"Keanlved, Tlmt the time Inn come

the part uf the Lulvuraal church againat
the aaloon etirae of our land ; that we re

and call upon our churches to federate
throuuh this ag-ency with other denomi
nations for the overthrow of our common
enemy, the saloon; and that we recom
mend the appointment of two trustees
to represent our denomination therein."
The first natior presented was: "The
Church and Civic Problems," hy Mr. F.
McKercher, of Portland. He took strong
Krounds sKainnt every form of ellbrt Bug
festive of compromise, and severely ar
raigned the church for its apparent luke
wannness and apparent inconsistency
in dealing with the most important ques
tion of the day, the influence of the liq
uor trallic. Ktern, unrelenting, uncom
promising hostility to every method used
in dealing with the liquor question save
that uf absolute prohibition of the saloon
by law, was the central thought of his
paper.
"Recent Experiments In Temperance
legislation" was presented by J. 8.
Bishop, M. I)., of ForeBt Grove. This
gave a brief review of the progress and
results of the dispensary and local op
tion svstem In this and other countries,
showing that in no case, according to
his conclusions, had any particular
headway been made against the liquor
trallic.
"Out Debt to the Indians," was pre
sented by Mrs. Eva Kmery Dye, who
gave a tribute to the Indian woman
guide to Lewis and Clark in l805-'(Xi,
Sacajawea, the true woman who, in ad
dition to her heroic work as guide to the
noted explorers, became the first woman
of the Indian nations west of the Rocky
mountains to embrace Christianity. She
also spoke of the ellbrt being made to

Her Suit for Dlyorce, 2.10 Alt'irney
Fees, imil f 15 a Week Alimony
Is Vigorously Cmi fsled.
The motion ol Myrtle Krown that her
hnil.iuiil, (ieorge I'rown, whom she is
suing for a divorce, be reipiired to pay
$LTj0 into court lo enable her to coin pen
sate her lawyer, and also $15 per week
alimony, was strongly opposed before
Judge Cleland last week hy C. D. I.a
loureite and George C. ilrownell, Ote
goii City attorneys.
Itrown is a Clackamas county fanner,
and bis wile alleges that he is well cir,
with about $15,0110, and therefore stilt)
to liquidate the sums demanded. In her
complaint Mrs. lirown, w ho, prior tu her
marriage, was a schuol teacher, charges
the deleudant with cruel and inhuman
treatment, and goes into considerable
detail. She. alleges that between May,
l'.Mll, and September, M, he kicked
and heat her nhout twice a week, und
she waa linully lor her personal safety
compelled to leave him and take her
child Willi hers She lurlher charges
that Brown waa so close filled that he
would not properly provide for her
WUIltrt
Attorneys Brownell and I.atourette, in
behalf ol Brow n, tiled alliduvils contra
dicting these charges. The Clackamas
county lawyers contend thi:t Mrs.
Biow n's father, l. i. Grifllth, a phre
nologist by profession, was the cause of
all tlm trouble, having ililluemed his
daughter to leave her liUHiuind. The
reason ol thia Mr. I.atourette stated was
that Brown refused to lend money to
(irillith. The case whs brought tip for
speculative, purposes, as the application
lor large attorneys' ft es and alimony
showed. It was asseited that there
were no grounds for the suit, and that
Mrs. Brown ought to he sent home to
her husband. Mr. I.atourette also ar
gued that the litigants both live in
Clackamas count v, and (he case should
he tried there. He also contended that
his client is not worth more than
OtMX).
John F, Caples, attorney for Mrs.
Brown, replied that he did not think a
fee of JM) would be too much in a case
of this kind, to be paid to the eminent
opposing counsel, and consequently not
too large a fee for one of his own talents.
Mr. Caples read counter affidavits show
ing thai Mr. (irillith never borrowed
any money from Brown, except f30, and
aliidavits to the effect that Brown ill-
treated his wife, and that he cursed her
on the very day they were married.
AlKdavils were alao submitted stating
that the plaintiff is at present a resident
of Multnomah county, and reciting many
other facta. Judge Caples argued that
the case is a serious one, as would be
proved at the trial by reliable witnesses,
and said it was preposterous to talk about
Mrs Brown going home to her husband
Counsel also submitted evidence to the
court to the effect that Brown possesses
much greater wealth than $5UK). Judge
Cleland took the case under advisement
HKOWN N l' ST I'AV ALIMONY.
Ill the divorce suit of Myrlle Brown
against Geo. Brown, a Clackamas county
farmer, Judge Cleland on Tuesday de
cided that Bruwn must pay John F. Ca
ples, the wife'B attorney, $150 fees, 50
witness leeB and contribute f.ru per
month for the support of Mrs. Brown.
The matter of the defendant contribut
ing means to enable his wife to prose
cute the case and to provide fur her
maintenance was argued in court last
Friday. Brown was represented by C.
I). I.atourette arid George C. Brownell
si attorneys, and Judge Caples held the
furt fur the plaintiff, arguing that her
husband had treated her shamefully and
compelled her to leave; also that Brown
Is worth $15,000 and consequently well
able to support his family and defray the
costs of the litigation.
1I0SESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.
This Tlieoty Has Application to Some
Oregon City Merchants.
Unfair methods and misrepresentation
may protit the unscrupulous dealer for a
time but his tactics are bound to be dis
closed eventually and then the conse
quences are disastrous, lo be obliged
to compete with such a class of rival
merchants is discouraging to say the
least to a rpputab e dealer who strives
to give honest goods at right prices and
at the same time make a profit that is
reasonable. The fact that we have in
Oiegon City merchants that are success
fully meeting these unfair conditions in
competition is a credit to those mer
chants. In doing so they commend
themselves to the favorable considera
tion of the general public in all business
dealings
Contemptibly small ia the man, who,
having ascertained the figure at which
his competitor is selling an article, will
influence the inquiring customer to ne
gotiate the purchase of the same article
at a price below the cost mark which is
of course considerably below the figure
quoted by the merchant who transacts
business fair and above board. As a
consequence the sale Is probably made
and the customer forms a mistaken idea
as to the integrity of the first dealer. It
follows probably that he becomes a per
manent customer of the dealer who by
misrepresentation gained his good favor.
In subsequent dealings it is a natural
conclusion that the purchaser, who se
cured the rare bargain in the one in
stance, has it handed up to him in no
uncertain measure in future transactions
by the dealer, whose main purpose is the
fleecing of the public at the expense of
an honorable competitor.
Men who engage in these sort of tac
tics can rarely be induced to advertise
their wares. And it is not surprising,
for they have no open price marked on
their goods. The selling value of their
goods is regulated in nearly every in
stance by the price established by the
competing dealer, a sufficient reduction
being made to induce the sale. The re
putable merchant by advertising, in
measure, boosts the business of the un
fair opponent, who takes advantage of
the advertised schedule of prices and
modilles his markings to comply with
his tactics.
It is regrettable, but it is Said this
plain statement uf facts finds limited ap
plication in Oregon Guy. There is no
need for it. Put up your hammers and
In business on a right and fair basis.
I here is a field here lor all business in
terests now located in Oregon City, and
all can prosH--r if business is conducted
on a right principle.
In justice to tlm dealer, who has long
been established in a community and by
fair and straight dealings has built up a
reputation lor honest goods at reasona
ble prices, il ia but right that the in
tending purchaser should acquaint him
self w nli the (acts in the premises and
patronize, such business institutions as
are a credit to the community ; encour
age dealers who invest their money, and
in every way bend their efforts and tal
ents li the upbuilding and improvement
of the city and county. They live here,
invest their money, have an interest in
the progiess of the city and county, and
are entitled to the custom uf the com
munity that their business serves.
IMPOKTA.Vr LAM) CASE SETTLED
llllcliciick Keiers.es Klchanls and
Awards Springs to .Munslh III.
A message was received in Albany
yesterday staling that the Secretary of
the Interior had reversed the decision of
Land Commissioner Richards and sus
tained the Oregon City land office in its
decision that the Breitenhush Hot
Spiings should be the property of Claude
H. Alaiisiield, of Albany, says the Her
ald. The new s afforded general satisfac
tion to Albany people, who know how
faithfully Manstield has fulfilled the re
quirements ul tlm homestead law.
When it was announced some months
since that Cumuiisnioiier Richards had
reversed the Oregon City decision on an
appeal, Manstield appealed tu the Secre
tary of the Interior, the highest tribunal.
The brief of Mansfield's attorneys seems
to have had the desired effect. The Or
egonian of yesterday states the matter
as follows:
"An opinion rendered by the Acting
Secretary of i he Interior today give to
Claude K. Mansfield, uf Albany, Oregon,
full title tu the northeast quarter of sec
tion 20, township 4 south, range 1 east,
lying 35 miles southeast of Portland, and
on which is located a well knuwn and
valuable hot spring, on the head waters
of the Clackamas river. Manstield filed
the humesU-ad claim covering this land
March 15, 1901, the date the survey was
tiled, and alleged settlement thereon
since January 1883, and subsequent con
tinuous residence and cultivation.
When he submitted final proof in May,
11)01, Forest Superintendent Ormsby
filed an uncorroborated protest, alleging
that Mansfield had neither resided upon
nor improved the tract, but the local
land office at Oregon City recommended
dismissal of Ormsby's contest. The
General Land Office, on app al, reversed
the lower office, and rejected the final
proof offered by Mansfield.
On appeal to the Secretary of the Inte
rior the entryman produced a super
abundance of evidence to show that he
hail resided uiion, cultivated and other
wise improved this land yeats before it
was brought into the Cascade reserve,
numlier of doctors being among those
test ilving in his behalf. There was no
evidence to show that he sought to a im
propriate the land in bad faith, for spec
ulative purposes, or otherwise than for a
home. When he settled upon it the
tract was vacant public land, open to
settlement. The springs were not then
a place of resort, and were never visited
except by stray trappers.
The Secretary explains that it Is not a
violation of the spirit or letter of the law
for one to select under the homestead act
land that he hopes may become valuable
for other than agricultural purposes.
The law imposes no restrictions upon the
future use he may make of the land after
be obtains title in a proper manner.
Manslield's entry having been shown to
be regular, has passed to patent.

and Gordon Moores of Oregon City, who
are attending the state university at

BLACK-DRAUGHT
THE ORIGINAL
LIVER MEDICINE
ft
A sallow complexion, dizziness,
are common indications uf livi
I and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
give immediate "-irning by pain,
but liver and kidnry troubles,
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford's
Black-Draught never fails to bene
fit diseased liver and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the tornid liver
to throw off the germs of fever and
ague. It is a certain preventive
of cholera and Brigdit's disease of
the kidnevs. With kidnevs re
inforced by Thedford's Black
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families live in
perfect health and have no other
doctor than Thedford's Black
Draught. It is always on hand for
nse in an emergency and saves
many expensive calls of a doctor.

Prison.
J. II. Burke, the desperate escaped
prisoneJ from the Hillshoro jail, was
shut twice hy Sheriff E. 8. Beisecker
and captured last Saturday evening, at
his brother's cabin, six miles north uf
Vancouver. The sheiiff got the drop
on Burke while the fugitive's guns and
ammunition were laid aside. Despite
the fact that he was looking duwn the
yawning muzzle of the officer's six
shooter, Burke uttered a curse and bolt
ed for liberty. A ball was sent plowing
through his left arm and another through
the right thigh. F;ven in this unhappy
plight lie struggled pitifully against cap
ture. His final display of desperation was
characteristic of the man's demeanor
since tits capture for forgery and his sub
sequent escape from jail. Had he got
hold uf a gun or been warned of the
sheriff's approach, theie is little doubt
but that a pitched battle would have en
sued. Sheriff Beisecker learned several days
ago that the fugitive's real name is F. C.
Hamlin, instead of Burke, and that he
has a brother living in the woods, six
miles from Vancouver. Thinking it
probably that the roan would make for
h s brother's home (or shelter and lood,
the sheriff made his way to the place
Saturday afternoon, accompanied by a
deputy. The two men hid in the wood"
until dark and then advanced cautiously
lu where a faint candle-light showed,
through a window over which a ragged
cm tain was drawn.
Tiptoeing carefully to the window,
the sheriff could bear men talking. He
listened with his ear close against the
window and heard trie voice of the fugi
tive describing graphically to his brother
how he had given one sheriff the slip,
had luught a deputy and taken bis weap
ons away from him, and had defied all
the officers of the couutry he hid passed
through.
"They ain't going to take me as long
as I have got a cartridge or a bit of fight
left in me," came In braggadocio tones
from behind the drawn curtain.
Just at this moment the sheriff discov
ered that a pane of glass was out of the
window. With a quick ierk he tore the
curtain down and shoved his gun through
the opening and brought it in line with
the escaped man's anatomy.
"Throw up your hands or I'll kill yoo,"
he ordered.
Burke's response was a curse and a
leap for the nearest door.
The sheriff shot twice. Both balls took
effect, bringing Burke to his knees. But
the fellow was np again in an instant.
He staggered to the door and tried to
open it. The door would not yield at
first, and before be could get it open the
sheriff had reached the place. As Burke
tottered outside the officer pushed the
gun under his nose and told him that if
he made another move he would be
killed on the spot.
"I guess you've got me for keeps this
time," Burke said.
He was handcuffed and taken back in
the house, where his wounds were ex
amined. They were tound to be painful,
but in no way dangerous, and the officers
then determined to take the man to jail
as quickly as possible. They remem
bered that he bad etlected three remark
able escapes and wished to take no
chances with him. Tne drive of six
miles to Vancouver was made in less
than an hour.
The desperado was successfully landed
in the Washington county jail where he
will be incarcerated until the time of bis
trial before the circuit court. There is
little doubt but Burke will be sent to the
state penitentiary for a good term of
years.
GOOD PROUBESS MADE.
The 0. W. P. & R. Company Is Sow
Completing Its Sprlugwater Line.
It is thought that within a week the
new electric line will be completed as
far as the power-house on the Clacka
mas river, and regular cars will be run
ning as far as that point. This new di
vision of the Oregon Water Power &
Railway Company's lines extends about
38 miles e st of Portland, and runs
through Boring, Gresham, Barton, Ea
gle Creek and Currinsville. It is expect
ed the new line will greatly increase the
population of this section, and other
towns will probably spring np along the
line.
On the Clackamas, where the new
fiower plant of the company bas been
oca ted, a new town has already been
started. It is said this embryo city will
be called Cazadero, which is an Indian
word, and means "The bunting ground."
Two round trips from Portland wfll be
made daily from Cazadero during the
first few weeks of the new through ser
vice. Additional cars will be pat on as
the situation demands. Electric power
will be used to propel the cars as far as
Boring, after which steam will be used
until the new power plant is completed.
This line taps one of the richest sec
tions of farming country in the county,
and the freight business handled by the
line is expected to increase rapidly. Sev
eral excursions are being planned by
the managers of the road to the new
town on the Clackamas as soon as the
line shall be completed to that point.
