TWO BODIES RECOVERED
Bodies of James Burrows and Loren
Cogdill Are Found in Camp
bells Slough.

The bodies of two of the three
Hoquiam boys who were drowned on
the afternoon of December 81, while
hunting on the lower harbor have
been found by scratching party
headed by o. p. Burrows, father of
enc of the boys, in Campbell's slough
The body of James Burrows wa~
brought up by graphing hooks Oh
Monday evening, and that of Loren
CCgdill Tuesday afternoon. The rifle
belonging to the third boy, Harry
Sanborn was also brought up by the
grapples.
Speaking of the said affair, NJ.
Burrows gave out the following
opinion of the manner in which the
boys lost their lives:
1T is my firm belief the boys
boat went adrift while they were on
a spit short distance southwest of
Campbell's slough" said Mr.. Bur-
rows. Realizing that they would
have to swim to reach shore, the
boys endeavored to cross a small
slough adjoining Campbell's slough
on the southwest. While all of the
other sloughs in that immediate
vicinity flow about northeast into
Campbell's slough, the small slough
in which the boys perished runs al
most parallel to Campbell's slough.
"Thus, the boys. instead of making
squarely across the smaller slough,
as they believed they were doing,
really swan up the slough. 1t was
too much for them and they were
lost"
The body of James Burrows was
taken to Portland yesterday, where
it will be cremated. From Port
land the Burrows family will go to
Hot Lake to remain a few weeks, in
the hope of Mrs Burrows relief who
Is prostrated with grief over the sad
fate of her son.
The funeral of Loren Cogdill took
place this afternoon, services being
held In the Hoquiam Presbyterian
church, Rev. Laurie officiating.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 19.-Definite an
nouncement of the coming of Gov
ernor-elect s. G. Cosgrove to Olym-
pia to take his oath of Office was re-

monies will be simple.
Indications now are that he will

ate car and that Immediately after
wards he will return to southern
California to continue his treatment.

TRAIN IS DITCHED.
Grays Harbor Passenger Train is
Ditched by Landslide Near
Olympia Tuesday Night.

The Grays IIarbOr bound passen-
ger train on the Northern Pacific
railway which left Seattle Tuesday
&C.. -.ecked shortly af-
ter 6 O'Clock by plunging into a
land slide at the big cut just south
OF Olympia at the junction of the
Northern Pacific with the Port
Townsend Southern tracks.
The train left Olympia on time
and was proceeding at fair rate
of speed when the obstruction was
encountered. The engine plunged
into the waters Of the Sound and the
baggage and mail car were thrown
across the track. The passengers
were badly shaken up but no one
was injured seriously in any of the
coaches.
Engineer Wyandt was the most
severely injured. Both legs were
badly crushed and it is feared that
amputation of both members may be
necessary in order to save his life.
The fireman was also bruised con-
siderably but not seriously.
The slide was about eighty feet
long and from four to five feet in
depth and must have occurred about
six O'Clock that evening.
The train was brought to the Har-
Dor via Centralia and Tenino, and
arrived in Aberdeen at 2 o'clock
yesterday morning.

LOGGED-OFF LANDS.
National Government Will Assist
in Clearing Lands in
Washington.

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The report
of Harry Thompson on his recent in
vestigations of the logged-off land
problem, throughout the western part
of Washington, will shortly be ready
for distribution, and is declared by
those having this work in charge to
be a splendid document.
The report shows that in Western
Washington there are S,70O,OOO acres
of land, 100000 of which are still
covered with marketable timber. The
area in cultivation is a very small
part of the total, being 429, 200 acres.
The report, however. shows that
there are 1852, 900 acres of logged
off land or the sort to which the in
vestigations apply, which would prob
ably be put under cultivation if eco
nomical means of clearing could be
found.
Experiments already made show that
the cost per acre of clearance varies
from $35 to 5000 per acre, although
the average cost is about 800. This
first investigation brought to light a
number of ingenious methods of clear
ing these lands, all of which will be
tried by the government to determine
whether or not they are superior to
the more popular use of donkey en-
gines and dynamite. 1t is believed
that some of these systems will prove
advantageous.

The CITY Fathers
TRANSACT USUAL Weekly BUDGET
OF BUSINESS LAST night.
Street improvements Continue TO be
the important Topic. Would Re.
woke Cub Saloon License. Must
Connect With Sewers. Position
OF Building Inspector is Upheld.

The city council last night sus-
tanned the position of Building In
spector Hits, in his refusal to issue
permit to r. T. Dabney for the
addition of second story on his
building on Wishkah street near H,
the foundation being considered in
sufficient.
Lengthy discussions were caused
over the proposed improvements of
streets in East Aberdeen. The reso-
luton for the improvement of East
Heron and Newell streets was
tabled after heated argument, and
the proposition of Wilson Bros. &
Co. to plank a portion of East Her.
on street was the cause of pro-
longed debate, which ended without
any definite action.
Ordinances were passed for the
following street improvements:
Building a 20-foot roadway on
Thornton, First and Jeffries streets;
for similar Improvement on Sec
ond, Oak and Wooding streets, and
a portion of Congress street.
An ordinance was passed for the
re-assessment of the North f street
Improvement, done in 1902.
On recommendation of the COM
mittee, it was decided to contract
for the Star fire alarm system, pro-
vided that company would replace
the Gamewell boxes free of charge.
Supt. McDOugall was directed to
notify property owners in Sewer Dis
tricts and d to connect their
houses with the sewers.
John Hegdale was awarded the
contract for the improvement of the
alley in block 26, at $1.1Sh per
lineal foot.
The application of j. NJ. Bowes
for permission to alter the Veysey
building, Market and f streets, into
stable, was referred to the build
ing committee with power to act.
On the recommendation of the city
attorney the claim of Mrs. Jane
+. Haight, for $1,000 damages, by
reason of change in the grade of
Third street, was rejected.
In the matter of prohibiting the
use of narrow tired wagons on
the streets, the attorney advised that
under the laws the council could not
enact such an ordinance
Councilman Alexander moved to
revoke the license of the Cub sa-
loon, whose proprietors had ,ecently
plead guilty to charge Of gambling
and the matter was referred to a
special committee. consisting Of
Weatherwax, Hart and Ingram
The attorney was directed to pre-
pare an ordinance for the improve
ment of Market street from F to K.
and K street between Market and
Wishkah.
Crivyea suggested that the streets
running into Hoquiam should be
changed, so as to conform with the
names of the Hoquiam streets.
Bowes moved that all streets In
the fire limits be permanently i'm
proved, but it failed of adoption.

FORAKER ON
ROOSEVELT
CHARGES PRESIDENT With mis-.
USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS.
'Firebrand" Foraker Goes After
Scalp of Sr2SiGcE:. Sas,. Sc: ::...>
Time When Roosevelt Can be
Held Responsible for His Utier-
dnCeS.

Tie biggest of all the bombs tha.
have been hurled at President
Roosevelt by the infuriated congress
was. that that was flung by Senator
Foraker, of Ohio, and its effect is &c
seriously increase the already per-
lious hostility between the eXCcu-
tive ana congress.
Foraker directly and unequivoca! !
Ing .'filched from the public treas
uJ, in flat defiance of the cohsti-
tuition and of statute in full force,
the sum of $4,000 to hire detectives
to aid him in his mad pursuit OF
these helpless victims of his ill-con-
sidered action" The "helpless vic
Tins to whom he referred were the
negro soldiers who were dismissed
from the army for the Brownsville
affair.
In all his career as "Firebrand
Forller," the Ohio senator never be-
fore blazed before the senate so
f-~iouslv tTo bod r~erared - long
speech, and kept the manuscript be-
fore him, but over and over again
he was inspired by his subject and
his hatred of the president to fling
down the paper and stamp up and
down the aisle, shouting accusation
and invective at the top of his lungs.
Once he even went SO far as to
deliver a yeiled threat OF thrash
ing for MI Roosevelt after March
4. With eyes blazing, and shaking
his clinched fist in the air, he roar
ed:
There will be a time when men
will not lightly deal in such charges
and insinuations. There will be a
time when they can be called to ac-
count as other men are called to
account"
Before beginning his speech Sena-
tor Foraker introduced a resolution
calling on the secretary of the treas
ury for an itemized statement of the
expenditures of the $3,000000 ap-
propriated by the Act of March 3,
1899, to be expended by direction of
the senate as an emergency fund.
This resolution was adopted with
out debate or division, and when
Foraker launched into his speech its
purpose became apparent. The gist
of his whole argument was that
President Roosevelt and Judge Taft,
then Secretary of War, has illegally
used at least $4,000 of this $780,
900 Spanish war fund to
hire detectives to work up evidence
against the negroes in the Browns
Vile affair. He quoted law pro-
hibiting the employment OF private
detectives by the government, and
declared the president had violated
this law, and Judge Taft had vio-
lated it. He charged that the Presi-
dent, never able to get any real evil
dence that any of the soldiers were
guilty of participation Of the
Brownsville raid, had stopped to
the lowest and most revolving meth
DDS of espionage and inquisition, un-
til che has become utterly oblivious
to all the restraints of law, decency
and propriety." Charging that the
presidents spies had sought to in
duce certain Of the negroes to con-
l. s.,..
ment in the army, he declared: "No
precedent for anything SO snocKIns
can be found IN all the history of

Sharon (Pa.) People Say Boyle Did
Not Plan kidnapping.

Sharon, Pa, March 26.-There is
strong feeling here against the kid
nappers of Willie Whitla, but Sharon
people do not believe that Boyle is
the brains of the scheme which was
executed in carrying away the boy.
Residents who have known Boyle
since he was little boy insist that
either his wife or third party
planned the kidnapping. Boyle is re-
garded as a shiftless sort of fellow,
who might have been influenced by
the cunning of his wife, or carried
out the kidnapping for a third party,
but 1t would be difficu to convince
many people here that he originally
planned the crime.
Interest centers in Boyle's wife.
The slender blonde woman, whom as
Helen Faulkner or Helen McDonough
Boyle married in Denver year ago,
Is an unsolvable problem to Sharon
residents.
When she visited here at the time
of the death of Boyle's uncle she was
known to many people in Sharon and
was well liked.
Relatives of Boyle say that they
have little hope of him escaping the
charge of kidnapping. He has admit.
ted to several relatives that the police
have positive evidence against him in
the case. He is leaving 1t all to the
woman" he has told his friends, be-
cause whatever she says goes"

for his downfall. They assert that
before he met her that he was indus
trious and steady in his habits, but
that he later started going down
hill" The Faulkner woman appeared
here about two years ago with bur
lesque show She gave evidences of
having received a good education and
especially in music 'I'm an artist, I
singer and money getter," was a
frequent expression from her. Th"
two left here about a year ago and

KETCKEL-O'BRIEN GO
WILL Be HOT FIGHT
New Workers Anxious to Sec
Michigan Man Box

New York, March 26.-Not since
the Attell-Driscoll fight a month age
has so much interest been taken by
New York sports In a boxing match
as that shown in the Ketchel-O' 'Brien
fight, which will take place tonight
Followers of pugilism are anxious to
see Ketchel perform to decide for
themselves what chance he has
against Jack Johnson, the colored
champion, with whom he is matched
Ketchers opponent tonight will be
philadelphia Jack" O'Brien, who
was defeated by Tommy Burns, the
latter going down in turn before John
son in Australia. Unless Ketchel dis
poses of O'Brien in quick time tonight
the experts figure that he will have
little chance against Johnson.
Ketchel is still middleweight cham
pion, having regained the title by de
feating Billy Papke on the coast some
time ago. He is out of the middle
weight class, however, as far a.
weight is concerned. tipping the
scales now at about 1870 pounds. He
has not fought since defeating Papke
but says he has little doubt that hi
will put OBrien away with ease
There will be big attendance at the
fight, which will take place before
one of the best sporting clubs of thi.

Police Kohler. Arrangements were
made between the brothers to obtain
an attorney for the prisoner and pre-
pare his defense.
UP to then Boyle, the suspect, had
not consulted with a lawyer or taken
any steps towards looking after his
own interests. The prisoners brother
also saw Mrs. Boyle, but could say
nothing regarding her other than that
she is the wife of James Boyle. He
said he knew nothing of her and that
she is unknown in Sharon.
The local police are making no
effort to learn of the woman's past
history or identity.
Mr.. Whitla called on Chief of Police
Kohler, identified the money found on
Mr. Boyle and offered his services for
the prosecution of the suspects.
