Husband Will Try It
After the wife tried and failed to pro
cure a divorce from him, Lawrence Lav
ish, of Willamette Falls, has begun suit
for a legal separation from Annie Lav
ish. The parties reside at Willamette
Falls, near this city, and the wife was
recently plaintiff in a similar suit.
Indicted at Washington
On a charge of destroying public rec
ords which accumulated during his ten
ure of the office of Commissioner of
Public Lands, Representative Binger Her
man was indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury at Washington last Friday. The
records in question were 36 letterpress
copybooks, which are alleged to have
contained copies of official letters and
which were destroyed just prior to Her
mann's retirement from the Land Of
fice. An Elegant Gift
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye this week for
warded as a wedding gift to Eastern
friends, a. copy of her "McLoughlin and
Old Oregon" in beautiful de luxe bind
ing. The recipients of the gift are Nor
man Porter Willard, a prominent at
torney in Chicago, and Miss Mary Hub
ble, of the Sandusky Ohio, High School,
whose wedding will soon take place. The
principals to the approaching event were
classmates with Mr. and Mrs. Dye in
College twenty years ago.
An Unusual Increase
The productiveness of Oregon's soil,
and its climate was demonstrated in an
unusual manner Thursday when two
cows of the small herd belonging to
Robert Clark, a farmer at Greenwood,
each gave birth to twin calves. With
this remarkable increase in his herd, Mr.
Clark is thinking of enlarging his dairy
field of operations. It has been suggested
that the two bovines and offspring- would
comprise a valuable asset as a part of the
exhibit for the Lewis & Clark Fair from
this county.
Swimming in March
Bathing in the Willamette river in the
month of March may seem an incredible
thing but it is a positive fact. Last Fri
day afternoon a half-dozen lads, clothed
only in nature's garb, were seen swim
ming about the river in the city limits
as though the time of year was July or
August. While it may be remarked
that the length of time that . the boys
remained in the somewhat frigid waters I
was limited, it is a fact, nevertheless, !
that the sport of swimming was indulg- I
ed in.
Warrants Being Cashed
The prompt cancellation by Treasurer
Cahill of outstanding county warrants
as rapidly as the receipt by Sheriff
Shaver of tax money makes the funds
available, is doing much to . reduce the
amount of the county's indebtedness,
and lessen the aggregate of interest that
is being paid. At the first of the week
and since the collection of taxes com
menced in February. Treasurer Cahill
had redeemed outstanding warrants ag
gregating about $15,000. as follows: Gen
eral fund, $11,541.39 and roads, $3,466.15.
May Lose His Sight
Graham Hungate, of Molalla, who is
employed in a logging camp on Coal
Creek, met with an accident last Sunday
afternoon that will result in the loss of
his light eye and possibly the serious
injury to the other. A cartridge for a
38-40 rifle, exploded while he was hold
ing the same in his hands with the re
sult that the powder lodged in his eyes
and fearfully burned his face. The suf-
ALL SICK WOMEN
SHOULD READ MRS. FOX'S LETTER
In All Parts of the United. States Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Has Effected Similar Cures.
Many wonderful cures of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have been brought about by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham,
of Lynn, Mass., which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years
made a study of the ills of her sex ;
she has consulted with and advised
thousands of suffering women, who
to-day owe not only their health but
even life to her helpful advice.
Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa. , writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham : ,
" I suffered for a long time with womb
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that I had a tumor on the womb. 1 did not
want to submit to an operation, so wrote you
for advice. I received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day I am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap
peared, and I am once more a well woman.
I believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world for
women."
The testimonials which we are con
stantlypublishingfrom grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She. asks
nothing in return for her advice. It Is
absolutely free, and to thousands of
women has proved to be more precious
than gold.

Fights Divorce at Long Distan
In the divorce suit of John M. Ben
droth vs. Alma B. Bendroth, the defend
ant has filed an answer in which is set
up a cross-complaint. The defendant
admits her marriage to Bendroth at
Boston, Mass., in 1899 and charges the
plaintiff with abandoning her in Decern
ber, 1901. Defendant further represents
that the plaintiff is employed as tailor
by the Salem Woolen Mills at an aver
age monthly salary of $100 and asks
that he be required to pay into the Court
the sum of $150 as costs for making
defense. L. L. Langley is attorney for
the defendant who is now a resident of
Everett, Massachusetts.
Y. P. S. C. E. Convention
The District Y. P. S. C. E. annual con
vention was held In this city last Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday. The opening
session was held at the First Presbyter'
ian Church Friday evening, Rev. E. S
Bollinger, of this city, delivering the ad
dress of welcome to which Rev. J. F".
Ghormley, of Portland made response.
Rev. W. S. Gilbert, also of Portland
preached the sermon of the evening.
Saturday was given over to routine busi
ness of the convention which concluded
its sessions with a consecration service
at the First Congregational church Sun
day evening. Among the speakers in
attendance at the convention other than
those already mentioned were: Rev. J
E. Snyder and Miss Holbrook.
He Who Eats Must Work
One of the necessary qualifications ex
pected of an occupant of the Clackamas
count Jail these days is the ability to
crush sufficient rock to properly place
across an entire street and at a width
of one-half yard. Jailor Nehren last
Friday with two of his boarders Smith
and Ridings Etai-ted the improvement
of Eighth street, south of the Court
house. The first day it was required
of each man to break sufficient rock and
cover the street its entire width with a
strip of a yard wide. But both men
rebelled and insisted that was too much
to be expected. So the amount of work
was reduced to one-half yard and it will
be the aim of Jailor Nehren to seen to it
that each man does his assignment each
day.
Died at Oakland'
The remains of John Webb, the Port
land contractor and' builder, who died
Thursday morning at Oakland, Califor
nia, of tuberculosis, reached Oregon City
Monday. Burial was held Tuesday, the
funeral service being conducted at 11
o'clock Tuesday morning at St. Paul's
Episcopal Church, Rev. P. K. Hammond,
officiating. The deceased was aged 36
years, and was the son-in-law of H. S.
C. Phelps, of New Era, the first super
intendent of the Oregon' City Woolen
Mills. Two months ago Mr. Webb went
to Texas in hopes that a change of cli
mate might improve his health, but he
became worse ana was en route nome
when he died in California. He is sur
vived by a wife and two children.
Was Stolen a Year Ago
About a year ago fifty head of horses
were stolen from a horseman named
Hoskins at Echo, Umatilla county. A
short time ago a fellow named Penny,
suspected of the theft, was arrested in
South Dakota, and is now being held in
the county jail at Pendleton awaiting a
trial on the charge. Immediately fol
lowing the theft the officers throughout
the state were notified and furnished a
description of the animals. As a result
of a quiet investigation that was con
ducted by the officers of this county, one
of the stolen animals was this week lo
cated at the, farm of Chas. Welch, at
Highland. Mr. Welch purchased the
horse from George Hurlburt, of this city
about a year ago, paying therefor the
sum of $75. Mr. Hurlburt, who ;is the
loser by the transaction, since the right
ful owner of the horse has appeared,
bought the horse of a stranger only a
short time before making the sale to
Mr. Welch.
Collision at Barlow
Shortly before 9 o'clock last Thurs
day morning, the north-bound Albany
local ran into an open switch at Barlow,
colliding with a south-bound freight train
that was standing on the side-track.
The passengers received a thorough
shaking up. three being severely bruised,
while Conductor Veatch, in charge of the
local was thrown about twelve feet and
more or less bruised but not sufficiently
to cause him to abandon his work. Both
engines were badly disfigured and some
slight damage resulted to one of the
passenger cars and two of the freight
cars. Blame for the accident, which
happAied in a dense fog, has been traced
to a member of a tie-train, who left the
switch open. The engineer on the pas
senger because of the fog did not ob
serve the condition of the switch until
he was within a few yards of the side
track when he applied the brakes, but it
was impossible to stop the passenger
which slid over the moist rails and col
lided with the stationary engine.
Life-Timers Pardoned
Last Friday Governor Chamberlain
pardoned three life-time prisoners at
the State Penitentiary. In addition to
one Chinaman, the Statesman, in re
porting the matter says: "The other
two were Evan Carver. from Union
county, and W. A. Henderson of Clack
amas county; while the two-year man
was Walter Huber from Clatsip county.
Evan Carter . was committed for life
from Union county in 1891. for the mur
der of Francis Lobard, in the month of
May in the same year, by shooting. Hen
derson was sent up for life from Clacka
mas county in 1S93, for manslaughtei ,
having been convicted of killing Cyriw
Suter at Canby, by stabbing him in the
stomach with a pocket knife as the' re
sult of a quarrel over a card game. Both
of these pardons were granted upon the
petition of numerous citizens of th? re
spective counties in which the men re
sided, the recommendation of the dis
trict attorneys who prosecuted the re
spective cases, and exceptionally good
Regulating Livery Hire
The County Court has made an order
to the effect that hereafter, no bill for
carriage or livery hire will be allowed
by the county court except the expense
be contracted In the order of the court.
Some , of the county officers considered
that the order was a reflection on- their
acts. The true purpose of the order at
this time is explained by Judge Ryan
who states that all of the officers of
the county, with the exception of the
assessor, are allowed a mileage fee of
ten cents, each way. in the discharge of
official business. Frequently the ser
vice of papers is required to be made
some four miles distant, the legal fees
of which amount to but 80 cents. It has
been the practice of some officers in in
stances where the fees do not amount to
enough to pay the livery hire to submit
a bill to the court for the team and bug
gy. But in instances where the officer
is required to make a trip of thirty or
forty miles distant, it has been the ex
perience of the court that the person
performing the services was content to
take the mileage and assume to himself
the cost of the "conveyance. Hereafter
no bills for livery hire, contracted by any
officer, will be allowed by the court ex
cept the expense was ordered by. the
court or the officer is able to show that
the expense was incurred- in an emerg
ency, and in the discharge or omciai
business.
Death of John Ritter
John Ritter, an old and respected res
ident of Clackamas county, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. W. S. Hurst,
at-Hubbard, February 22, 1905, after an
illness of about six weeks. Mr. Ritter
suffered from heart trouble and dropsy
and he was 83 years of age, , lacking two
months. He was a native of Austria,
being born in the mountains of Tyrol.
He came to the United States when a
child and grew to manhood in the State
of Pennsylvania where he located. In
1850 he married Miss Lydia Nye and
moved to Illinois. Four years later he
went to Missouri whence he started
across the Plains to Oregon in 1855, land
ing at what was then known as a part
of Walla Walla. He remained at that
point only a short time as the Indians
became hostile, driving all of the settlers
away. Mr. Ritter went to The Dalles,
where he lived two years, removing to
Clackamas county in 1857, when he pur
chased a farm of 318 acres about three
miles east of Needy where he lived until
1881. After spending six years in Brit
ish Columbia, Mr. Ritter returned to
Oregon and made his home at Aurora
where his wife died in 1892. About two
years ago Mr. Ritter went to the home
of his daughter at Hubbard where he Hv
ed until his death. The remains were in
terred at the Aurora cemetery beside
those of his wife. He is survived by six
children' as follows: J. D). Ritter, ojf
Needy; Mrs. L. E. Dobbins, of Portland;
Mrs. M. W. Brant, Juneau, Alaska; Mrs.
C. E. Strickland, Los Angeles, Calif.;
Mrs. W. S. Hurst, of Hubbard and Mrs.
A, L. Berry, of Ashland, Oregon.
Killed Immense Bear
Frank Busch, who returned last Fri
day from a trip to his property on Upper
Clear Creek, reports a bear story that
for the size of bruin and the exciting in
cidents surrounding his capture, eclipse
anything of the kind related here for
many a day. The residents of Elwood
have for several weeks been disturbed
by the mountain coyotes and timber
wolves and last Monday morning, Floyd
and Mat Gibble, lads aged 14 and 16
years, respectively, concluded to rid the
community of the pests if possible. Arm
ing themselves with two good guns and
accompanied by two 'ordinary dogs, the
two boys set out in the mountains sur
rounding their home.. They hunted the
greater part of the day without being
rewarded by so much as a sight of their
disturbers when in coming out of the
thick timber on Mr. Busch's ranch, they
suddenly came upon a scene that was
enough to frighten hunters of greater
experience. But a few yards distant
they observed four large black timber
wolves and one immense bear fighting
over the partially devoured carcas of a
cow. They immediately opened fire, the
two dogs conducting the advance and
attacking the animals, with the result
that the wolves scampered away, but
Bruin remained to fight for his feast.
He was rofuted after a few minutes
fusillade on the part of the two lads
and hurriedly ran down the canyon and
up the opposite hill-side but the boys
continued their fire which became the
more accurate as the bear separated
himself from his assailants. Before
Bruin had covered 100 yards he was
brought down by a well directed aim.
When the animal was skinned it was
found that he weighed 800 pounds and
measured 6 feet. Fourteen bullet wounds
were found in tne nide and nrteen gal
lons of bear fat were produced from the
remains. It was the largest bear that
has been killed in this county in years.

AUTOMOBILE PASSENGER SERVICE.
Oregon. City Men Would Run a Machine
to Wllholt Springs.
The feasibility of operating an auto
mobile carry-all for the accommodation
of tourists between Oregon City and Wil-
hoit Springs, is engaging the serious
attention of a number of Oregon City
men, says the Oregonian.
There is but a single serious obstruc
tion to the scheme and that is the ex
treme grade going in and out of the re
sort at the Springs. While an automo
bile, of the character being considered,
could be operated readily over the grade
under ordinary conditions, the least
moisture on the hillside would render the
use of the machine very difficult and
hazardous. It is planned to invest in a
10-passenger 20-horse power automobile,
which will make two round trips to the
resort, daily, from Oregon City.
While the scheme is considered im
practicable by some, it will surely be
carried to a consummation when the
promoters are satisfied that the roadway
will be so remodelled that the operation
of the machine' will be secure. Lack
of the proper facilities for reaching the
Springs from this city is proving a great
handicap to this wonderful natural re
sort. Clackamas County School Notes.
At the recent meeting of the District
Boundary Board for Clackamas county,
a resolution was adopted providing that
no further changes will be made in the
district boundaries until the November
term of the court, all petitions for such
changes to be filed with the secretary
of the board. Superintendent Zinser, in
the meantime. The board at its last
meeting denied the petition for a joint
district of Harmony - and Multnomah
county district and postponed until the
next meeting the petition for a consoli
dation of districts Nos. 74, 93, 36. 35- and
5. Changes were made in joint districts
30 and 3. but the consent of Tamhill
and Washington counties thereto will
have to be had before the alterations will
go into effect. Forty acres was cut off
of the Estacada district and restored to
the Garfield district from which it was
originally taken. ' ,
The Highland school recently gave a

ANOTHER GRANGER TALKS.
Editor Enterprise:
The Grange discussion being carried
on in your columns for the last week or
so, seems to be getting slightly mixed.
for some cause. While I cannot see any
thing crooked or triangular about it, it
looks to me like a straight away course.
I do think that . Mike has got "the cart
before the horse in some respects. In
the first place the discussion about that
wagon is not . the issue at all. What
was meant in regard to the money that
could be raised in disposing of the wagon
by lot. was brought out by the last
Pomona, suggesting that after as many
chances on the wagon had been' sold as
possible, that the tickets or numbers be
placed in a barrel churn and the Master
of -Pomona Grange turwn it for one hun
dred revolutions, when a number should
be drawn, which would take the wagon.
Now I am not in favor of any such pro
gram. But I do say if the Grange has
to do the churning, by all means let us
have the butter. In the second place he
speaks of the loyal Patrons who are
tired of putting up for Pomona. I think
that is also a misapprehension, for while
Grangers are noted for good appetites,
they are also noted as good providers,
and if each one that attended Pomona
would do as they do at their own Grange
meetings, take a little more than they
would eat, the problem of putting up for
them would be solved and the burden
be light for all. As your correspondent
says, an efficient remedy would be to
increase the annual dues to 50 cents. If
that was done for the purpose specified
there is not a subordinate Grange hall
in the County that would not be able to
hold all that would attend and so set
tle the question at once. That is just
the rub, we have not the room in which
to entertain our "friends as we would like.
There are but two or three halls in the
county that can do justice to the gath
erings that now come to our meetings.
While most, or all of the Subordinate
Granges have comfortable halls large
enough to accommodate their member
ship for an indefinite period, they can
hot afford to provide a hall large enough
to entertain 2 or 3 hundred more occa
sionally. I fail to see how it could make
a "sameness" in the meetings if they
were held in one place.v It was not lo
cality that made our last meeting es
pecially interesting or that will make
the next one equally so, unless all signs
fail. He asks if the State and National
Granges found it advisable to establish
permanent homes. I would answer -no,
and they probably will not as long as
they can get the best accommodations
that the State" and .Nation afford and
good pay for accepting them beside; as
witness the $2000 put up for the -National
Grange coming to Portland. I am
glad to know that "Mika" is so favorably
impressed with that part of the resolu
tion pertaining to the Fair and I am sure
that if every one will put their shoulder
to the wheel as he says he will, there
will be no trouble to make it roll our
way, as this is the main issue, in the
while scheme. With an honest wish
for the good of the Order and perfect
willingness that "the majority should rule,
I am yours,

IN A BAD WAY.
Many An Oregon City Reader Will Feel
Grateful For This Information.

.Tour kidneys are in a "baa way"
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Here is evidence to prove It.
James A .Tanner, farmer, corner 13th
and Lewis streets. Salem, says: "So
many suffer from kidney complaint that
for a time I was alarmed about myself
for I was troubled with my back aching
in the region of my kidneys. I think it
was caused first by a strain caused
from heavy lifting I did years ago. I
kept getting worse instead of better,
and finally consulted a doctor. He told
me I had gall stone in the bladder but
trouble with kidney secretions existed,
their too frequent action disturbed my
rest from fifteen to twenty times a night.
This was very annoying and I was in
a bad way when I read of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured a box. To say
that I was surprised at""their speedy ef
fect of their use is putting it mildly. I
have recommended Doan's Kidney. Pills
to others and will always have a good
