Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
WHY NOT ASK HER YOURSELF

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am nineteen years of age and
know a girl one year my junior,
and have gone with her to different
places of amusement. | love this
girl above others. and / am pretty
sure it is returned by her, although
she has never said 30. on account
OF her living so far away from me
she has not asked me to call on
her since last summer We write
To each other about once a week.
Would you kindly advise me as
10 whether or not she cares for me
yet, because of not asking me to
call on her? A. l.. r.
You have correspondent year, YET
you ask if she cares for you YOU
lack of sclf-assurance is refreshing
Truly, she likes you, and | am sure
will like you more when you tell heI
of your love. That pleasing disclosure
made, you will learn why she doesn
ask you to call.

No small excitement prevailed here
Tuesday afternoon and until after eight
o'clock Tuesday evening, when the
local authorities and volunteers, think
ing Mrs. Davis, the mother in law of
c. S. Creighton, lost, secured the woods
around the city and made inquiries at
suburban homes, and all the time Mrs.
Davis had been journeying safely to
the country and had been visiting
neighbors.
Mrs, Davis, who is about 10 years of
age. had come from Roseburg, where
she had been visiting, on the noon
train. She had telephoned her son in
law to meet her at the Paris Fair. On
arrival in town he failed to find her
there and Immediately began inquiries.
She had last been seen there about
three O'Clock. Inquiries at other places
of business failed to reveal her. She
had not been heard from at home and
Mr. Creighton notified the authorities,
who began their searcn.
Mrs. Davis had grown tired of wait
ing and without announcing her inten-
tions to any one had set out to the
country with the neighbor. When she
arrived at the fireside of her daughter
she found grief prevailing. The off,

The protest of the local Commercial

Clark, in which it is declared that the
Portland water board is eucroachins on
the watershed of Hood River county
with the boundaries of its Bull Rur

the Portland officials in an effort to
reach some adjustment of the matter.
1t is probable that members of the
Portland water board will come here

people hope to see the Bull Run re-
