May Move TO Bandon

crosman Timmons, the well known
canneryman, Of this city, and Of
Bandon, who, with his family, has just
returned to this city from there, after
a successful packing season, may
eventually move TO that country, as
his interests are growing rapidly
there. Some years ago he purchased
at a nominal figure several hundred
acres of land on the waterfront at
Bandon, and later plated and incor-
porated a large body Of it into an ad-
dition to that city. 1t is Mr.. Tim
mons intention 70 move his present
cannery to the land he owns and put
1t on the waterfront for the purposes
of commercial convenience and des-
patch, and build business block up
on the cannery site thus vacated; the

continued residence there practically
imperative And what may be As-

impending Changes in Local
Stock Houses

Manager Clarence Drown of the Or
pheum theater has been unusually busy
for the past fortnight. In addition to
his usual duties Drown has been en-
gaging people for two stock companies,
one the Ulrich stock, which goes into
the Grand opera house for the summer,
and the other a company which will
occupy the Orpheum theater in Ell Paso,
which is to be withdrawn from the reg
ular Orpheum circuit.
Robert Wayne, who has been with the
Ferris company at the Auditorium, 1t
is said, will manage the Ell Paso house,
where his position will be very similar
to that held by Ferris here, as 1t is
likely he will act as we'll as assume
managerial duties. Miss Margo Duffet
of the Burbank company also goes to
Ell Paso. So does Miss Carol Marshall,
who in private life is Mrs. Willis Marks.
1t is said the Ell Paso house will draw
several more players from Los Angeles,
and it is probable that Brenda Fowler
will go to the Texas city
Harry Van Meter is to be leading
man at the Grand, and Myrtle Selwyn
