MANY HOBOES DRIFT
MONG THE COLUMBIA

Walla Walla, Wash, April 21.-As
endless as the stream of water that
flows in the Columbia river seems to
5e Ihe stream Of human lives drifting
up and down the banks of that river.
County Engineer Lew w. Loehr, who
has just spent several days in Wallula
on official business, said:
81 believe there are more hoboes
going up and down the river than I
ever knew before. How they live is
moro than l know, although fishing
seems to be one method.
Il saw one man who had caught n
mud cat boil it in a can and eat It
with neither salt nor bread. Others
fishing along the bank were having
varied luck, all trying to get enough
meat to sustain life. The jungles' are
full of men. Some are being attract
ed by bridge and construction work
up the Columbia and towards Spokane
but many are merely drifting along"
Few of the wanderers are coming
to Walla Walla. Spring work in this
part of the valley has been completed
and until harvest there will be little
doing for the floating element.

Rumor has been busy concerning
plans for closer relations between the
imperial houses Of Germany and Aus
tria. Princess Victoria Louise, the
kaiser's onl daughter, accompanied
her father to Vienna, and her pres

Charles Francis Joseph, the Austrian
emperors nephew. The princess is

of age it would be a suitable match.
The young couple saw a good deal
of each other during the visit. The
alliance would no doubt be popular
among the Germans in Austria. The
difference in religion is an obstacle
and it is thought unlikely that the
princess would become a Roman Cath

her mother. on the other hand mar
riages with protestant princesses are
