weaker vessel, bat what can be claimed
' tor ft n.n who deliberately deserts a
young tind attractive wife, sacrifices an
excellent position, and become an out
cast from decency to follow a woman of
the under world. 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.
HARD SWEARING

are true, to the beat of his knowledge
and belief.
Jay Hwjowick.
The right of way and track of the
Northern Pacific Knilway is valued and
the valuation sworn to by Mr. Bedgwick
at I,U00 per mile, or tw.ni for 22.1IK)
miles. 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). The United State Iiiireau of
the Census, in 11X14, placed the valuation
of the Astoria A Columbia Kiver Kail
road Company at 28,H20 per ruile and
(he Northern I'acific at $08,075.

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. To
clear oar skirts we would tay that we,
of Kaini'-r nt leatt, knew nothl g of the
contents of the ad until we aw it in
the-Htuiset Magazine. The gentleman
who wrote the ud was theone who spoke
ao fluently at the convention at which
8t. Helpns was very ably represented.
Thljfentleman was a member of the
Hunnet Mg.iiie stair; and if l he ad
constats of a number of facta given by
the editor of the Mist, then we cannot
see w ho is to blame for the omission
except the person giving the facta
flow almnt it Itrer Klngg? Incidentally
wo would say thnt tint secretary of the

one letter asking for free booklet as
advertised in Hnnset M igiizine.
