ST. Johns, N. F., April 24.-The grand

SLEPT THlRTY-slx DAYS.
Remarkable Experience of Lena Hansen
of The Dalles.


Lena Hansen, who left The Dalles for
the hospital in Portland several weeks
ago, has just finished a remarkable sleep
of thirty-six days. In that time she has
become very pale and thin, and fears
were entertained that she would die
while in that comatose state. An Ore
gonian reporter has visited her, and asI
certained many interesting facts.
The extraordinary feature about Miss
Ransen's case is that sue is not in
state of coma, not uncommon condi-
tion, but that she is actually sleeping,
just as any person sleeps who is reading
this. only she does not awaken. And,
during her thirty-six days. nap she has
so wasted away as to be little more than
skin and bones.
Miss Hansen is a young lady 20 years
old, native of Denmark. For the last
two and half years she has been living
at The Dalles, and up to March oath she
earned livelihood by doing household
work for families of that vicinity.
About o'clock on the afternoon of
March 25th MISS Hansen was brought
to the Good Samaritan hospital. When
Mrs. Wakeman, the superintendent of
the hospital, came into the receiving
room she found Miss Hansen, accom-
panied by Miss Sophie Ebbersen, a
bright and attractive young country
woman of hers, and Mrs. Wilson, of the
city board of charities. Mrs. Wilson,
informed the superintendent that Miss
Hopron poadod bOoDitol fraofuaDf aDd
as she had very little money, Secretary
Walpole, of the city board of charities,
wished to have her cared for during one
week at the city's expense. Miss Eb-
berson, who had brought the girl down
from The Dalles, then explained that
Miss Hansen was suffering from pecul-
lar ailment, which affected her so that
strange craving had come over her only
in the last month, said Miss Ebbersen,
during which time it had become almost
impossible to keep her awake. The
Dalles family in which she did house,
work managed to get her up sometimes
at noon, but oftener not until afternoon.
And yet she went to bed early in the
evening. ''Dr. Shackleford of Tie
Dalles treated her for it. She. however,
would not take his medicine, and so,
after short while, he said that she had
better go to hospital in Portland.
That Is how came to bring her down. %
After working with her in various
ways the Portland doctors succeeded in
lawaking her, but she yet lies in stupor
with eyes wide open and seldom re-
Ysponds to question.
From yesterday Oregonian additional
particulars are learned concerning Miss
fHansen. She was moved Saturday
i morning in the hospital ambulance to
/ the Portland hospital at Sunnyside.
The cold water baths prescribed by DIR.
Saylor, so far as he was able to note,
have had wonderful effect upon the
Vgirl, and yesterday morning she volun-

NO LOCKS TO FRET ABOUT
If the River Rises Unusually Rieh,
Which Is Threatened.

The minds of the citizens of EASTERN
Oregon have been racked and troubled
for months past over the to-be or not-to-.
be of the locks at the cascades, and now
new danger looms mp to totally ami
hilate hope as to the Columbia ever
proving waterway for the commerce of
the Inland Empire. After more than
twenty years of effort, the expenditure
O. appropriation on appropriation, the
o:t-repeated promises that the compile
ton of the locks was practically an ac-
complished fact, and when latterly we
have been assured that they could even
now pass boats, the entire work stands
in great danger of being lost by the COM
ing rise OF the Columbia river. When
the food of 1894 occurred, it was con-
sidered an unparalleled event, and that
it would not occur again during the life
time of anyone now living. The pres
ent conditions, are, however, Indicative
of a rise equal to that of 1894. The river
SO far this spring has been but very
few feet above low water mark; the sea-
son is close at hand when the great
amount of surplus water must pass
through the channel, and still the
weather is cold and the river low. -
Mt is a conceded fact that another un-
usually high water will destroy the
locks. This time there will be no one
there to fight the destructive current.
The men are gone and the Days have no
longer even passing interest in them.
Such inroads were made in 1894 that
the bank next the river would fall an
easy prey to the erosive action of the
water. 1t will tear away and destroy
the bank, and finally working in behind
the walls they will melt beneath the
food as if they were wax. The situa-
| tion will then be worse than if the work
was never begun, for there will be no
foothold left to again construct them.
Twenty-Five years of effort, of the peo-
ple's wasted money, of hopes and fears,
of jobbery in high places, of dilatoriness,
of false assertions and fictitious repre-
sentations will have come to logical
end. Great is government of the peo-
pie by the people to the people.

MI. william vaubibber Stopped In the
Road by a wonld-be RObber.

Road by q WOuld-De KODber.
Mr.. William Vanbibber, who has
driven a milk wagon for about thirty
years, from his ranch to The Dalles, was
held up about 1 80 O'Clock Sunday morn
idg while on his way in. He was
ordered to stop, and Mr.. Vanbibber did
go, not realizing it was a command, and
thinking it was some friend of his. He
was undeceived when he was ordered to
throw up his hands, and he refused to
do it, though pistol was thrust at him,
pointing toward his leg. The order was
repeated, and this time was accom-
panied by blow with the pistol across
the feshy part of the leg. Mr.. Van
bibber has for the past few months car
ried weapon, but he did not have it on
this trip. He. however, expressed de-
fiance, and whipping his horse. started
briskly off. After he had gone about 20
feet, a pistol shot was fred, and the
horse crouched down as if shot. He was
probably Creased" that is the ball
passed so closely to his head, that the
effect is temporarily the same as if shot.
He recovered and started again, when
another shot was fired with the same
effect. Four or five shots were fired,
bringing the horse to stand each time
until the last, when he went ahead.
4, Mr.. Vanbibber said he did not get
view of the face of the hold-up, but was
confident of the voice, and later swore
out warrant for the arrest of well
known young man, whose name we are
requested not to mention until the result
of the preliminary trial, 80 that in case
the defendant is discharged the publicity
may be no greater than possible.
A preliminary trial was held this
afternoon, at which Mr.. Vanbibber swore
to the identity of the pistol and the
voice of his assailant.

ELEMENTS OF ROMANCE
In the Story Back of the Application for a
Change In the War Record of j, L. Gar

-" '"o o'oiy Ddch OF inc Appl1CatlOn TOT u
Change In the War Record of j, L. Gar
rlson.
Special to the Register.
Washington, D. c., April 17.-There
is romantic story connected with the
bill which Representative Dovener in
troduced in the House yesterday au-
thorizing the Secretary of War to cor
rect the military record of j. l.. Garri-
son, OF Jolleytown, Greene county, Pa,
and grant him an honorable discharge.
Garrison enlisted in Company F, Sew
enth West Virginia Volunteers, in Sep
TENDER, 1861, when about % years Of
age, leaving his mother and his young
er brother TO manage a farm of some
seven hundred acres, the father being
dead. While the eldest son was in the
service of the Union the mother and her
younger children were having hard
struggle with adverse circumstances at
home. Finally the mother fell sick
and the young soldier felt compelled to
go home TO look after her and his
younger brothers and sisters. BY an
arrangement with the officers Of the
regiment, as set forth in affidavits filed
in the case, young Garrison was allow
ed to put substitute in his place. This
occurred in June. 1862. The substi-
tute's name was John Kennedy, and he
took Garrison's place and name in the
regiment. appearing as ]. L. Garrison
on the roll and so reporting at roll
call. But in the winter of 1928, Ken
nedy became sick and was sent to a
hospital, where he died. But even in
death he was known TO the officers of
the regiment as ]. l.. Garrison, and on
the roll the latter was marked as dead.
So the record has stood in the War De-
partment for thirty-four years. Now,
however, Mr. Garrison, who is 5S years
of age, wants the record corrected and
certificate of honorable discharge is
sued to him by the Secretary Of War.
He has sent to Congressman Dovener
the affidavits of several neighbors who
served with him in the Seventh West
Virginia regiment, and who testify to
the circumstances attending his enlist
ment, the employment OF the substi-
tute John Kennedy, the fact that the
latter responded to the name of Garri-
son and that on Kennedy's demise in
the hospital 1t was Garrison who was
marked as dead on the rolls Of the
regiment.
