"I'll let him stay there in jail for

With that answer, Mrs. Charles No

jail when she learned that Justice
John Seivers would not release him
unless a bond was filed for the wo
man, Jane Curry, at the same time.
Though she' had kept the constables
of two counties and the police of sev

until they found her husband, she

against him when he was arrested

the officials here. i
After her refusal to- get her husband
out if she had, at the same time, to

her all of the trouble, the justice re

When he arrived there, he made
iron clad promises to his wife that
no woman would ever entice him away
from' her again and she welcomed him

she would refuse to prosecute him un

For 20 minutes in the justice court
the two women eyed each other with
all of the hatred of their sex as they
listened to the proceedings in the
court. Neither has said a word to
the other since the trial began and
neither would recognize the other in
the room.
"Doesn't she look the limit?" ask
ed Mrs. Nolen after she had eyed her
enemy for several seconds. "My, what
a hard lot she must be."
Wife Wins
The battle for the possession of the

when the wife tool;, him back and

brought against him. Though the po

foundly impressed by the importance

deepen the channel over the Columbia
river bar, James J. Hill has written
to the chairman of the ports of Col

saying within a few weeks he will
make a special trip to the mouth of

Thus he will be enabled to deter

with the campaign and add strength
to the organization which is alreday
the largest west of the Mississippi

TO L
CLUB FOR BOYS
An enterprise that bids to become
very popular among the boys of this
city is launched by Rev. George Nel
son Edwards, pastor of the Congrega
tional church, in the shape of a boys'
club.
Although the details of the plan
have not been worked out as yet and
a name has not been adopted the
principal features are settled. A large
and modern gymnasium will be fitted
up in the basement of the church and
an instructor will come once each
week from Portland to work with the
boys.
Such a movement will do much
good, it is said, not only in developing
the boys but also in bringing them
into closer touch with another, even
though Oregon City now has a Boy
Scout company.
It is possible that this new society
debating or litrary work but these
may branch out in other lines such as
points are far from settled.

of modern fire fighting apparatus, including the latest in auto fire engines, trucks and hose wagons. Fire Chief John
Kenlon of New York had arranged to show the latest auto machines of his department to the visitors. According to
the program, two features were considered especially interesting. One was the parade of 1.500 regular firemen and
2,000 volunteers, and the other was the unveiling of the Firemen's monument, erected at a cost of $100,000. . Pic

Because he had unmercifully beaten
her and had stabbed her with a knife,
Helen Peters asked a divorce decree
from Alphonse Peters Saturday in the
circuit court.
She asked in the decree $300o per
manent alimony and $75 temporary
alimony to cover the costs of the suit.
They were married at Binghampton,
N. Y., Nov. 27, 1901, and have four
children as the result of the marriage,
Jeanette, 10 years, Eleanor nine years,
John, aged seven years and Rose, ag
ed five years.
The complaint recites several in

ment with which the wife charges the
husband and asks for a decree on the
grounds that the life had become so
unbearable that she could -no longer
live with him.
Margareti Haralampous filed a com
plaint against Anastasious, her hus
band, on the grounds of cruelty. They
were married at Portland, February
5, 1913, and she asks her maiden name
of Margareti E .Farrell.

Several Portland engineers have
been pestering Mayor Linn E. Jones,
since the city council of Portland de
cided that Oregon City could have
the Bull Run water supply.
The engineers have been applicants
for the position of consulting engineer
on the work that will have to be done
during the construction of the pipe
line and they have all filed w'ith the
mayor their recommendations for 'the
place.
It is generally understood that the
construction of such a line with the
engineering feats that it would involve
will require the presence of a consult
ing engineer. The Portland men have
wasted no time in the matter and have
their applications with the mayor for
the place if the city decides to go
ahead with the work. . '

OTHER CITIES WANT BULL
RUN WATER SUPPLY
Should Oregon City decide to tap
the Mount Tabor reservior and get
water from the Bull Run supply, the
other cities a'.ong the line would put
in their applications to fill their city ,
mains from the same source.
Milwaukie has already jumped into
the lead in the demand for water '
from the Portland reservoir and plans j
to help Oregon City pay for the ex- j
pense of bringing the supply down
from its mountain source to the people.
With the other towns on the main
line from Mount Taljor it is esMma.'ed
that the cost of supplying the city
with the water from the new source
would be materially reduced.
