SUICIDE BURIED
Two Inquirers But No Identifi-
 cation of Victim.

Unknown and unwept, the man who committed suicide Tuesday night by jumping into the ha.rbor from the Stratford avenue bridge, was buried today in Potter's Field at Lakeview home. The body since late Tuesday night has remained unidentified at the morgue. More than 100 men have viewed the body during this time but mains out of curiosity and it is a sin number not one could report a reIa- tive or friend missing whom by chance
 might be the suicide. Today however. James Nelson, a widely known insur- ance agent called and> asked to see the body. MT. Nelson said that a friend of. his had been missing for several days and his family had asked him to look at the body in the morgue.
 Mir Nelson's friend has very light hair and on being told that the man at the morgue had dark hair, she did not view the body. He refused to give the name of the man for whom he was searching but said he felt he would turn up all right in a day or two. Last night Mrs. w. A. Haugh of Derby, Conn.,, telegraphed for a, de- scription of the drowned man stat ing that her husband is missing She wanted a reply by wire. The un- dertakers sent the description by spe-1 cial delivery letter and notified her by telegraph that it was on the way No word has been received from Mrs
 Haugh and identity of the suicide bids fair to remain an unsolved mystery.

Woman Must Be Shield ed From Oyerwork By Dr. S, ADoLPHUs kNoPF of
 ,NewlY York
HERE is a. great analogy be-

THERE is a great analogy be-
 tween woman labor and child
 labor. It is because the growing system of the child is stunted in it's physical, mental and moral growth by child labor that physicians, socio1ogists, true philan- thropists, but as yet too few states men, have devoted their lives to the combat of this scourge of civilized nations. Woman, too, has a more delicate physical, mental and moral makeup than man. By nature she is endowed with certain faculties and the divine mission of bearing children.
 TO PREPARE HER FOR THIS LATTER TASK, TO ENABLE HER TO DO HER DUTIES AS A MOTH FER OF FUTURE GENERATIONS, WE MUST NOT MAKE A BEAST OF BURDEN OF HER AS sARRARI- ANS DO, BUT AS A CIVILIZED MA TON MUST SHIELD HER FROM SUCH OVERWoRk, INsANITARY WORK, AS WOULD MAKE HER UNI FIT TO BE A TRUE COMPANION TO MAN, A WIFE AND A MOTHER.

WinanS Makes Another Suggestion

Winans City, Ore, Aug. "a, 1914.
Editor Glacier: Please allow us to
suggest that new wagon road be
established on the West Side, beginning
on the hard surfaced road at the top of
Davidson hill, thence southwesterly
along or near the Farmers irrigation
ditch, connecting with the wagon roads
to Mount Hood, DEVILS Punch Bowl
and Lost Lake. At Winans City this
would shorten the present route to the
Upper Valley and these points several
miles and would eliminate the steep
grades on the present route, and the
rOadbed would be in a much drier and
firmer location. The grade need not
exceed three per cent and the road
would afford an overlook view of the
river canyon with Mount Hood in the
background.
We would suggest that when a bond
issue is voted upon this fall to build in
ternal trunk lines that they be built in
circuit up one side and down the
other so that all can have an outlet.
Let US first build dirt roads on the
easiest possible grades, grade being
the most important object to obtain.
This view road should cross Hood river
at the foot of the sliding mountain
from one table land to the other, where
the river gorge is but l25 feet in width
an ideal place for bridge.

MONTGOMERY GIVES
PRE-ROUND-UP SHOW

The man who has never seen J. E.
Montgomery ride horseback cannot
properly appreciate the little exhibit
be made Of bis equestrianship recently
IN the Camas Prairie district, where he
had gone TO inspect land. Mr.. Mont
gomery rides better than lchabod
Crane, one of Washington IrvinR's
characters. Of Sleepy Hollow fame.
After this description of his ability
as a horseman, 20 proceed with the
story: Mr.. Montgomery learned while
IN Camas that he might secure a bron-
cho from a resident there and save
about eight miles Of hiking. He
mounted the pony and set out. But it
seems that the piehald animal was not
over acquainted with automobiles.
Rumors of the European war had prob
ably reached his ears, and every time
an automobile approached him from
the rear. thinking, possibly, it was a
German machine gun, he attempted to
outrun it. Camas Prairie residents
thought Mr.. Montgomery was an ad-
vance agent of the round up that was
held there Tuesday, and much enter
talnment was had az his expense. Mr..
Montgomery says that the horses mind
worked quickly, and that as soon as he
decided that he could not outrun the
automobiles, he would stop very, very
suddenly. In fact, when the horse
would plant his forefeet and make one
Of those lightning stops, his ears alone
saved the rider from pitching forward
about 30 feet in the road.
Zone time" says Mr.. Montgomery,
"a little Brush came chugging up be-
hind. That horse ran five miles, be-
lieve. before he finally made one of his
quick decisions that the Brush could
beat him"
Since the feats of horsemanship we're
performed, Mr.. Montgomery takes his
chair with the utmost dignity.
