possessions. Her father came to town
the other day with the "iniendcd hus-
band, and procured marriage license,
filing his written consent, for the child
is only II years OF age-much too young
10 become wife. lie then sought the
daughter, who was working in respect.
able place, and he informed her that
she must quit work at once and marry
the said man. She quit work but de-
INJURED to a marriage, ,at present, at least.
She said she did not want to get mar.
ricd that the intended husband had
b b'tter earn SOME money to provide Il
home before lac married any woman.
At this the parent told her she never
could come home again, aud that hc
would have her committed b the reform
school NJ Salem II she did not obey him.
OF course this was big bluff, rs the re-
form school does not take girls. Then
u single sister, older, and an aunt took
her part, and advised her to remain
firm. Then the father declared she
should not work out nor come home.
At this time the young girl is master
OF the situation and states that she will
work ont and support her self.

HURRAH FOR REED
Salmon Will Not Much Longer Be Shut
Out Of the Willamette.
With Little Blasting Of Rock Chinook
Can Come Over the Falls at
Oregon City.
Astoria News. oct l.

Astoria News. Oct. T.
Fish Commissioner Reed made an in
spection Of the fish ladder at the VILLAIN
ette Falls yesterday. He is Of the opin-
ion that with the expenditure Of about
$500 the 6shway can be made to serve
the purpose for which il was built more
effectively. However, nothing in the
way Of improvement will be done until
the condition of the appropriation to
that end, made several years ago is as
certaned. No work will likely be done
on the ladder this fall Only small
amount Of the money appropriated by
the state toward the construction Of the
Willamette falls ladder has yet been ex-
pended. An examination Of the ladder
shows that at present there is not
enough water coming over the ladder to
allow salmon TO ascend, but since Chi
hooks are not running now it makes lit
tie difference. Some blasting will have
TO be done in one or two Of the rock
benches so that the rests for the salmon
may be unbroken.
