mous request, he was invited to go on to
the end, and held his crowd practically
unbroken. Many came up with a request
that the address be published, in order

that are seldom heard outside of metro
politan concert halls.

from the farms o( the Mississippi
valley.

Mary Sams Files Unique Suit In
Court at Hlllsboro.
HILLSBORO, Or., July .9 (Special.)
A unique feature in Circuit Court circles
In this county is the two complaints filed
by Bagley & Hare wherein one woman.
Mary Sams, is suing two different de
fendants for divorces. The woman in
the case is Mary Sams, and her first suit
is against Gardner Sams, who she mar
ried in Dayton, Wash., in 1881. She al
leges that they lived together until 1895,
when Sams deserted her at Walla Walla,
after telling her that their marriage was
invalid, because he had not complied with
the law in procuring a license, and be
cause the officiating minister was not
duly ordained, and did not make proper
return. Her second complaint is against
Elmer Nolan, whom she married in Uma
tilla County late in 1895, believing her for
mer marriage void. She says that after
her marriage to Nolan the first husband
had the two arrested for bigamy, of
which charge she and Nolan were acquit
ed. During these years, the complaint
states, she was too poor to get her cases
into court, and she asks for legal separa
tion from both men, and the custody of a
minor child, by Nolan. She finds her
first marriage, to Sams, was valid, and
desertion is her cause of complaint. x

'
Plan to Connect Portland and Eu

Hip
I
SALEM, Or.. July 9. (Special.) The
construction of a smooth, hard surfaced
straight and even grade highway from
Portland to Eugene, Is a project which
the Salem Board of. Trade has under
taken to promote. Last evening a com
mittee was appointed with Judge John
H. Scott as chairman to report upon a
plan furthering the project. The idea
is to make the road particularly at
tractive to automobllists, thereby bring
ing to this valley all the wealthy auto
mobile tourists of the East, who come
to the Coast. Presumably all the coun
ties through which the road would pass
will be asked to co-operate in con
structing the highway. The road
would not be for the exclusive use of
automobiles, but the idea is to make
it particularly satisfactory to them.
