Much Interest In Boston Terriers.
From a local standpoint perhaps the
keenest interest in the show will be when
it comes to showing the Boston terriers.
Jt has only been a. few years since the
Hoston terrier became a pouplar fad in
Portland, but from the start there has
been a desire Vmong the fanciers to im
port tha best. Twenty-elRht dogs and 46

WAGNON LOSES HIS TEMPER
Single Taxer Is Quite Impolite In
Remarks About The Oregonlan.
PORTLAND, April 37. (To the Editor.)
Your editorial of Monday, in which you
try to make people believe that a farmer
inlKht be ruined by tho building ot a rail
road Into some other country, U mostly
hofrwaeh or mud thrown out to fool the
people, whom you want to vote to con
tinue land monopoly. If you want equal
taxation, as you pretend, why have you
not pointed out the existing Inequalities
in .taxation, auch as the undervaluation
of all railroads In Oregon outside of Co
i .lumbia and I'matilla counties?
All the opponents of the single tax
amendment are very much worried lost
the farmer is hurt by the single tax. but
you think It Is all right to assess rail
roads at $16,000 per mile when It is pav
ing dividends on Wo.000 per mile. Why
don't you cry out against this robbery
of the farmers in every county of the
tate: or is it for the -good of the farmer
to exempt SM.000 of every mile of rail
road? Again, the S. P. Railroad has more
timber land than any other company in
Oregon, and pays less taxes. In Clack
amas It haa acres, assessed at $15
per acre when it is worth $00 per acre,
so the railroad now pays taxes on $wuooo
of value when it should be $4,000,000. Here
Is an exemption of H.NO.on) that you
know la a fraud on the farmers of Clack-
1A
HOW
amas County, and until you take up such
matters as this we -will cot pay much at
tention to your cuttle-fish argument about
'justice to the farmer." 4
Your whole fteht against the single tax
Is to save the face of the land monopo
lists, and you cannot becloud the Issue
with straw men. such as "buil calves" and
"Guano beds." or farmers that should
have a rebate on their taxes from the
fact that their land has depreciated In
value. You know that the state has
been robbed out of thousands, yes mil
lions of dollars, by the undervaluations
of city land, and while we cannot have
a reassessment for all the past years,
we can and must stop the robbery of the
farmers and the other common people
by this system of robbery that you are
pleaded to call "equal taxation."
We quite agree with you that the
"farmer should not pay taxes on his
stock and improvements as the very ex
istence of society depends upon their
development." but while you say so in
words, we, the single taxers, are showing
our faith by our works. We are pro
posing a law that will do that very thing.
The purpose of the single tax amend
ment Is to relieve industry and thrift
from taxation and last, but not least,
to break trp land monopoly.

o.
R. Blystone Establishes an
Alibi by Being in Time
for Dinner.
WIFE COMES TO RESCUE
Arrest Tor Passing Bad Checks Is
Set Down as a Cae of Mistaken
Identity Prosecuting Wit
nesses Too Positive.
The fact that he went home to din
ner an hour earlier than usual last
Thursday . afternoon, was the circum
stance that saved O. R. Blystone, a
young man of good connections, from
conviction on a charge of passing
4 i.y
r
worthless checks, when his trial came
up before Municipal , Judge Cameron
yesterday afternoon.
The testimony - presented against
Blystone, who is a son-in-law of W. A.
Storey, was seemingly conclusive. He
was positively identified as the man
who passed a worthless check for IS
at the Mount Hood saloon last Thurs
day.. J. L. Taylor, an employe of the
Standard Oil Company, who was in the
saloon when the cheek was passed, and
John Smith, the bartender who was vic
timized, were both positive in their
Identification of the accused. They
said he entered the place about 5:30 or
a little later, had several drinks, and
then flashed the check, drawn on the
Yale Laundry Company. The check was
cashed without Question. Testimony
was also presented to show that Bly
stone once .passed a bad check on the
Y. M. C. A... but was not prosecuted on
account of repenting and making good
the amount.
Taylor and Smith were both positive
as to the hour of Blystone's appearance
at the saloon, and this positivenesa
was what upset the state's case, for
Blystone succeeded in establishing an
alibi that was satisfactory to the court.
Mrs. Blystone first testified that her
husband reached their apartments at
the Beaver Flats at 5 o'clock, or a few
minutes before. Mrs. Banks, proprie
tress of the place, corroborated this to
the extent of saying she saw him about
the place about 5:.10. Mrs. Campbell
also testified to seeing Blystone In a
grocery store near the flats a few min
utes before 6 o'clock. t
Judge Cameron was thus left in a
dilemma. The witnesses were all re
garded as reputable." Yet someone was
necessarily mistaken. The Mount Hood
saloon is located well over on the East
Side, at East Water and Madison
streets. Tho flats are on Marshall
street, and fully two and a half miles
distant from the saloon. Blystone
could hardly have been at both points
at one and the same time.
In passing on the case, the court said
he was inclined to regard the possibil
ity of mistaken identity. At least the
evidence was not sufficient, in his opin
ion, to hold Blystone. Accordingly he
dismissed the case.
The unpleasant ending of a com
mendable plan of two world-weary
people to get off on a ranch by them
selves and forget the past and the big
busy world was recited In the Munici
pal Court yesterday. The case occu
pled nearly four hours, and In many

In
respects was the most unusual hearing
ever brought up in that court of queer
cases.
Frank Redstacher, formerly of Port
land, but lately of Roseburg, was ac
cused by his wife of having driven her
from the ranch to earn money by un
lawful means, a jocation not altogether
novel to her. Redstacher. on the other
hand, accused his wife of having brok
en their compact to lead a rural life
by eloping with a visitor at their ranch
and returning to Portland to take up
ber old way.
The couple were married during the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. At that
time Redstacher was proprietor of a no
torious saloon on Fourth street, near Sal
mon, while bis bride was but that doesn't
matter. Redstacher got rid of his saloon,
his wife got rid of her bad habits and
they left together, buying a ranch, near
Roseburg, where they did very well for
a time.
This much is admitted by both, but
thereafter their accounts differ. Red
stacher told the court that when things
were at the heighth of prosperity on the
ranch, along came one Axtel Peterson,
former friend of Mrs. Redstacher, to
visit at the ranch. He suspected Peterson
had been invited and did not happen
along by chance, but said nothing. This
was only a short time ago. He aw)ke
one morning to find he had the ranch
all to himself. His wife had gone and
so was - Peterson. Redstacher went to
Roseburg, followed the line of least re
sistance, and shortly was back behind
the bar as bartender.
Mrs. Redstacher came straight to her
old haunts. She was arrested several
nights ago by the indefatigable Tom Kay,
terror of all wrongdoers. She was not
what would be called sober at the timt
and was making quite a dlstrubance.
When taken to the station she swore that
her husband drove her from the ranch
with instructions to make her living as
best she could, without working, and not
to forget to send him an occasional re
mittance. The police made further in
vestigation and decided to arrest Red
stacher and bring him to Portland on
the charge preferred by his wife.
Redstacher caused a number of farm
ers living near Roseburg to be subpenaed
to testify as regards his wife's conduct
while on the ranch and to tell of his own
good reputation while in that community.
But Deputy District Attorney John Stev
enson had considerable evidence to show
Redstacher's guilt and with Attorney
John K. Logan, who appeared as special
prosecutor, insisted on conviction. Judge
Cameron took the case under advisement.
Redstacher, if acquitted, has said he will
seek to prosecute his wife on a statutory
charges.
John Greider, a contracting carpenter,
residing at 941 East Gtisan street, was
before the court pn a charge of having
raised a disturbance in the middle of the
night As a matter of fact, his wife
raised the commotion, although Greider
caused her outcries, which aroused the
neighborhood at 1:30 A. M. yesterday, by
seizing a shotgun and threatening to kill
himself.
Greider admitted he threatened .to kill
himself and might have carried the threat
into execution had not Patrolman Keith
rushed Into the place and disarmed him.
He said he was discouraged because of
illness and because of his wife's bad
health which necessitated endless doc
tor's bills. It was said by friends that
Greider Is given to fits of slight mental
derangement.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson appeared in
behalf of Greider and held a long con
ference with Judge Cameron and the hus
band and wife. Greider finally said he
would try to face his burdens," take a
more cheerful view of life and leave off
brooding. With this understanding, he
was allowed to go. His gun, however,
was retained by the court.
ASK FDR FLEET MANEUVERS
KEQVEST VESSELS SPEND MY
OFF ClrATSOP BEACH.
Commercial Organizations to Be In
vited to Participate In Appeal
to War Department.
Portlands commercial bodies today will
be asked to unite in an appeal to the War
Department that the fleet of battleships
be directed to devote one dayvto maneu
vering off the Clatsop Beach en route
from San Francisco to Seattle. This plan
for bringing a part of the fleet within the
reach of the average Portland citizen
without entailing a trip either to San
Francisco or Seattle originated with Din
J. Jloore, of the Danmoore. He will to
day take the subject up with Tom Rich
ardson, manager of the Portland Com
mercial Club, and Secretary El C. Gilt-
ner. of the Chamber of Commerce, and
suggest that negotiations Immediately be
opened with the Secretary of War at
Washington.
Until recently Mr. Moore resided at
Seaside and from his acquaintance with
the Clatsop Beach knows that there is an
abundance of water to enable the battle
ships safely and easily to come within a
mile of the Summer resort city. He main
tains that since the War Department has
turned Portland down in its request for a
visit from the fleet, the request to permit
the battleships to loiter for a day opposite
Seaside and in the vicinity of Tillamook
Head may be acceded to.
"A request for the fleet to approach the
Clatsop Beaoh Is more reasonable than
that of other places that have been vis
ited." said Mr. Moore yesterday. "At
Ixng Beach it was Impossible for several
of the battleships to get within three
miles of the ctty. The Government charts
show a depth of 32 fathoms, or 192 feet, at
Tillamook Rock, while there Is a depth
of 16 fathoms, or 96 feet, inside of Tilla
mook Head. The same measurements
erive a uniform depth of 63 feet along the
b?ach and within a mile of Seaside. There
could Be no possible danger because of
luck of water, and If the department can
be induced to modify the Itinerary of the
fleet In this slisrht particular I am satisfied
we can get the battleships to stop. It will
be possible for the entire fleet easily to
get within a mile of Seaside. This resort
belongs to Portland and Astoria, and can

BANQUET REV. MARCOTTE
Class or V M. C. A. Present Him
With Watch-Guard.
An enthusiastic leathering of the
men who were in the T. M. C A. "Hike
to Hood" last year, and who after
wards formed a bible-class under the
leadership of the Rev. Henry Mar
cotte. of the Westminster Presbyter
ian Church, met last night to give a
banquet to their leader. The chair
was taken by Fred kelson, who ex
plained the men had met to show their
appreciation of Rev. Marcotte by pre
senting him with a irold watch guard.
Mr. Nelson said. "Tnis Is only the
second rednion We have had since our
trip to Hood, and we wanted to make
it not only a reunion but the occasion
of making a small presentation to Mr.
Marcotte. who for 32' weeks has led
this class, which has been one of the
best ever held at the Association."
Then turning toward Mr. Marcotte, "I
want to ask you to accept this gold
watch guard as a token of the esteem
and respect in which you are held by
this class."
Mr. Marcotte had difficulty in find
ing words, he said. In which to ex
press his appreciation of the presenta
tion, Mr. Marcotte continued, "You
men know, or if you don't, you ought
to know, that it has been a delight to
me to take this class, and if the class
has had as much pleasure in coming
as I have had in being here, we can
call it a success Under such circum
stances as these, the best that can be
said is 'thank you'."
Following Mr. Marcotte I. B. Rhodes
indulged in reminiscences regarding
the Mount H od trip, and expressed
the hope that they would have Mr.
Marcotte with the class this Summer
when it hikes to Crat.ir Lake. It is
proposed to make thf class a Tues
day evening outdoor Bible-Class and
the secretary is listing men wishing
