LABOR DAY IS
BIG SUCCESS
Rain Didn't Detract From Cele
bration In North
Bend.
A slight rain was the only thing
that marred the celebration of Labor
Day by Coos Bay at North Bend yes
terday and it did not detract to any
extent from the success of the event.

turned in the morning from Portland.
Just as soon as L. A. Hughes and
other members of the committee in
charge of the day's events heard of
his presence, they waited on him and
insisted that ho say a few words and
he graciously agreed to do so. His
son, Mayor L. J. Simpson of North
Bend, delivered the address of wel
come. While the talks of the father
and son, who are generally recogniz
ed as the builders of North Bend,
were brief, they carried assurances
that the two were ever willing and
ready to aid in any movement that
would benefit the laboring man's
condition. Both were optimistic as
to the future and were roundly ap
plauded by the large audience who
had assembled for the speaking in
the pavilion.
James Barrio of Marshfield,
mnrshal of the day, presided as chair
man of the meeting and others who
had made brief talks were C. A.
Strickland and R. G. Summerlln.
The athletic program was an in
teresting feature of the day and
while the number of events necessi
tated the pulling off of some of them
In the rain, a large crowd remained
to see them. All were more or less
warmly contested with a large num
ber of entries. It was after G o'clock
before L. A. Hughes, the official
starter, said go in the last event.
