ROMANTIC LIFE STORY
OF SPOKANE WOMAN

SPOKANE, May 27.-Like a story
from the fairy tales of Hans Christian
Andersen, has been the romance of
Mrs. D. c. Corbin, who returned to
the city Wednesday evening follow
ing her marriage to the well-known
capitalist and railroad builder in
Mount Vernon, n Y, few days ago.
The daughter of a farmer in rural
part of Sweden, it is about twenty
years since she came to this country
and she has resided in the home of
Mr.. Corbin most of the time since
reaching Spokane about twelve years
ago. She became his housekeeper.
Ambitious, she at once began to mas
ter the English language.
Six years ago she married Antoine
Peterson. Their life was unhappy
and four years ago she was divorced
at Tacoma. She saved and invested
her wages and was sent to New York
to be educated. For year she trav-
eled extensively through Europe I'M
der the guidance of a teacher
In the meantime she had CORES
pended with Mr.. Corbin. Intimate
friends were aware of this growing
attachment, and it was quietly re-
ported nearly three years ago that
he had nronosed marriage fo he- and
that she would probably become his
wife. Sc finally gave her consent to
the proposal.
At the time of the first rumor that
Mr.. Corbin intended to wed his beau
tiful housekeeper. his daughter,
countess of Oxford, with her husband,
the earl of Oxford, were in Spokane
at the Corbin mansion, and it is be-
lieved the countess exerted great in
fluence against the engagement.

Diggers Find Waterville Ruins.

News Dispatch Date April 3, 1865.
While excavating in the old Big
Bend country for the Wenatchee and
Northern Railway laborers today I'M
earthed the ruins of many old stone
and brick foundations. Much broken
glass, crockery, etc. was found, in
dicating that human settlement
once occupied the site. Old residents
recall a hamlet named Waterville
which flourished in this locality half
a century ago, and these ruins are
supposed to be the last trace of the
once thriving little village. A quar-
rel with the nearby city of Wenatchee
resulted in Waterville being abandon
ed by it's citizens, most of whom even
tually moved to Wenatchee.

As a rule, editors are the first to

BOOMING WENATCHEE AT SPO.
KANE.

This summer big c. E. conven-
ton meets in Seattle.
Many will come via Spokane, stop
ping off for a few hours.
Hundreds and hundreds of eastern
people will attend; many will come
to see the country, taking advantage
of the low rates.
Yakima has plan for advertising
itself at this meeting. 1t proposes to
send boosters to catch the delegates
as they alight from the trains, Of
fering baskets of specially prepared
Yakima fruit to all who wear the
badge, so that the newcomers learn
all about Yakima.
Touching the suggestion that We
natchee do something of this sort,
through its Commercial Club, the
Spokesman-Review says:
What North Yakima is on the Nor
thern Pacific Wenatchee is on the
Great Northern, and both are synony-
nous with great fruit production.
With an enterprising spirit that does
them credit the citizens of these
places do not propose to wait until
the delegates reach them. They want
to prepare them in advance. so that
they will take greater notice as thew
pass through and be able to appreci-
ate the vista of fruitful orchards that
will meet their gaze.
The idea is a good one. In the
stops made at Spokane this CITY will
itself have much to show the visitors.
but there will be time and oppor-
tunity for others as well. It is de-
sirable that all of the thousands of
delegates who are coming to the
Christian Endeavor and Baptist
Young People conventions during
the summer should learn as much as
they can about the whole of this
great Inland Empire, and that their
interest should not be confined to anv
one locality or one city. They are
not looking for homes though it is
not improbable that some of them
VIII be tempted to locate here after
they have seen the country. But
they will certainly talk about the
country on their return east, and
what they will have to say will be in
strumental in directing others west
ward.
