McCOY HAD AWAY WITH WOMEN ' LOS ANGELES. Dec. 8. (United Press.) There was that "some thing" about "Kid" Mc Coy which made him a favorite among the wom en. With not great cul ture or academic educa tion, the former prize ring champion nevertheless possessed a fascination which led him to the mar riage altar eight times, his conquests ending with the tragic death of Mrs. Teresa Mors "the only woman I ever loved." In 1 895, when 1 9 years of age, McCoy was mar ried first to Lottie Piehier, in Middletown, Conn. They were divorced less than two years later, and within another two years he married Julia Wood ruff. ; The course of true love was anything but smooth for them, as they were di vorced and remarried twice, the marital bark floundering finally when she. eloped to China with another man. Not downhearted, Mc Coy in 1904 married In jdiola Arnold 'of Provi dence, R. I., and in nine months was divorced, only to wed Lillian Ellis, of Paris. This affair prov ed the most lasting of all, the couple living together for three years. The "Kid's" seventh marriage occurred in Cen tral America with Edna F. Valentine jhe bride. They were divorced a year later, in 1917. For three year, Mc Coy dodged the altar, then took Dagmar Dahl gren, a Los Angeles danc er, for his eighth and last wife. They lived to gether for three days. Another marriage, with Mrs. Jacquline McDowell the bride, was arranged in 1922, but the affair fell through when, after mak ing a trip here from the east for the wedding, the bride-to-be found a letter from another woman in the "kid's" pocket. Keys' comment. Drain Storm Passed The brain storm soon passed, and In the days that followed McCoy has had much time to ponder.

COUNTY TO IIP PER CENT OF FOR ROAO MONEY To Meet With State High way Commissipn in An Effort to Secure Aid. COAST PROJECT FIRST Roads from Gardiner North and Between Reedsport and Scottsburg to Get Consideration. The county court and Attorney Oeorge Neuner, left this morning by auto for Portland where they will meet with the state highway commission in an effort to se cure state and federal cooperation on several important, road pro jects. The most Important matter con cerns the construction of that portion of the Koosevelt highway lying north and west of Gardiner, over the summit of the hill north of that coast city. The Gardiner people1 are very deeply concerned in this road, and are voting heavy taxes to apply to the construction work. A 10-mill levy will be matched by the county from the market road fund, and an effort Is to be made at the meeting with the commission to secure an equal sum from the state and govern ment, which will give between $60,- 000 ami $90,000 for this project. This road, when finally com pleted north from Gardiner, will connect with the Eugene-Florence highway, and with the Koosevelt highway completed from Marsh- field to Reedsport, an accomplish ment which Is expected within the next two years the coast road will be open across the entire west end of the county, with two connecting roads leading Into Koseburg, one from Marshfleld and ono from Reedsport, and one into Eugene from Florence, giving the coast cities the advantage of good statu highways. In addition to the work on the Gardiner road, the county is ask ing for state and government aid on 18 miles of the Reedsport Scottsburg section of the Umpqua highway. The court desires to se cure aid In graveling this section durln gthe coming summer. The grade has been completed, and as soon as the road can be surfaced It will be In shape for travel all year. The county bus spent a huge sum on the gradin got this road, and has received practically no help, an dit Is believed that both the slate and government should show some Interest In this project, be cause of Its great Importance, and the fact that the greater part of this particular project lies within the Sluslaw National Forest. The county court also expects to take, uti a number of other matters with the highway commission, and the harbor early today. There will probably outline work to bow,.re forty-five men on board the done during the coming year.

NEED RECOGNIZED Everyone Seems to Realize) Fact That Roseburg Must ' Build School If City Is to Advance. The school bond Issue Is the ab sorbing topic of conversation in Koseburg today. If there Is any material opposition to tho project It is being kept well covered, for one hears very little against tha bonds, while on tho other hand, nearly every person ia onen and free with statements concerninjj their own, personal opinions con cerning the proposed school plans. Some of the statements made by a few of the leading men and wo men of the city, ure as follows: Nathan Fullerton 1 am for tho bond issue 100 per cent. Good schools are the best asset any city can have. C. H. Heinline I believe tha reaso nthat Eugene and other like cities have advanced so rapidly ia the fact that they have furnished such fine schools. I bolleve the plan as udvanced for Roseburg will be of great advantage. Jf we have modern standard high school with a two-year college course it will be a great attraction, and a wonderful asset. We must not bo neglectful in this issue but mujt go to the polls and express our senti ments. 1. Abraham It Is true that om taxes are high, but I b-jlleve wo can still afford good schools. I am tor anything that will help tho . city, and nothing helps like schools. Harold Hudson There is no question of the need for- better schools. 1 believe in furnishing every possiblo school advantage. Kenneth Qulne We need better schools and must have them. There Is no other way out than til vote the bond Issue and provide the necessary room to relieve our congestion. If Eugene can build two Junior high schools, as she has done, Koseburg can certainly pro vide one. Carl K. Wlmberly I believe in giving children the very best pos siblo in tho way of education. If added grades are established in our schools It will be of vast bene fit to the city. A. J. Hochradel The bond Is sue is neceHsury and Is going to carry, and should i-nry by a big majority. Wu lnus nelgect our schools. Wo must them and we ure going to hae : lit-m. D. 1). Mathews Good schools are nn absolute necessity. Nothing Is going to build up the city like supplying this need. It will bring hundreds of people into the city and Improve every line of busi ness. L. L. Crocker The congested condition of our BrhoolH win rants and demands u new building. We must bo iiiokii ssing in our schools. Tli' junior high school Is badly needed as the hardest part of educating a child is getting him fiom lliu 81 h grade intu the high school. This plan solves that problem, and bridges the gap, and gives tho child a good education without a break. U would be a crime If a tity with the assets and resources of Roseburg should be timid about, bonding to the limit to provide good schools. S. L. Kidder The bond Ibsuo !s u fine thing and 1 will support it. I do not see nny grounds lor op- . position. With good schools th city Is bound to Increase.
