In granting a divorce to Romeo Le fevre, a hackman. from Marguerite Le fevrc yesterday, Jadgc Frazer announced that the evidence disclosed at the trial showed that neither of them was lit to be married, and if it were not for their child he would be Inclined to refuse a decree. Considering the welfare. of the child, he said, he had? concluded to grant a divorce to Lefevre. and would grant the custody of the child to his parents, with the un derstanding that they treat It as their own. The grand-parents are well-to-do. and have promised to rear the child well. The case was tried in December, and during the trial the little baby, 2 years old. played about the court-room, running from one parent to the other. Judge Frazer was. Inclined to deny Uie divorce, and advised Lefevre to fix up a Christmas tree for the baby and join In the holiday festival and make up. but Lefevre did not heed the advice, although ho provided gifts for the child. He has supported his wife during the divorce proceedings, and was ordered by the court to pay her attor ney, Charles F. Ixrd. $100 fees. Al R. Mendenhal! appeared as counsel for Lefevre.

DAN KAIN IS MANAGER Flies Libel Against Launch. Albert Crowe filed a libel unit in tii Federal Court yesterday for the sum of $55. alleged to be due for wharfage and material furnished the launch Fox. which Is owned by the Port of Portland. It Is alleged that the 553 is the remainder of a bill which was only partially settled. Starts Xorth to Outril in Vnltlcz Be cause He Says Portland Mer chants Arc Indifferent to Trade Opportunities. The Orogon-S-ashltna Mining Company is the name of a new company just organ ized by Dan Kaln, of Valdez. who has been spending the Winter in Portland. any town on the site of the present pros perous city, and is thoroughly familiar Kith the surrounding country in that lo cality. He has prospected in all direc tion?, and bears the distinction of being the discoverer of the famous copper belt In which the rich Havemeyer properties are located. The Sushltna district is about ISO miles distant from Valdez. but Is rich In gold, and the 3) or more claims which the new company owns will doubt less make an immense fortune when prop erly worked. As general manager of the concern. Mr. Kaln will exercise his good Judgment in the matter of working these claims, it being his Intention to Install an up-to-date hydraulic plant this season. He left yesterday for Seattle, and will tak the first boat Into Valdez and bejdn work at once Oregon. Men in Company. The members of the Oregon-Sushi tna .Company are all residents of Portland anu aiem. ami tne capital stock or 5IW. 0 has been paid In cash. There Is not a. share of stock for sale, and those who are In on the proposition are convinced that they have one of the best things in Alas ka. Mr. Kaln's sound judgment and his great success in the northern country have inspired his friends with confidence, and they are much elated over their pros pects. Dr. W. T. Williamson, of this city, is president of the company, and John A. Carson, an attorney of Salem, the vice-president. Lewis Lochmond is sec retary and John Rogers treasurer, both of these officers also being from Salem. Mr. Kaln left the city much disgusted that Portland citizens did not grasp the opportunity of controlling the big trade of Alaska. He outlined the conditions ex isting to several wholesalers and com mercial bodies while here. but. as he ex presses It. "They just sit around and wait." "The railroads which are building out of Valdez and Seward are bound to control all the Interior trade of Alaska," he said "and tho people of that section would be only too glad to buy from Portland If given the opportunity. Supplies are cheap er here than In Seattle, and the little dif ference In time between the two cities and our ports would amount to nothing. Fujly )..& came out of Alaska the past year, and 5H.W.W0 remained in Seattle. Portland could have all of that she want ed, but she evidently doesn't want any. Railroads to Open Country. "The railroads are being built to open up the phenomenally rich copper belts which already have a world-wide reputa tion. When this ore Is brought down to the coast by rail It is bound to come out on vessels to some port, and why shouldn't that port be this one? A smelter built here, on the peninsula, for example, would insure return cargoes of ore on every vcyael that went up with supplies, and h. regular and constantly Increasing trade would Immediately be established. "Another important matter is the set tlement of the litigation over the Bonanza copper Interests, which has excited such widespread Interest. The United States Supreme, Court settled the matter several days ago In favor of the original locators. This means the immediate development of these rich properties, for there is unlim ited capital behind the enterprise. This litigation has heretofore retarded the de velopment of that section, but now that It Is satisfactorily settled, great results may be expected. No part of Alaska is so rich In minerals as the Valdez district, and the next two years will work great changes there." Will Outfit in Valdez. When asked where he was going to out fit this season. Mr. Kaln replied: "Right In Valdez. I came out with the intention of buying all my supplies In Portland, but the general apathy here Is not encourag ing, to say the least, and the Seattle mer chants charge us retail prices. As Jong as I can do just as well in Valdez. I have determined to patronize home merchants until offered something better on the out side, and many other miners and corpora tions feci the same way."

TVIII Uirc So Much or the AVntcr as to Destroy Scenic Beauty. The American Civic Association ig making an active campaign against the wholesale destruction of Niagara Falls, one of the scenic beauties of America, by power-developing compa nies, which to the number of ten have now authority to utilize n54 per cent or 1,339.500 horse-power of the ef fective power of the falls. It is the judgment of engineers that these de velopments, if fully utilized, will de stroy the American falls, for the rea son that but 12 per cent of the avorage flow of Niagara passes over the 1060 feet of the American fall. Even if but half of the nower unthnpiri utilized tho American fall would dwin dle into a mere trickle of water, and the outlook Is alarming citizens inter ested in the great scenic wonders of America all over the country. Preservation or Niagara. The preservation of Niagara Falls can be accomplished only by the com bined action of the American and Can adian Governments. President Roose velt will make to Congress a strong recommendation in his annual mes sage, and has urged, both in the in terview above mentioned and in let ters, that facts, such as are above sub mitted, should be presented in connec tion with the remonstrances to the Congressmen, so that they may act promptly and decisively for the saving of Niagara. According to Charles M. Dow. presi dent of the Board of Comlssioners of the New York State Reservation at Niagara, the Treaty of Ghent, which fixed the boundary lines in the Niagara River, "devolves upon the two Gov ernments the moral dutv of protect ing it." The State of New York has Invested in the reservation at Niagara Falls about $2,500,000. Quoting Mr. Dow. 'Whatever impairs the value of Niagara Falls as a spectacle Impairs the value of that investment.' The ordinance of 1787 recognizes tho common Interest of all the states and territories in the Niagara River, for It recites that nil waters flowing into the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence Rivers ahd the carrying places be tween shall be held as public high ways forever free to the" people with out impost of duty. Earnest Appeal Sent Out. Mrs. Rose Hoyt, president" of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, has had addressed to her by the American Civic Association, of which she is a member, an earnest appeal to awaken local interest In the preservation of this great wonder, and a suggestion that the co-operation of the Senators and Congressmen from this state be enlisted. Mrs. Hoyt has written th? Oregon delegation on the subject ani received prompt replies promising all aid possible in legislation to the de sired end. The letter from the asso ciation, which will be of interest to all lovers of natural, beauties, follows: Dear Madaai We as!c your prompt and earnest co-operation, as a member of the American Civic Association. In the work that la being done to preserve Niagara Falls from destruction by the power companies. Presi dent Roosevelt declared himself most unmis takably on this subject to the officers of the association when they visited him November 11. He believes that, "as California haa given a sreat grove of big trees to the Nation, so New York should sire Niagara to the Nation; but If New York does not do so. then the American people must step In and preserve Niagara." The President has specifically permitted us to say that he will make a strong recom mendation on the preservation of Niagara In his forthcoming annual message to Congrew. "When asked what he could do to help, he said, earnestly-. "Get as many intelligent per sons and organisations as possible to write to their Senators and Congressmen, urging international action to save Niagara." We. aak you. therefore, as an Individual, to write at once t your two Senators and to your Congressman, asking each of them, to become interested In this matter. If possible; secure similar action on the part of your friends and neighbors, and also on the part of organisations of various kinds, Including your local business bodies. You will also materially help by asking the editors of your local papers to keep the salva tion of Niagara constantly before their read ers. A "cltpplnj sheet" will shortly bo sent you. making suggestions. Kindly send to this office copies of resolutions and newspaper articles cn the subject. Very truly yours.
