Little Boy Drowns
Little Martin Morast of Warren-
ton, 9 years old, was drowned m
Skipanon Creek Wednesday evening
about 7 o'clock. He had been seen
playing about the water with a long
pole, and later when he failed to come
to his home a search was made. The
body of the unfortunate little lad was
found lying at the bottom of the
creek, and thought it appeared as if
it had not been in the water very
long, all efforts to revive him proved
unavailing. ' His father is in Eureka,
having gone there about a week ago,
and it will not be possible for him to
arrive home for the funeral, which

Wanta Crawfish-
Mr. F. Robinson, 8181 Dearborn
street, Seattle, has written to the
Chamber of Commerce, explaining
that he is a large dealer in crawfish.
He has heard that there are some of
the largest and best of these crusta-
ceons to be had along the lower Co
lumber river and is anxious to cor
respond with fishermen or others
who would be interested in catching
a supply of crawfish and shipping
them to him as certain intervals, say
every day or every other day so that
he would be able to depend upon a
supply for his trade." He says that
if such an arrangement can be made
he can build up a big business in
Columbia river crawfish. Parties in
terested can write this dealer direct.

claims that his atcion was without
felonious intent. He was preparing
to leave for San Francisco this morn
ing. Is Less Truancy
Like Astoria, the Ctty of Pendleton
has .'had - trouble wi,th the large
amount of truancy from the public
schools. During the past year, how
ever, there has vbeen a striking de
crease in the truancy, and this bet
terment is due almost wholly to the
enforcement of the state law regard
ing attendance at school. According
to the Pendleton newspapers, there
is an increase over last year of more
than 10 per CSnt, and this increase is
wholly' attributed to the compulsory
education law, for while there were
