large timber contract entered
into a few weeks ago by Mr.. Mar
tin with the Bunker Cutler Lumber
of Bunker, whereby
Mr.. Martin is to work of the hub
on 10000 acres of land con-
trolled by the Bunker Cutler COM
pany. This extensive contract
will cover a run of about a million
requiring six or seven years
to complete. Mr.. Martin has
already chosen a mill site in Bunk
er. All his timber will come to
him by railroad. The Bunker
Cutler Lumber Company is now
building fifteen miles of tram road
reaching to various parts of their
land. Mr.. Bunkeris a progressive
business man who believes in
pushing things for all they are
worth, and the remarkable pro-
gress being made at Bunker is
almost altogether a result of his
individual initiative and strong
personality. With the big lumber
and hub interests both running
there, Bunker is destined to be-
come a town of increased import

An engagement OF unusual in
terest in local society, which was
announced yesterday, is that of
Miss Dorothy Shapleigh and Leo
deS. Carton. The announcement
was made through the medium of
notes from Miss Shapleigh to a
few of her most intimate friends,
and came as a complete surprise
to many. Since her debut two
years ago she has been one of the
most popular girls in society and
has treated her many admirers
with such genuine impartiality
that her friends find it difficult to
believe that she has all the time
favored one more than the others.
The date for the wedding has not
been set and no plans will be
made for some time out of respect
to the memory of Mrs. Philip G.
who was a cousin of Mr..
Carton. The ceremony will take
place in late October or early No
vember, however, and will be one
of the notable events of the fall
social seasons. Miss Shapleigh is
the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard w. Shapleigh, of West
Pine boulevard, and her marriage
to Mr.. Carton will be the union of
two of st. Louis's Oldest families.
Carton is the son of the late
John F. Carton and is one of the
firm of Carton & Carton, brokers.
