LAUDER FUNERAL
WAS HELD TODAY
REMAINS OF YOUNG MAN DROWN
ED SUNDAY BROUGHT TO THE
CITY TODAY
Was Drowned in Rock Creek, Oregon,
When Bathing-Believed Stricken
With Cramps

The body of Ralph Lauder, who was
drowned Sunday afternoon in river
near his home at Glen, Or, arrived
this morning over the O.-W. r. e N,
and was taken to the family home at
the south edge of the city where the
funeral services were held at 2:30
this afternoon, the Rev. Robert Warn
er, pastor of the Methodist church, Of
fciating. A large group of friends OF
the family and school friends of the
young man, who had been student
in the University of Idaho, were pres
ent at the depot this morning when
the body arrived. Interment was
made in the Moscow cemetery this
afternoon following the funeral serv-
ices. Many Moscow business men at
tended the funeral.
The unfortunate young man met
death by accidental drowning, accord
ing to reports brought to the city, He
was in the habit of bathing in Rock
creek, and though he couldn't swim,
was there to bathe Sunday morning
alone. The supposition is that he was
taken with cramps and could not reach
the creek bank When he didn't re-
turn to his home, search was made.
Ralph was born in Moscow and was
well known here. He was member
of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, and
made many warm friends while stu
dent in the university. He was known
as a steady, reliable hard-working
young man, and was possessed of ad-
traits of integrity and honesty
of purpose. At the time of his death
he was just reaping success as a re-
ward for his diligent labors. He was
"a years of age.
A sister, Miss Alma, and his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Lauder, survive.
The chamber of commerce at their
luncheon today voiced the sentiment
of the entire community when they
passed resolutions of coincidence ex-
pressing their sympathy for the fam
ly of the unfortunate young man.

WAS DISAPPOINTED COUPLE
Applicants for Marriage License
Blocked in Desire by Cruel
Arm of the Law

There is going to be at least one
marriage in the state across the line
next December, you can bank on that.
That is if the ardor of the parties con-
cerned is as warm in December as it
is in August. L. E. Brooks, clerk in
the auditors office, was asked to is
sue a marriage license to a couple
fl ON across the line late Saturday af-
ternoon, and all proceeded well in
filling out the blank until he asked the
parties whether either had been di-
vorced.
81 have" the lady replied.
"How long ago?" the inquisitive
Brooks asked.
Zone month"
They say that when the girl said that
it was so still in the old court house
that the mice thought everybody had
left and came out to gnaw on the
books.
'One must have been divorced at
least six months before they may re-
marry" said Brooks, breaking the sill
ence with the inf1exible law.
"But nothing will ever come of it,
the lady's mother interposed.
And nothing did, for the license was
refused. But it stands to reason,
doesn't it, that there will be at least
one wedding in the state of Washing
ton some time in the month of De-
cember? Count from June if you want

With Both Railroads Ac-

BY CARL GROAT

WASHINGTON Aug. ia. B.. Gar
rettson, head of the conductors broth
erhood declared today that if strike
were called in the United States that
transportation would be paralyzed
within one minute after the order was
issued. The movements of United
States mails would halt. He declared
that the strikers are not responsible
for the mail stoppage.
Railroads are to Blame
ut is the railroads which have the
mail carrying contracts and | see no
reason why we must supply men for
this" said Mr.. Garrettson. THE roads
must attend to it. The industrial ne
cessity is no excuse for every kind
of injustice or oppression. Whenever
the money kings don't want to give
us fair share they claim they must
continue in the old state on account
of industrial necessity.

ment:

have always managed to live with only twenty-eight days in February, not spare that twenty ninth day this year and donate whatever We shall earn on that day to good cause? Or are We to appropriate that extra matter of course
 For the want of ansewr, We suggest that each and everyone of put aside what we earn that day over and above usual expense-to help our worthy firemen in their gymnasium enterprise. What help it would be to them And those who do not believe in the enterprise let them give to the needy None of us will ever miss that earning much Be sides, year is so short that ought to feel amply repaid for having an extra day this year that very few of us deserve, must admit.

WE MAY EXPECT RESULTS

According to Washington correspondent of the Seattle Times, one of the pioneers of ketchlkan who is now at the capital city, has finally landed in Secretary Redfied's patch of confidence and IS evidently using the proper argument since he has succeeded in getnig the secretary interested in our cause has also evidently stirred up the Seattle people since they have joined him and together are working in an endeavor make Washington officials understand that We need attention. The trouble Tn our case, however is that not in need Of extra appropriation If did, every doggone official and everybody else would become deeply interested, but since we only need regulations, nobody cares a hoot. In this it appears that our pioneer has used the proper tactics and succeeded ingetting the secretary interested, therefore, We have right to xpect results that will be beneficial to Ketchikan as whole
 There is no doubt but that we will hear some one say that all that work and expenditure of money in an endeavor to bring the officials to our way of thinking is done for selfish interest. But that is all poppycock and unworthy of notice. Whatever business is brought here and from whatever source We shall all be beneficiaries in proportion to our in- terest. And the of us get the foolish notion out of heads that everybody is trying to take the bread out of mouth, the better it will be.

BEAUTY OF THE SILVER ACACIA
(Los Angeles Timesl

There are many miracles silver tree is al ways one of them When it rains your heart IS likely to be broken because the silver acacia has its bright eyes so filled with tears that it may spill them any minute from the weight, and its death means the end of joy. This is the one acacia that seems almost at it's lovliest when not in bloom It is like hand illumined edition of fairy stories bound in bright gray silk, with tassels for book marks Eevry trembling leaf makes you think of the kiss of child. When you pass the tree you feel baby about your neck. You may exist without silver acacia, but you cannot be said to live without
