Tichenor Urges It For Marshfield For Benefit of New Comers. "Marshfield should have a water front clean-up day," declared F. B. Tichenor of Portland, a former Coos Bay man and still an ardent booster of this section, who was here yester day in the interests of the Woodmen of the World of which he is the gen eral organizer. "Everybody in Marshfield should get in on it and if the owners of some of the worst looking buildings on the waterfront won't personally pay for painting them and making them presentable, raise a small fund and hire a man to white-wash them. It won't cost much and it will be worth thousands of dollars to Marshfield. "Marshfleld people don't realize the necessity of having an attractive waterfront, forgetting that every stranger who comes here must get his first impression of the city by its waterfront. Men with money who come in here got a bad impression of tho city on the start and It offsets tho effect of the great improvements that are being made In the city. I have heard a number, who have vis ited here, criticise Marshfleld severely for leaving its waterfront In the con dition that it is. "There is going to be a great In flux of people here within the next year, people from all over the country who are looking for a new location. With the new hotel, the paved streets and handsome business blocks, tho city will be able to accommodate them and keep them. It was too bad that Marshfleld wasn't better prepar ed a couple of years ago when a largo number of outsiders started coming ln. Many were displeased with the prospects and went away. "By all means, though, have a 'Waterfront Clean-up Day' and havo the boxes, lumber and waste remov ed, have the old tbulldlngs painted or whitewashed and put up a front that is ln keeping with the remainder of the city." REV. WILSON WEDS. Portnnd's Bachelor Divine Surprised Ills Friends. PORTLAND, Dec. 3. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, pastor of tho Centenary Methodist church, was married to Mrs. Maud Akin TIfft, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Akin. Tho ceremony was performed by Rev.

Dr., Wilson was for several years pastor of tho Graco Methodist Epis copal church, ln which the brido and her parents had been enthusiastic workers for a number of years. Tho new benedict was transferred to his present pastorate a year and a half ago. While rumors to tho offect that Dr. Wilson contemplated matrimony had been rite among Intimate friends of both parties for somo tlmo, these ru mors had no authoritative confirma tion. Giving up tho "lonesome life" by Dr. Wilson, however, hus caused some comment, for ho has always been regarded as a most confirmed bachelor.
