F. S. Ivanhoe, district attorney at
La Grande, Or., has filed suit for di
vorce here against Mrs. A. E. Ivanhoe,
alleging cruelty. The plaintiff avers
that his wife frequently accused him
of infidelity and once charged that she
witnessed an attempt by him to com
mit murder. Several days after the
complaint was filed the plaintiff filed
a motion asking that it be dismissed,
but the Circuit Judge has not acted
upon it. The Ivanhoes were married
in Boise City May 16, 1887 and have
two grown children, Forest 24 years of
age, and Lytton, 22 years of age. The
plaintiff alleges that his wife contin
ually found fault with him and that
finally April 20, 1907, he was forced
to leave her. He says that he owns
block 19 in Coggan's Addition to La
Grande and that the defendant has
an equity of $2,000 including a house
she ha3 erected on it. He asks that
he be declared the owner of the prop
erty with the exception of the equity
of the defendant.
HELEN SMITH, HIT
BY ROBBER, RECOVERS
Miss Helen Smith, daughter of Pet
er Smith, who was knocked senseless
by a housebreaker Saturday evening,
was much improved Monday, and her
physician, Dr. M. C. Strickland, said
she was in no danger. The wound was
not serious, but the young woman suf
fered severely from shock and fright.
She was hysterical for several hours
after the attack. Miss Smith, who
was alone in her home, was playing a
piano when the man knocked at the
door to the parlor. As she opened
the door he knocked her down. He
tore rings from her fingers and stole
all the siverware in the house. Much
of the silverware was found wrapped
in a cloth near the Smith home. The
man was described as being about six
feet tall and wearing a black hat.
Sheriff Mass and the Oregon City po
lice are searching for him.

Clackamas Southern Railway Com
pany Issues Letter
"To the People of Clackamas County:
The Clackamas Southern Railway Co. will be ready
to begin laying the track from Oregon City to Beaver
Creek, as soon as the rails arrive that have been ordered.
We desire to lay them down immediately and ballast the
tract so that we can begin to bring in logs and cord-wood
and make the road pay from the very start. We have
more than $53,000.00 of stock subscribed that is unused,
but this we are unable to use except for grading and
bridges, under our contracts with the subscribers. .
It will require $10,000.00 to lay the steel and ballast
the road from Oregon City to Beaver Creek, and in ord
er to do that we must sell this additional small amount of
stock.
One business man in Oregon City has taken $1000.00
of the above amount, and two others have taken $500 1 00
each, and we believe this sum should be raised in a few
days time, as it is sold at $50.00 per share, with a par val
ue of $100.00. This road is now a success and wTe feel
that Oregon City will help place the first six miles in ac
tive operation. Your investment would be safe, arid at
the same time greatly aid Clackamas County and Ore
gon City.
You will not be called on to pay one dollar of the
amount until the track is laid two miles and rails are
here for the full six miles
We are confident you will do your best and help this
splendid enterprise, and at the same time make a safe in
vestment, by taking a portion of the amount to be raised.
The Company has about Twenty Thousand Dollars
($20,000) of stock subscribed in addition to the Fifty
Three ($53,000) Dollars above mentioned, for grades
and bridges which have not as yet been accepted by the
Company, but which will bo accepted when terms are
agreed upon.
If you desire the immediate completion of this road
to Beaver Creek which will insure the remainder of the
line in a few months time, wre ask you to come forward
and accomplish two things at one time. First, help Ore
gon City and Clackamas County; second, make a good,
safe, sane, investment that will net you good returns.
If you are interested and desire to help the Board of
Directors and the other stock-holders of this County,'we
ask you to sign the following stock subscription contract
and mail it to the Secretary, and when this first six miles
of road has been completed you will say to yourself, "I
am proud of assisting one of the greatest enterprises ever
inaugurated in Clackamas County and at the same time
made a safe, sane and honorable investment."
Oregon City, Oregon November
1912.
In consideration of the delivery 'to me of
shares of the capital
stock of the Clackamas Southern Railway Co. at $50.00 per share (fully paid
and nonassessable) by W. A. Huntley Trustee, I hereby agree to pay there
for the sum of $ to said W. A. Huntley, Trustee, and Treasurer of said
Company, when the track is laid from Oregon City, southerly a distance
of two miles in and along the present grade of said Clackamas Southern
Railway, and the rails are in Oregon City for the remainder of the distance
from Oregon City to Beaver Creek, a distance of six miles.
Dated this
-, 1912.
Subscriber
Connections are now being made with the line of the
Portland Kailway, Light & Power Co., so that cord
wood, lumber, piling and. other timber can be sent direct
to the Portland market and the money derived there
from will be scattered over that part of the County trib
utary to the road and be a great benefit not only to the
people along the line, but those engaged in other lines of
business.
Remember you don't have to pay one dollar of this
subscription until you see the rails laid down for a dis
tance of two miles and the remainder of the rails on the
ground for the full six miles of track.
Do not allow paid knockers of antagonistic interests
to warp your judgment or interfere with the completion
of this enterprise owned and controlled by our own home
people.'
Address all communications to Clackamas Southern
Railway Co., Oregon City, Oregon.
Respectfully submitted,
CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
