Christmas Baskets
HAT UNIVERSAL good cheer shall pre
vail throughout the homes of Bandon anti
community on Christmas Day is the object
of an organization of prominent local women.
While the big majority of us will enjoy the
pleasures of the Holiday season, there will be
some, especially among the little folks, not as
fortunate as the rest. To see that these too are
not forgotten, this organization has named the
following committee to aid in the work of gath
ering and distributing baskets, and receiving
funds to aid in the work: Mrs. S. P. Pearce,
Mrs. Geo. W. Moore, Mrs. C. !•’. Pape, Mrs. J.
S. Hayes, Mrs. E. W. Schetter, Mrs. T. White,
Mrs. G. Boak. Mrs. John Dickey, Mrs. 0. Eras
er, Mrs. I,. W. Turnbull and Mrs. W. E. Craine.
If it is your d sin- to see everyone happy
on this day of all days, you may help by offer
ing a basket or some funds with which to pro
vide one. These gifts may be left with any one
of the foregoing committee or at the store of
J. I. Sidwell, which will be committee headqar-
ters.

It was the launching of the little

which took place with due pomp and

the water but sped on up the river
like a real honest to goodness speed
boat, and now take* her place among
the fastest of the Coquille rivet

"Damfino" derived Its name from
ths phrase, "damfino if she's goin
to run or not,” so often applied t<

The remark is frequently heard
that the boys of the Coast Guard
service certainly have a snap. Their
job might be considered a snap be
cause It is but often that they have
real service to do. But, when duty
Joe* call, they invariably demon-
strata that the jeb Is not all pleas-
are and that they are "there with the
goods " The following news dis
patch in connection with the submar
ine accident the other day. appeared
in the Oregonian:
“To the heroism of surfman Oscar
Swanson, of the Humbolt Coast
Guard station, the twenty-three men
from the H-3 probably owe their
lives. Carried to the side of the sub- I
uarine in a surf boat, Swanson leaped
to the seawashed decks of the H-3
and finally made fast a line, after two .
attempts by the exhausted crew of
'lie submarine had failed r
"While more than 3000 persons'
<tood along the shore in breathlees I
ulence, Swanson took the first line ;
which had been shot aboard the sub
marine early in the day and made it ,
fast, but it parted.
"A second line fell true acrosn'thei
hull near the conning tower. On
reaching for the line Swanson lost his >
grip and a sea washed him over'
board. But the husky viking, a giant
n strength and courage, was not
launted. Soon he was back aboard
the submarine, and, while the crowd
ishore cheered, he clung to the slip
pery deck and made fast the line
Soon the breeches buoy was rigged
ind the work of rescue was begun.
!ivery four minutes a man was land
'd, until at 6:15 the last man, Lieut-
•nant Bogusch himself was landed."
