Her body was found by a searching party yesterday morning, her father being at the head of the number. This is the first case of .the kind in the history of "Western Oregon, so far as known. Adding to the pathetic situation is the fact that the mother of the .girl is lying seriously ill in a local hos pital. The news of the death is be ing withheld from her.

He located, her body, which was lying on the ground in a clump of trees, and the soarch was ended. Coroner Finlcy's Investigation de veloped the fact that the little girl was probabl' Instantly killed by lightning, which struck a steel In her cornet.

AFTER THE RIGHTS OF WAY Farmers Hold Up Electric Line to Falrview and Troutdalc. Ape for the O. W. P. R. Co. are silH securltifir the rights of way for the FalrvWw and Troutdalc branch of the Greshast Mi.e, but there still remains considerable work to do. Unexpected op posing ha been encountered that has delay the completion of the right of way. "W. P. Keady informed a resident ?esteray that the line would certainly be built, and that the company would pay a iaid price for rights of way. Where It was Impossible to purchase tbem the line would be built anyway th rough condemnation proceedings. A -resident of Falrview says that it Is remarkable that after working for elec tric railway connection with Portland and when such connection Is practically assured, there were to be found a few who were inclined to thwart and prevent. if they could, the construction of this long-desired electric line. "Why, some men go so far as to de clare that they don't want -an electric railway, said- the resident, "and that there were too man railroads in the country. It is too bad that there are men who want to hold up the proposed electric railway to Falrview and Trout dalc. It Is true that in surveying out the line the company has cut through con siderable private land? and should pay the damages. I have been informed that the company will pay what is fair and reasonable, but we want this electric railway, and I am sure that we shall get it. I .am assured that it trill be built. The company would not go to the ex pense of making a survey and locating the route unless it intends to build."' CSARDA LITTLE HUNGARY Rendezvous or Eplcrues on ,lakc Shore Boulevard at Exposition. Perhaps no restaurant within the Expo sition grounds has sprung Into popular favor so quickly as Csarda Little Hun gary, the picturesque eating-house on the Lake Shore boulevard. Epicures and oth- J crs fond of dainty Hungarian dishes were I not o1rn In 1UiHil'n 4V.I- V.ln ! and the popularity, of the place promises to grow. Little Hungary already has the reputation of halnvg the best kitchen on the ground, while the service is excellent and the prices arc reasonable. There is much to commend Little Hungary from a scenic standpoint, as well as the excel lence of its cuisine. Its quaint archltccf ure. artistic decorations, sightly location and magnificent outlook over the lake. Trail and Government buildings make Little Hungary a much-sought retreat. Among the special dishes that are mak ing a hit with visitors are Hungarian goulash. Hungarian Rocrkoclt. chicken paprikas" and turns csurza with cream, while native Arzoder. Tokay, , Szcgszardi and Egerl arc the most popular wines. M. E. Fischer, the proprietor, evidently understands wha people want. WORM KILLS THE VINES Pest Invades the Strawberry Patches Xear Mount Tab.or. A somewhat mysterious pest is ravaging strawberry patchos around Mount Tabor and Russellville. that threatens to be come serious, unless some method can be adopted that will drive It out. This pest made its appearance two years ago in the older yards, but as but little damage was done no attention was paid to it; but last year the pest worked considerable damage. In the patch of Henry Frce borrough, Mount Tabor, nearly all his vines wore killed off entirely, and he plowed up hi Meld. The pest appears to be a small worm that eats the roots and kills the vines outright. C. H. Welch, of Mount Tabor, says that the worms at tack the old vines that have been pro ducing for some time, leaving the vines in newly cultivated land comparatively free. Mr. Welch i-eems to think that unless the evil can be met In some way It will mean considerable lofts to the strawberry Industry, but as yet nobody seems to know where to begin, or what to do. The worms work at the roots under ground, and the first Indication of their presence Is the wilting of the vines. nJaL bowland principal Montavllla Directors Elect Teachers for the Coming Year.
