WHY MR. CLARKE DID
NOT GO HOME TO SUP
Busy Getting Married to Mies
Duke and Forgot All About
His Dinner.
A. J. Clarke, a florist, did not go home
for dinner Monday evening. He went to
the courthouse to Interview County
Clerk Fields instead. The interview was
for the purpose of securing a marriage
license. This precious bit of paper se
cured, Mr. Clarke hied away to the home
of Miss Cecilia K. Duke, S47 Bast
Twelfth street. A few minutes later
Miss Duke became Mrs. A. J. Clarke.
Out at the home of Mr. Clarke, on East
forty-fifth street, near the Section Line
road, the tarn that had been poured for
him stood cold In his oup, grease gath
ered around the mutton-chops, and .the
hot mlnce pie became frigid. Still Mr.
Clarke did not come home. After sev
eral hours of weary .waiting his relatives
began to fear that some wicked hlghway
msn had waylaid Mr. Clarke and had
killed him for his moaey.
The police station was telephoned to
and a search was at once begun for the
missing man. There waa some talk of
securing the services of Hugh Brady, the
diver, to drag the river In hope of re
covering the body. But Mr. Clarke ap
peared at his store yesterday, smiling
the smile of the contented.
T have just, been married, and am
happy as can be," he said. "The mar
riage was rather quiet, I admit The
ceremony was performed in this city. I
am sorry the police were put to so much
hother."

STRINGENT LAWS TO
PREVENT FOREST FIRES
law to prevent a repetition of last
summer's Umber fires Is assuming more
importance than ever before, In view of
the need next year for having clear
skies and a wholesome atmosphere for
the benefit of visitors to the Lewis and
Clark fair. Senator R. A. Booth of Eu
gene, who introduced a bill In the, last
legislature to prevent forest fires, is
quoted as saying that hp will make no
effort to secure the passage of a strin
gent law at the next session. He ex
presses the belief that a strict law Is
not seeded, and that the settlers have
learned the danger of setting' fires. He
says that campers' fears of wsrdens
will deter them from careless handling
of Area In the woods. He favors a law
providing that no slashings shall be
burned without firat procuring a permit
from some legally constituted authority,
and that auch fires should be set only
after a rain, when the conditions are
beet adapted to good resulta for the
settler hi. the burning of .slashings.

Engineer. Hartman of the steamer Re
public, is of the opinion that some one
waa drowned early yesterday morning
near the dock at the foot of Washing
ton etreet- Just previous to the sup
posed accident or suicide he was on the
steamer faat asleep, but waa aroused by
a shout ana what appeared to be a
heavy aplash in the wster.
The engineer says be Immediately
srose and went to Investigate. Walk
ing out on the gangplank he found a
sat and arrived at the conclusion that
the man to whom It belonged had fallen
IntS the river a few minutes previous
and had been drowned. Ha searched
In the water In that vicinity for al
most half an hour, but seeing no one
he returned and went to bed. When day
light came he reported the matter to
Captain Shaver, the owner of the dock.
It waa at first thought that some of
the employes about the boat or dock
had met with an accident, but It was
soon ascertained that none of them waa
missing. The theory la advanced that
a stranger wandered down to the water
front and stumbled Into the river.
. A fatal accident was narrowly averted
at the same dock. As J. V. Campbell,
a Portland business man, waa boarding
the Republic he slipped and fell off the
gangplank. He Intended to go down
to the Willamette slough to hunt ducks,
and was carrying two shotguns and
two "slickers." He dropped the guns
and coats, and attempted to swim
toward the boat But he waa burdened
with heavy clothtavg and could make
but alow progress. Finally a rope was
thrown to him and he was towed ashore.
The firearms sank in about 40 feet of
water. By means of grappling hooks
they were later recovered. But Camp
bell did not wait for them. Borrowing
another gun he went on down the river
to shoot ducks. The extra gun and coat
he serried belonged to one of his friends
who Intended to accompany him. The
slickers are still In the river.
