that department said yesterday:
'Having acted in tne capacity oi live
stock judge for a number of years in tne
Middle West and consequently came In
touch with some of the best stock our
country affords, it gives me pleasure to
report that I find equally as good repre
sentatives In the different departments as
will be found anywhere, showing that
Oregon not only has the mon that are
progressive along their lines but that she
has most wonderful natural facilities In
producing the feed stuffs that go to makTe
livestock what It really is, as It Is only
through these channels that livestock can
be developed ana orougui io no '6"i

HAS FICKLE HEART
Dr. W. K. Haviland Too Gener
ous With Love, Says Wife.
SMILED ON OTHER WOMEN
Judge Cleland Hears Series of Tales
of Mismated Pairs and Grants
Freedom to Quintet oi
Unbappy Wives.
Dr. Willam King Haviland has such a
penchant for buying flowers, chocolates,
silks and satins for m'oraen other than his
wife that Mrs. Haviland, by describing his
conduct In the Circuit Court, yesterday,
got a divorce, an award of 1500 alimony,
an allowance of 3200 for the cost of suit
and permanent alimony In the sum of 130
a month for the support of their little son.
Mrs. Haviland, a woman of prepossess
ing appearance, said the doctor's fondness
for flirtation manifested Itself last Fall.
He took women friends to the Portland
for dinner and to Claremont Tavern. He
showed especial devotion to one Mrs. Nel
lie Huston and to a Miss Jennie Patter
son, she said. Not long ago he left the
city tn company with Mrs. Huston and Is
now living some place In Idaho. She
was very promptly allowed a decree.
Four other unhappy wives were restored
to a state of single-blessedness. Nellie
Morris complained that her husband,
George G. Morris, is so Insanely jealous
of her that she can't stand it any longer.
They were married at Chicago July, 1905,
and since that time he has frequently
abused her while In Jealous rages, she
said. Morris is a peanut vendor.
Anne Berg had a real grievance against
Andrew Berg. They got married at
Galesville, Wis., and as soon as the cere
mony was ended he started drinking and
has been drunk ever sine, she says. She
has to work for a living. One time she
sent money back to Galesville to pay his
way out here but he must have spent the
money on a spree for he never showed up.
Minnie Newman was at the theater with
Eltsha H. Newman a year ago in Seattle.
They, quarreled In an undertone. Suddenly
he got up. left the theater, and Is still
missing. She thinks he is over in British
Columbia. She got her divorce.
Emma Knowles married C. E. Knowles
In January of 1896. He got tired of her
In September of 18(04 and has been seen
no more. She was given a divorce.
Margaret Yeats wanted a divorce from
George Yeats because he isn't supporting
her. Judge Cleland told her, however,
that nonsupport is a criminal offense In
Oregon but not grounds for divorce. So
she will have to figure on a new plan of
getting the decree.
Mrs. Waymlre's Bail Forfeit.
The 1750 In gold deposited for the ap
pearance of Belle Waymire, under sent
ence for conspiring to blacken Mayor
Lane's name, went with a merry jingle
into the county coffers, yesterday after
noon. An order was issued by Circuit
Judge Gantenbein declaring the sum for
feit. Inasmuch as Mrs. Waymire is sup
posedly out of the state and, under a
misdemeanor charge outside the court s
jurisdiction, no action could be taken
looking toward her return to Oregon.
But should she come here voluntarily at
any time in the future, her arrest could
be made on a bench warrant and she
could be made to serve the four months
sentence In Jail regardless of the 7a0
forfeiture.
Fire Limit Law Sustained.
Permits for repairs on wooden build
ings Inside the city Are limits does not
authorize enlargements, according to a
decision made yesterday In a minor city
suit which was taken on appeal before
Circuit Judge Bronaugh. James P. Jen
sen was recently arrested and convicted
for violation of the building ordinance.
He enlarged a building at 231 Madison
street on a permit for repairs. He con
tended that the permit gave him that
right but Judge Bronaugh said it clearly
did not.
ANCIENT RELIGIOUS RITE
Jewish Sew Year of Older Origin
Than Source of Bible.
The feast of the New Year as celebrated
by the Jews all over the world Is perhaps
one of the' oldest If not the oldest relig
ious festival still practiced. It is de
scribed In the Bible (Leviticus et al) and
is evidently of older origin than the
Biblical source. It has come to mean the
renewal of the religious and moral reck
oning by striking a balance and starting
anew. It is often called and so the Bible
describes it as "memorial day" when all
misdeeds of the individual are remembered
by himself and recounted before his
maker. As a calendar year It Is reck
oned! aa the 5689. It Is celebrated by spe
cial prayers and songs with the blowing
of the trumpet to assemble all to the faith
once more and is the beginning of 10 days
of repentance concluding with the great
fast day, the Day of Atonement.
Temple Beth Israel Services.
The New Year services at Temple Beth
Tmol commence this morning at 10
o'clock. Rabbi Wise Vlll deliver the ser
mon on "A Programme of Faith." The
musical part of the service will be under
the direction of Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer.
Strangers are welcome.
A SPLENDID BUFFET.
The Elegant Board of Trade Buffet
Is Most Popular.
The new buffet recently opened by C.
D. Elder in the new Board of Trade
building, comer of -Fourth and Oak
streets, has met with the approval of the
men of Portland, as is evidenced by the
generous patronage that has been ac
corded this elegant place.
The feature, which is Immensely ap
preciated, is the grand, sumptuous lunch
which is served each day at the lunch
hours. This lunch is not the usual ordi
nary affair, but is choice, as well as ap
petizing. A choice line of liquors and cigars are
dispensed. Many have remarked about
the elegance and beauty of the furnish
ings and fixtures of the resort. If you
want to see the finest buffet in the city,
don't fail to visit the Board of Trade
buffet.
Fireman Asks for Hearing.
"I desire an investigation by the Are
committee, as I did not intentionally
steal the cream," was the plea of C. E.
IJndloff, formerly a city fireman, who
was discharged two weeks ago for being
absent from duty without leave. Ha
was also accused of stealing some cream
from a creamery In the neighborhood,
but this he denies, and the matter will
receive attention at the hands of the
fire committee.

combines the expe
rience of the long
past with the style
and skill of the
fleeting present.
Made in Saint Paul since 1855.
Sharp words were hurled at the three
members of the fire committee of the City
Executive Board during Its session yes
terday afternoon, over the report of the
committee stating thta It had been unable,
to fix responsibility upon any one for tna
neglect to inspect or take any action on
86 hydrants from May J to August '..
The committe's report referred th
matter back to the Board "for further
consideration." After considerable dis
cussion this was adopted, which means
that the matter Is to receive more atten
tion. .
That Fire Chief Campbell Is the object
of the Investigation, in so far as Thomas
G. Greene, chairman of the polloe com
mittee, and of Isaac Swett, the newest
member of the Board, are conoerned,
there is no further doubt. Mr. Swett, af
ter hearing the report of the fire commit
tee, which is composed of Marcus A.
Fleischner. Richard Wilson and L. T.'
Peer", declared that. In his opinion, th
blame was fixed, and that the responsibil
ity rests with Chief Campbell. The Chief
was not present during the session.
Takes Exception to Report.
"I was present at the meetings of the
fire committee when the matter ofhese
hydrants was under consideration," said
Mr. Swett, "and I must say. In all candor,
that I cannot agree with the report of
the committee. To my mind It was made
clear that the responsibility rests with
Chief Campbell; that he is to blame, and'
should make an explanation, but no ex-,
planation has been forthcoming. Ther
certainly was negligence in the failure to
test and accept or reject those hydrants,
at a time when people all over the city
were clamoring for them, and Inasmuch
as It was the duty of the Fire Department
to test the hydrants, and they were un
tested. I certainly cannot favor tha
adoption of the committee report."
Walter O. Haines, representative of tha
Hoge & Swift Company, contractors for
the hydrants, said that If Chief Campbell
Is incompetent. Mayor Lane "certainly
knows what to do with him." This was!
In reply to a statement by Mayor Lane,
in which he said that he ordered the
tests flnallv. when a committee of citi
zens told him that Chief Campbell said
the Mayor was responsible for the delay.
"While it may have been possible that
the Mayor had this responsibility," com
mented Mr. Haines, "yet, if one of his
subordinates was dilatory, the Mayor
knows what to do."
Should Give Them Hearing.
"If the Chief and the Water Board are
going to be tried here," said Mr. Peery,,
"It seems to me that they should have)
representation. They are not present
here at this time, and It seems to me)
that this dlscuslon Is out of place."
P E. Sullivan raised a question off
Jurisdiction. He thought It doubtful
whether the Executive Board could try
the case, and moved Its reference to th
Water Board. I
"I do not deem It a proper procedure)
to refer the case to the Water Board,
eaid Mr. Peery. "The Water Board's re .
sponsiblllty in the premises was als
questioned. The Water Board may b
expert with a whitewash brush, for al
that I know."
"I hardly think it courteous for thii
Board to try the case if we have no juris
diction." said Mr. Newell, "and certainly
it is discourteous to refer to whitewash.
in this direction."
"Well. It may be that the Water Boardl
