lo Compromise Her.
Louise Khury secured a divorce yester
day from Najib Khury. with provision
that he be allowed to visit their child. The
case was tried .before Judge O'Pay, in the
Circuit court. Mrs. Khury charged, anions
other things, that her husband hid himself
between the mattresses in her room, ex
pectins to find his wife conducting herself
Improperly toward the laundryman. She
said lie jumped out and scared her so
badly that it was necessary to call a

Trouble between the Khurys began
months aco. when Mrs. Khury had her
husband arrested for beating her and the
child. Following thoVial in the police
co.urt. Mrs. Khury filed suit in the County
Court, charging non-support. Khury was
required to pay her ) a month but the
wife brought several subsequent suits, al
leging the money had not .been paid. To
these Khurv usually replied that he had
kooiI grounds for his failure. Once he
had been out of work, and had been
sick and he complained that Mrs. Khury
would not permit him to visit their child.
Divorce proceedings were originally filed
by Khury. He alleged that his wife
made hint sleep in the kitchen, and in the
night removed the covers, compelling him
to spend the remainder of the night shiv
ering;. To this suit Mrs. Khury brought
a cross complaint.
When the case was tried yesterday only
Mrs. Khury appeared. She said that
thev were married at Vancouver, in Sep
tember. Two days afterward,
Khury demanded that she deed her prop
erty to him. She also declared yesterday
that he tried to kill the child with a chair
last Christmas, and -attempted to poison
her. When Judge ODay said Khury
would be allowed to see .the child on Sun
Sav. Mrs. Khury jumped to her feet, and
Sddressed the court. "I don't think tins
N fair when he doesn't support it." She
paid she was afraid of her husband, and
nn order was issued restraining him from
harming her, or visiting the house except
on Sunday.

FOKGEK IS GIVEN' TWO YEAllS
Oscar Roe's lawyer Pleads in Vain
for Leniency.
Oscar Roe must serve two years in
the State Penitentiary for forgery.
This was the judgement rendered by
Presiding Judge C-leland in the Cir
cuit Court yesterday afternoon. Roe
had pleaded guilty to having secured
JS from William Ludwig. an East
Side butcher, upon a worthless check.
In making a statement of the 'facts
to the court. Deputy District Attor
ney Haney said Roe passed four other
worthless checks for amounts aggre
gating abo.ut fJ2. lie also referred to
a charge of stealing a watch, brought
against Roe in the Municipal Court.
Attorney McCann asked mercy for
his client on the ground that Roe is a
cripple and not a bad man at heart.
The attorney held a letter in his hand,
from Roc's aunt in the East. This he
told the court showed that Roe had
received excellent training from re
ligious parents and was formerly an
exemplary young man. He said Roe
recently come here from the East and
fell in with bad companions. These
persons. Mr. McCann intimated, had
a hand in forging the checks. He said
the court should also take into con
sideration that Hoe had not "peached"
on his companions.
Hans Nelson was arraigned on a
charge of contributing to the delin
quency of a 10-year-old girl. He
pleaded not guilty. Upon recommenda
tion of District Attorney Haney the
statutory charge against Nelson was
dismissed, and the delinquency case
was set for trial April 7.

Arc Blamed for Injustice to Man
Dependent on Salary.
FIR HAND. Or., Feb. 20. (To the Editor.)
I noticed in lat Sunday's Oreg-onlan ref
erence made to the coming of Swift's plant
and the building of a mammoth packing
plant at "St. John, also concerning the pros
perity which would acorue to Portland on
that account. It eeeme to me that the
proposition la -worthy of analysis.
When the Swift Company builds its plant,
many men at present out of work can And
it directly on tho g-round. Trade along all
lines of building material will improve. The
impetus given the labor and material
market will be felt In the food market. -clothlm?
market and along- all lines of busi
ngs. When men are in a position to buy.
others may produce their specialty 'and all
may work and live. So far all have bene
fited. Each has Riven value for value, serv
ice for service, or a fair exchange has taken
plan - -
The workman has given his labor for his
whp. The dealers in material exchange
lumber, cemen steel, etc., for money, the
dealers In food exchange flour, crackers,
bread, hutter, groceries, etc., for money.
Money is merely an automatic bookkeeper.
In each case, service is given for service.
One other effect of this manufacturing
plant has not been mentioned thus. far.
Heal estate or land will rise in price. This
i a question that also is worthy of analy
sis, in the first place what makes the price
of land ? Supply and demand ? Since this
supply if fixed In quantity as well as loca
tion, the, price must vary with the demand,
the more people the higher the price. But
If the people are not working, the price Is
liable to go down, l mean the more people
work the h ighcr the price of land. This
seems to agree with the fact that real estate
will rise when the Swift concern comes to
town and puts the unemployed to work.
In the above example the Swift Company
starts the wheels of industry In motion,
wealth is produced and distributed, giving
to men the ability to rent or buy themselves
a suitable home. The price of, land increases
as the community increases, ami with the
industry of the community. What return
does the holder of vacant land make to the
community for the Increase of price?
I. for one. can so no evidence of a fair
exchange, of service for service, or of pro
ductive industry. It seems to me something
like this: A man goes to work for the Swift
Company. At the end of a year the man has
given his labor and received his wage. The
deal is square. The Swift concern has
caused a rie In the price of land. The man
by his industry is a part of the organiza
tion, therefore a part of the cause. There
fore the man by his industry causes to a
certain extent, the rise in the price of land.
He goes to purchase a lot on which to
build
Before the nYan went to work the price
of the lot was $200. Now, the holder wants
$'iOO. In fact, the man has produced the $100
advance In price, he has earned $lO0 which
he did not get, and now In order to be al
lowed the privilege of building a home, must
pay the $100 for having gone, $100 "shy" in
his pay.
To make a long story short, that $200 lot
actually cast the man $400. I can plainly
see how the community has showered a
number of benefits upon the holders of va
cant land, hut am at loss to see how he
makes a return. AH other business seems to
be based on the principle of fair exchange.
All other business pays more taxes than
the holders of vacant land.

G00DN0W TO DIRECT WORK
Probably Will Build Pacific Coast
End of St. Paul Hoad.
It is probable that work of building the
Pacific Coast end of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railroad will be car
ried on under the Immediate direction of
C. A. Goodnow, until recently general
manager of the Chicago & Alton. East
ern reports are to the effect that Mr.
Goodnow Is under consideration for ap
pointment by President A. J. Earllng as
western manager, to serve under H. R.
Williams, president of the western or
ganization of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul.
The advices from Chicago are that,
while It Is probable Mr. Goodnow will
accept service on the Coast extension
work, "his appointment has not yet been
made, and will not be made at present.
Mr. Goodnow recently visited the Coast
In company -with President Earllng, and
the fact that their trip West was for the
purpose Of Inspecting the Coast exten
sion of the Milwaukee led at once to the
surmise that Mr. Goodnow was to become
connected with this work. The present
reports, which emanate from Chicago,
tend to confirm the Impression that was
gained when the railroad men visited
Portland and Seattle. In his capacity as
western manager. If he accepts that po
sition, Mr. Goodnow will have oversight
of the line to be constructed to Portland
as well as the road now under way to
Puget Sound.

(Special.) Wrecked with the stranding of
the American ship Emily Reed when that
vessel went to pieces on the rocks at the
mouth of the Nehalem River February
15. the experience of three survivors who
reached Cape Flattery. 200 miles distant,
in an open boat, three days later, carries
incidents not met with in marine ad
venture outside the wildest fancies of
maritime fiction. Mate Fred Zube and!
Seamen Arthur Jahnke and Ewald Ablld
stedt, recovering from the effects of their
exposure and hardship as castaways, in
the United States Marine Hospital here,
relate stories that put at naught other
adventures of shipwreck in the history of
Pacific Coast shipping.
Ole Sorlet. ship's cook, died from ex
posure and thirst 50 hours after having
been cast away, and 20 hours before his
mates found safety in being blown Into
an anchored fishing schooner at Neah
bay. Wash.
The sailors left the sinking ship in a
30-font metal lifeboat. Belnr thrown into
the sea amid wreckage from the breaking
ship, their escape from foundering in the
wreckage was providential. Their outfit
consisted of a single oar. and a lug sail
of less than 40 square feet. A cask of
water lashed to the lifeboat was cast
overboard, after having been loosed of
moorings by the fail of the boat, and
threatened to crush the limbs Of the crew.
The voyage at sea for 70 hours was one
of constant hardship and unfavorable cir
cumstance. Not a particle of food was
had, nor was there found a drop of water
to quench the thirst, of the struggling
men.
The boat in which the men hadi left the
ship was an old one. Timbers that had
fallen into it from the wrecked ship had
opened many seams and caused punctures
that required the use of practically all
the scant clothing worn to stay the in
rushing water. The weather was cold

and foggy. During darkness a passenger
steamer passed the castaways, who had
not lights to signal with. Calls for aid
were unheard and! unheeded.
When forsaken by the steamer. Cook
Sorlet gave up his fight for life. He
begged and prayed for water; demoniacal
ly fought his companions, who sought to
prevent his drinking from the sea.
Stealthily he caught the frayed end of
the small sail and sucked the canvas In
hops of getting relief from moisture
gathered from overhanging fog. The act
was suicidal, for the sail carried salt
water from spray thrown over it. "The
cook's death occurred in an hour, with
the greatest of agony.
Twenty hours later, when help was
reached1, the remaining survivors were all
but overcome. Another hour and they
would have been unable to ask for as
sistance, were such at hand. The legs
and feet of all were distended and swollen
beyond human proportions. Swollen
tongues hung from parched throats.
Hands were cut and lacerated in using
for bailing a Jaggedly-cut section of one
of the boat's air-tanks. So weak had
the seamen of the party become when
safety was reached that they were kept
alive only by constant prodding and
threats from Mate Zube. With a broken
arm and head terribly cut. the mate
handled the sail with his teeth, steered
with his unbroken arm and directed every
act of the rescue. .His eyes had not closed
in sleep throughout the . long battle
against death.
flight lives were lost in the wreck.
Captain Kessel, his wife, and four mem
bers of the crew escaped by remaining
on the after part of the ship.- This sec
tion hung together until morning, when
they were able to walk ashore at low tide.
