The annual "Prom" of the Marsh field High School Alumni at the I. O. O. P. Hall, last evening, was one of the most successful and most lar gely attended ever given by the as sociation and probably surpassed any similar social function ever held on Coos Bay. While the 200 or 250 present rather crowded the hall, the largo number did not detract from the pleasure of the evening. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, huckleberries being used extensively in the decoration scheme. Other features of the decora tions were festoons of Japanese lan terns, hanging baskets of rhododen drons and other flowers and a rustic fence across the stage, screening the musicians. Marshfield high school penants were also hung throughout the hall. Fred. McCormac and Tom Patter son presided at the punch bowl dur ing the evening. It was a dress affair, and most of the ladies appeared in white. While the majority of the guests were of the younger set, a number of the older ones were present. There were eighteen numbers on the program with four extras. Music was furnish ed by the Coos Bay Orchestra. EXERCISES ON FRIDAY. Iighth Grade Arranges Program For Tomorrow Afternoon. COMMENCEMENT.

Golden Gives Out Booster Interview In Portland On Business Condi tions. PORTLAND, Juno 11. C. J. Mlllls, vice-president and general manager of tho Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern Railroad & Navigation Company, Is in Portland coming here to meet his daughter, Mabel, who has returned from Cornell Univer sity, where she has taken a year In inuBlc. Mr. Millis is well known In Portland, where he was until a year ago livestock agent for the O. R. & N. Co. As manager of the Harriman property in Coos county, he makes his headquarters at Marshfield. He Is also manager for the Portland & Coos Bay steamship line and the Beaver Hill Coal Company, all Harri man properties. Coos county has, apparently, not heard of the financial depression, for Mr. Mlllls says business In general on his road has been better during the past month than during the corres ponding month of last year. The steamer business, says Mr. Mlllls, is hardly up to the traffic handled by the other interest, one reason being that the movement of traffic into the Coos county is not quite as heavy this seasons as it was last. "Our coal mines are being devel oped in great shape," said Mr. Millis. "Large quantities of the coal are be ing shipped to San Francisco by tho steamer Czarina. "The statement has been made that we are making preparations to take the steamer Breakwater off tho Portland run, but this is not the case. We shall leave tho boat on the Port land route just as long as there is traffic for her, and we certainly do not contemplate withdrawing her. The steamer has made 51 round trips bejtween Portland and tho Coos Bay ports during tho past fiscal year. There was no delay whatever at either bar. She Is the only steamer on tho Oregon coast that crossed either of the two bars on January 4 and 5 of this year, when there was exceptionally heavy weather, other vessels being bar-bound." ltENKFICIATi NOTICE TO PEOPLE OF COOS KAY VICINITY.
