Patrick Tally, Former San Francisco Convent Student, Re jects Guardian's Wishes, Wed Man Not legally Divorced. NORTH BEXD, Or., May 19. (Spe cial.) Long: of the belief that she was a lawfully married woman, with two pretty children, a boy aged 4 and a daughter of 20 months, Mrs. Patrick Tully, of this city, niece of William Wood, the millionaire woolen manu facturer of boston and other Massa chusetts towns, received a heartbreak ins shock, when a letter came to Mr. Tully from his former wife, asking where to tind the records of their di vorce. Mr. and Mrs. Tully could not believe they were involved in such an unus'ual position until they made inquiries in Lioa Angeles, where the divorce was supposed to have been granted, and learned to their dismay that not only they, but Mr. Tully's former wife and Martin Schroeder, whom she married after separating from Mr. Tully, were ail without the law and none were le gally married, excepting Mr. Tully and his first wife. Mrs. Tully No. 2 is a beautiful bru nette and was trained and educated at a prominent San Francisco convent until she was of age. Her education was provided by her uncle, who gave her a monthly allowance and brought her to womanhood with the expecta tion she would marry as he might Uictate. But love affairs are not manufac tured to order, and when she met Pat rick Tully, who was conducting a real estate office in San Diego, they fell in love and married without the uncle's consent. Mr. Tully was comfortably well off and the couple saw nothing excepting a blissful future. William Wood at once cut off the allowance he had been giving, her and refused to have anything more to do with her. Mr. Tully is a Coos Bay contractor and erected a number of the best build ings in Marshfield. He came to Coos Bay 10 years ago and this has been his home, excepting at intervals when he spent a few months in Southern Cali fornia. His first marriage was to Miss MolUe E. McCarthy, at Duluth. of which city both were residents. Unable to agree on domestic rela tions, they separated and for three years remained apart, later taking up their residence in Los Angeles, but not together. A year after their arrival there, and after meeting and discussing their af fairs, they concluded to make their separation permanent, agreed on di vision of their property and arranged for a divorce. The payment to Mrs. Tully was between $5000 and $6000, but no divorce was recorded. It seemed that it was understood between them that Mr. Tully was to de fault to Mrs. Tully's action.- It ap peared afterward that Mrs. Tully, not familiar with legal requirements, failed to appear for the trial, and no divorce was granted, each, however, taking it for granted that a decree had ffeen entered. Mr. Tully said today that he was not aware, now the affair had become pub lic, what the ending would be, but he would stand by his second family and get the distressful situation cleared p as quickly as possible. He expects Mrs. Tully will' return to Los Angeles, where her father resides, and remain until the family can be reunited. EPWORTH MEETING ON BALLY IS HELD AT SUKJiYSIDE METHODIST CHURCH.

Juan de la Cruz has appeared nuder the Morosco banner before in "Peer Gynt" and for Pallas pictures in "The Gentleman from Indiana." Following his appearance in these productions, in which he presented excellent char acterizations, he met wjth considera ble success with other West Coast pro ducing companies. Born in Copenha gen, the handsome actor received his first stage training in drama and opera at the Royal Opera-House in Copenha gen. Later he appeared in the lead ing houses of London, Berlin, Paris and ether metropolitan cities. Katherine Griffith, who appeared with particular success In "The Heart of Maryland" with Mrs. Leslie Carter, has played in stock, vaudeville," musical comedy and in dramatic productions.

Mr. Chase has jnany friends among patrons of both screen and stage and will be displayed in important roles in Morosco productions. Collier Issues AVarnlnj;. William Collier, who is starring in the new Triangle-Ince release, "The Nc-Good Guy," has a message for act ors of the speaking stage who contem plate going Into the pictures. The gist o! his message is, "Prepare for the worst." "In my last picture alone," he de clares, "I had to drive an automobile through a plate glass shop window, chase a four-poster bed around a room in deadly fear that the cursed thing might catch up with me and bump me into oblivion; get hit with a. cartload of wreckage from an eight-story build ing blown up with a bomb which I had to plant myself; get hit over the head with a very real blackjack that sent me down hollering f orlrepanning; hurl myself against a wall with such force that I go through to the other side, and otherwise show myself as barely human. I repeat at the top of my lungs and in the face of my long-term contract, 'Stay where you are! Your country needs you!' "You can't possibly get fat in the pictures. Roscoe Arbuckle was fatter than he is today when he first applied to Mack Sennett for his present job. For my part, I'll admit that I'm heav ier, but that s because I carry sad irons in my pockets to prevent being blown away. The pictures have no re spect for age, quiet tastes or anatomy." Kolker In Fight. Henry Kolker, who heads the sup porting cast of Billy Burke In the new George Kleine motion picture novel. "Gloria's Romance," from the pen of and Mrs. Ripert Hughes, has done all sorts of stunts during the time he has been appearing in various motion picture plays, but he thinks Director Walter Edwin, producer of f'Gloria's Romance," went the limit when he" or dered him to engage in a hand-to-hand combat with a real Seminole Indian chief in chapter two of the Rupert Hughes story. Edwin insisted also on tho fight being a real one, frequently yelling to the combatants to "put some pep in it." and otherwise urging them on. Then, just to make things more interesting for Henry, the scenario permittted the Indian to be armed with a knife when the battle begun, while Kolker had to use only his bare fists. The popular leading man took his re venge on the Indian and landed some vicious uppercuts and a few stiff strargTU-arm jabs that brought a grunt from the. redskin ere the battle ended. Screen Gossip. , J. Searle Dawley, is quietly furbish lnsr up his knowledge of swordplay. The Famous Players director is soon to stage a big scene in which there is a sword fight between the hero, who is attempting to rescue Marguerite Clark, and several villains who are de tying him to do so. , That's it, Searle, be fierce. . The pet baby panther belonging to Stuart Holmes, the Fox movie villain and his French-speaking parrot had a brief mixup last week. The parrot at tempted to eat the bread and -milk fed to the baby" panther. The scrap lasted only a few seconds, but Holmes' apart ment looked as though someone had been scattering green confetti about the place for a couple of days. There Is nothing green about the panther. but the parrot is suffering from bald ness along the left side. "Audiences, to me, are as essential to motion pictures as the screen itself," de fares Mary Charleson. "I love my audiences, look to them for advice and take advantage of their suggestions. "1 do not desert them, as did the lit tle girl whose mother asked her: " 'Maude, that little boy next door swears like a trooper; I hope you don't play with him. " 'Oh, no, mother,' answered Maude, 'he's'taught me all he knows now.'" The operations of the Rialto Film Corporation have been largely kept a secret from the trade. Jesse J. Gold- burg, the general manager of the com pany, however, has now stated that the initial production of that company is entitled "The House of Mirrors," a play conceived by Frederick Chapin. Frank Mills, formerly with the Tri angle Film Corporation, is starred in the production and is supported by Lil lian Kcmblc, who has appeared under the management of William A. Brady. John Cort and Winthrop Ames; Bliss Milford, formerly ingenue lead in the Edison Company; Harry Spingler, J. Frank Glendon, Rudolph Cameron, Runa Hodges and Master Jack Curtis. James Young has been given entire charge, according to official ennounce rr.ent, of ihe Mabel Norman Feature Company, which is producing non slapstick comedies, with that former Keystone favorite in the lead. We con gratulate Jimmy on this tribute to his ability and Miss Normand on her good luck in getting a director of James' class. v According to. her own confession. Hazel Dawn, the Famous Players star, is so optimistic and has such a keen sense of humor (hat if she ever looked at herself in the glass crying she would burst out laughing. In order to obtain the "proper real ism for one of the important scenes in The Secret of the Submarine," the new American-Mutual photo-novel, a lighthouse standing 60 feet in height and built for the most part of stone and concrete, was erected in the Pa cific, a few miles below Los Angeles. Two days after its completion 100 pound.? of dynamite were placed inside- and touched off. When the smoke cleared nothing of the lighthouse was to be seen. Three thousand dollars had gone up in smoke solely to furnish a thrill for the picture fans. ' A string of a dozen box cars, recently purchased for the filming of several of the scenes of "Whispering Smith," are now located on a siding of the South ern Pacific Railroad at Los Angeles.

Addison Bennett Finds Excess of Praiseworthy Features and Pre dicts Wonderful Future for Knt ire Neighboring Section. BY ADDISON BENNETT. STAYTON, Or.. May 19. (Staff Cor respondence.) Stayton is situated about 20 miles northeast of Albany and practically the same distance nearly due east of Saem. It is on the Santiam River if it was Just across that river it would be in Linn County. Being in tne Willamette Valley, there seems no possible reason to mention its climate; being just in the edge of the Waldo Hills, it may seem to be superlluous to say that the land surrounding the town is "about as good as there is on earth nnti that the most of this land is high ly improved and owned and worked as a rule by prosperous and intelligent farmers. I do not know whether to call Stayton a city or a town, but the reader can consider it has a population of about 1000 and call It whichever set-ms appropriate. It is not a new place by any means. The first building was erected on the townsite yome 45 years ago and the town platted soon after, in 1872, to be exact. 1 got - these facts from the man who had the first building erected and ran a general store here for many years; in fact he retired from business onlva few months ago. His name is W. H. Hobson. He has been a proml nent man in the valley for nearly all of his life and served three terms in the State Senate, from 1895 to 1901. He was born in North Carolina and came here with his parents in 1849. They would have arrived in the Summer of 1847. but the party they were with got off the Oregon Trail and landed in Sacramento, where they remained a yeai. Sawmill F.arly Venture. ' In 1852 Drury F. Stayton and his family came from Missouri and took land close to where the Hobsons had settled, within a mile or so of where Stayton is situated. Mr. Stayton built a sawmill near his land in 1868 and it is still running. Well, "it" has burned a couple of times, but practically speak ing the Stayton sawmill has been in operatioij or 48 years. I wonder how many sawmills there are in Oregon that antedate it. Then in 1872 Mr. Stayton purchased the land where most of the town now stands and platted the townsite ot Stayton. So you see it has been a reg ular town for 44 years. You may say it is small for its age, but If any place in the state has suffered for the lack of railroads, or even a railroad, then that town is Stayton. Thert are rail roads all around it, they run through its front yard and its back yard, but none ever got closer than a couple of miles, and this the Corvallis & Eastern, which has a station at Kingston, from which place the Stayton shipments are mostly made. Railroad Dreams Nnmrrouii. .About the railroad hopes and the railroad troubles of the Stayton peo ple there is no use .writing. But on many occasions they have had visions of rail connections, only to have them dispelled before they became reali ties. And yet in spite of that the peo ple of the town have gone on prosper ing and will so go on until they have a railroad and then look out foa a fine city on the Stayton townsite. That such a day will come there seems 'no doubt, and It may come sooner than the Stayton people expect. But they are not worrying overmuch about the mat ter. They have a good town and know it they can point to many places in tlie Northwest where they have even a couple of railroads and yet there is not a tithe of the business that is done in Stayton. Aside from the trade of a prosperous farming community the town has quite a payroll, there being the large saw mill, two flouring mills, a woolen mill, an excelsior factory, a cheese factory and a. chair factory. It is true the latter is not running Just at present and that the cheese factory is Just out side the city-limits, but the chalrfac tory will probably soon start up and thf cheese factory would be of no greater benefit if it stood in the center of the town. Mill Shipment Heavy. The sawmill Is owned by the Brown Petzel Lumber Company, G. L. Brown, president; John Thoma, secretary. This mill does a big local trade and also ships large amounts of mining timber, railroad ties and building lumber. They haul it to the railroad station at Kings ton by auto trucks at less than SO cents a thousand feet, so they are not in bad condition as to transportation. Mr. Thoma, the manager, is one of the ac tive citizens of the town. He is secre tary of the Commercial Club and also hat time to attend to other duties to ward helping the town along. By the way, the Stayton Commercial Club is a live body. George Keech is the president. It was by invitation of this club that I was sent to write about Stayton for The, Orcgonian. If this article does any good, and I hope it will, the real credit will be due to the Stayton Commercial Club. Water Power Plentiful. I failed to mention in connection with the mills that they all run by water power, which, I suppose, although I took it for granted, comes from the waters of the Santiam. And much of this water is used after flowing over the waterwheels for irrigating pur poses, passing from the wheel pit into a large flume. From the Santiam also comes the power that runs various mills in Salem. The water is taken out near Stayton, then carried in a large ditch a few miles and dropped Into Mill Creek, flowing on to Salem. This proj ect was one of the earliest power selec tions in Oregon, being made in 1858. It is said to be owned by Portland in terests. Stayton has two banks. The Stayton State Bank has a capital of $25,000, and surplus and profits of -82860. Its de posits are $196,057.85. Lee Tate is pres. ident and W. Richardson cashier. The Farmers & Merchants' Bank has a capi tal of $25,000 and surplus and profits of $812.90. Its deposits are $91,567.76. A. D. Gardner is president and S. L. Stewart -cashier. The latter institution is not as old as the former by several years. Town Hu Two Newspapers. There are two newspapers In the town. The Stayton Mail was established about 20 years ago. E. M. Olmsted is editor and proprietor. He has two .famous typesetting "machines." Edith and Dot. They are his daughters. So the Mail is a sort of family affair. The other paper is only a couple of years old. It is owned and edited by E. D. Alexander, a former proprietor of the Mail. Mr. Alexander calls his present pubtlcation the Stayton Standard, and his typo is his daughter Ecas.

Which is a hint to young men desiring to enter the newspaper busi ness on a sort of family basis. Now I ought to take a column to tell what the Stayton people think of theii schools. I will have to cut it short by saying that they have about as good buildings as any little city in the state. Indeed I guess their new high school building has mighty few equals in any of the larger cities. Professor W.
