TO TIMES READERS
The regular carrier boys of The
Times are not permitted to sell pa
pers to patrons. Tho reason for this
is that tho carriers aro given only
a sufficient number of papers to sup
ply regular subscribers and when pa
pers aro sold It impairs tho service
as regular subscribers are likely to
be missed. There Is no desire to be
arbitrary, but It Is absolutely neces
sary to nave a tixeu system in a
dally newspaper office and this is
one of the features that must be ob
served, i
Threo papers a week purchased of
boys would pay for practically the
entire subscription and give readers
a paper every day. Now is the time
to subscribe.

V. 0. W. BALL
GRAND SUCCESS
Ladies of North Bend Uphold
Their Reputation as En
tertainers. Perhaps 'twas because It was in
North Bend, where, as everyone
knowSf they have an mexhaustlble
supply of the "milk o' human kind
ness;" then again, It may have been
because of the novel and unusual rest
which the gentlemen wero enjoying
for the first time In four long years.
Doubtless It was a dash of both
coupled with tho most Important and
potent cause of all tho ladles.
Whatever the reason those who at
tended the Leap Year ball given by
the Women of Woodcraft, Saturday
night, in North Bend, were treated
to an evening, tho memories of which
will still be green, when 1912 brings
around another leap year and another
ball. An easterner once said that
tho trials of his. 4000 mile journey
and the martyrdom of tho stage trip
were all dissipated when he struck
the hospitality of North Bend. That
same hospitality which characterizes
North Bend In business hours seems
to concentrate and amplify at lfs so
cial functions. Tho ball Saturday
night was an exception in that the
usual social hospitality seemed In
tensified. The Coos Bay orchestra struck up
tho grand march promptly at 9
o'clock and from that on to tho home
waltz this premier of musical organi
zations rendered its usual excellent
selections. Not In every case did the
males adjust themselves to tho new
order of things Saturday night. Many
a hand slid down to pocket and there
was noted a sort of apologetic air
on many a face on entering the hall,
as though the owner would say,
"Well I offered him tho money. It
aint my fault that he didn't take it."
It was nice to have tho ladles fill the
programs. Nicer still when they came
your way. You wondered when you
spotted some fair ono across the hall
if she knew you wero there; if she
did, If she had seen you yet; If she
had, If she was going to ask you for
a dance. And, when, after what
seemed an age, she finally turned
round and sauntered leisurely across
the hall, you marked out of tho cor
ner of your eye that she seemed to be
looking everywhere but In your direc
tion. Then it was that your heart
began to thump, thumped louder and
louder until you wero In a sweaty
agony of fear least your neighbor
should hear it and penetrate the sham
of Indifferent calm which disguis
ed your Inward trepidation. What
a feeling of joy when you heard,
"Are your dances all taken?"
Not In every case wero the males
lionized. Many a drooping flower
reposed against tho wall as tho
dancers circled the hall., All wero
bearded flowers too. Had tho "Man
from Mars" dropped Into Eckhoff
hall Saturday night ho would have,
known without further question
that It Is the leap year period on this
planet. Tho ladles of Otlllla Circle
No. 401, Women of Woodcraft, !-
servo unstinted pralso and congratu
lations for the excellent manner ..
which they carried through th-sir ,
Leap Year ball Saturday night.

Dr. Mingus Notified That Regu
lar Government Station Will
Be Established.
Coos Bay Is at last to have a regu
lar Government Weather Bureau sta
tion. In a letter to Dr. E. Mingus,
the present voluntary local cooperat
ive observer, District Forecaster Of
ficial E. A. Beals, If Portland, says
he has at last succeeded in getting
tho bureau to mako an appropria
tion for a station on Coos Bay. Mr.
Beal says In his letter that ho ex
pects to come to Coos Bay shortly
to select a site and appoint an ob
server and requests Dr. Mingus to
make a recommendation of some
trustworthy person if he cannot
accept it himself. Tho compensation
Is not large and but two reports are
requ'red dally, ono at 5 a. m. and
another at 5 p. m.
At present the only stations on the
coast between Portland and San
Francisco aro Eureka and Tatoosh
leaving a long stretch without a
station. In commenting on the es
tablishment of tho new station tho
Portland Oregonlan says:
"Tho shipping Interests of Coos
Bay ports have developed to such an
extent that the harbor has become
one of the, shelter ports on the coast.
The government has established
buoys and aids to navigation."
The new station will be valuable
In advertising Coos Bay as Immedi
ately after being established the
name of this port will appear In all
telegraph weather reports of the
coast and all tho dally papers print
ing a summary of the weather con
ditions. Dr. Mingus has devoted so much
time as a volunteer In tho cooperat
ive branch of tho weather service
and made his records so valuable
because of their acuracy that It Is
to be hoped ho may be prevailed up
on to contlnuo as tho regular and
first official observer on Coos Bay.
