TREE ROOT HELD CORPSE ,' Xnmate of Oddfellows' Home Who Disappeared Fortnight Ago Slay Have Ended Life Son in Portland Only Relative. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Feb. 20. '(Special.) After all hope of finding: her had been given up, two workmen engaged In tearing down a mill dam In Mill creels today, within the city limits, came upon the dead body of Mrs. Alice M. ISaton, the woman who wandered from the Odd Fellows' Homo here two weeks ago today. Had not the Pacific Flour Mills Su- perintendent feared a flood from the ' overdue Chinook melting the foot of enow now on the ground and ordered , the dam let out, the body would prob i ably not have been discovered for ; months. Part of the clothing was fast i ned to a tree root which held it on ! the bottom. Cloth Leads to Body. j Last Friday, Allen Mulkey visited the jond and noticed a piece of cloth floating on the surface but did not think of Mrs. Eaton as the pond had been dragged several times. This after noon he and Stanley Johnson went to tear down the breastworks and after ; the water had receded somewhat Mulk- ' ey again noticed the cloth. He ran a rake Into the clothing and the body was partially pulled above the 'sur face. Coroner George McMartin was notified. Considerable difficulty was experienced in freeing the dead woman's clothing from th snag. Authorities refuse to believe the woman met with foul play but are of the opinion that she, suffering from dementia, walked from the home with 1 the deliberate intention of taking her own life. Her son, W. H. Eaton, the only living blood relation, was notified. He left his home in Portland tonight tor "Walla Walla. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow afternoon. Identification Is Easy. Owing to the cold weather the body was In a fair state of preservation and When once the mangled mass of hair rwas lifted from the dead woman's face and shoulders it was not at all diffi cult to identify her. When found, one hand clenched her coat while the other liad a death grip on her " disheveled hair. For years the deceased lived at Lin den. Wash. She was CI years old and a member of the Linden Rebekah lodge. She had been an inmate of the tome for three years. Mulkey and Johnson will divide the J60 reward offered by the Home for recovery of the body. GENERAL'S ADVICE TAKEN Transfer of Colonel Abercromble Follows Recommendation of Maus.

MORGAN TO USE YUCATAN ELL - FATED CRAFT TO TAKE FINANCIER TO EUROPE. Salvage Steamer Santa Cruz Rushes North to Raise and Refit Boat for Cruise This Summer. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 20. (Specials Following the hasty departure today from Seattle of the Salvage steamer San ta Cruz for Mud Bay in Icy Straits, where the steamer Yucatan of the Alaska Steamship Company is ashore, it was re ported that ! the vessel would be raised, refitted and used next summer as a pleas ure craft by J. Pierpont Morgan on a cruise to Europe. Over the telephone tonight. President Charles E. Peabody, of the Alaska Steamship Company, who recently re turned from a trip to New York, refused to make any statement regarding the pro posed trip of Morgan. He would not deny the rumor, stating he had nothing to say, and this is taken here to mean that the report is correct. Last summer, the Yucatan was hand somely fitted out to. take a party of East ern men headed by George W. Perkins, of New York, on a pleasure voyage to the North and the glowing reports of the trip given by Perkins is said to have stirred Morgan to a desire to see the country himself. ' Anxiety to save the Yucatan is shown by the fact that without waiting for in structions from the marine underwriters in London which would take two or thre,e days, the Alaska Steamship Company au thorized the Santa Cruz to go North. A report of a survey held Friday by masters and chief engineers on the Santa Ana and Yucatan, received by General Manager F. E. Burns yesterday, confirm ed previous reports. . She was no doubt badly damaged after she struck the ice berg, but in making for the beach at Mud Bay the vessel hit a reef and it is believed this impact made the large hole In her bow. She is resting on a boulder bottom with thirty-five feet of water aft and sixteen feet off her bow. She is protected from -all but northeast winds. The Santa. Cruz will reach the wreck in five days, and, being equipped with wire less, can acquaint the company of prog ress on the Yucatan. President J. E. Pharo, of the salvage company, takes per sonal charge of the work. I Graham, of tha traffic department of tho Tips." FRESHMEN AID GYM FUND Vancouver Students Contribute $2 00 Toward Buying Site.

Old PACI IT? V WILL HAVE CAPITAL STOCK $200,000 SURPLUS $400.000 SAFETY In every investment there are two considerations safety and profit. The most important is safety; no one is justified in putting money into any enterprise unless it- can be shown: that the money so invested is prac tically insured-against loss. To place funds in a concern of any other character is speculation. The capital stock of the UNION PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COM-. PANY is an absolutely safe invest ment. In considering this investment offer, therefore, the following should be borne in mind: First That immense fortunes have been and are being made in life insur ance the most profitable of all forms of legitimate business. Second That there is a growing sen timent towards the upbuilding of home institutions of every kind, and espe cially in regard to life insurance. Third That the UNION PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY stock "is absolutely safe under the legal re serve laws, and will grow more rapidly in value than any other stock available. Fourth That bv securing stock in' the UNION PACIFIC LIFE INSUR ANCE COMPANY you have the op portunity of personally and effectively promoting the business of a company in which you are interested, and thus adding to your profits, and the value of your holdings. PROFIT On account of the high percentage of success, and because the profits are greater . than in any other business, there is no better investment than that in a flourishing life insurance company. Life insurance companies have, therefore, been practically financed with the result that the enormous profits which they have made, and are making, remain in a few hands. The plan of the Union Pacific Life Insurance Company in distributing its capital stock in a w,ay by which it not only offers a remarkable opportunity for investment, but, at the same time, puts into effect a successful method of securing the co-operation of its stock holders in the upbuilding of" the com pany, affords an opportunity which will be quickly seen and accepted. Don't wait until the Stock is either Advanced in price or Withdrawn from the Market. BUY NOW! For further information address Union Pacific Life Insurance Company Home Office, Portland, Oregon.

Stripping every piece of clothing from his body, Alex Floren, last Wednesday night, walked into the snow-oovered Eagle Creek hills back of Camp No. 3, operated by Randall & Baker In the construction of the Oregon Trunk Line, and without doubt has perished. No particular effort has as yet' been made to find him. Florrfh was a stranger to the camp workmen and was first noticed by them as thej- returned from work the evening of February 15. Floren was then seen about a mile from the camp seated upon hia bedding. When addressed Floren re fused to answer, and asked by one of the men If he was 111. Floren nodded his head. The following morning the men who had first observed Floren went back to ascertain why he had not come in. They found the bundle of bedding, and neatly piled above it, was all the clothing in which Floren had been dressed when last seen. Prints of the man's bare feet could be seen leading away from the spot. Two employes of the grading camp at once followed the trail. As the sun grew warmer Floren's footprints were oblit erated by the melting snows and the search was abandoned. Contractor Baker mounted a horse and rode through the woods in an effort to discover Floren and word was sent to the authorities of "Wasco County, but they had not put in an appearance up to the" night of Feb ruary 18. On that day snow fell in the Eagle Creek Mountains, and it is now considered useless to attempt to rescue the missing man.

A sister, Mrs. Malberg, is named as the beneficiary. The age of Floren was given as 35 years. A 17-Jewel Hamilton open-face gold watch was also found.
