subject TO write: Burns did not
write this song and only edited the
verses of an anonymous lyric cur

not see how it can be decide wheth-

It has been stated, by the way,
that Burns scratched a couplet OF
the song on a pane OF blass at
MauchIine in this form:
Gin body kiss a body.
Comm through THE gTau;
Need a body g7Idge a body,

And the ancient first verse, TO
which Burns is believed to have
added others. certainly implies that

The song is, no doubt, as Old as

Another writer holds that Burns
further gives evidence of the pic

his poetic fancy in the "Bob-tailed

revived this pretty air. at least, but
the song as we know il to-day is Of

words are printed 10 the tune Of

Cunningham adds: The poet in

The Burns version is as follows:
Coming through the rye. poor body.
Coming through the ne.
She draiglet her petticcatie,
Coming through the re.
Jenny's a wat. poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry;
She draiglet a her petticoatis,

This version of Burns has open
ed up a rather spirited controversy.
Recently a Scotchman. writing to a
New York paper affirmed that
Burns meant a stream named the
Rye, and not a field of rye grain,
and that Jenny came through on
stepping stones of the Rye-burn.
He further states that in the Moth
orwell and Hogg editions of Burns.
Volume III, there is a picture of a
lass and laddie coming through the
Rye, in which there is not shown a
field Of grain, but the bank of a
stream, with a stepping stone in
view. According to the line, She
draiglet a her pettieoatie." this in
depreciation seems plausible.
Had Burns written the original
words. the Rye. an undoubted Ayr
shire stream. might have been add

Bonnie Doom" as destined to flow
in clear favor. But Burns is merely
an adapter in this case-one who
gave his preference for a certain
form of lyric pretty old even in his
day According 10 his wont, he
dressed the piece in some measure,
modified it for the museum, and en-

so many letters that he has called

Princess May With 100 Pas
sengers Goes Down Near
Juneau, Alaska.

Seattle, Aug. 5.-The Canadian
Pacific steel steamship Princess May,
which left Skagway, Alaska, yester-
day for Vancouver with a passenger
list estimated at one hundred names,
struck a reef near Sentinel Islands,
north of Juneau, in Lynn canal, at
four o'clock this morning. She lies
on the beach partially submerged.
1t is believed all hands were saved.
A brief message from the sinking
ship seems to have been the only one
the Princess Mays apparatus was
able to send. Shipping men here are
inclined to take hopeful view of
the situation. The sea was calm as
a mill pond. Nothing was said as to
the crew or passengers, but it is con-
sidered by the Canadian Pacific Of
ficials that they have been landed.
They said Captain Mcleod would
have ample opportunity to get to
land.
The Princess May was a staunch
vessel of steel, screw type, of I'LL
tons, built in England especially for
the British Columbia-Alaska run.

FILE PETITION SEP.
TENDER 8
Local Option Petition Must
Garry 80 Per Cent of
Voters.

1t seems to be the general idea
that the 'wets" will call for local
option election here this fall. The
law says that the petition must be
filed not more than 90 days prior to
the general election nor less than
60 days, consequently the petition
must be in by September Sth. The
law also prescribes that the petition
must carry 80 per cent of the voters
of the last general election. 1t is
generally supposed that the general
election applied to the city election
last year. The real contest was in
the primaries and but few votes were
cast at the general election, conse-
quently the local option petition does
not necessarily need to carry a large
list of the voters. Some of the "wets"
are already interesting themselves in
this matter and it Is safe to say that
the general election September Sth
will be triple affair-vote on local
option, state officers and also the
date for the city primaries, thus ne
cessitating two sets of election off,

BOASTS Of CRIME;

Drunken Sailor Overheard
Telling of Gang That
Wrecked Train

Portland, Ore, Aug. 5.-The keen
sense of hearing possessed by Sheriff
Robert l. Stevens may result in the
apprehension of those responsible
| for the wrecking of Santa Fe train
at La Junta, Colo, eight years ago,
| in which score of persons were in
jured
The sheriff, while searching for a
| fugitive in the northern part of the
city, overheard G. NJ Gerbrucht, a
sailor, boastingly say that he knew
the gang; they put the train in the
ditch. He was taken into custody
and after he had become sober reluc-
family intimated that he was famil-
lar with the gang of train wreckers
and all of the incidents in connection
with the ditching of the Santa Fee
train.
kilograms were sent to the Chica-
go and La Junta headquarters of the
Santa Fe, and responses were re-
|ceived from both places verifying
the statements of Gerbrucht.
A special dispatch from Canon
City, Colo, stated that John Devine,
who died last year in the state peni-
Tertiary at that place, after serving
six years of life sentence for par
ticipation in the wrecking of the
train at La Junta, may be shown to
have been innocent of the crime.
Devine was taken into custody near
the scene of the wreck, having been
found asleep in a clump of bushes.
He was found guilty and sentenced
to life Imprisonment.

ricultural land would be opened for
development by the building of this
road. Most of it has abundance of
water available for irrigation.
Not the least of advantages to be
gained is the employment which
would be furnished during winter
time to many men who are now idle
during that season of the year. The
snowfall of this section makes a
mountain road which has been pro-
perly cared for during the summer
ideal for traffic with sleds. The pro-
posed road passes through vast
stretch of timber and hundreds of
cords of wood could be hauled down
thereon, providing this city with
abundance of fuel and many poorer
classes of citizens with profitable en-
ployment.
Mr.. Clark urged also that the pre-
sent is an era of road building and
that another opportunity of the kind
now present may not return for many
Years. 1t is natures way to alternate
periods of growth with periods Of
stagnatiOn or rest. Men must sleep
after they work and it is also the
way of committees. Wenatchee has
been making rapid growth and there
is no present indication of an imme-
date cessation of that development.
But while advancement is taking
place and the energetic forces are
under control, they should be di-
rected wisely and with the thought
in mind that the road building era
may end at any time and the pres
ent opportunity pass. The legisla-
ture and the people are now friendly
to state road building. 1t is not
known what will be the tide of pub
lie sentiment two or five years
