The mother and son lived for several hours after the accident, passing away within two minutes of each other. The little girl perished in the fire which des­ troy«! the house. Mrs. Young was a niece of Mrs. Inez Gulliks, 92nd street milliner, and was well and favorably known in Portland. Her brother, Clarence Dodge, was with her immediately after the accident occurred, having been summoned from Inman-Poulsen Camp No. 4, two milts from the scene, and carried the injured boy two miles down the mountainside to med­ ical aid. Services for the victims of the ter­ rible affair were held at Finley's chapel and burial was in Rose Qty Park cemetery, mother and two ba­ bies being interred together. Mrs. Young is survived by her hus­ band, Loren W., superintendent of Inman-Poulsen Camp 5, Mount Solo, Wash., several brothers and a sister. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Dodge and daugh ter Audrey, of Seattle; Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Dodge of Forest Grove, and Clarence Dodge, were present at the services, as were Mrs. H. D.

L. BIAUFUS AND FAMILY. I ~ r ' Sixty Year» to Pay War Debts Senator Wataon of Indiana (por- trait t herewith) advocate, extension of time > for the payment of the war debt over • a period of 60 years. H. urges that to lighten the tax burden. Ro­ peal of the excess profits tax and re- duction of the surtaxes on large in­ comes also are urged by him. Senator Watson’s declaration for the extension of the time for payment Is presumably significant as showing a decided drift of opinion among the Republican leaders. It has been the program of the treasury department to pay up the war debt within 25 years. Anyway. Senator Watson dis­ cussed the tax situation following his return from a conference at Philadel­ phia with Senator Penrose. The Penn­ sylvania senator is chairman of the finance committee. It was Senator Watson's opinion that hearings on either tax or tariff legislation should start soon after the holidays to get It well under way by the time a special session Is called under the new administration. Representative Longworth of Ohio, favors repeal of the excesa profits tax and the substitution of a tax on undistributed profits of corporations. He says ha will not believe congress will approve a sales tax. Monday of last week T. G. Samuel and Mis Zepha Perry slipped away to Oregon City and were there united in marriage by Rev. Willis E. Petti­ bone, pastor of the Baptist church of that city. The couple were accompa­ nied by Mrs. Robinson of Portland, a InenU of toe bnde.

The nome ol toe bride ia in Riddle, south­ ern Oregon, and while she is not so well know u as Mr. Samuel in this lo­ cality she is an estimable young lady. Sunday Mr. Samuel called a num­ ber of friends on the telephone and invited them to visit the home of the newly-weds, not informing them of what had taken place. Upon their arrival a big jollification was held, and the guests, who had not been taken as badly by surprise aa Mr. and .Mrs. Samuels expected, congratulated the couple. Dinner was served to 24, a specially decorated table being re­ served for the younger guests. Among those present were Tom El­ lis, leading merchant of Rainier, Or., and his family; A. Atiyeh, prominent Oriental rug importer of Portland, and family; J. A. Teeny, Arleta mer­ chant, and family; D. Hattem and family of Portland; A- Y. Azar, and several others whose names the Her­ ald could not learn. Speeches were made by Messrs. Atiyeh and Azar, and several of the ladies contributed musical numbers to the informal pro­ gram. The gathering dispersed at a late hour. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel were the re­ cipients of many beautiful presents, including an Oriental bedroom rug valued at 8250, the gift of Mr. Atiyeh. cut glass, sewing basket, handsome silk garments for Mrs. Samuel, and other valuable articles, besides the usual floral tributes. They will make thier home in Lents. The Herald was in possession of information regarding the wedding last week, but in deference to Mr. Samuel's wish to surprise his friends with Sunday’s affair, consented to withholding it for a week. We join with all their acquaintances in wish- *n<’ them a long and happy wedded life. Margaret Ix-itch turned in 45,800 votes this week in the trade-at-home contwt and earned 85 by her efforts.
