Seattle Priest Offers Free Stove and
Wood to Amy Couple that
Will Marry.

Seattle, Nov. 24.-A cord of wood
and heating stove to burn it in
await any young couple who will go
to Father E. P. Lorigan, pastor of
st. Edwards church, at Hillman, to
be married. Since the recent finan-
cial furry and the discovery of an
alleged fuel combine in Seattle, sew
eral of the matrimonially inclined
swains at Hillman have become tim
i'd and have expressed an inclina-
ton to postpone their marriage ar
rengements. Father Lorigan's boun-
teous offer is given in the way of
encouragement.
Father Lorigan is believer in
large families and many of them.
He thinks that every young man and
woman should marry as early as pos
sible. Consequently the apparent
bashfulness and timidity of several
of the marriageable men with whom
he has come in contact worries him,
and he has made the foregoing offer
to his congregation in an effort to
counteract the evil influences at
work.
81 don't think that small salary,
a fuel shortage or little thing like
a Wall street panic should deter
persons, who are otherwise qualified
for marriage from entering into the
contract" he said last night. "Seat-
tie young men appear to be afraid
and I want to encourage them.

right along to me-ffty week If

WORKING BOY

Willie Baker Wants the Money He

In Justice Palmer's court this
morning a story of human interest
was enacted, the players icing Wr.

Irish potatoes we're the theme.
1t developed that Gabe had hired
the Baker boy to dig potatoes for
him, at so much per sack.
Renner says that the contract
price was 10 cents sack; the boy
claims it was 20 cents.
1t is on this point that they cisa-

FIND HUMAN
SKELETON

Road Supervisor ]. P. RAIDER re-
ports the discovery of a portion of
the skeleton of a human being last
week in the vicinity of Lost River,
over which stream he was repairing
a bridge.
Three hunters came to his camp
there and reported the finding of the
skelton of a man north of Goat wall,
an almost perpendicular wall Of
rock extending some distance along
the north bank of the south fork of
the Methow, about twenty-five miles
north of here. The hunting party
found several of the bones of skel-
eton, among which was the skull.
Close by was pair of shoes and an
old 1910 Winchester rife with the
sights broken off. There seemed to
be nothing by which the identity OF
the man could be ascertained From
the appearance of the bones 1t Is
probable the unfortunate victim met
death some years ago. The gun was
somewhat battered up, indicating
the possibility that the man may
have had conflict with, .but was over
powered by some beast of the wild.
No recollection of the older settlers
recalls the missing OF any person
from the valley, and 1t is probable
the man was a stranger and lost his

JOSEPH BROWN
IN DISGRACE

Mr.. Joseph Brown, journeying to
a salubrious southern cline to es-
cape the rigors of a Spokane winter,
arrived in Wenatchee yesterday, en-
route to Seattle.
The police found him asleep in one
of Jims side-door Pullman's.
He promptly produced the money
when Judge Palmer said SO. Where

features of the venerable jurist, who
needed the money and was sorry he
did not say "ten" instead of SO.

THERE'S SOMETHING
DOING JUST NOW.

Present movements indicate that
there is something doing just now in
l. & G. n. railroad circles, or at least
something is expected to happen.
Some say it will eliminate in a re-
ownership for the road, and there is
much speculation as to what certain
movements mean.
General Auditor Maury, so it is re-
ported. has been called to New York,
and report has it that he was accom-
panied by Judge N. A. Stedman. the
general attorney for the road. Last
night Mr.. Leroy Trice went north, and
it is said his destination is New
York. That means there is q confer
ence on there.
That the railroad property is badly
run down the officials themselves do
not deny. 1t is a further fact that
the road is laying off employees, and
retrenching in a way never before
done in its history. The last quarter
ly reports says there was a very large
deficit in its operation.
The hope is expressed by many
that the road will so get its affairs
shaped up as to become normal again
With all it's other troubles the rail-
road commission has ordered an in
sDection of its properties. rolling
stock, road-bed. etc.

Governor Hopes to Solve Difficulty of

Washington Dispatch to the Baltimore

Senator Clay. of Georgia, said to-
day that an effort is to be made to
get the Senate to settle the status Of
his colleague, Senator A. O. Bacon,
before The close of the present session
on March 4. Senator Clay said that
he had heard from the governor Of
Georgia and had been advised that he
proposed to appoint Mr. Bacon sena-
tor for the period between March 4
and the time when the Georgia legis.
lature meets in June.
Seldom has Senator been placed
in the peculiar position in which Sena-
tor Bacon will be after March 4. I'm
til recent years it has been the Gus
tom for the Georgia legislature TO meet
early in the spring. A constitutional
amendment was adopted putting off
the time until June. Senator Bacons
term expires March 4. Under the
amended constitution there is doubt
whether the governor can call a spe-
#ciai session OF the legislature to elect.

clared for Bacon's election, yet the
