I------------------- \\ hen the steamer Elizabeth leaves Francisco on the next voyage i her four-hundredth round trip be I tween that city and the k '«tuille riv 1 er will have begun. Twelve years ago last February the late Captain C. P. Jensen brought the Elizabeth into Bandon harbor for the first time and she made but one other tiip. when to accommodate local trade lie took a cargo of canned salmon to Astoria.

To safeguard the tug a line was fastened to the Elizabeth and her anchor chain held the two through out the night. Since he succeeded t'aptain Jensen in command in 1906, Captain John Olsen has been ou the bridge of the Elizabeth every time she docked here. Not only is the Elizabeth a favor- , ite with shippers; she is the hobby 1 of her owners and San Francisco ma- 1 rine circles know the staunch little craft as Kruse’s yacht." Many are . the parties who have enjoyed th»! hospitality these public spirited boosters extended, such as the cruise 1 among the battleships when they passed up the coast on their jaunt around the world. While these lit tle cruises are frequent they are not i allowed to Interfere with the sched ule of the boat. Along with her other names the Elizabeth Is designated on the navi gation records as No. 200554. She is 1 12 feet in length, has a 35.X foot beam and 9.9 foot depth of hold. Her register is 363.44 gross ami 284.13 net tonnage and her engines develop 350 horse power. Nineteen men and officers make up the crew, while shs accommodates 29 passengers in all. The upper staterooms are equipped with hot and cold running water ano 1 rank with those of any vessel operat ing along the coast. So satisfactory has been the work of J. E. Walstrom, local agent for 1 the boat, in adjusting claims and at tending to the Kruse interests here during the nine years he has been In charge, that only once have either of his employer* visited Bandon. Tiie Elizabeth was built for the Band' n-San Francisco run and on that run she will stay, is the declara lion of her owners. Should the un likely time ever come w hen no other boats enter the Coquille river, this faithful craft will still cross In and out over the bar or be wrecked in the attempt. It Took Much to Satisfy Our Seventeenth Century Ancestors (Mrs. F. H. Fassbender) Organized eight years ago, Novem ber 1 4. 1907, the Ladies' Thimble chib lias found and filled a place (hat is bo often neglected In com munities where commercial expan sion is as rapid as it has been in Ban don. From its first purpose bh an organization to further recreation and the needlecraft art among its members, the club has grown to be no of the leading civic and chari table associations in the county and in a way its influence has been felt throughout the northwest. Its stand on the "city beautiful" movement j has-been decisive. Through the money derived from the club's dln- net^ and needlework sales many civic Improvement projects have been fostered, the first assistance being a gift of $75.01» to the Bandon band for tiie purchase of music, in 1908. As a member of the Oregon Federa tion of Women’» clubs, the Thimble Club is doing its utmost towards se curing a state hospital for crippled children. Within the knowledge of the club no deserving person in the city has been destitute for the want of supplies or clothing. , Perhaps the most noteworthy work of the society, and one which has been commented upon throughout the northwest, is Bandon’s "Sweet Pea Day,” an annual event under the auspices of the club. Another an nual flower event which they in tend to stage for the first time next year is "Dahlia Day." New Location TIMMONS BUILDING. First Street.
