The National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, whose campaign of edu-
cation for a comprehensive policy on
the part of the federal government
towards the waterways of the coun-
try, has borne such splendid results
in the way of bringing the people
to realize the absolute necessity of
making the rivers do their share of
transporting the products of the ma
ton, invites every business man
and every professional man to join
its membership. The farming com.
munities of the country are as vitally
interested in the cheapening of
freight rates as are the great in
dustrial centers and to bring home
to congress the crying needs for
an annual river and harbor bill and
to emphasize upon the congressional
mind that the people are aroused over
this matter, the propaganda which
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress began ten or more years
ago, is to he continued with greater
zeal than ever. Here is afforded an
opportunity for the people of this
community to help crystalline senti-
ment to the end that a yearly river
and harbor bill will be as certain
as the yearly appropriations fer
the army the navy or the postoffice.

There will very likely be a large
influx here of office seekers besieg-
ing the new members elect of the
house when the democrats hold
their caucus on January 19. From
the southern states they have al
ready given notice of their aspira-
tions, an unusual number of can
didates for the four elective offices
to be chosen by the caucus, clerk,
sergeant-at-arms, doorkeeper and
postmaster. As the northern demo
Gratis elected last November nearly
half the democratic membership of
the house, it stands to reason that
an equitable division of the spoils
must be accorded to them When the

FELL From The Train.

On Wednesday of last week a
young man named Elmer Wal
lace, aged 2l, was at Riverton
Junction, to which place he had
come from Hattiesburg, Miss.
He was out of money and asked
Tom Nave, engineer of the Rlv-
erton Branch for the loan of So to
buy a ticket to Huntsville. where
Wallace's mother lived. Nave
did not have the money with him
and could not therefore accomo-
date him. He would gladly have
done so as he was we'll acquainted
with Elmer. the latter having
been reared at Riverton. Failing
to get the money and being an
xious to see his mother, who lives
at Huntsville, Ala, he boarded a
freight that night and next morn
ing was found dead at Trinity,
Ala, the top of his head having
been cut off By car wheel. The
presumption is that he fell from
the train. The body was brought
back last Friday to Riverton and
buried. Deceased was a nephew
of F Walker of Paden, and Ow-
en- Walker, of Riverton, his moth
er being a sister of theirs.

G0GU[y MEET
MEETING TO BE HELD
NEXT MAR chm EETIN
PLACE NOT SELECTED YET
SAN FRANCISCO WANTS TT.

The National Educational associa-
ton will hold its annual meeting
on the first, second, third and fourth
of March. The executive committee
can not state yet just where the
meeting will be held, but states that
the choice lies between San Francisco
and Boston.
San Francisco was to have got the
convention in 1906, but the earth
quake got there first. Now that the
city is once more in position to take
its place in the nation, a strong eff
fort is being made to get the conven-
ton there this year, but some OPP
position has arisen in the east on the
grounds that the west had the meet
ing in Denver last year and in Los
Angeles in 1907.
The present delay in naming the
meeting city is largely due to the
fact that railroad rates have not yet
been announced.
The program is already made up
and the name of A. H. Yoder, super
intendent of Tacoma schools, appears
among those who will take part in
the general discussions on children

MARRIAGE SERVICE
UNNECESSARY
RING COUNTY JUDGE HOLDS
THAT If MEN AND WOMEN
THEY ARE WEDDED.

Seattle, Jan. 20.-Following the
decision of the supreme court of the
state in similar case, Judge Gay
late yesterday decided that If man
and woman have lived together as
husband and wife for twenty years
and reared family they are married,
In the eyes of the law, whether any
ceremonial celebrated their nuptials
or not Judge Gay supplemented this
decision with the granting of de-
cree of divorce in the case, and
awarded all the community property
of the couple, estimated at 100000,
to the wife, with $50 per month ali
mony. The decision was delivered in
the case of Clara Gallagher against
Frank Gallagher. The husband is a
prominent contractor.
The complaint of Mrs. Gallagher
set up that she married her husband
on May 13, 1889, and that she had
lived continuously with him until
July 20, 1909, when he forced her to
leave the family home. The mar
riage was performed, she said, by
Rev. F. S. Damon. Non-support and
abuse were charged. A sensation
was created in court when Frank
Gallagher assumed the witness stand
and took oath that he had never mar
ried Mrs. Gallagher, denying the al
legged ceremony before DR.. Damon.
do you deny that you have lived
with this woman for twenty years,
are the father of her children and
have always held her out as your
wife," asked Judge Gay.
Il do not, your honor" said Gal
lagher.
Then it is clear to me that,
whether you have or have not ever
had a marriage ceremony read over
you, you are the husband of this
plaintiff" said the court.
