Communicates With His
Mother.

st. Louis, Jan. 2S.-Mourned for a
decade as dead, Chester w. Guinea,
formerly of Sioux City, la, missing
II years, has written TO his mother
formerly Mrs. Clara Gurnea, now OF
st. Louis, announcing himself alive
and we'll az Oakland, Cal, and the
winner of a Klondike fortune.

midnight, Mrs. Gurnea learned through
a st. Louis newspaper man the good
ne WIS, the letter opened by the chief of
police at Frankfort, Ind, whittier Mrs.
Guinea came to st. Louis, having not
yet reached here.
AT first her daughter, Mrs. Bessie
Walker, who lives with her. would
not let Mrs. Gurnea know of the
tidings. Mrs. Gurnea has been con-
WINGED of her sons death. She gradu-
ally has peen failing and three weeks
ago was stricken so seriously with
pneumonia that fears were entertained
for her life.
1t was thought the mother, who is
81 years old, would be unable to hear
up under the shock, but she would not
be denied. She heard her sons name
mentioned in the conversation and in
sisted on knowing what was going on.
When she learned, all she could d.
was gasp, THANK God, thank God, "
between her sobs.
In 1854 the Gurneas were living in
Sioux City. Chester Gurnea, then %,
was happily married. But that year
his wife burned to death in a gasoline
explosion and he became moody and
restless, He decided to go with a
family named Wheeler to Portland,
Ore. The plan was to work their
way overland.
In Pierre, s. D., he stopped to eat
dinner with an aunt, Mis-. N. e. How
ard. That was the last heard of him
by his mother until last midnight.

DEEP SNOW
Railroad Travel Dangerous in
the Cascade Mountains.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 2S.-Badly
burned in a snowslide Engineer Ed.
wards is at the pont of death and Joe
Tierenn, the fireman, is dead.
Edwards was pushing a rotary snow
plow at the head of a relief train into
the packed snow that is blocking travel
on the Great Northern railway. Three
miles east of Leavenworth a snowslide
plunged down upon his locomotive,
hurting it from the rails with such
violence that the boiler exploded. In
the rush of escaping steam, Edwards
was horribly scalded.
Passengers OF a Great Northern rail
road train from Kansas City, reported
at Scenic a winter resort in the Cascade
mountains, after a long tramp down
steep mountain trails, and told of
having been marooned by %avalanches
since Thursday.
Their train. they said, had just
thrust its nose out of a long snowslide
at Alvin, on the west slope when an
avalanche caught the two engines and
baggage car. The train had been
moving slowly and after the engines
and car had been dug out, it was
found that no one was hurt.
An attempt was made to b&ck the
train to Spokane, but it encountered
a landslide to the rear so after a
forty-eight hour wait the passengers
started on foot down the mountain to
Scenic where there is a hotel. There
was plenty of food and fuel on the
marooned train and the passengers sut-
fered nc hardships.
Seven men were killed on the Great
Northern while fighting snow last week.

MUNICIPALITIES


Pierre. Jan. 2S.-One of the most
important branches of Legislation which
It is expected the legislature will pass
upon, is that relating to municipali-
ties and particularly to commission
governed cities. These cities have al
ready established a lobby and expect
to have a we'll defined program of de-
sired legislation within a short time.
The main feature of the desired laws
is relating to the construction of public
improvements. particularly those paid
for by special assessment of the
property abutting on the improvement,
such as paving or sewers. 1t is de-
sired to eliminate the present protest
feature which has been the means of
tying up many improvements in the
larger cities.
To make it easier for property
owners affected by public improve.
ments to pay their assessment, it is
proposed that cities be permitted to es-
tahlish revolving funds. Under this
plan the city will sell bonds for a term
OF ten or more years and will pay cash
for all assessable public improvements.
The property owners will then be given
the opportunity of paying for the i'm
rroyement in five or ten years, making
two payments a year and will pay
the same interest on the unpaid portion
OF their assessments as the city is pay
ing on the bonds. As the money Is
paid back into the revolving fund, it
can be used fer other improvements.
Under the present law improvements
are paid for by certificates of indebt-
edness against the AUDITING property
and because Of the difficulty frequently
experienced in making the collections,
the contractors make their bids unus.
ually large and those who pay are in
reality compelled to pay for delin-
quencies. The new plan would Grove
a boon to the property owner of moder-
ate means, as it would stretch his
payments over a period of years, in
stead OF compelling him to pay 1t in
a short time as at present.

WOMAN MAYOR
TELLS WHY She
HELPS SALOON
Miss Munson, of Warrentown.
0regy Says Government Is in
Partnership With Liquor Men.

WARRENTOWN, OREG., Nov. s.
Those scoffers who thought Miss
Clara Cynthea Munson would regret
her election as Mayor of this town
are a disappointed lot. Miss Munson
has the distinction Of being the only
woman Mayor in the West, and she
is not much in favor of woman suf-
frage.
Now that women have a vote
she said, Il believe they should take
an active interest in political affairs
and show they are able to make good
use of the ballot"
Besides being Mayor she Is City
Attorney and Chief of Police. The
money saved in salaries by her oc-
cupancy of the three offices goes to
public improvements.
Speaking of the granting of saloon
licenses, she says:
"One OF the problems ! have had to
thrash out was the matter Of saloon
here. The question of reissuing the
license of the saloon came up. The
license fee is $500 a year. There are
very few women in favor Of saloons
and what the saloon stands for There
are 80 saloons in Astoria, seven miles
distant, and four saloons in Ham
mond three miles away, | thought
the thing out carefully and decides
that as long as the Government and
the saloon man were in partnership,
it was not fair to punish the weaker
partner-the saloon man.
LAS long as you and I and the
others who constitute the Govern
ment tell the saloon man that he
may pay a certain sum of money to
carry on the business, all we can dc
is to see that he does not transgress
the laws. The real solution of the
problem is for the Government not to
become the silent partner of the 1iq-
uor men"
