wooden cop Lane, Giles W. City to Have Motor Cycle and Motor Cop
the town council at the regular mmeting Monday evening instructed the town clerk to negotiate with the Marysville Garage for the purchase of a motorcycle for the use of a "motor cop: who will work in conjunction with the county authorities in enforceing the speed regulations both in town and on the Pacific Highway east and north of Marysville.
The council also arranged for a sign post to be erected in the center of the crossing at State and Third streets as suggested by the Globe last week. The post will be movable but heavy enough to resist the breezes and if any auto driver carelessly runs over it he'll probably wish he hadn't. It will have on it directions to "keep to the right" with fingers pointing the direction of the Pacific Highway, so that auto drivers won't make the mistake of driving around town inquiring the way to Bellingham or Everett
The job of patrolling the city's approaches on the motorcycle will probably be added to the many duties of our faithful marshal Pat Powers, and he will doubtless have occasion to gather in a few fines for the city treasury before the traveling public are thoroughly trained to a proper observance of the speed law.
Two more propositions of public convenience were placed in the hands of the proper committees with power to act. One was the installation of an automatic water tap on the east side of the city park and the other the placing of grabage cans in the business district adjoining the interections of State and Second and Third streets.

death Swinnerton, George GEORGE SWINNERTON 11-YEAR-OLD BOY DROWNS LAST FRIDAY
The community was saddened when news reached town Friday afternoon, that George Swinnerton, an eleven-year-old boy, was drowned from a launch near Priest Point shortly after 3'oclock. The boy was an orphan; whose home is in Everett with his grandmother, Mrs. Fuller, and was in Marysville visiting with the family of Steve Saunders, his uncle, and other relatives.
The boy had obtained permission to go with a boy friend about his age, Clancy Tallman, on the launch "Queen" in charge of Duane Tallman, which was going for a boom of logs to a short distance this side of Priest Point. He was seen by Mr. Tallman on the bow of the boat just before it touched bottom at the boom where they were tying up. Clancy Tallman and his uncle, Willis Tallman, who was on shore near the boom house, also saw him after the boat touched, but five minutes later after Duane had finished getting some ropes ready for his tow at the stern of the boat, he missed the Swinnerton boy and a search over the boat failing to disclose him, they at once began dragging the water.
The Tallman boy thinks he heard a splash, but he was busy holding the stern of the boat away from the boom log with a pike pole and paid little attention, thinking it might be a fish.
As the boat was grounded the water was shallow there, but shelved off rapidly, and as the tide was just starting in the body may have been carried some distance in a short time by the undertow. Constant search was kept up till dark and each day since without avail.
We are told that this is the first time in seven years that a drowning of Marysville people has occurred in the nearby waters.
death Young, Stella Local and Personal
The death of Stella Young of tuberculosis occurred on Wednesday last week at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Young, on the reservation several miles from Marysville. The funeral was held Thursday at the Tulalip Catholic church, Rev. Father O'Dennell of Everett officiating.
