PORTLAND, Dec. 3. The Tele

Steamship Company, Marshfleld, was
a passenger on the Breakwater from
Coos Bay last night. Mr. Millis is
here to look into the business pros
pect at this end of the line for the
season. For awhile there was talk
that the company would place an
other steamer in service between
Portland and Coos Bay. It is said that
this plan has not been wholly aban
doned. There appears to bo only
one drawback in Carrying out such a
programme and that is because of
the light southbound shipments. Re
turning the Breakwater has been
bringing from 300 to 400 tons of coal
during the past month or so. On
this trip 300 tons of the fuel and
3000 cases of salmon. She also had

ROSEBURG AND
WATER FRONT
F, B. 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."

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

by Dr. Wilson, however, hus caused
some comment, for ho has always
