DROWNED SUNDAY
AT KNAPP1ON
CHARLIE PETERSEN FALLS
BETWEEN TWO LOGS WHICH
CLOSE OVER HIS HEAD WITH
FATAL RESULTS.

At high noon on Sunday last,
Charlie, the l2-year-oId son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Petersen, Of Knapp
ton, lost his life il the river there,
while playing over some logs. The
little fellow was standing with one
foot on each Of two logs, when they
separated and let him down into the
water, swinging back together and
forming barrier over his head when
he sought to come up His boyish
companions, in their great freight
made no attempt to rescue him but
rushed away for assistance, which
when it came was too late to revive
the lad, though every effort was
made in that direction.
One man dove twice and searched
for the body, and it was found a few
moments later by neighbor with a
spike-pole, and brought to the sur
face, and, after repeated attempts at
resuscitation, the remains we're
brought over to this city. DR.. A. A.
Finch met the boat at the docks and
made additional efforts to bring back
the spark Of life, but, Of course. with
out avail, and was taken to the I'M
dertaking parlors of w. C, A. Pohl,
and there prepared for burial. Later
in the day the body was sent across
the river to the saddened home at
and the funeral will take
place there this afternoon.

Still Unfound-

|. B. Elbon, manager OF the Column
bia mills at Knappton, was in the city
yesterday morning on business. He
says that no trace has ever been
found of his son who was drowned
some months ago from an open boat
midway between this city and his
home. He is certain that the body
has been caught in some debris, and
that it has been slowly covered by
the drifting sands of the June rise,
and that after the water subsidies to
normal flow these accretions will
gradually wash away and the body be
released and recovered.

FOLLOW THE Line OF
WATER LEVEL
GAME OF RAILWAY BUNco
THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON
FOR YEARS-TIME THE PEo-
PIE WERE LET IN.

The barrier formed near the west
coast Of the United States by the
Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains
is pierced in but one place, and that
is on the line between Oregon and
Washington, where the Columbia has
forced its way through, thereby form
ing water level grade from the "In-
and Empire" as the country lying
between the Rocky mountains on the
east and the Cascade mountains on
the west Is known TO the mouth of
the Columbia. We are told that one
engine can bring IS to so cars from
east Of the mountains to the mouth of
the Columbia as easily as two engines
can axe ten or twelve cars over the
mountains to the Pnget Sound coun-
try Ii this is true it should be of
great advantage TO the country trib-
utary to the roads along the Column
bia But is it?
The 0. R. & n. Company has
road down the Columbia for many
years, and has hauled products from
the Inland Empire to Portland dur
ing those years, but has made the
same charges that have been charged
by other roads making longer hauls
across the Cascade mountains, over
high mountain grades, to the sound
county.
1t will be seen that the great ad-
vantageS which nature has given to
the country east of the mountains by
creating this pass through the noun |
tains has not benefited that country,
as yet, but has benefited only the
0. R. & N, Company. 1t seems as if
these natural advantages should be
shared by both railroad and inhabi- .
ANTS, and il they were we should not
nave cause to listen to so much
anentation about determinations
against the ports on the Columbia. If
he producers were permitted to
,hare in those advantages the bene-
its delived BY them therefrom would
more than offset any disadvantages
which they now suffer from any other
iource, If they could once get their
yes opened, and get the dust which
las been thrown into them blown out,
hey would discover that the bunco
teerer has not yet abandoned his
but they would avoid
laying his bame. "M,"

Washington Day BY Day.

A perfect wave of Opponents has
swept over the country during the past
two or three years. Many of these
marriages being nothing more or less
than escapades, they have in a brief
time appeared in the divorce courts. In
some cases where mere children have
dared to enter secretly into wedlock,
parents have interfered and separated
the would-be husbands and wives. This
is a serious matter, and one fraught
with many grave problems as to what
is best to do in such cases. The lives
of both parties to clandestine mar
riage are usually wrecked by the fool
ish marriage. School girls and boys
getting into automobiles and hieing
themselves off to some county seat or
city hall where they can obtain Ii
cense and find some authorized t.
perform the marriage service is of all
too frequent occurrence.
Not long ago a boy and girl took
a trolley ride out to Rockville, the
county seat of Montgomery County,
Maryland, obtained license and found
some one who was wicked enough to
marry them. They went to con-
fectioners, bought some candy and sat
down near the track and waited for a
car to return to Washington. They
each returned to their respective
homes and thought to keep their mar
riage a secret. The mother of the
young bride, being dissatisfied with her
daughters explanation of her disap-
pearance from home, insisted upon be-
ing told the truth as to where she had
been and who was with her, and finally
succeeded in getting the whole story
The father of the boy groom was in
formed of the facts and was so out
ragged and indignant that the boy ran
away and both families were over
whelmed with grief over the affair.
Disappointment, ruin of careers,
eventual disagreements, disenchant-
ment and separation are the usual con-
sequences of Opponents.

Washington is a veritable Gretna
Green for Maryland, Virginia, and the
Carolinas. Scarcely day passes that
does not bring couples from these
States who come to Washington to be
married and see the sights of the Cap
ital City. The superintendent of police
is appealed to constantly to prevent
the marriage of minors, but rarely sue
ceeds in apprehending them until too
late, as those bent on matrimony are
very wary and generally find minis
ter who is willing to perform the cere-
mony before the police find that those
whom they seek are in the city. In
cases where children in their teens
follow their romantic ideas to the eX-
tent of actually getting married, it is
sin and anyone performing the mar
riage ceremony should be prosecuted
to the extent of the law.
