Display Of Corn is
Remarkably Good One

The Third annual Marion county
corn show, which will close this after
noon, has demonstrated, according to
Il, j. Chaplin, the fact that corn can be
grown in the valley even in unfayor,
able years, While the exhibits were
not as large this year as the awards
were for individuals instead of COM
munity displays, the quality of the dis
play is estimated at fully ten per cent
higher than those of the 1915 exhibits,
In many of the displays, the 1918
winners were exhibited along with the
exhibits and winners of this year,
showing plainly the improvements that
have been made this year. The greater
part Of the judging was done by +, W.
Rader G. r, Hyslop and j. Il, Larson,

LILLIAN HRBACEK
IS SUPPOSED VICTIM
Officers Believe Dependency
Caused Girl to Jump
in River

1t is now believed TO be practically
certain that the person who went to
death in the waters of the Willamette
river Friday morning is Miss Lillian
Hrbacek, for the past few months maid
in the home OF Hal d. Patton, ex,state
senator whose home is at sS3 Court
street.
Mental arrangement and despond.
ency is given as the cause for the
rash act when she wandered to the
river barefoOted and plunged into the
icy waters. Why she should have
been despondent and melancholy is
unknown because she had pleasant
home in which to work and there was
nothing in particular to worry her. Yet
for the past few days she had been
suffering from melancholia and was
extremely gloomy.
Chief of Police Welsh consulted
Mayor White and the chairman of the
police committee regarding the matter
of dragging the river for the body but
it was decided that such proceeding
would be absolutely useless at this
time. The only thing to do, consider
ing that the girl sank out in the open
river at depth that is given as 35
to 50 feet, by the Officers, is to wait
until the body comes to the surface
from natural causes, if it will ever so
come. Doubt is expressed that the
body of the girl will ever be seen
again as there are so many things that
could prevent the usual course of the
rise to the surface.
A watch will be kept of the river
during the coming week and especially
about next Friday and Saturday so
that no chance will be lost to recover
the body.
Miss Hrbaeek was last seen on
Thursday night when Mr.. and Mrs.
Patton returned from the theater where
''The Dictator was performed. When
they returned the girl went up stairs to
90 to bed but came down stairs again
to have the little girl, for whom she
cared greatly, say her prayers. This
done, she returned to her room and has
not been seen since.
Mr. Patton rose about seven e'clock
and noticed the maid was absent. She
did not prepare breakfast nor did she
show up during the day. An investi.
CATION OF her room and effects re.
vealod no motive for committing sui
eide. Her shoes were found in the
room and she must have gone to the
river baTefooted.
