THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY )Q, 1912 - EVENING EDITIOW r 4 illT WORK Off THE CONTEST THE SIUSLAW Some Favor and Some Oppose Archie Johnson Says Pacific Most Porju ar Bade or Idea i Great western Let worK Plan For Ball. ' There linvc been a number of responses to the inquiry relative to the most popular bnchelor con'est. Some linvo conimcncetl the sugges tion ami some hnve opposed It Pend ing further expressions, the matter will bo held In abeyance. The Lcnp Year ball Is now the men Out Near Florence. That the I'ncltlc Great Western has laid oft all Its men In the surveying crews on the lower Sluslnw and nlso at work on the tunnel was the In formation brought here by Archie Johnson, a well-known Marshflcld traveling mnn, who returned last evening from a trip to Florence nnd Mnplcton. He said thnt the news or center of interest. It Is reported to-1 ,'.' .' . ,,,, ,,- ...,, . -..-, dny thnt the event will witness more causing much l,.,.. nn.ir rxiivna tlintl linVd LT11C- i..v. handsome now gowns tbnn hnve grnc od any soclnl function on the Hay In many months. Whether a rival ry Is being developed between tho bachelor maldcnB and Is manifesting Itself In new gowns Is a question. It Is said thnt very few of the now gowns will bo silken ones. Tho Lcnp Year Editor continues to receive reports of bncholors who have been overlooked In the compi lation of the first lists. Today, at tention was called to the fact thnt C. W. Wolcott nnd J. D. Sneddon, two of tho best known bnchelors In Marshflold. had not been Included In , the list. How the Leap Yenr Editor overlooked them Is something dim-1 cult to explnln but It Is Intimated I thnt at least one Coos liny mnlden has not overlooked one of them In casting nbrut to tako advantage of Leap Year, now audit IT, OSCAR? Leap Yenr Editor: Whot'H the matter with Oscar Ou loveon? A good bachelor, n good fellow nnd would make a good hus band. He Is modest nnd retiring nnd rnn lecture. Some thought It was for good and others Just n tempora ry delay. No one appears to know there. This confirms tho announcement mndo hero Inst Saturday by L. A. Sumner, son of Vice-president Sum ner of tho Pacific Const lino which Is allied with tho Pacific Great West ern. L. A. Sumner has been chief engineer of the Pacific Coast Line. Ho Is expected bnck tomorrow from Gnrdlner with his wife. They will lenve shortly, .Mrs. Sumner going to New Orleans where her parents re side. Aside from this, no further news of the censing of operations on the Sumner projects hns been received here. Some hnve been claiming thnl the report wns merely n "stnll" but as L. A. Sumner gave some of his closest friends nnd nssoclntes on tho Uny the same Information thnt ho gave The Times, this view does not seem to be well substantiated. Mr. .Johnson says that the Pacific Great Western only had twolvo men nt work clenrlng right of wny for tho tunnel. Ho snys that tho Southern Pacific hnd 175 men nt work on the norhmis that's why he hns been over looked, but tho leap year girls will t cm, ()f t)l(? tlnno, nm, ,lml the work well started .-,. ...Intnl.
