Attorneys Marks and Corleas of Portland represented Myen. The sensation of the trial was sprung Thursday morning when Mrs Ixulte Nye Myert. wife of the plain tiff, voluntarily appeared In tbe court room and testified for the defendant She and her husband had been mar ried about four yean but during that lime they had many troubles. They had lived together, she said, merely berause they were married, not be cause they had love for each other.

Attorney Dlmlck declared that tbe case was nothing more than an attempt to secure money from Walsh.

BIGGEST CARNIVAL DAY YET ILL BE ROSE SHOW AND BOOSTER DAY THIS YEAR SAY There is a certain air of mystery sur rounding the plans for Oregon City's big carnival day on May 23. The varl- ous committees, having charge of the occasion, are making rapid progress In their arrangements nnd tho plans are already well shaped. All who attended the Joint celebra tion of the Rose Show and Booster Day last year agreed that It was the most successful carnival day Oregon City has ever seen. This year all the Im portant attractions of last year's event will be provided including the Rose 8how which many visitors say rivals the big Portland Rose Show in Its beauty and fine display the monster stock show and parade with its show ing of, Clackamas county's finest In the way of pure bred and registered stork of all kinds, the mammoth pa rade of floats and automobiles dec orated with the roses and othr flow ers of which the Willamette valley Is so Justly proud and all the other amusement and educational features which altogether furnish a day replete with entertainment. In addition to all these features, however, new and special attractions are hinted at but not disclosed as yet. Just what the nature of these added OF COMMITTEE features will be Is being kept a pro found secret. There is one new feature already an nounced and that is a competitive ex hibition of the work of amateur photo graphers. Every one owning a cam era will be expected to display some of their best photographs and prizes will be offered for the best work in several classes. Tbe details of tbis contest have not yet been worked out hut It is understood that awards will be limited to pictures of Clackamas county subjects. It is expected that further announcements of this feature will be made within a few more days. Slxty'five tons of salmon, believed to be the record catch at tho falls of the Willamette, were taken from the river on the opening night of the sea son. Tbis estimates Is based on fig ures made by cannerymen and fish wardens. The season opened Satur- day noon but the ftbh nets were not dropped until late that afternoon and it was 8 o'clock Sunday morning be fore all the fish were in. There is not much doubt but that there were more fish token out of the river In the one night than any night since fish have been caught in tbe Willamette with nets. Jack Hum phreys, the oldest man on the river who has appeared here every spring for the last 35 years, declared Sunday that he never experienced such a catch. In the earlier days, Individual catches were probably as large, he said, but owing to the number of nets out the total catch of tbe best days of previous seasons would not equal the number pulled In Saturday night and Sunday morning. Wardens Take Six Nets. The launches that come from the cannery were loaded with fish and a scow was secured to take the rest of the catch down the river. Several of the individual catches were enormous. Charles Gates with his associates and Charles Ely each caught between bIx and seven tons of fish while many of the fishermen brought In two, three and four ton-catches. The night's work was not without its lawbreaken. Wardens Clarke, Jewell and Ware, who are stationed here, found six nets without licenses. In such cases the nets and fish are taken. Warden Jewell Sunday dis played a receipt for 530 of salmon caught in uullcensod nets. The money is turned into the state game fund. Fishermen say that almost all of the fish taken out now are old and have been In the river for a long time. In cluded In the catch were a few steel heads, although 95 per cent are Chi nook. Jack Albright landed one 30 pound carp, said to be the largest caught here for several seasons. Trollert Out Sunday. Although with the beginning of the net fishing season, the trolling season is considered over, 40 or 60 boats filled with line fishermen were out Sunday morning but only a few catches were made. The Gill bill, which will close the river to net fishing from the falls as far down the river as the suspension bridge, will become effective May 22. This stretch of water is the best In the river as a large majority of the fish are taken from these deep holes, Judging from the catches made this season. Sunday night's fishing was not as successful as the night preceding but the catch was fair. N'earlng the laat lap of Iho --'a celebration of the opening of tb ( lllo loki and the tranafer to llio t'nlted Ktate government of the Ore gon City water ay, the tlebranta' artMtlea were moved yeaterday morn ing from Big Eddy lo Oregon City where Oovernvra, Henaton, Congress man and other high dignatarle of the Northweat enjoyed the lavUh hospi tality of the pioneer town where the lock a for Willamette river travel have Juat been transferred lo tbe I'nlted Statea after many yeart of private ownership.

Crowdt were enter tained during tbe early morning hour by bandt of music, and thortly after 9 o'clock nundredt of people arrive I from up river points and from Port land, tbe arrival of 42 maids from the Northweat who to ttanding at tpont n for their respective townt being the tlgnal for a great demonstration. They came from Portland In a fleet of tnotorboati and were escorted to the Commercial Club and the parade wat formed. Tbe line of march extended for many blocks, and In the parade were Governor Wltnycombe and other state official, at well aa officials from Washington, Idaho and Montana. Then were 40 automobiles In the big parade, W. R. Logut waa marshal and 400 pupllt of tbe city schoolt were a feature of the parade. The addresses at the courthouse square were notable. T. W.

Light ft Power Co, formally delivered the Willamette River locks lo Colonel C. H. McKlnstry, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Gov. ernor Wltnycombe responded and the "meeting of the watera" ceremony fol lowed. Miss Satle Sullivan, maid of Oregon City, taking water from the upper river and deposltng it below the falls. The audience sang "America" and Oscar Lawrence Woodfin rendered Candam's "At Dawing", accompanied by Miss Sadye- Evelyn Ford. Ad dresses were made by J. N". Teal, Gov ernor Lister of Washington, Governor Alexander of Idaho, Senator Prady of Idaho, Representative Humphrey of Washington, Congressman Hawley, of Oregon and Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. The visitors were then es corted to the Commercial Club where a sumptuous luncheon was served and the party, including the staff of Ad miral P. T. McBain, of Oregon City, departed on special steamers for Port land to participate in the celebration there. MO IS HELD UP Only 3.4 per cent of the surface of Norway la cultivated. Tbe second automobile hold-up in the deep cut just north of Mllwaukie in two weeks Wednesday night sent Sheriff Wilson of this county and Sheriff Hurlburt of Multnomah county on their trail but up to an early hour this morning no arrest had been made. Peyond the fact that there was a holp-up, very little is known of the affair. The robber or robbers stretch ed a wire across tho road forcing the automobile to stop. After the pas sengers in the car had been searched, the car was allowed to go on into Portland. Upon arrival in the city. word was sent to Sheriff Hurlburt and Sheriff Wilson. The names or number of persons in the car had not been learned by Sher iff Wilson, who left for Mllwaukie as soon as the report reached here, early this morning. It was rumored that the party was from Oregon City. COUNCILMAN SUED FOR $25. John F.
