WOMAN'S CORPSE
George Mayger Returns to
Portland With Body of
Olive Barnes.
HE HAD ELOPED WITH HER
Remains Are Said to Rest In Mount
Calvary Cemetery, and Gay Lo
thario Is Again Seen About
Streets of Portland.
Love and Fate have conspired together
gainst George Mayger, and Fate seems
to have won. George Mayger, after de
serting his wife and children at Mayger
Station and eloping with Olive Barnea, a
telephone girl from Portland, has re
turned with the body of the young wom
an, which now lies In a grave at Mount
Calvary cemetery, leaving a mother and
two sisters In Portland to mourn for her.
With a wife and two children at May
ter Station left In doubt as to the where
abouts of father and husband.- Mayger
suddenly left Portland last September
with Olive Barnes, and for days friends
knd relatives were at a loss to know
what had become of him.' Miss Barnes
Jlsappeared from her home on the same
Say as Mayger, and, although her mother
Sisclaimed any knowledge of her daugh
ter eloping with Mayger, she at last came
to believe that what she had feared had
Come to pass.
Dies in Colorado.
tVhen Mayger left Portland It was re
ported that he had married Miss Barnea
Ind was on his way to Australia by way
Kf New York on his honeymoon. No let
ter or word of any kind was received by
iny of Mayger's relatives, or by relatives
)f the young woman, and It was thought
that they had left Portland for all time.
A week ago Mayger quietly returned
irlth the body of Olive Barnes, and with
little ceremony the remains were laid
way on Decoration day in Mount Calvary
Semetery.
She died In Sllverton, Colo.. May 24, and
Is supposed that, following her wish,
Hayger hrouKht the body to Portland for
lurial. Funeral services were quietly held
it the Catholic Cathedral last Wednes
lay. The mother of the dead girl and
ier sister, with Mayger himself, were
ihe only ones present at the services.
Mother Admits Death.
Mrs. Jennie Barnes, mother of Mrs.
Uayger. when seen nt her home, 3ll Sev
inteenth street, last night, refused to talk
f her daughter's elopement and subse
luent death, other than to say that "she
lupposed the dead girl had been her
laughter." Miss Barnes, sister of Mrs.
Mayger, has been sick for several days
because of grief from her sister's death.
She also Is reticent and refuses to dls
:uss any phase of her sister's sad ending.
George Mayger. although known to be
Yi the city, could not be found at any of
:he hotels last night, to give an account
)f his wanderings since leaving the city
est September.
With one wife In the grave and another
?lth two children tn anxious doubt be
:ause of his strange and sudden dlsap
earance, Mayger remains In Portland,
'.he victim of a strange romance that
talis to but few men.

ter conditions violence Is now rampant In
alexlco: and.
Whereas, the Western Federation of Mln
rs recognises the class struggle throughout
the world, and knows no race or creed in the

FLOOD NOT LIKELY
Hardly Any Danger of River
Overflowing This Year.
WATER FALLING RAPIDLY
Although Lower Docks. Hare Been
Vacated In Some Instances, Gen
eral Exodus Is Not Likely.
3 -Inch Fall Yesterday.
-The danger of a flood during the pres
ent Summer is not likely to happen, ac
cording to river men, as well as the Gov
ernment Weather Bureau officials, for so
far the rise Iti" the waters of the Willam
ette and tributaries has not been of any
notable extent, and no fears of an over
flow are entertained up the Valley.
Flood indications should have appeared
several weeks ago, had there been any
likelihood of the Willamette crowding out
of Its regular course and inundating the
surrounding country.
' The river last evening registered but a
trifle over 12 feet above the normal level,
and as there are no Indications of a rise
In the Columbia, all danger of a flood In
Portland is believed to be past.
In anticipation of a rise of several more
feet during the next few days, many of
the occupants of the wharves have be
gun moving the freight stored on the
lower ones to the upper stories, but the
probability of the water. even flooding the
lower portions Is not likely, for yesterday
the water began falling, and during the
afternoon a decrease of three inches was
recorded, and, -according to river experts,
the decrease can be expected to continue
for several days to come.
Speculation as to the water raising
above Front street has been discontinued,
for there is no likelihood of the water
coming to the street level, even though
some extraordinary rains should be ex
perienced in the near future.
Reports from the mountains state that
the snow accumulated In the canyons
and gulches is not so great as in years
previous to the present, so that the
weather officials are reasonably sure that
there Is hardly any prospect of a flood.
In order to accommodate the larger
vessels, the upper docks are used in many
instances, for the pitch Is too steep for
unloading freight to the lower docks, on
account of the height of the vessels.
Normal conditions are expected to pre
vail in a few weeks.
WANT CHINOOK OPERATED.
Pilots Desire. Dredge to Begin Work
at Columbia Bar Now.
An effort is to be made in the near fu
ture to have the drelge Chinook placed
In operation at the Columbia River bar,
for the water there is said to be shoal
ing In several places since the dredge
wss taken off the work some few months
ago.
The Chinook Is operated by the Port of
Portland Commission, and u.is body is to
be Importuned by the Pilots' Association
to put the vessel back at work In order
to maintain an open channel to the har
bor. The cost of operating the dredge Is es
timated at J1O.000 a month, and the ques
tion of placing the dredge in operation
will probably come up before the next
meeting of the Commission.
FOG SIGNALS A SUCCESS.
Submarine System Works Satisfac
torily Off Scotland Lightship.
NEW YORK, June 2. Captain Smith,
of the White Star line steamer Baltic,
which arrived yesterday, reports that dur
ing a dense fog, while off the Scotland
lightship at 1 o'clock yesterday morning,
the submarine bell telephone system on
his steamer caught the bell recently In
stalled on the lightship. This was of
great advantage, as it gave him Instant
knowledge of his position, the thick
weather making it impossible to sight the
lightship. The Government has installed
submarine bells on a number of light
ships from Maine to Florida, within the
past 60 days, and navigators have been
asked to report any data regarding them.
Captain Smith was the first navigator
to make a report.
Costa Rica Arrives.
The steamer Costa Rica, of the regular
San Francisco line of steamers, arrived
from the South last evening, bringing a
large passenger list and some freight.
Captain Curtis reports everything favora
ble on the up trip and good time was
made from the Golden Gate.
Steamer Craighall Ashore.
GIBRALTAR. June 2. The British
steamer Craighall, from Cardiff for 9e
vona, is ashore off Point Ceres and is
being attacked by Moors. The British
cruiser Amethyst and a torpedo boat are
proceeding to the steamer's assistance.

place in the ranks of labor. Of unques

average ability, if elected Constable he
will serve the people faithfully and well.
To know Harry Gurr is to admire him
for his frank honesty. He ought to be
