years, 4-year-old daughter Dorothy,
and 3-year-old son Loren W. Jr.,
were fatally burned Saturday. Mt

Mount Solo, Wash. The mother and

accident, passing away within two
minutes of each other. The little
girl perished in the fire which des

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

Services for the victims of the ter

Senator Watson’s declaration for

Upon their
