HILL NVADES VALLEY GIRL TAKES own LIFE
BODY OF MARY WEST FOUND
HANGING FROM OAK TREE.
Daughter of Well-Known Salt Creek
Family Commits Suicide in
Fit of Dependency.

Hanging from a small oak tree, the
lifeless body of Mary West, the IA
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
A. West, was found on her fathers
farm on Salt Creek a short distance
from the house Friday afternoon. The
girls neck had been broken by the
fall.
Leaving the house at 10 o'clock in
the morning, the girl, unseen by any
member of the family, went to the
barn lot and secured rope which
had been used as a swing. Carrying
this rope with her into the timber
pasture probably half mile from the
house, she fastened one end of it
around the limb of an oak tree and
tied the other end around her neck.
She then climbed into the tree and
jumped. Although the rope had been
clumsily tied, it held and the girls
neck was broken by the fall.
When the young daughter failed to
return at the lunch hour, the family
became alarmed and started out to
find her, After a short search near the
house, they went into the pasture,
where the ghastly sight of her lifeless
body hanging from a tree met their
gaze.
The tree which the girl had selected
was scrubby oak, with limbs branch
ing from near the ground. The position
in which the body was found indicated
that the girl, after fastening the rope
to a limb about 10 feet from the
ground had jumped from limb
about five feet below.
Coroner r. L. Chapman was imme-
diately summoned from Dallas by
telephone. Arriving on the scene two
hours later, he found the evidences of
self destruction so plainly apparent
necessary.
The parents of the dead girl are
well known in Dallas, the family hav-
ing lived in Germantown addition for
five or six years. They later moved to
the Tice Brown farm on Salt Creek.
Little dreaming that their young
daughter had in contemplation such a
rash act, they cannot account for the
motive that prompted the deed on any
ground save dependency.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily home Sunday, and burial took
place in the Salt Creek cemetery. The
sorrowing parents and relatives have
the profound sympathy of all in their
sad bereavement.

OREGON ELECTRIC TOWNS GET
THROUGH FREIGHT RATE.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
VIII Transfer at jefferson
Street Depot.

That a closer passenger rate agree
ment is included in the negotiations
pending between the Oregon Electric
and the Hill roads, in conjunction with
the pending establishment of through
freight rates affecting the same lines,
developed Saturday.
The agreement, which it is said is
now practically closed, will mean that
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific, in addition to meeting the South
ern Pacific freight rates to points in
the Willamette Valley touched by the
Oregon Electric, will also meet the
Hartman through passenger rates
from the East
The agreement will also include ar
rangements for transfer of passengers
from the North Bank and the Grand
Central stations to the Oregon Electric
station, on Front and Jefferson streets
the steam roads absorbing the transfer
charges.
Transfer Coupons on Tickets.
After the deal is finally closed per-
sons in the East desiring to go to Sa-
lem, for instance, can purchase
ern or Northern Pacific. Each ticket
will carry coupon emitting the pas
senger to the transfer of himself and
baggage between stations in Portland.
Through tickets East will also be sold
by the Oregon Electric at the same
rates as those published by the South
ern Pacific, these tickets also carry
ing transfer coupons.
While an agreement for interchange
of passenger traffic has been in effect
between the Oregon Electric and the
Northern roads for several months,
the rates have been based on a COM
bination of locals in most instances
and the competition with the Southern
Pacific has been handicapped by the
expense of the transfer across the city.
No Physical Connection Yet.
No arrangements are under way, it
is understood, for making physical
connections between the roads named.
While the Oregon Electric has COM
mon user rights over the United Rail-
ways, the use of the latter line for
either passengers or freight is con-
fined to night hours. The transfer of
freight cars between the Oregon Elec-
trio and the Northern Pacific terminals
will be made at night.
With these arrangements in effect,
the Northern road will begin an active
campaign in the willamette Valley for
both freight and passenger business
in competition with the Hartman
lines, and the pending arrangement is
looked upon as accentuating the prob
ability of numerous extensions by the
Oregon Electric. No word has yet been
received from the Eastern directors
of the road authorizing the immediate
construction of the Albany and Nc
Minnville extensions, but a decision
one way or the other is expected with
in a short time.
