MAID ACCEPTS.
Miss Cora Harrington Goes
From Indiana to Join
Her Lover in Honolulu
CHILDHOOD ROMANCE

All Saturday morning pretty Cora
Harrington. a dainty Indiana miss. sat
shyly in the parlor of the ST Francis
Hotel. Her heart pounded happily
within her for she was the central >ng-
ure of love tale that would turn green
with envy any romantically inclined
girl.
She had received a proposal of mar
riage by cable she had answered yes"
over the same wire. and she was on
her way, alone, to sail half across the
Pacific to meet the man she loved at
Honolulu.
She would look up at the St Francis
clock now and again and sigh content
edly. for every minute that il ticked
off brought closer the sailing time of
the Alameda, on which she was to sail
to the wedding altar in strange island.
At 10 O'Clock she rose quickly, smiled
a sweet good-by to the bell boys and
took a carriage to the Oceanic Steam
ship Corpany's dock. AT II she sailed
for Honolulu.
Cora harrington is from Rushville.
Indiana When she was a wee slip of
a school girl she knew a youngster of
the next block named Charlie Bailey
They were boy and girl lovers A few
years later Charlie Bailey. grown into
Charles Bailey, left Rushville to go out
into the world and see what fortune
had in store for him. He wandered
about and finally went to Honolulu
where he went to work on a plantation
Several years passed and he was ap-
pointed manager. He thought of his
schoolgirl sweetheart and wrote her a
long letter. She replied and he wrote
again Then he cabled, told her his
love at as cents a word and asked her
to come to Honolulu and marry him.
She cabled back, Yes Will sail Sep
tennber 22," and took train out of In
diana She hoped to catch the Siberia,
but missed that ship by a day.
Bailey is the manager of a 3900-acre
plantation near Honolulu. He is the
son OF DR.. Robert Bailey of Rushville,
Indiana The wedding will take place
next week.

GOULDS co AFTER
OREGON TRADE.

There is no longer any doubt in the
minds of local railroad men that the
Goulds will build branch line run
ming from the western Pacific to tap
the rich Oregon country and have it's
terminus on the Portland water front
The gathering of Gould men at Port
land last week and the sending of en-
gineering corps on secret surveys
through Oregon and Nevada point con-
clusively, say railroad experts, to the
determination of Gould to divide the
freight business of the north and not
let Hartman capture il all.
J. H. McClement of New York, the
financial agent of the Goulds, has been
In Portland for three weeks A B.
Hammond is with McClement- w. J..
Shotwell. vice president of the Western
Pacific, joined the party last Saturday.
Al corps of engineers has also arrived
in Portland and seems to be under the
direction of Shotwell.
In the meantime Hartman is rush
ing work on the lines he IS construct
ing into new territory. He has set
aside more than .s4,000.000 for the ex-
tension of the Weed line through the
klamath country. The road from
Drain to Coos Bay, which is to be ex-
tended to Eureka, is also to be com
pleted as soon as men enough to do
the work can be found Hartman has
set aside more than $12.o00,000 for new
work which he hopes to finish within
two years.

BRICK PILES LURE
SOLDIER BOYS.

A grave problem is facing the mill
tary authorities in this city Soldiers
are deserting in large numbers. and the
reason given for the increase in aban-
doning the colors is said to be due to
the fact that employment agents do not
hesitate to lure men from Uncle Sam
by offers of big pay for small services
Around the Preside gates and at the
entrance to Fort Mason and other posts
these enterprising cleaners of men may
be seen daily and heard to paint to the
SIS a month soldier the brighter side
of civilian life. as can be noticed by
working among the ruins. These agents
argue in this style:
Why do you want TO work for the
Government and be treated like child
for SIS a month when you can make 50
a day for simply loading a few bricks
on TO a wagon; and then you can get a
Job any day for IS day sitting down
and chipping the mortar on the bricks.
There is nobody watching you and
progging you in the back with bay
onet to see that you keep your head
and shoulders straight
"A soldiers life is a dogs lifel Why,
man, you can get drunk and stay drunk
and when you get sober you are not
marched to a guard house and then set
doing housemaids' work, cleaning up
the grounds and tidying up the oficers
quarters. who are never sober half the
time. Come along and quit the bloom
ing life OF a soldier boy"
The soldier is not "a thinking ami
NAL" He listens to the voice of the
charmer. and the first thing he does is
to desert. 1t is all very well for the
first few days. But the soldier who has
soidiered for any length of time is
childlike and bland. In other words
he is accustomed to being looked after.
fed, clothed and nursed, and though at
first his new found liberty has its
charms he rapidly repents and starts
the path with a bottle as his COM
panion.
Army officers were perpiexed as to
what they should DO here. But they
found that II the situation had its per-
plexities in San Francisco it was ten
times worse when they were doing
war stunts" by the shores OF American
Lake in the State of Washington.
AS is well known the great North
west is in the middle Of a full iedged
boom. Several hundred millions OF dol
lars are TO be spent in that region in
railroads and other enterprises, and
men are scarce. The employment agen-
cies, who are offered big bonuses for
men, found that they had at their
hands an army to draw from.
Doing war stunts" is not so agree
able to the performer OF the stunt as
the onlooker. General Funston was In
command of the maneuvers, which were
on a grand scale, and as one-third of
the fighting force was on the field. men
and officers were expected to distin-
guish themselves in "the play war" as
they would in the real game"
There were desertions by the whole
sale. Company commanders saw their
ranks thinning day by day. Noncom-
missioned officers, who had only a few
months to serve. disappeared, and men
who had recently enlisted followed suit
The desertions were checked, how
ever, by allowing unusual privileges
to the men.
