SOCIAL
EVENTS

A VELOCITY" surprIse.

ANN"NJ
Saturday evening the inhabitants of
South Salem, or those were looking
out about 8 o'clock we're quite startled
by seeing a large number of ghostly
forms moving silently up Commercial
street. Each figure wore a long white
robe and pointed hood and mask.
They moved out toward the cemetery
and up to the home of G. L. Johnson,
where they entered and gathered
around the object Of their search, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Marley the newly
welded couple, and took them com.
pletely by surprise. After the surprise
had rather worn away, they were in.
vited into the parlors and entertained.
The identity of the ghostly visitors
was not revealed until nearly half the
evening had worn away, when they
discovered it was a party of their
friends. The remainder of the even
ing was pleasantly spent in playing
Shadows" BLOW the Feather" and
different games, and the evening
wound up with a good, o~ld-fashioned
.taffy-pull. 1t was quite late when
the merry crowd dispersed.

IS IN TOWN
w. III. Bancroft Arrives From
Salt Lake to Take Charge
of the Southern Pacific
HAS A BIG TERRITORY
Expects to Assume Duties
Resigned by c. I'll. Markham
on or About November 15

w. H. Bancroft, who has been ap-
eral manager Of the Western system
Of the Southern Pacific Company
pending the selection of a permanent
successor to c. H. Markham, arrived
here yesterday from Salt Lake City
and is staying at the Palace Hotel.
He will assume his duties here on or
about November 15fand in the mean
time he will give his attention to busi-
ness matters of a personal character.
Bancroft is now general manager of
the Union Pacific road west of Green
River, the Oregon Short Line as far as
Huntington and of that portion of the
Southern Pacific east of Reno, so that
in assuming the management of the
Southern Pacific lines from this city to
the Oregon State line, Reno and FL
Paso, he adds a considerable burden
10 his present responsibilities.
Among railroad men throughout the
country Bancroft is regarded as very
capable operating official and it would
not surprise many, Notwithstanding
stories to the contrary, if he was even
tually made a permanent general
manager of the Southern Pacific. He
said yesterday that he was absolutely
without information as to who is to be
General Manager Markham's perma-
nent successor. Bancroft has made
frequent trips to San Francisco during
the time he has been connected with
the Hartman lines and is familiar
with the system which is soon to be
given over to his charge. He was ac-
companied to this city by 1. o. Rhodes,
purchasing agent of the Oregon Short
Line.
