ENESDOUGHNUTS
TO FAITHFUL WIFE
George F. Ritter St!tish and
Cruel. Alleges; Mrs. R.tUi1
in Divorce Complaint,
SHE DEMANDS ALIMONY
Wants $50 a Mouth, $U for lm
medial ertH anil inr
Dry's rV Kitttr Kutfr
nlal and Ak Divorvr.
nerocr Frederick Kitttr, for hose ben-
ftt th divorce mill ha a number of
times been net In motion, N apatn tn
court. This time the divorce complaint
Iibs bewn filed by him wKe. Ritter is
till of the name mind he when
h appeared last year before Judge Fraer
In th Circuit t'ourt; be want a divorce.
He in not evn willing that his wife, Ma
tilda Hitter, fthotild have it. for she wants
t a month alimony, $100 for her immed
iate needs, and tSO for attorney's fees.
Pho navs her husband, who is 65 years
ld. is worth J10,0"0 and well able to pay
thrse amounts.
The, chief complaint she has to make
It that her husband la Mingy. To this
line adds a charge of cruelty. She says
It was Rtttpr's habit to buy a bottle of
cheap claret wine and some douchmits
every day. These he would eat in the
-presence of his wife, sometimes on the
front porrh. She asserts that he told
her If she wanted any she could take her
own money and buy them as he had no
money to spend on her.
But the doughnut episode was not all.
T-Ie even forbade his wife to buy potatoes
last year because they were so high that
It would be extravagant. She savs she
was sick abed a year ago and that the
doctor prescribed medicine which cost
Hitter 40 cents. He demanded of his sick
wife, she ays, that this money be paid
to him, so she was obliged to borrow It
from a neighbor who was at the house.
The illness was caused by the visit of a
ipollreman whom she says Ritter brought
to arrept her.
Mrs. Ritter seys that as soon as they
tiad settled down to live together, her
husband told her she was strong enough
to earn the living for both of them, and
trtat she must keep roomers. Ritter as
sorts, on the contrary, that his wife kept
roomers awainst his wishes. Mrs. Ritter
wants her former name, Matilda D.
Lrke. restored to her.
Ritter. tn his answer to the charges of
hln wife, says that he is far from being
rich, ss he only has some carpenter tools
and his clothing. He says that three
weeks after the wedding his wife told
him she didn't like him, as he was a
"dirty old fellow" and that she would
get a divorce if he would pay the costs
and Sj-OO besides. He says that on May
T2, last year, Mrs. Ritter locked him In
the house, so he w.is compelled to sleep
on the- floor In front of their bedroom.
A week later he was locked out of the
house. The -couple were married Decern
ber 2, num. He wants a divorce on his
own account.
Ijist year when Ritter was before Judge
Fraxer. seeking a divorce, he created
sensation by standing with his elbows
on the bench while his wife was testify
ing and In a childish way denying all the
statements of his wife that he did not
approve. He and his wife have both
hefti divorced from ot her mates several
times before. For this reason Judce
Krazer denied the decree, saying that
they would both be back in court again
within a year If ho granted It.

SAMUEL, llll.ti IS OUTSPOKEN
ABOUT PAXAMA PROJECT.
Distance Too Great for Ditch to Be
come Competitor of Railroads,
Says Seattle Man.
According to Pamuel Hill, of Seat
tle, .the Panama Canal is a fake. This
will be rather startling: news to many
people. In fact, it should be listed
under the "Important If true" head.
Mr. Hill is a Seattle capitalist who
makes grood roads his particular
hobby. He is president of the Wash
ington Good Roads Association. He is
at the Portland on his return from a
trip to Washington, D. C, via New
Orleans.
Aside from the admission that the
canal will be useful In time of war as
a means of sending: fleets from the At
lantic to the Pacific Mr. Hill can see
no g:ood in the big; ditch.
"From the center of the United
States to New York is 1300 miles, and
It Is an equal distance from the Pa
cific. In shipping commodities either
to the East or West and then through
the canal it will be found that the
haul Is too long and too expensive to
make it possible for water transpor
tation to compete with the railroads.
Rail transportation is so much easier
and quicker that the Panama route
will be found worth little."
Mr. Hill ls father of a scheme to
build a highway from British Colum
bia tp Mexico. Washington, with the
aid of convict labor, is ready to build
its lap, California is already working
on a big state road. and. according to
Mr. Hill, it is now up to Oregon to
Interest Itself in doing Its part.
The good roads advocates of Seattle
have projected a road from the Sound
city to Vancouver. Wasn., and Oregon
is expected to pick up the movement
and build a road through the Willam
ette Valley and on to the California
line. -
Mr. Hill Is preaching the good roads
gospel wherever he goes and declares
It to be one of th,e most important
Issues now before the public, and that
by reason of bad roads In the United
States Jl.ooo.JOO tn possible industrial
profits are lost.

BIDDING IS BRISK
Many Buyers at Local Horse
Auction.
GOOD BLOOD IS SHOWN
Tho-e In Attendance Eager to Buy
II era use or Splendid Stock.
Other Consignments Are
on Way Here.
Portland haa arrived as a livestock
market. No better proof of this is
needed than the way buyers 'turned out
yesterday morning and afternoon to the
open three-day sale of the Portland
Horse Sale Company, which began at
the Exposition grounds. An hour be
fore the sale opened, several hundred
prospective buyers passed through the
SCKMK AT THE PORTLAND HORSH
stalls, getting; a line on something they
wanted, and by the time that Auction
eers Colonel R. L. Harriman, of Ken
tucky, and Colonel Y". HigrgMnbottom,
began to cry their sales, there were
fully BOO buyers standing? around the
bidding; ring, or seated near.
When the last horse had been
knocked down, 61 horses had passed
under the hammer, and were sold at an
average price of $165 per head. The
bidding was brisk from the time that
the first horse was brought into the
ring until the last horse was sold, and
just to show that th buyers were more
anxious to buy than the auctioneers to
sell, they kept them at it 'until after 6
o'clock.
The Brook-Nook consignment was
first in the catalogue. The lot were
well-bred, but they were green, and
many of them were out of condition;
hav hi g received bruises and scratches
in shipping. To the practical horse
man, this did not cut much figure, and
when a horse hit their fancy they kept
the auctioneers busy.
Local People Pnrerase. ,
I. Lang bought a handsome chestnut
gelding that was one of the best sold
during the afternoon. He made several
other purchases, and so did Sam El
more, of Aatorla, and H. C. Campbell.
The heaviest buyer of the day was S. T.
Smith, of Roseburg. and the Palto Alto
Stock Farm,, of Boise, Idaho. Samuel
Hill, who is Interested in good roads,
was among the purchasers. Mr. Hill
has bought, with his purchase of yes
terday afternoon, 13 Morgan horses,
bred on the Brook-Nook farm. He an
nounced after his purchase that he
would send the horses to his home in
Seattle.
Eastern buyers at the sale were more
than surprised at the- spirit shown in the
buying, and compared it favorably with
the large markets in the East. In fact,
several of them said that it established
Portland as one of the best horse and
general livestock markets in the United
State.
This afternoon, at the conclusion of the
Brook-Nook sale, the great filly Mary
Mimms (2:30), will be sold. Thi filly is
undoubtedly one of th handsomest bits of
horseflesh that ever stood on four feet,
and has the breeding and the appearance
of making a great racing tool.''
More Horsrs to Come.
The consignment of J. A. Jones and J.
A. Baddeley will follow, and It is ex
pected that the sale will grow In interest
to its close. Many record horses are to
be sold the third day, and buyers are
here from many distant points to compete
when these animals passbefore the auc
tion block. Some of the prominent buyers
present were: R. El Drew, Helena, Mont.;
Y. Porter. Minneapolis. Minn.; J. B.
Gray. Victoria, B. C: B. W. Dollcy. North

Peninsula Tracts Are Added to Ken

Deeds were recorded yesterday for 21
acres adjoining; the Love donation land
claim, on the Peninsula, from James
Shepard to George Heusner; from
Hazel King, to the same, of 23 acres,
and from William King-, of eight acres,
being part of the recent purchase of
the Swifts for a townslte to be known

some property west of Tenth street.
The property referred to is located on
the new Salem line. Considerable
movement along that line Is expected
from now on, and advance in values
has already been made.

Attorney of Pair Is Not
Alarmed.
COME BACK WHEN WANTED
Both Cnder Four Months Sentence
for Trying to Besmirch Mayor's
Reputation Case on Appeal
to the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Belle tVayralre and R. G. Rad
ding;. under sentence of four months in
the County Jail for trying; to besmirch
EXPOSITION GROUNDS YESTERDAY.
the reputation of Mayor Lane, are gone.
The prepossessing Belle is somewhere
in Kansas or Missouri at this time,
while the suave and smiting Radding is
said to be in Seattle, awaiting the re
moval of his vermiform appendix.
Whether the absence from the city of
the two is worrying their bondsmen
cannot be said, for the simplo reason
that, while their bondsmen have been
frequently suspected as to their identi
ty, there is no definite information
available on"the subject. Mrs. Way
mire is out on a cash bond of $750.
while Radding has $1000 pp. or rather
someone has $1000 up for him.
Seneca Fonts, lawyer for the two,
is not in any way worried .over their
absence.' The case is now awaiting ap
peal to the Supreme Court. Whenever
the sppea! has been disposed of, Belle
and Uariding will return, he says. They
are merely off on a little leaev of ab
sence, and have given assurance that
they will return on request.
The exact location of Mrs. Waymire.
as already stated, is not known. She
went East to see her little daughter,
Thclma. When la6t heard of, the little
daughter was at the home of Way
mire's parents, some place In Kansas.
The Waymire rendezvous, however, Is
St. Louis. Here Waymire is said to re
side, and there is some talk of a pos
sible reconciliation between the es
tranged Waymire and Belle. In which
event there would naturally be consid
erable Inquiry as to what disposition
had been made of the affections of
young Bell, the jeweler's employe, who
was enamored of Mrs. W'aymire, and
who said he intended to marry her.
Whether Mrs. Waymire changed her
mind or Bell tired of the romance is
purely a matter of speculation at this
time.
It is known that whether or not
there Is to be a reconciliation in the
Waymire family, Mrs. Waymire Is anx
ious to regain custody of the little
daughter, although she said before go
ing she would not bring the child here
until her case was se(tled in the Su
preme Court. In event the conviction
is allowed to stand, the couple will
return to serve their time, Mr. Fouts
said.
At thfs time the lawyer is engaged
In drafting his appeal. Flaws In the
trial and the indictment of the couple
will be claimed. It will be urged, in
particular, that the reading of the
jury's verdict in Judge Gantenbein's
court, when the defendants and their
representatives were absent, constitut
ed a breach of their inalienable rights.
CARE FOR HISTORIC SPOT

Champoeg Monument.
Joseph Buchtel. who will be chair
man of the celebration which will be
held at Champoeg; next Saturday, in
honor of the first provisional govern
ment meeting: held May 2, 1843, desires
to form a permanent organization to
take care of the grounds and monu
ment at Champoeg at this gathering.
His object is to name a committee of
about 25 prominent citizens, largely
pioneers interested in such matters,
who will meet in Portland June 3, the
next day after the annual meeting of
the Pioneer Association, to formulate
plans for such an organization.
Mr. Buchtel says Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Oregon are all interested
in perpetuating the memory of the
event that resulted In the Oregon
Country being retained by the United
States. The purpose of this organisa
tion la to secure more grounds and im
prove them. These plans will take
some money, and to raise the money
and make the improvements needed.
Mr. Buchtel hopes to form this organ

COLONIST TRAVEL HEAVY
Southern Oregon Gets Lion's Share
of Incoming Tide.
Tourist figures, furnished by the
traffic department of the Harriman
lines for the week ending; April 23.
show the entrance to tnis State over
the allied lines of 1222 as compared
with 1122 for the corresponding week
last year. These statistics Include
124 passengers whose destinations
were points north of Portland, as
agrainst 403 for the same week in 1907.
This represents a clear gain of. 179 for
the Willamette and Rogue River val
leys over the corresponding; week a
year ago.
Of the 1223 incoming; tourists. 244
were routed direct to Portland. 271
were destined for points in the Wil
lamette and Rogue River Valleys
south of Portland. Of tlie others.
left the train at Ia Grande. 11 at
Baker City and 19 at Walla Walla.
The .others were distributed among
the different points on the O. K. & N.
in Kastern Oregon.
The report for the week reflects a
substantial increase in the arrival of
new settlers in Oregon, the Southern
part of the State drawing more- than
Its proportionate share. The fact is
