Judge Clelana yesterday denied a mo
tion to dismiss the divorce suit of William
B. Branchflower ugalnst Mary E. Branch
flower, and allowed tlie defendant to file
a cross bllL The suit was filed July 3.
1154, the complaint alleging desertion. The
parties were married at Cloverdale. near
New Westtnlnrter. B. C February r.
1S33. Mrs. Hranchtlower filed an answer
setting up among other things, that her
husbund never gained a legal residence
in Oregon, and also that he filed an af
fidavit in which he falsely stated that
lier whereabouts was unknown to him In
order to obtain service of summons upon
her by publication.
There -was a partial hearing before
Judge Stearns, the plaintiff offering tome
evidence, and a continuance was granted
for further testimony. The matter was.
however, dropped for some reason and
was supposed to be at an end.
The dismissal yesterday was asked for
by Charles J. Schnabel, attorney for
Branchllower, who stated that no less
than three suits have been filed altogether,
the latest one being by the wife In Brit
ish Columbia. c
Judge "Ward, appearing as counsel for
Mrs. Branchflower. opposed the dismissal,
and was allowed to file a cross complaint.
It came out In the midst of various state
ments made, that Branchflower Is the
plaintiff In a suit pending In Douglas
County.
The cross bill was filed, and the casa
will come up later on for further proceed
ings In its regular order. Mrs. Branch
flower in her cross bill avers that Im
mediately after their marriage her hus
band took her to the home of his parents;
at Chilllwack, B. C, where she remained
about three months. Ills mother, she as
serts, was cross and quarrelsome, and
repeatedly ordered her to leave the prem
ises, and her husband refused to protect
her, but told her she would have to sub
mit to his mother's Insolence. She fur.
ther avers that on May 16. 1KB. her hus
band Informed her she had better go back
to her people, which she did. Ills man
ner, she says, was cold and heartless: h
Jeered at her and made sport of her la
his mother's presence. When she went
home. Mrs. Branchflower alleges that phe
supposed It was a temporary arrangement,
and that her husband would rejoin her.
Learning of the divorce suit which he
filed here In July. 1S34, she states that
she at once came to Portland and offered
to live with him, and he declined.
She asserts that he Is In partnership
with his father In a large farm, and Is
worth ahout $2300. and the land owned
by his father is valued at about $30,000.
which he expects to Inherit. Mrs, Branch
flower asks for $20,000 alimony, and says
her husband has no grounds on which to
obtain a divorce from her. There is one
child, born December 23, 1SS3, the cus
tody of -yhlch she alleges was awarded to
her by the Supreme Court at British Co
lumbia until December. 1900, and she avers
that the father Is an unfit person to have
the care and custody of the child.
The answer filed by Mrs. Branchflower
five years ago sets up substantially thess
same facts.
Divorce CnKen.

Lawson for a divorce on the ground of
drunkeracas. cruel treatment and deser.
tlon. They were married in Canada in
1874, and she i!!eges that she was com
pelled by h:m to leave their home In Sep
tember. JEST for fear of extreme bodily
Injury.

Is a competent, skilled pilot, and that J.
A. Fisher was in command of the steam
er. While making a landing on the Cow

the wind blowing, making It difficult to
make the landing. Smith, through his
own carelessness and want of attention.

coll In the headline or cable, and by rea
son of tho movement of the boat down the
stream the loop, was drawn fast about
his leg, and in spite of the efforts of the
pilot to run the steamer forward, the
leg was drawn against the bltts on the
forward deck and broken. It Is further

over the right of way of the High Llna

Its construction the ensuing Summer. The

down along the hillsides bordering on
Rogue River Valley. The contracts are to
be let In 10-mlle sections, and their carry
ing out will Involve a large expenditure
of money. Several hundred men and
teams will be employed for a number of
months.
Mr. Ward says there will be some 2000
feet. of flumlng (o be constructed on tho
line, where the water Is to be led across
email s.rcams, or along steep hillsides,
upon which the ditch cannot be dug. Thera
are also 2000 feet of 31-lnch Iron plre tr
be laid where the line crosses Trait Creek
some 25 miles above Gold Hill. The lay
ing of this pipe will save the digging of
over 20 miles of ditch, as the water will
be carried down one hillside and tip the
other, where otherwise the line would
have to be dug along -the face of steep
hills.
Gold Product Quadrupled.
Mr. Ward says prominent Jackson C6un
ty miners figure that the county's gold
dust output this season will quadruple
that of any previous year In Its history.
The early and abundant rains and balmy
weather of the past Winter have enabled
them to run their hydraulic works night
and day for a much longer period than
usual, and many an acre of JackcCn Coun
ty hillside soil has been sent down to feed
the fishes and form Islands In io7cr
Rogue, River. Many old-time placer men
are now rejoicing In the possession of
buckskin bags well filled with nuggets
from the clean-up In progress, as water
has at last begun to fail and the bedrock
laid bare by tho monitors ls being scraped
into the sluices by way of final harvest.
Jack Burns, a pioneer miner of Gall's
Creek, has his men employed on the
cleanings, while the Cook Bros., Lang
Bros, and Carr Bros., of Foot's Creek,

Some Frnlt Injured.
Mr. Ward saw a good many orchards
and conversed with a number of frult
ralsers .while he was in Jackson County,
and he thinks the peach. and prune crop
there has been injured somewhat by the
three nights' frost of last week, but he
feels assured that quite a large amount
of these varieties of fruit rwlll yet be
raised there. Much ot the young fruit
was too far advanced to be killed by frost,
and each day's developments created a
more hopeful feeling, after the first scare
had subsided. "There ls no mistake about
the night of the 9th being cold, though."
he says, "as the thermometer Indicated 21
degrees eight degrees below the freezing
point a thing It did not do during the
previous Winter."
He saw one peachgrower who had saved
his crop from the frosts by "smudging."
as ho called It. This smudging consists
In building fires un the windward s'de
of tho orchard and permitting the smoke
tp envelop tho trees. The fires are made
of old branches, logs and flump;, which

The failure of tho steamboat to stem the
rapids of Upper Snake River, to reach
the mining country above, adds another
point to the urgent necessity of railroad
construction. Tho opening of the mining
district at and about Imnaha has so Im
pressed the O. R. & N. that It made a
special effort to add this territory to Its

led to tho scaffold by its people. Through
the misguided methods of the Democratic

of Christ, from the discovery of the star
of Bethlehem by tho wise men to the
ascension after the crucifixion, and is his
torically correct In costumes, scenery, sur
roundings and detail.
The Passloh Play was first produced
nearly 300 years ago In the village of
Obcr Ammcrgau, and Its origin In Itself
is unique.
A terrible plague had been raging In
that section for a time, and people were
dying by tho hundreds. AH efforts to stop
It were unsuccessful until the people of
the church assembled, and, as an offer
ing to the Deity, agreed to produce a
play portraying the life of Christ once
every 10 years; and, strange to say, the
day followlrg th- first production the
plaguo ceased and has never repeated It
elf- True to their vow. each succeeding
generation has taken up the task and
given the play.
Numerous efforts have been made by
speculators to secure a special produc
tion of the play. An offer of $50,000 by a
.New York syndicate being refused, on at
tempt was- made to produce the play on a
magnificent scale In the city of New York
some years ago., Over $100,01J was expended
in costumes, scenery and settings, but on
the 'eve of the. first trial, the promoters
were stopped In their efforts by an injunc
tion secured by the allied churches of the
city, and the entire outfit was stored
away until a few months ago, when It was
sold to Thomas A. Edison, who had con
ceived the idea of photographing the pro
duction for his anlmat:d-plcture machine.
Nearly $100,000 additional was spent In
purchasing fabrics and material for the
costumes and scenery, and the securing
of a competent cast to produce the play.
His efforts were highly successful, and as
a result, the management is able to offer
for. the first time to the general public a
magnificent reproduction of the life of
the Savior in animated pictures, compris

MADE VERY CLOSE FINISH
FAST TIME 15 A LOXG OCEAK RACE
FROM PORTLAND.
Kirkcudbrightshire Wins, and. Tnree
Ships Sail, a. Tie for Second v
Place Marine Xotea.
The outward passages of the Portland
December grain fleet from this city are
the most remarkable on record for close
calling. Five more of the December fleet
arrived at QueeMrtown Saturday and Sun
day, and three of them sailed a tie race,
leaving the Columbia together and arriv
ing out on the same day, after very good
passages. The paseages of the entire Ave
stowed a variation of but 24 hours, and
nil wer fullv 10 cava better than the aver-
t-. fnr thf p.nnnn. indicating that there
was some pretty close rivalry among the
captains, who had sucn an even i-uin
nn a 17000-mile race. The British ship
Alclnous, Captain McCormalg. and the
British ship KlrkcudDrigntsnire, jpw"
Purrfi- arrived out Saturday, after pas
sages of 122 and 120 days. On Sunday, the
Sierra Miranda, captain ataMasiera.
Crown of Germany. Captain Mcllgorm,
and Beneda, Captain Jones, arrived out In
a bunch. Just as they left the coiumma
with the Kirkcudbrightshire, 121 days ear
lier. This makes a total of nine ships
that have left the Columbia in Decem
ber and reported out after fast passages,
the slowest of the lot being the Kale
Thomas. In 123 days, while the Arctic
Stream and the Fulwood sailed a tie in 120
days.
It Is not an uncommon occurrence for
several ships in the course of the season
to call over the long course from Portland
to Queenstown In the same number of
days, but It Is a very rare occurrence for
two of them leaving a Pacific Coast port
In company to show up in the same posi
tion on the other side. It Is still more
rare for three of them to leave together
and arrive out together, and water-front
men In this city state that the three
cornered tie race of the Sierra Miranda,
Crown of Germany and Beneda ls the
only one that hnfl ever been recorded
for tho Northwestern grain fleet.
MAKING FAST TIME.
German Ship Xajade Reaches Port
Without Delay.
The German ship. Najade ls In a. fair
way to establish a record for quick dis
patch. She arrived in at Astoria late
Saturday afternoon, and lees than 48 hours
later woo discharging ballast In this city,
preparatory to loading wheat. The ship
suffered no unnecessary delay at Astoria
on account of quarantine and customs reg
ulations, and left up about 11 o'clock Sun
day morning. She came up In company
with the John Cooke, the Ocklahama
bringing both vessels, and Captain Bailey
hustled the pair of big grain carriers along
at a pace which landed them In Portland
shortly after daylight yesterday morning.
There is considerable current In th
river, and the time made with the double
tow ls ordinarily considered fast enough
for a single ship. Both of the ships have
their cargoes on the dock, and will be given
quick dispatch. Unless they are held after
they are loaded, both vessels will un
doubtedly figure In the April grain fleet.
ELDER. A FLYER.
Makes Round Trip and Handles Tiro
Carnroes In Less Than a "Week.
The steamer Elder arrived up from San
Franclfco at 11 o'clock Sunday morning,
completing one of the fastest round trips
that has yet been made between the two
cities. The steameV left Portland one
week ago Sunday night, and accordingly
was but six days 15 hours In making the
round trip. She was loaded to her fullest
capacity on her outward trip, and, after
discharging at the Bay city, loaded a part
cargo for the return trip. Much of the
credit for the fast time made by the
Elder Is due to Captain Randall, her mas
ter. On the' last trip up from San Fran
cisco, he crossed out of the Golden Gate
at midnight and entered the Columbia
at 2 o'clock In the morning. The Elder
left down again last evening, with a
full "cargo.
Inspecting Xctt Steamers.
Inspectors Edwards and -Fuller have
considerable work on hand this week, as.
In addition to looking after the old fleet,
they will Inspect three new steamers. The
first of these vessels Is the new steamer
Cornelia Cook, which was built for the
late H. B. Borthwlck. but which ls now
to be sent to the Sound to act as a can
nery tender. The Cornelia Cook will be
Inspected today, and tomorrow they will
inspect Captain Hosford's new steamer
B.onlta. Later in the week the new flyer
of the D. P. & A. N. Co., the Reliance,
will come up for inspection. The steam
ers Albany and William M. Hoag were in
spected yesterday.
Where Hill's Steamers Will Be Built.
NEW LONDON, Conn.. April 16. The
Eastern Shipbuilding Company today took
possession of the land at Croton on which
will be established Its plant, and at onco
set a gang of men at work clearing the
land. Within three months he keels of
two steamers, the largest In the world,
will be laid. The steamers are for the
trans-Pacific fleet of the Great Northern
Railway, and are to be of 34,000 tons dis
placement. Their dimensions will be:
Length. 630 feet; width. 73 feet: depth, 54
feet. They will attain from 12 to 14 knots
under forced draught.
Steamboats Sned. ,
The case of George H. Kllner vs. the
steamboats Walker and Lurllne came up
for trial In the United States District
Court yesterday before Judge Bellinger.

mentioned, and J. Kamm, the owner. Is
