; That there is an unusual am
ount of summer travel this year

sengers who came in on .the Port-tead-traip,
and tour trips were ne
cessary to bring in the passengers
that arrived on the incoming train

done in the way of accommodations
when the exodus from the bay fair
ly sets in, is a matter of speculation
at local hostleries.
This is no dream, though the
parties cot cernel may have been
dreatai: g. They started from Hal
sty at 10 p. m. intending to drive
to Corvallis. They took tin left
hand road at each turning point,
and at two o'clock that mornina:
hey entered a little bure that they
thought was Tangent. It proved
to be Halsey, however, thft place
from which they had started four
hours before. It was about seven
o'clock the next morning when they
reached Corvallis, and swore all
their iriends to silence regarding
the adventure, a silence long since
broken. Moral:- Secrets shared
with friends are secrets no longer.

inse mormon ana wue, xormer
residents of Corvallis where they !
t ... r . i e ..
are remembered by ' man , have
again sought the divorce courts for
a settlement of their domestic dif
ficulties, according to tbe statement
of" the Oregon Journal's corres
pondent at Oregoa City, 'lie
writ-r tells the story thus: - j
"In the answer of Luke Thorn- I
ton that was filed in the circuit
court docket on Saturday in the
ca1 e of Thornton against 1 hornton,
litigants for a divorce, it is alleged
by the defendant that Mrs. Mar
garet Thornton has . resolved to
"rule or ruin" in" her endeavor to
have her way about things. The
answer to the plaintiff's complaint
covers 11 pages, and in it every
sort of known allegation is denied
that could by any possible means be
found in tbe divorce complaint.
"Both parties to- the suit are
well known Oregon" City Feople
and when there was peace between
them they -operated the New Eng
land Home boarding house. Mrs.
Thornton still operates it. They
were married in Ray county,' Mis
souri, in i872.Seyerat children were
born to them as an issue of this
marriage. Th y moved to Oregon
City and commenced the lodging
house business, and as things did
not go happily a divorce was se
cured. It is often said that first
loves are strongest, and this case
was no exception, and a little more
than a year after their seperation
Mr. and Mrs. Thornton were re-
wedded.
' 'But they fell out again, and
according to the woman's story, it
was because she was accuser py
her husband of being intimate with
other men and threatened with the
penitentiary unless she deeded her
property over to him. Mrs.
Thornton alleges thst her husband
failed in the support of herself and
family and that when they were
married the second time it was her
efforis that kept the . entire family
alive,
"Thornton asks for the custody
of the children and for the property
that hi claims to be his and which
Mrs. Edna F: Forbes is trustee of
He also asks the court for an or
der preventing the disposition of
the disposition 6f"ttee property" be
fore the trial The property is lo
cated in Oreg n City and in Sell
wood, to the amount of $2,400 and
improvements amounting tt $1,100
more."
