The worst fate thai could happen him. would be a legal divorce from his wile and a marriage with the the-dtvll who hae won hi worthless aJections. Mrs. Kulper is not of the Ci rise Ida type. She feels and re sents the outrage to hr womanhood and has refused to prosecute only bnaus-r she does not care to have br troubles brought Into a court room and she clear ly sees that her clay idol Is on the sore road to retaliation. She even feels sorrow for the wreck he ha made of his own life and sympathy for him in the degraded future that await him In a shirt time the Hathaway woman wilt tire of her victim and cast him off. and the two will go the separate mails to hell on earth before they get what Is coming to them in the unknown world. We will vent'ire, however, that in Ilia downward career Kulper Will have many regretful recollections of the happy home and the g'od woman he o cruelly abandoned.

The valuation of the furry Lost! "Tacoma" Is placed at :W,000, ! It is hard to understand whv Mr. Sedgwick makes buch a manifetly falsi! statement of the value of his company property, as it deceives noone (not even himself).

From the article in the last column of the fourth page of th Oregon Mist of Angust 7th, headed "Small If intention al" one would imagine from the lilieral space given Kainier and Clutskanie that either or both were to blame because. St. Helens and lioiillon aerenot mentioned as places where Inf .filiation regarding Culumbia County could hi had.
