Judge Gatens Declares That Race
Suicide Is Responsible for
Large Number of Legal
Separations In America.
When she explained that she had twice
married the same man, only to discover
that It would be necessary to have a third
ceremony performed if she would be
lpgally wedded to him. Mrs. Mary I
Evans was readily granted a divorce by
Judge Gatens yesterday from Oren
Evans. In addition to these facts. Mis.
Evans testified that when she insisted
on a third marriage Evans became abus
ive, falsely accused her of inildelity and
finally abandoned her last October.
Mrs. Evans testilled that she first mar
ried. Evans in May. 1902, while living in
Illinois. At that time Evans said his
name was Harry Miller. After Ave years
of married life she discovered that Mil
ler was not his true name, and insisted
on a second marriage, which was per
formed in Curry County, this state, in
April. 1907. On this occasion the hus
band of numerous matrimonial aliases
took the name. Oren Evans, which he
protested was his right name.
Subsequently ills sister visited them,
and Mrs. Evans learned that her hus
band true name really was Ferdinand
Vandersloot. Tired of the deception of
her spouse, but willing to take another
chance. Mrs. Evans insisted that the
marriage ceremony should again he re
peated, and It was at this stage of their
more or loss uncertain matrimonial re
lations that the disagreement arose, re
sulting in desertion by the man of tri
angular identity.
It was while the application of John
C. Helse for a divorce from Mabel C.
Helso was under consideration that
Judge Gatens expressed himself very for
cibly as to his opinion on the subject of
race suicide and its relation to the di
vorce activity of the country. Helse tes
tified that, after six years of married
life, during which they never had a
quarrel, the wife abruptly abandoned
Mm. When asked by Judge Gatens if
the couple had any children, Helse re
plied negatively, explaining that his wife
did not care for children.
"That is the trouble," remarked the
judge. "In the absence of children in a
home, the husband Is disposed to remain
way much of the time, while the wife
finds herself unoccupied. There are, of
course, conditions which in a measure
discourage married couples from raising
Children. In some cases it is impossible
to rent houses where the applicants have
children. In other cases parents are
barred from theaters and restaurants if
they take young children with them.
However, children are essential to bring
ing parents more closely together, and I
m convinced that with children, many
marriages would be far more happier."
Helse obtained a divorce. The couple
were married in May, 1902; the wife de
serting him in April. 1908.
Nellie DeDevers was granted a legal
separation from Edward DeDevers. who

GOODE CHILDREN ARE SUED
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company Seeks Pair view Lots.
Helen and Henry Falrclough Goode,
surviving children and heirs of the late
H. W. Goode, are being sued in the State
Circuit Court by the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company for the posses
sion of a part of blok 1, Fairview. It
is alleged in the complaint that while the
late Mr. Goode was president of the plain
tiff corporation, he purchased all thia
block of land at Fairview to b held in
trust for the Oregon Company, a subsi
diary company of the corporation which
appears as plaintiff in the pending pro
ceeding. Later, it is alleged, several of
the lots in the block were transferred by
deed to the plaintiff company by &"oode
and wife, title to the other lots being
vested in Goode's surviving children.
Mr. Goode died March 31. J907. without
having completed the conveyance of the
land to the company, which now asks
that a guardian ad litem be appointed
for young Goode. who is a minor., and
that cause be shown why the remainder
of the tract should not be conveyed to
the plaintiff corporation. Miss Goode
has attained her majority and the ap
pointment of a guardian is not necessary
in her case.

Little French Girl Given Over
to Boys' and Girls' Aid.
BOTH PARENTS WANT HER
Father and Mother Separate After
Coming to Portland and Daugh
ter Is Taken Care Of by Out
siders Until Court Decides.
Strife between estranired narents for
the custody 'of a brieht-eved little
French miss of 7 years was terminated
in the Juvenile Court yesterday, when
Judge Bronaugh ordered that the girl
become a ward of the Boys' and Girls'
Aid Society. After hearing all sides of
the case, which was one of the most un
usual ever to come before the Juvenile
Court since it was established in Port
land. Judge Bronaugh decided the only
proper disposition to be made of the
young girl was to turn her over to the
Aid Society. i
Henry Unglas and Josephine Priolet.
the parents of the child, came here
from Idaho, but separated shortly after
reaching Portland, the mother retaining
possession of the child until about six
weeks ago, when she voluntarily sur
rendered its custody to friends. At the
same time she appeared before the
County Court and consented to Its
adoption by Frederick Nesme, a saloon
keeper of this city. The application of
Nesme was rejected, and the custody of
the child was placed temporarily with
the Juvenile Court. In the meantime
both the father and the mother applied
to the court for the child, and yesterday
was tne time tixed ror hearing their applications.
In support of his claim to the child.
the father explained to the court that
he had recently married, had a good
home and was in every way able to pro
vide for the girl. This apparently en
raged the mother, who charged that
Lngias was not the girl's father, but
this did not improve the woman's
chances of obtaining the daughter. The
officers of the court had been Informed
that the mother, after leaving Unglas,
had lived a questionable life. The
mother, however, protested she had re
formed and was leading an honorable
life, and was in every way competent to
care for the daughter. To these repre
sentations, however, Judge Bronaugh
turned a deaf ear, and delivered the
girl into the custody of Superintendent
Gardner, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society.
The 7-year-old miss apparently did
not recognize her reputed father, to
whom she paid not the slightest atten
tion. When her mother entered the
courtroom, on the contrary, she slipped
from the lap of the motherly matron of
the Aid Society, and running across the
room, warmly embraced the woman
who was seeking to regain possession
or her child.

TT N abundant supply of small fruits
M were shown this week. and some kinds
are now as low In price as they are likely
to go. Currants black, white and red
were In fhe market. The first (of which
there waa a very limited supply), van
ished rapidly at 15 cents a pound; white
are 10 cents a box, and red two boxes
for 25 cents. Gooseberries, at four pounds
for 25 cents, are not expected to last long.
An Interesting new arrival (particularly
to old-country eyes), was a consignment
of red gooseberries, more or less "hairy."
The price, 15 cents a box, did not seem
high to those in whose minds they awoke
recollection of bare-footed bliss.
Cherries are decidedly more abundant
and, despite a little damage from the
rain, are very large and handsome. Royal
Annes Beemed most in evidence and were
bringing 15 cents a pound. A first offer
ing of ' Lamberts went readily at 20
cents a pound. A large quantity of this
leading variety is expected for next week.
Nice Kentish cherries were bringing 25
cents for three pounds, but they could
also be had as low as five cents a pound.
The first Oregon apricots are to be
seen and take rank in the "greatly te be
desired" class. Their present price is 60
cents a basket, but the promise of an
abundant crop will probably soon bring
them to a much lower quotation. Good

(also from California) could be had at
25, 20 and 15 cents a dozen. These last
were of the freestone variety.
Red raspberries, at three boxes for
25 cents, were among the most abundant
of small fruits, but blackberries at two
boxes for 25 cents, and loganberries,
cheaper still, made an unusuallv fine ap
pearance, while wild blackberries, at $1.50
per gallon help to keep preserving pans
busy. Among the imported fruits, good
bananas at 30 cents a dozen and down
ward, and pinapples, 30 and 35 cents each,
adorned almost every market.
Oranges are getting scarce, but at
tractive navels were on sale at 40 to 50
cents a dozen; lemons 25 cents a dozen
Some California grape fruit, five cents
each to two for a quarter, apples at three
pounds for 25 cents, recalled the fact that
the Oregon apple crop threatens to be
short this season. Cantaloupes were

is located in the very center of the most famous fruit-growing district
in the Northwest, and the Northwest is the leading fruit country of
the United States.
Why is it so favorably known? In the first place, if you are
going to grow fruit at all, you want to be sure of a good market.
The early market is always good; and other is risky, and gen
erally overstocked, making prices low.
Then there are many other features to be considered, when a
person settles in an irrigated district; two of the most important are
"the water supply" and "drainage." The Richland water supply is
taken out of the Yakima River, by gravity flow (no pumps to main
tain or break down at a time that you must have water) under a
water right over 20 years old, is under Government supervision, and
allows one-fourth more water to the acre than any of the other proj
ects in the country.
We are located on a narrow peninsula between the Yakima and
Columbia Rivers, lying at an average elevation of 65 feet above their
level, with a gentle slope from the center to each river, have a vol
canic ash soil from Zy2 to 514 feet deep, with a gravel subsoil, which
all insures the best, of both air and water drainage.
These two points combined with the elevation of only 362 feet,
distance of 55 miles from the closest mountain range and 300 miles
from the coast, an average rainfall of less than iy2 inches, no snow,
mud or slush, and over 300 days of sunshine, make the Richland Val

home that could be found.

EAST SIDE QUITS FIGHT
AVill Make No Further Erfort to Get
New Courthouse.
East Side residents have abandoned
their efforts to have the Multnomah
County Courthouse removed to their
side of the river. Neither will they
offer further opposition to the proposed
rebuilding of the structure on its pres
ent site. The withdrawal of this op
position, which would have resulted In
litigation, will enable the members of
the County Court to perfect their plans
for a new and modern Courthouse
building.
Agitation for the removal of the
Courthouse across the river was started
several weeks ago. The East Siders
felt, since they had a greater popula
tion than the "West Side, they were en
titled to some of the public buildings.
Accordingly, petitions were prepared
urging the County. Court to defer all
proceedings connected with building a
new Courthouse until the people had an
opportunity to" decide by ballot the side
of the river on which the new building
should be located. These petitions
were circulated generally on the East
Side, and several hundred signatures
were obtained.
Little attention was paid by the
members of the County Court to this
proceeding on the part of the East Sid
ers. and for some reason the movement
has died out altogether. In the mean
time the County Court has received
bids for furnishing steel for the new
building, and is preparing to proceed
with other Idetails Incident to erecting
a. new Beat or county government. At
