National Searches for Missing
Thousands Who Disappear
The post office departm ent in ad-i
dition to its other m ultifarious d u ­
ties, has now added a hum anitarian
and sentim ental feature— th a t of
having its many thousands of em­
ployes aid in locating missing peo­
ple. Postm aster K aiser has ju st re­
ceived the following order from
W ill H. Hays, postm aster general,
which has been sent to all post­
m asters:
" It is my wish th a t the machinery
of the postal service be placed at
th e disposal of those searching for
loved ones who have dropped from
sight. Every year thousands in this
country are reported missing; chil-
dr en, young men, young women,
husbands and wives, some never to
be heard of again by th eir distressed
fam ilies and friends. The post of­
fice departm ent w ith its organized
facilities, reaching into every corner
of the land may be of practical serv­
ice to the distressed.
Therefore,
they are willingly offered for this
purpose.

The collision occurred at 12:30
o’clock this morning, two miles east
of Celilo. Train twelve, due to a
washed out bridge at Eagle creek on
the Oregon side of the Columbia riv­
er, was routed over the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle line, when it
left P ortland at 7:30 o'clock last
night. It crossed the Columbia riv­
er at Fallbridge and was proceeding
eastw ard on its own tracks on th e
Oregon side, when it rammed into
seventeen, then nine hours late. It
is believed th at the detouring of the
