Succe SIS in business is not to be reached
nowadays in the easv.going method that
obtained Il generation or two ago. Times
have changed, and people have changed
with them. Push is the only thing that
will carry man ahead, and it is the live
Hest pusher that gets there first. AS a
general rule, the chronic l.usher is a
chronic advertiser. Printers ink is the
lubricating oil OF his business wheels, and
he never allows them to lag or creak for
the want of it. Hard times and poor
business are incentive to increasing his
advertising, rather than any argument to
him for cutting it down. 1t will pay the
semi-occasional advertiser to ponder over
the pusher's uccess.-Printers Ink.
The body OF Mary Schweitzer, an IS
year old girl, was found in the boom of
the N. w. Lumber Co., at Hoquiam, last
Thursday. The unfortunate girl had been
missing from home about 10 days, and it
was supposed she had gone to the Sound.
When the body was found the theory OF
suicide obtained, but post-mortem ex-
animation made at the coroner's inquest
on Friday revealed the fact that death
was not caused by drowning. AS the
skull was crushed she is believed to have
been murdered and thrown in the river.
The jury returned verdict OF death from
unknown causes. A number OF lnmors
have been afoat in connection with the
case, since the post-mortem revealed that
the girl had been enciente. Circumstan'
tial evidence pointed strongly to Clarence
Davenport as the author OF her downfall,
il not the cause OF her death, and he was
taken into custody Sunday on the charge
of seduction. He will have an examina-
ton tomorrow, when the sad affair will
be probed to the bottom and every effort
made to discover the murderer OF the I'M
fortunate girl.
Hoquiam authorities were worked up
over two homicides reported as occurring
