Coming to Portland in 1849, tie had been here only a year when he was married and the event was published in the first issue of The Weekly Oregonian, Decem ber 4. 1850. Miss Lucinda Coffin, daughter of General Stephen Coffin, one of the most, distinguished citizens of the Oregon country, was his bride. She died 22 years ago.

In addition to this public service he was several times elected a member of the Legislature. , Colonel Reed was born June 5, 1825, at Manchester, New Harnpshire,. where he was educated and lived until his start westward across the plains. With a natural bent to art he took up that work and followed it at intervals dur ing his life. In connection with Port land history, Col-nel Reed's name will be longest remembered as the first president and custodian of the Port land Public Library Association. He retained the position of custodian only a short time. He was replaced by Thomas J. Dryer, who came up from California and founded The Weekly Oregonian. The library was located in the second story of a wooden build ing at'Front and Morrison streets, long since wrecked for a more modern struc ture. When The Oregonian was estab lished room was made for it in the library quarters and Editor Dryer was made custodian. Two years later Colonel Reed moved to Salem. He lived there until 25 years ago. There he built and for sev eral years conducted Reed's Opera House, once the foremost playhouse of the entire Pacific Northwest country. Returning to Portland he re-engaged in the art business.

Wallace Banker Seeking Republican Nomination for Governor , of Idaho. "We have a local-option law on our statute books. It should be our duty to enforce that, or at least to give it a fair trial. When we have given it a fair trial, and not before, we shall be in a position to say whether we want prohibition." These were the sentiments voiced yes terday by Barney O'Neil, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Idaho at the primaries, August 30. Mr. O'Neil is standing on the local-option ticket, which was the platform on which Governor Brady was elected. Now, according to O'Neil, Brady is trying to get a second term, and hopes to win to the Republican party the Prohibitionists. "He is playing politics." quoth Mr. O'Neil. Mr. O'Neil arrived yesterday from San Francisco and left In the evening for his home at Wallace, Idaho, where he is pres ident of a bank. He is also chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. "I believe in the people having prohibi tion, if the majority of thetn want it. If the Legislature passes a prohibition bill and I am elected Governor, I should cer tainly sign It," said Mr. O'Neil." "But I am convinced the people do not want prohibition. We have a local-option law. That law enables the counties as units to go dry if they so desire. "Your assembly plan seems ideal." con tinued Mr. O'Neil. "Had we the assem bly I should be sure of election, but In our case the assembly does not meet until after the primaries, when it decides the plank the Republican nominee shall adopt. 1 can see where the assembly means clean politics and fair play to all."

Morrison at Seventh CARS MANGLE GIRL Marjorie Mohr, of Lyric Cho rus, Run Over on Trestle. WOUNDS PROBABLY FATAL Stroll In Country Ends Tragically When Girl, Crossing Bridge, Is Struck by Train One IiCjf Cut Off, Other Badly Crushed. Miss Marjorie Mahr, prettiest and most popular of the chorus girls of the Armstrong: Musical Comedy Com pany, playing at the Lyric Theater, was overtaken by a train on a trestle near Fulton yesterday, and her left leg cut off above the knee. The right foot was mangled so badly that it will probably be necessary to amputate it if she survives, which Is not probable. As she went to the operating table Miss Mahr begged that her right leg be spared by the doctors. "I can make a living with that," said the suffering girl. Miss Mahr, Miss Anna Cassell, Miss Dottle Daniels and Henry Byerstedt, the orchestra leader, all members of the company, took a car ride after the matinee yesterday afternoon. At Ful ton they started for a walk down the railroad track through the woods. As they went out upon a trestle they did not hear a train coming swiftly from behind until it was almost upon them. Train Comes Suddenly. Miss Mahr was walking arm-in-arm with Miss Anna Cassell at about the center of the trestle, while Miss Daniels and Beyerstedt were in ad vance of the others near the end of the bridge. When the train was nearly upon them the latter, two were able to run to safety. Miss Cassell crawled out upon one of the platforms provid ed for such emergencies and called to Miss Mahr to follow. Instead, the girl started to run for the -end of the bridge, stumbled and fell across the tracks just as the heavy engine bore down upon her. The engine and three cars passed entirely -over her. Just before the train struck Miss Mahr stuck her head down between the ties; that was all that saved her from instant death. When the train was brought to a standstill the crew rushed back to pick up the apparently lifeless girl. They put her aboard the train and hurried her to the city, and then to the Good Samaritan Hospital, while a physician in one of the cars attended to her in juries as best he could. Girl Pleads With Doctors. At the hospital Miss Mahr regained consciousness sufficiently to tell her right name, which is Mrs. Marjorie Hurtig, wife of Lewis Hurtlg, who is playing in vaudeville in San Francisco. She is 19 years old. As she was on the way to the operating-room she bravely faced the ordeal and pleaded with the doctors. "Please don't take my leg off," she said. "I can make a living with it." At the hospital last night physicians said she will probibly die. As soon as the accident was re ported to Manager Armstrong, of the The Policyholders' Company I Best for Lyric, he wired to San Francisco the aters to locate her husband. Miss Mahr has been a member of the company for nearly a year and has played in Portland for the past six weeks. She was formerly a member of the "Knight For a Day," "Wizard of Oz" and "4J Minutes From Broadway" companies. Dreams of Accident. The girl had a premonition of the tragedy. In conversation with Mrs. Armstrong and other members of the company, she said she had dreamed her leg was injured. Miss Mahr is said to have a brother in California. Her home Is in Indianapolis.
