fine auto truck ser
vice between his valley and Seattle,
nicking up cream cans, veal, hogs,
dairy nnd garden produco daily anJ
delivering merchandise right to tho
farmer's door. Every farmer has his
own depot In front of his house. Now
Terraco Is a fnrmer all the timo and
doesn't have to be a teamster r. id
fight mud. Ho hitches up his 'i ,y
arid drives to town with his fan - ' r
pleasure nnd business. Tho j -! Ie
of tho next valley profited by tb- "v-
ample and clambrcd for a road up.

BE LEFT ON THE BEACH
SECOND OF FYFE BOATS TO
GO ON BEACH A TOTAL LOSS
All attempts to float the stranded
I
scliooror Oakland, which went on the
each north of Bar View, Ore., severil
weeks ago, have been given up j:u.
she will remain where she is, another
attraction for tha thousands of sum
mer visitors that are present at the
nearby resorts every year. Accord
ing to tho report received here, the
wrecking tug Noye, after nuking two
attempts to float tho Oakland, steam
ed back to San Francisco, Wednesday.
Tho absence of proper tides, coupl
ed with the deep Led of sand into
which the ship was settled, prevented
what seemed at first an easy Job. It
is not known what disposition will be
made of the vessel and its cargo cf
ties, most of which went ashore when
the Oakland beached or have ben ,
taken ashore since. There are 1600
ties piled up on the beach near NecAr-1
TUESDAY, MAY, 9. 1916
FOR WED. NIGHT
' miles of first class roads wore con-
strutted in King County. Terraco
was opposed to bonding for road con
struction until his experience with
loads built by bonds demonstrated
what an actual profit there was to
the farmer taxpayer in saving tha
time and cost of hauling and permit
ting him to use his full productivo
energy in farming; also, in enabling
him to market his produce at all tim
es of the year. Terrace tells his
story in a single, straight-forward,
understandable way. Ho is just the
opposite, from the professional talker
for ho lives on and works his farm,
leaving it only for very short periods
when he can address brother farmfrs,
especially members of the grange,
telling them of the benefits that have
como to him nnd his neighbors ami
their families from building roads,
He gives come sound advico on th'
least costly methods of road construe'
tion and the best way to go about it
to save money for the taxpj!-
FVank Terraco has done much'Vgood
iiv this world, has carried hope ai.il
Iiifppir.eGc into the lives of his neigh
bors and of f.-.rmers in other neigh
borhoods, by his common sense, simple
talks on tl.o road problem."
Whilo llVr. Terrace will speak al
most entirely on the advantages of
good roads nnd tho advisability of
bonding tha county for their construc
tion, tho details of the proposed bond
issue will be taken up by other speak
ers. Tho county" court and the Good
Roads association will both be repre
sented at tho meeting. It is hopod
thnt not only pcoplo living in Bandon,
but also voters and others interested
from down the coast and along tho
river will attend tho meeting, which
will begin promptly at eight o'clock.

WHERE TAX MONEY WILL
GO IF BONDS ARE VOTED
JUDGE WATSON EXPLAINES
HOW FUNDS NOW USED JFOR
MAINTAINANCE WILL BE
EXPENDED
Thero has been considerable discus
sion among the voters of tho county
a3 to where the money derived from
road assessments would be spent, and
how, in case tho proposal to bond the
county for $362,000 for road purposes
carries at the coming election. The
question was asked of County Judge
James Watson by the Good Roads As
siciation and here is his answer:
Conuille, Ore., April 27, l'JIG
Charles Hall, President,
Coos County Good Roads Association
Marshfield, Oregon.
Dear Sir:-
In answer to your letter dated
March 29, 1916, inquiring that in tho
event there should be made available
2 per cent of the assessed valuation of
the County for tho construction of
trunk lino roads, what improvement!
on certain roads listed therein could
be made.
In the event that the election for
bonds carries, tho County Court would
bo in a position to materially aid in tho
improvement and construction of a
rond from Sumner to Coos City, from
Dora to Myrtle Point, from Powcro
to Myrtlo Point, from Myrtle Point
to Bridge, from Marshfield to Sunsc
Bay and frcm Alleghany to tlr
Douglas County line. The Ciur.ly
Court would be able to aid in the co
struction of a bridge at Coquille, -
build' and maintain a ferry at Glut;
goW, and tho surfacing of a road fron
Marshfield city limits through Bunkc-
Hill to connect with the present sur
faced road.
The bridge at Myrtle Point will bo
built out of the County General Road
fund nnd tho dato for plans has nl
ready been submitted to the Stats
Highway Commission for plans and
specifications.
It will not'be possible that all theses
projects will be taken in hand at once
and completed but, if tha bond Issua
"r's, tho Ccunty Court is relievod
ironi expending general funds on th
. ltfrnmcnt and grading of the main
trui.k toads cud there will be a con
sidcrable amount of funds availabla
for those projects.
Yours truly,
JAMES WATSON

AT SAN FRANCISCO
tired Here For Several Years
INJURED BY FALL TUESDAY
MORNING HE DIES WITHIN 24
HOURS LEFT BANDON ONLY
SHORT TIME AGO Ult-E
LEAVES THURSDAY.
Jack W. Akman, who left Bandon
less than two months ago to tnko a
position ns ship plummer in ona of
the San Francisco yards, died in tint
city at seven o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, from injuries received tho day
before while ho was at work.
Word that Mr. Akman was Injured
reached here first Tuesday morning,
when Mrs. Akman received n tele
gram stating that he had received a
"bad fall while at work and Avas in a
serious condition. Wednesday morn
ing the news cf his death arrived.
Mrs. Akman at once arranged for tho

COMMERCIAL CLUB
. IS TOMEET TONIGHT
REVIVAL OF OLD OR FORMA
TION OF NEW ORGANIZATION
TO BE DECIDED
A meeting of all of tho businem
men of the city has been called for
this evening, In the City Hall, at which
time the question of reviving tho old
Commercial Club, or forming n iijw
commercial organization, will - ba
laken up.
With tho opening of tho railroad
and tho revival of business condition
that haa been in progress for tho pa3t
two months, it has been becoming
more and mora evident every day
that, unless eome sort of commercial
organization is maintained here, vo
will bo left behind In tho development
which is rdrcady in evidence through-
out the county. People throughout
tho Northwest are looking towards
Coos county ns the land of possibili
ties and to reach these pcoplo iind act
before them tho advantages and op
portunities which Bandon and tha
surrounding country has to offer, is
tho task of a commercial organiza
tion. Beyond advertising and knott
ing our own local resources, we should
be taking an active part in tho Itooet
cr work that is being done for tho be
nefit of the entire county.
What we are losing through tho
lack of some civic body to direct v d
supervise our publicity work, Is de
monstrated by tho number of letters
of inquiry about this section that are
received eVery week. Mot of tho'
writers ask for descriptive literature
and such other data as wo havo it
hand. The newrpapers care for a
large number of these Inquiries, mer
chants devote what time they on to
answering Cnm but the big majori
ty of them are given no attention
whatever. All of these letters 1 1
dicatc thnt Bindon is strongly In
trenched on the map of Coos county,
bat we mutt have some body whose
business it ic to keep it there.
