BECOMING
A LIVE PORT
(Bandon Recorder.j

BdnuOn hecOrQer.)
That the Coquille river is becom-
ing a greater shipping port all the
time is evidenced from the number
of boats that are arriving and de-
parting; last Sunday especially, this
port looked like business as the FL
field, Elizabeth and Bandon, steam
schooners, and the Oregon and Ad
vance, sail vessels, were all tied up
at the dock, and there were also, the
tug Klihyam and the tug Robarts,
which is here for the purpose of TAX
ing the government material up To
the S'uslaw, and together with th7
river boats, the entire outfit made
quite a showing.
The Fifield arrived Friday after
noon wi III tons Of freight and
10 passengers.
The Elizabeth arrived Saturday
with 95 tons of freight and two pas
selgers. She sailed again Wednes-
day with 1872 900 feet Of lumber, 81
cords of matchwood, cases OF
wooden goods, one bale of WOODEN
goods, two tons of miscellaneous
and a fair list Of passengers

morning and sails today via Coos
Bay for San Pedro. The Bandon

WttN IHVHW
SOMEWHAT
PREMATURELY

Several hundred people of the
neighborhood, from Aumsville, West
Stayton, Stayton and Sublimity, as
semble on the river banks Sunday
afternoon at North Santiam to wit
ness the public baptism, by INNER
sion, of three converts to the Chris
tian church Not only did they see
Evangelist Stephens baptize those
who expected to be dipped but they
likewise witnessed the mighty fall
of two others-spectators like them
selves-who had no intention of en-
tering the chilled water on that day
Clifford Jarvis and one companion
in order to obtain a better point OF
view, climbed out on an old tree
trunk which overhung the back
water of a slough at a height Of
about / 5 feet No one else, fortu-
nately, essayed the same vantage
place. Just as preparations for the
rite of baptism were making, there
came a mighty crash not uncoupled
with shrieks of dismay, which
sounded and resounded through the
wildwood.
Cr-r-r-r-ack! Swish !!Kar-splash-
=
This series of disconnected sounds
were interspersed with the screams
of some women and girls, consterna-
tion on the part of the religious in
clined, and broad gusts of laughter
and shouts by the men. The tree
trunk lay where it fell, and few per-
sons were fain to believe, at first
that at least one of the youths who
had climbed out on it's eminence at
tired in his Sunday best was caught
beneath the weight of the timber
and held fast, drowning, beneath the
ruffled water, But not so.
Scarcely had the first excitement
passed, ere poor Clifford, dis
heveled and extremely muddy figure,
was seen blindly striking out in the
muddy slough for what he thought
was the shore. Mud was in his eyes
on his clothes, in his hair; mud conf
pletely covered him, the water the
while dripping off him in small
rivulets. But as fast as he rose out
of his slough of despond, the faster
did he seem to sink again. pitiful
and wo-begone, though withal a
most comical sight to those who did
not feel the icy touch of natures
bosom.
Santiam water and mud and
gravel evidently got on Clifford S
nerves as much as the plaudits from
terra firma, for he struck out into
the current of the swiftly flowing
stream, finally reaching a goal OF
safety on the far side of the river
The process of swimming in the
clear water of the river eliminated
most Of the mud, but when he
emerged he presented lamentable
appearance. Jarvis took the jest
and laughter good-naturedly, but did
not attempt to gain a new vantage
ground from which to witness the
baptism of the other members as his
experience had been a-plenty.
The other young man lit in the
slough on his feet, and escaped with
only one foot moistened.
Then, as though nothing hap
pened, Evangelist Stephens bade the
converts enter, and the baptism
proceeded in accordance with the
tenets of the Christian church.

School Patron" Likens May
or to Old King WhoW ould
Turn Back the Ocean
CAN'T STOP ALL PROGRESS

The suggestion made at the meeting
of the Common Council on Monday ev-
ening that the Kenosha kindergartens
be eliminated for time at least has
stirred up a storm of opposition in all
parts of the city and the friends of
education for the smaller children are
rushing TO the defense of the system Of
schools in Kenosha. The school pat
rons seem to feel real fear that the
schools will be retarded by the action of
the council. One of the letters that
has been received by the News today
dealing with this question follows:
Mr.. Editor:
There is story cunningly told in
our school readers of an old king,
Canute by name, who raised to posi-
tion of power and fattered by his
courtiers came to think that he had
supreme power. One day, as the story
goes, he in great pomp was taken to
the sea shore where surrounded by his
retinue ne mounted q throne The
crowd was there to see wonderful ex-
hibition Of power. Canute was to COM
mand the waves Of the ocean to ad-
vance no further and they were all
there to see the waves shrink back.
But it happened that the big rollers
of the old Atlantic did not heed the
monarch's command and in place we
have the picture Of the drenched and
bedraggled king retreating up the bank.
Progress cannot be stayed any more
than the waves Of the Atlantic.
Mayor Scholey may when clothed
with a little brief authority, issue
his edict, to arrest educational pro-
gress but public opinion, which can
be relied upon to stand for progress
viii sweep on like the waves of the
ocean and it may happen that obstruc-
tions will be no more respected than
the Atlantic respected Old King Ca
mute.

WOULD RENT THEM TO PUPILS
State Law Makes it Impossible to Of.
fer Free Books but Board Will Get
as Close as Possible to This Idea
New Plan Works Well.

The Board of Education is busy at
work working out reform for the
schools of Kenosha which will I'M
doubtedly be greeted with applause by
the people who send their children to
school and that is plan for the fur
nishing of text books. AT the present
time the text books must be bought
by the children of the different grades
and the purchase Of these books is at
times decidedly heavy drag on the
parents of thu children. Free text
books are not possibility under the
present Wisconsin law and many peo-
pie In Kenosha have signed petitions
to the legislature asking it to pass a
law against free text books in the
schools. Under the conditions the COM
mittee on supplies of the Board of Edu-
cation is working out another plan and
that is a plan of renting the books to
the children. 1t is hoped that this plan
can be put into execution with the
opening Of new school year but it is
just possible that the lack of money
will force the board to lay it over for
still another year. The plan that has
been suggested to the board would pro-
vide that the board purchase all text
books needed for the schools and that
these remain the property of the board
of education to be rented to the child
rem in the various grades at a uniform
rate of Is cents for each school year.
This fee will be used by the board in
keeping up the stock IF books. Should
the books be lost or SO badly damaged
as to make them unit for use by sue
ceeding classes the student will be ex-
pected to pay for them at the whole
sale price paid by the board. While
the profit in school books is not as
large as the profit on some other things
making up the necessary expenses Of
the family the board feels that it
could save thousands of dollars annually
to the school patrons in Kenosha.
The committee on supplies has start
ed to put plan into operation and all
paper used in some of the grades is
now being supplied by the board. 1t
is supplied to the children of these
grades at actual cost and the plan is
working very nicely. There has been
no general change in text books in
Kenosha in several years but at the
present time new books are being slow
ly added and in some cases the board
of education has purchased these books
and is furnishing them to the child
rem. Free text books have always been
opposed by the agents of the big book
companies and for this reason it has
been a hard matter to secure proper
legislation along these lines in Wiscon-
sin during the past years.

GOLDEN GIRL PLEAsEs.
Annual Production for Elks Draws Rec
ord Crowd Of Season to the Rhode.

'.fThe Golden Girl the annual offer
ing of the Kenosha lodge of Elks for
the theatre goers of Kenosha held the
boards at the Rhode opera house on
Tuesday evening and was witnessed by
the largest and most representative
crowd seen in the theatre during the
present season. Every one was there
and when the curtain was rung up on
the first act every seat in the theatre
was filled save few far back In the
balcony and galleries.
The production was one Of the best
musical comedies ever seen in Kenosha
The entirely competent cast headed
by Leona Watson and Zeke Cohan was
forced to respond to curtain calls after
each act. The musical numbers by
Miss Watson were especially pleasing
to the audience and she was forced to
respond to repeated encores.
The Golden Girl was put on with a
scenic investment which was as beauti-
full as ever given any piece in Kenosha
and every stage setting won hearty
applause.

Supreme Lodge Meets Will
Straighten Entanglements
By Change in Rules
FIRST MEETING HELD SINCE OF

A complete reorganization of the An
eient Order of United Workmen, the
oldest fraternal insurance order in the
United States, is expected to be
brought about at meeting Of the Su-
preme Lodge which began in Louis
vile, Tuesday, with prominent repres
entatives of the order present, from
twenty-three states. The affairs of the
order have been entangled in litigation
for several years and the present meet
ing is the first that the Supreme Lodge
has held since 1907
The litigation which has proven
rather disastrous to the order, both as
regards membership and finances, grew
out of the refusal of certain Grand
Lodges to assist in bearing the fnan-
cial burden of heavy claims against
Grand Lodges in other states. Some
of the Grand Lodges withdrew rather
than pay the extra assessments, while
others took the matter into the courts.
A court decision was finally returned
in favor of the Supreme Lodge and
now the representatives of the several
states have come together to make an
amicable arrangement and to decide up
on such changes in the laws of the or
der as may be deemed necessary to
meet the objections of the Grand
Lodges and to restore the order to that
condition of prosperity which it has
enjoyed in the past.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE
Ashland Avenue Pavements and Rice
Park Sewers Cost Property Owners
Close to sS5,ooo-Expect Big Year in
1911.

The season FOR the putting in of
public Improvements in Kenosha VIII
close this evening and sewer men and
street PAYERS are putting in the finish
ing touches on this work. The year
has not been record breaking one for
public Improvements but the city has
spent somewhere in the neighborhood
of 100000 for street improvements.
Most of this money has been paid by
the property owners but the portion
paid by the city will be close to $780,
900. The most notable public improve
ment was the paving Of Ashland avenue
and Dayton street the contract cover
ing more than a mile of brick pave
ment. The cost Of this work was close
to $4,000. Other paving projects in
Guided the paving Of Pearl street from
Main to Chicago street. This work
was done by the Balm Wagon company
as a part Of the consideration prom
ised the city at the time certain streets
and portions Of streets surrounding the
plant were vacated for the uses of the
company. The paving OF Maiden Lane
between Market and Pearl street was
charged entirely to the Simmons Manu-
featuring company, IL being the owner
of all property affected by the improve
ment
The cost of sewers laid during the
year was in the neighborhood of $15,-
900. OF this amount the lion s ghare
went to what is known as Rice Park
subdivision. Tn this subdivision more
than mile of sewers were laid at a
total cost of more than ten thousand
dollars. 1t was admitted that the coun-
ell was taking a chance on these sew
ers having a proper fall but it is said
that work completed today is satisfac-
tory to the property owners.
Most of the other sewers laid were
of little Importance and were auxiliary
to systems laid in other years. The
only other large public improvement
project completed during the year was
the building of the Bronson street via
duct which was completed a short time
ago sat a total cost Of $3,100. The cost
of this work is borne entirely by the
city.
The coming year promises to be a
record breaker for street improvements
in the city if the city can raise the
money to take care of its part of the
cost. The work now projected includes
the paving of Elizabeth street from
Ashland avenue to the West limits OF
the city, the paving of Lake avenue
from Milwaukee avenue to the North
limits of The city and the laying of
more than a half a mile of new sew
ers. In addition to this there is the
probability that some start will be made
on the building Of the proposed trunk
sewer. ) The finance committee of the
council has not made any provision
for these big projects but at that it
is probable that they will go forward
and the city seek to ind some way to
pay for the work as it is completed.

START BIG CAMPAIGN soon
Committee Of Fifty Prominent Men
Under Leadership of G.. L. Miller
Will Seek to Raise Membership of
Association to 1000.

A big revival in the interest in the
work of the Young Mems Christian
Association is being planned for Ken
psha and in the very near future a
committee of fifty of the leading men
Of the city will start crusade to Sc
cure new members for the association.
The slogan for the crusade is to be
"One Thousand Members" and the
members Of the committee believe that
their plan will succeed. G. L. Miller,
manager of the Kenosha Home Tele-
phone company has been put at the
head of Che membership committee and
be promises to bring to his aid big
company of the best men of the city.
The Y. M. G. A. for years has been
putgrowing it's present quarters and al
ready initial steps have been taken to-
ward the securing Of new home for
the association. This movement has
proceeded far enough to have an OPP
tion taken on a large piece of down
town property as site for a new
building. This new proposition is in
the hands Of president w. w. Vincent
and q full announcement Of the plans
will be made at the meeting of the
directors on Friday evening. With a
membership of thousand it is thought
that the board of directors would have
little trouble financing a deal for the
building of the proposed new home,
New occasions have taught new duties
to the officers of the association and
while the building now used was ad-
mirably fitted for association work at
the time it was opened the extension
of the work along many lines has de-
manded an extension of the building.
This demands a new building and a new
location. In the past the directors have
had chances to dispose of the building
at the corner Of Main and South streets
and it is pretty certain that purchas-
or could be found st this time.
The plans Cor tbs membership cru
SADIE will be announced at the meeting
Of the board Of directors on Friday
evening. At this time arrangements
will be made to offer valuable trophies
for the various divisions of the mem
borship committee ana it is expected
that the friendly rivalry that viii be
started by these officers will result in
hundreds of new members being
brought into the association before the
close of the year. President Vincent
has taken the matter of support for
this great work up with many of the
leading manufacturers of the city and
it is certain that these men will aid
materially in advancing the work OF
= tho association.

FOR ovERGRoUND TANKS
City Attorney Has New Ordinance for
Regulation Of Oil Storing.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart has
drawn a new ordinance for the regu-
lation Of the storing of oils in the
city and it will be presented to the
city council at the next regular meet
ing. The ordinance will give the com
panies the right to store oil in over
ground tanks but it provides that these
tanks shall be surrounded by a brick
wall as high as the tank. It provides
that oil of no nature be kept in wooden
buildings. The ordinance is designed
to take care of the tanks of the Stand
ard Oil Company and it will take the
place of an ordinance presented to the
council some time ago which met with
a lot of opposition.
