WIFE CRUEL, SHE HATED HIGH BALLS Rich Ohio Railroad Man's Pe culiar Complaint Heard in Idaho. WOMAN FIGHTS FOR RIGHTS Valentine Winters, After 1 7 Years of Married Life, Seeks Divorce Be cause Spouse Found Fault When "in Society." BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 2. Special.) Alleg ing: all tnrouKh the trial that his -wife had been cruel to him. in that she inter rupted him while drinking: highballs; that since their separation he had given her J31.000 for the education, support and maintenance of .their two children, and with hie wife pleading for the return of her husband and his love, fighting di vorce in all its steps on religious princi ples, the case of Valentine Winters, mil lionaire Dayton, Ohio, railroad magnate, will be decided by Judge Fremont Wood here, probably this" week. The trial has been'one of the most sen sational and interesting divorce suits ever fought in an Idaho court by a member of the elite of the East, the so-called "Pour Hundred." at least of the Ohio town, where Mr. Winters is president of the Dayton & Western Traction Company and heavily Interested in other business en terprises. Couple Separated Four Years. Mr. Winters and his wife, Helen Clagg Winters, effected a separation in 1906 and wince that time Mr. Winters has been traveling from- place to place, seeking an abode where he might secure an absolute divorce. He first tried the Texas courts, but there he was denied a divorce. He came to Idaho and purchased a bungalow, hired a trained housekeeper, and cook and established himself here, leading a typical bachelor's life during his required residence of six months in this state be fore suit could be brought for divorce. . Winters, and his wife are widely sep arated so far as a reunion is concerned, while their two children are destined to be the cause of straining the situation on the issue of their guardianship. Valentine Winters left his wife and val uable J70.009 residence in Dayton a few years ago, after they had lived together for 17 years. He declared that his better half was continually nagging and fault finding, so that life was made miserable. Wife Objects to Pretty Stenographer. Mrs. Winters declared the only trouble she had with her husband was 'over his pretty stenographer, Annabel Clayton, and that because she demanded that her husband dismiss the young woman from his services he became angry. As evi dence of this contention she e'xhiblted a letter Winters admits he wrote to the stenographer. In which he referred to dismissing her. using the endearing term that "the thought mad? his heart bleed." The husband declared his wife has ever taunted him with this missive. It was a big surprise to Winters when he found Mrs. Winters had decided to contest the suit, on religious principles, she declared, as she is an Episcopalian, and the hearing on the petition opened here early last month, continuing for two weeks. Some idea of the array of coun sel may be obtained from the fact that attorney fees were nied with the court amounting to $5000. Mrs. Winters attempted to effect a reconciliation with her husband, but in vain. Winters declared during the trial behind closed doors that when out to functions of various kinds Mrs. WMnters had deliberately Interrupted him while he was drinking highballs and in some instances had openly taunted him with being a drunkard, creating not a little consternation among friends. Winters Is Wealthy. As president of the Dayton & Western Traction Company, Winters is rich In his own right, and, when marrying, secured a great deal of property given to Mrs. Winters by her millionaire father. In petitioning for the divorce he declares he will not return to Dayton to make his home, but wHl remain in Idaho. It was the contention of Mrs. Winters that her husband has no cause to seek a divorce and that she has been kind and considerate to him at all times.

A movement recently set on foot in this city and among the farmers of Lane County, -having for its purpose more sanitary conditions In the dairy busi ness, as well as a more extensive de velopment of the dairy industry throughout the county, received impetus at a meeting of the promotion depart ment of the Commercial Club last night. The meeting was addressed by W. E. Wilmer. formerly of Denver, and Dr. B. M. Weller, a veterinarian, who came here a few months ago from JSew York. Serious lack of cleanliness and general Indifference to sanitary conditions In the dairies, not only in Lane County, but throughout the state, were so gen erally conceded that the necessity for" reform of these conditions has enlisted some of the leading farmers in this vicinity and many of the more public spirited business men of Eugene, and it is proposed to organize a stock com pany for the purpose of establishing a modern dairy. Present plans include' not only a good building, especially for the purpose, but modern dairy equipment and the Importation of blooded stock, as well as the employ ment of men of acknowledged ability in all branches of dairying. Facilities for dairying i this sec tion are regarded as second only to the lumber Industry. Yet this feature of Lane's natural resources ife untouched as compared with less favored sections in other states. The Commercial Club, at last night's meeting, indorsed the movement for better and cleaner dairies and general development of the industry. JURORS MUST BE BLIND PUBLISHED EVIDENCE TO EE IGNORED, SAYS COURT. Judge Wood Seeks to Prevent Press From Playing Any Part In Ex posure of Boise Trusts. BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 2. (Special.)

THE 3IOKXIXG OREGOXIAX,. .THURSDAY, FEBRUARY SURVEY IS ON FILE Boise & Western Applies for Malheur Right-of-Way. LAND BOUGHT WITH SCRIP Belief Prevails That Two Routes Are Planned Easy Access to Jferada Outlet Indicated, by Plans Outlined. BURNS. Or., Feb. 2. (Special.) The Boise & Western Railway Company has tiled its application for right of way over Government lands in the Jocal Lnited States Land Office, together with maps of its survey and location, so far as completed, along- the Malheur River to the east line of Harney County, and it is expected that another section of the survey, reaching through the Malheur Canyon and into Harney Valley will be filed In a few days. A g-ood portion of the way this sur vey follows closely the line of the Ore gon Eastern, which the new survey crosses at some points.' At several strategic points along- the route, the land through which the line passes has been purchased with Northern Pa cific scrip in the Interest "of the jadlse & Western, so the latter company will be the owner of valuabel lands along ,ulf- xnis, nowever, will not in terfere with the right o'f way of the Oregon Eastern (Harrlman), applica tion for which was filed before the land was scripped. Two Boads Planned? The officers of the Boise & Western are: Colonel C. E. S. Wood, president; James Mel. Wood, secretary. William Hanley, of Burns, C. W. Mallett and J. W. McCulloeh, of Ontario, and Drake c- ' O'Reilly, of Portland, are directors. The impression here is that the in tention of the interests behind the Boise & Western is to build two rail roads through this county from the point where the survey reaches the level of Harney Valley after emerging from Malheur Gap. At that point It will strike the lands of the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Company, represented by Colo nel Wood, and the belief is that one branch will be built through the prop erties of this company In a north westerly direction through this county and Crook, connecting with the Des chutes road. Southwest from the diverging- point lie the holdings of the Hanley-Corbett interests, and It Is ex pected the other 'branch will be built throug-h those properties and south westward toward San Francisco. Branch Taps Timber. The branch throug-h the Wag-on Road Company's lands would tap an. Important belt of timber in the north western part of Harney County and the western part of Crook, which would Supply ties and bridge timbers for con struction, making a considerable item in the interior, while the road up the Blitzen River through the Hanley-Corbett properties would open to farming a large belt of the richest land in Ore-g-on. Along the Blitzen River, too, there is plenty of opportunity for water power development, sufficient to furnish electricity for this section. Should this latter branch go south ward through the Wild Horse, Trout Creek, and Pueblo Valleys, It would pass through rich farming lands and between mountains of valuable min erals g-old and copper particularly and would then have an easy grade through Nevada. To get from the Blitzen Valley into Wild Horse, or even Into Catlow Valley, will" require skill ful engineering- and probably would call for a tunnel or two, but once built, such a road would be good from every standpoint. j ASHLAND KNOWS DOCTOR SAX JOSE'S WOUNDED MARQUIS BELIEVED SAME MAX.
