PASTORS LIABLE
TO HEAVY F
IN
Rev. Philip K. Hammond, for
Example, Might Be As
sessed $25,250.
HE HAS MANY COMPANIONS
Failure to Return Marriage Certifi
cates Has Made ETen Justice of
Peace Reid and Judge Cam
' eron Lawbreakers.
Under these sections of the. laws of
Oregon, Rev. Philip Kemp Hammond, rec
tor of 6t. Paul's Church, is liable to a
penalty of J25.250 in one case if the statute
ehould be enforced by District Attorney
Manning. The records in the County
Clerk's office show that on October 11,
1899, he united In the holy bonds of wed
lock Claude Rabyor and Annie Wilson,
and the marriage certificate was not filed
in the office of the County Clerk until
October 18, 1906, a period of seven years.
The records further show that the same
clergyman married Frank B. Willis and
Minnie S. Shepherd on August 22, 1905,
and returned the marriage certificate to
County Clerk Fields August 18. 1906, mak
ing 11 months' delinquency and entailing
a maximum penalty of about f33SO, or a
total penalty of $28,600. If the minimum
penalty should be demanded the total
would only amount to one-fifth of this
sum, or $5720.
Many Delinquent Pastors.
- Dr. Hammond is not alone among the
list of those subject to penalty for fail
ure to return marriage certificates within
the time provided by law. The list of
delinquents reveals Rev. A. Kramer, a
pastor of the Lutheran Church; Rev. S. C.
Iv.pham, pastor of the Second Baptist
Church; Rev. W. Luessenshop, a Luther
an minister; Rabbis T. Medvedofsky and
J. Shapo; Rev. J. Bowersox; Rev. George
F. Thompson, of the Catholic Church;
Father Cestelli; Justice William Reid,
Municipal Judge Cameron, ex-Judge M.
C. George, ex-Justice Waldemar Seton
and others.
For minor violations of the law such
as a period of two weeks or a month
now and then, many clergymen could be
called to account. A considerable num
ber no doubt are not familiar with the
law, and do not know that the marriage
certificate must be returned to the Coun
ty Clerk within one month. A search of
the record for years back discloses that
many marriage certificates have not been
returned at all. County Clerk Fields has
sought to obviate this by taking the ad
dresses of persons who obtain marriage
licenses. This is the only course, because
the clerk has no means of knowing to
whom persons will go to be married.
When the certificate is not returned,
Mr. Fields writes to the man for whom
It was Issued, requesting that he go to
the officiating clergyman or Judge and
have the certificate mailed or otherwise
delivered.
Might Cost Reid $10,000.
Justice William Reid, on account of
waiting until he had accumulated mar
riage certificates and sending them all in
a bunch, is a large delinquent. He mar
ried George H. Lashbaugh and Annie M.
Calkins on February 16, 1905, and returned
the certificate July 3, 1906. He also re
turned a certificate on July 3, 1906, for the
marriage of Constant Barcard and Louisa
L. Aufrey, which occurred on February
29, 1906. The certificate for the marriage
of Robert Chase and Clara L. Ford, per
formed by Justice Reid on February 23,
1905, was only returned on July 3, 1906.
Justice Reid returned the marriage cer
tificate for Harry McGraw and Rena L.
Imel, performed on March 3, 1905, on July
3, 1906. He was also behind on two other
marriage certificates, and the total penal
ties against him would foot up about $10,
000. Ex-Judga M. C. George Is a light of
fender. He married John H. Sherwood
and Marian Cullison on March 14, 1905,
and did not return the certificate until
July 20 the extreme penalty would only
be about $900.
Frank L. Greenwood and ,Mary L.
Mitchell were united in marriage by Rev.
J. F. Ghormley, March 24, 1900, and the
marriage certificate was filed July 14,
1906, which makes Dr. Ghormley subject
to a maximum .penalty of about $22,500.
. Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher, of the
White Temple, Is indebted to the state,
should the penalty be enforced, about $900
for failure to return the certificate of
the marriage of C. S. Russell and Lillian
Varwig, performed in March last, until
two months past the time specified by
law.
. Only $1500 for Dr. Morrison.
' Rev. A. A. Morrison neglected to return
the certificate of the marriage of R.
Thompson and Kitty Miller, performed
February 23, 1906. until June 14 last. He
was also two months behind with another
license, making altogether a five months'
delinquency, and the amount of penalty
calculated at the maximum is about $1500.
Rev. A. Kraemer, of the Lutheran
Church, married M. I. Clauss and Cath
erine Schnerder on December 18, 1905, and
sent the marriage certificate to the Coun
ty Clerk July 13, 190G; penalty about $1S00.
Rev. fi. C. Lapham married Walter Mc
Kinney and Lillie E. Rivers, February 15,
1906, and returned the marriage certificate
on June 28 following. The same minister
married David R. Wood and Edith C. El
liott on February 17, 1906, and sent the
marriage certificates to County Clerk
Fields on July 21 last. The full penalty
In his ease would be about $2100.
Rev. J. Bowersox married Ernest C. Lu
ger and Rebecca M. Cahlll, of Yamhill
County, on October 5, 1905, and returned
the marriage certificate on June 6, 1906.
On November 7, 1904, Rev. J. Bowersox
married John W. Raynard, of Washington
County, and Grace H. Crabtree, land re
turned the marriage certificate June 6,
1906. The payment of a maximum penalty
of about $7500 would square Mr. Bowersox
with the county, or. If let off with the
minimum penalty. $1500 would do.
Father Alex Cestelli, of the Italian
church, returned the certificate of the
marriage of T. Porco and Richetto Greco
on June 12, 1906. The ceremony was per
formed April 13, making the certificate one
month behind. He united in marriage An
drew Rossi and Pelgglo Plccardo on No
vember 23, 1905. and returned the certifi
cate June 12. 1906. Father Cestelli is sev
en months behind with these two certifi
cates, for which the minimum penalty Is
$60 a month and the maximum penalty $300
a month.
Ex-Justice Waldemar Seton several days
ago returned a certificate for the marriage
of Clyde Mauldlng and Maria R. Jamison,
which he performed July 14, 1905.- The
penalty for a year is $2100.
Municipal Judge Cameron will also no
doubt pay a fine of $2700 for neglecting to
return until August 6 last the certificate
of the marriage of John Hunt and Luctle
Morris, performed by him on October
J. 1906.
Rev. George F. Thompson, of the Catho
lic Cathedral, married James D. Hen
nessy and Mary E. O'Neil on October 7,
I90B. and returned the certificate July 7,
1906. or seven months later.

tlflcate of the marriage of John Fordney
and Zella Hyde, performed October 8, 1905.
The total fine for nine months' delin
quency would be $2700, and the lowest
penalty about $550.
Rabbi Medvedofsky Late.
Rabbi I. Medvedofsky was neglectful for
nine months in sending to the County
Clerk the certificate for the marriage of
Hyman B." Nudelman and Rose Ross. The
marriage was solemnized October 27, 1905,
and the certificate was filed August 22,
1906. Maximum penalty, $2700; lowest pen
alty, $550.
Abe Rykus and Rose Levltch were uni
ted in marriage by Rabbi T. Shapo on
November 24, 1905, and on July 28, 1906,
Rabbi Shapo sent the certificate to County
Clerk Fields. If a full penalty were im
posed for six months' neglect, it would fig
ure up over $1800.
Recording of the marriage certificate Is
Important because it is the only legal
record of the marriage. It shows when
the marriage was solemnized, where, by
whom and contains the signatures of the
two witnesses. The record showing that
a marriage license was Issued does not
prove that the marriage occurred; merely
that it was authorized. The license may
never have been used. The certificate Is
the only real record.
Marriages Still Missing.
At the last checking-up made by the
County Clerk, certificates of the following
marriages were still missing:
July 17, 1905, Louis Harris and Nahoma
Granlsh.
July 28, 1905. John R. Llles and Edith
Knapp.
September 1. 1905, H. C. McDonald and
Melvlna Barrett.
January 5, 1905, George A. Stadley and
Lena M. Roddle.
January 8, 1905, Sam Spencer and Irene
Mayfield.
When the checking was done, it was
found that about 50 certificates had not
been returned, which have ince come to
light. Some time later the Clerk will
check up the records again to discover de
linquents. In years gone by, under a
careless system, many marriage certiflr
cates were never returned at all.

In presenting to the public the offerings of a firm, the advertising man when he offers
goods at less than regular prices, advances some real or imaginary reason why he is cutting
prices. As a rule it is a fire sale, removal sale, alteration sale, etc. ,etc, in fact any old sale
will do as long as a plausible reason is offered. Our reason for making the prices we adver
tise is simply this : We want you to get acquainted with us to know what it means to find
"A GOOD PLACE TO TRADE. We know that if we can induce you to respond to our
advertisements ,that you will get the habit of coming again. Our advertised articles are
always as represented, and like our regular stock, are the best in the market. If you are
looking for anything in the house-furnishing line, you will find our regular prices as low or
lower than those of the many alleged sales continually going on. Come in and look around.
Compare prices and values ; we are only too glad to show you through, and you will always
receive courteous treatment, whether you wish to buy or not.

RETROSPECTIVE
fft Sixteen years ago this institution opened in a very modest way
" down in Third Street. One of its principal assets was faith in
humanity. While most people are not well-to-do, the majority are
honest. The knowing ones predicted utter failure for the little store
because it sold the same goods on easy payments at the same prices
other stores sold for cash. But each ' successive season found busi
ness increasing people were learning of the little store's methods,
and every customer was a walking-talking advertisement. Finally
the little store outgrew its modest birthplace and moved up in Wash
ington Street where new lines were added and the store expanded
until there was no further room. Again it had to moveand when the
doors of this institution swing open Tuesday morning it will open to
the world one of the finest mercantile establishments in this country.
It is a monument to modern merchandising methods a store for the
people who have, by their generous patronage, helped to build it.
The reputation which this store has won as sellers of the best merch
andise will be maintained. The future promises many improvements
broader and more comprehensive stocks and methods. But this
expansion shall in no way diminish the bonds of confidence now ex
isting between this store and its customers a bond formed by
mutual honest dealing.
