SEATTLE, 'Wash.. Dec. 22. (Special.)
The fact that her husband. Christian
Krederlcksen, has not taken a bath for
three years, enabled Mary Fredericksen to
get a decree of divorce. Today Judge
Prater declared that any wife was en
titled to a divorce from a husband who
had such an antipathy for water that he
went without a bath for three years.
A witness who had visited the couple
In their home declared that the hus
band's appearance corroborated the alle
gation of failure to bathe. Mr. and Mrs.
Fredericksen were married In Norway
in ltsbi. The wife told of her husband
heating her and throwing a bottle of am
monia at her.
The woman in telling her story dropped
the remark that three years had elapsed
since her spouse had bathed. Judge

' Pacific Islet Has Disappeared.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 22. The Oce

riving here yesterday from Tahiti,
brought news of the change in the topog
raphy of the Pomotus group. The lit
tle atoll namt-d liikueru, located in the
Croup, has disappeared, and scientists
are wondering what brought about the
sudden effaeement of the island. A short
time before the atoll was found to bo
gone a hurricane swept over that portion
of the Pomotus. but even if there hud
been a tidal wave It is not likely the
Island would have been swept nway. The
supposition is that there has been a se
vere earthquake which caused the atoll
to sink. The island Hikueru was not In
habited, and there was no vegetation on
the coral reef that emlrcled- the lagoon.
It was known principally for pearl, fish

SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 22. (Special.)
The Alaska Steamship Association, or
ganized several years ago to maintain
freight schedules on the run to Southeast
era Alaska, is no more. The Pacilic Coast
Steamship Company has withdrawn from
the organization. The reported investiga
tion of the grand Jury at Juneau and the
fact that the association might be re
garded as a trust by Government ofllcers
resulted in the dissolution of the com
bination. Next year there is a strong possibility
of a rate war in the freight business be
tween Seattle and Skagway. The Alaska
company has entered into a traffic ar
rangement with the Alaska Pacilic Steam
ship Company, the corporation of which
Captain Salne is presidsit and which
operates the only line of 'passenger boats

The Humboldt Steamship Company has

but It is understood that no contract has
so far been signed for the coming season.
The Humboldt may run independent. The
Pacific Coast Steamship Company has
served notice of Its withdrawal from the
association and it is likely that each com
pany will issue separate tariffs in Janu
ary. It is the opinion at Washington that
the Sherman anti-trust law applies to
Alaska, and for that reason the Alaska
Steamship Company could no doubt be
reached if it could be shown to be a
member of a combination in restraint
of trade.

DAIRYING IN WASHINGTON.
State Commissioner Makes His Bien
nial Report on Industry.
OLYM PI A, AVash.. Dec. 22. (Special.)
Approximately $5,000,000 whs the
value of tiiH dairy products in this
s-tate, aside from straight milk sales,
according to the biennial report of L.
Davies, State Dairy and Food Commis
sioner. This report does not include
output from 1"5 creameries for 1 9 atJ
not yet received by the Commissioner.
Butter manufactured in the state the
year ending November 1, 1905, aggre
gated nearly 8,000.000 pounds, an in
crease of about 400,000 pounds over the
previous year. Of this, 1.735,000 was
manufactured east of the Cascades, the
re-nainder on the West Side. For the
year ending November 1, 1906, the state
output of butter reported was 7,479,000
pounds, of which 1,934,000 pounds was
from the East Side. Mr. Davies says
tho 155 creameries yet lo' report this
yrnr would probably swell the total for
the year to' 1, 500, 0.10 pounds..
King County leads in butter produc
tion, with about 1,5"00,000 pounds a
year, although that county ranks low
in the number of cows, having but
3321. Pierce County, with 4268 cows,
produces in the creameries about 400,
000 pounds of butter annually. Sno
homish lends in the number of dairy
cattle, with 8026 cows in 1905, but a
production of butter of but about 9J0,
000 pounds. Of course, many of the
cows near the centers of population
are used almost exclusively to supply
the milk routes and little of their prod
uct reaches the creameries.
In 1905, with 61.282 cows in the
whole state, 241 creameries reported
plants valued at $281,591, and a butter
output, of nearly 8,000,000 pounds, val
ued at $1,946,982. .
In 1906 the 33 creameries that re
ported covered the product of 45,433
cows, aggregating, 7. 479. .100 pounds of
butter, valued at $1,969,030.
Spokane County leads In cheese pro
duction, with 120,428 pounds in 1905,
out of a- total state production of
547,000 pounds, -arid with 114,802 pounds
this year out of a .total reported of
382,000 pounds.
Condensed milk shows a considerable
increase. The output in 1905 was val
ued at $442,088, and this year at $532,
587. In the two years condensed milk
valued at about $800,000, was shipped
foreign from Puget Sound, and about
$600,000 worth to Alaska, State cream -eris
are getting a good proportion of
this trade, the report says,

W. Finnell, of Walla Walla, is another

building. Mr. Finnell Is a contractor and
was awarded the contract for plastering
the large double store concrete building
now being erected on the lots adjoining
his property. . -
The Portland & Seattle Company hav
ing completed Its grade for a double
track from Kennewlck through Hover.
Is. about to lay the rails between these
two towns. They would have been laid
some time ago had it not been for the
disastrous floods in the upper Yakima
Valley, necessitating he removal of ma
terial intended for this line to the points
on the Northern Pacific where the dam
age had been done. It Is expected, how
ever, that the steel will be laid immedi
ately. The . new steamer Yakima recently
made her maiden trip. She is a fine boat
of a hundred tons capacity, trim and
well-built. The rapid development of the
Columbia River early fruit belt demands
a corresponding Increase in facilities for
river transportation between Kennewlck
and Celilo. at which point freight is re
ceived from and transferred to boats
running to Portland. New boats are be
ing constantly added to the fleet, and
there will be seven or more steamers

BAK.EK COrXTY SCENE OF RE
XEWED ACTIVITY.
Influx of Eastern Capital and Itull
road Building Is Followed by
Much Development AVork.
BAKER CITY. Or., Dec. 22. (Special;)
Manifestations of an activity in the Snake
River country and In the Baker County
copper fields, lying to the Northcaat.of
the city, are more noticeable every day.
That the copper properties In this county
on their showings mean much to this city
iso man who Is "familiar with the situa
tion here can doubt. . The Incorporation of
four new concerns during the month just
closed for the purpose of exploiting the
copper deposits indicates the interest that
Is being taken in the mines.
Mining men for years have looked for
great things from Baker's copper field.
The properties have not been developed
because the men behind them have lacked
the funds necessary to make mines out
of prospects. Last Summer, however,
when the Pittsburgh capitalists, Conrad
& Curtze, purchased the Iron Dyke prop
erties at Homestead, on the Snake river,
there came men with money into the
field. v
When they" found thevaluable ore that
Is contained In this property in the Seven
Devil3 region, the owners determined to
build a railroad to ship their product,
and have contracted with the O. R. & N.
to build a line down the Snake to Hunt
ington, a venture that is assured.
But the realization of the dreams of
copper wealth in Baker County came
when the news of the recent strike at the
Indiana mine was made public. The In
diana Is Northeast of Baker on the same
belt with the Jprth American at Burke
mont, and other well-known properties
here. Here, after spending years In de
velopment, the owners at last have struck
a vein of ore running ?50 to the ton In
copper, with gold and silver. The fact
that there Is 40 feet of this ore marks
the mine as one of the biggest things in
the country.
Between the Indiana - and the Seven
Devils, on Goose. Creek, James A. How
ard, the Sumpter banker and mining man,
and Keneth McEwen have located fine
copper properties and will develop them.
Meantime they have organized and in
corporated the Sovereign Mining Com
pany, articles of incorporation for which
have been filed.- The capitalization 13
$2,000,000.
The principal camp In the Irondyke, or
6ayen Devils region Is Homestead, a
booming little mining town on .the Snake.
Here Art Harris, the former Baker hotel
man, la expecting to establish a ferry,
and, with his associates, has organized
the Homestead Investment Company,
which is incorporated for J20.000. They
have provided in their charter to do a
ferry, mining, merchandising, smelting,
hotel and land business and to develop
power propositions.
J. K. Romig, one of the shrewdest pro
moters ln the Baker Held, is the man
behind the Snake .River Land Company,
articles of Incorporation for which have
just been filed. The company provides in
its charter that it may own and deal in
lands, own and equip power propositions,
and build railroads, among several other
things that are of minor Importance in
that connection. Mr. Romig refused to
discuss the company's plans.
J. H. Altken, the Huntington banker,
with R. W. Frame and John P. Hanrton.
is convinced that the Curtze-Conrad road
is going down the Snake, and that Hunt
ington will be the site of a smelter to
be erected to handle the copper ores from
the Seven Devils region. They are only
a few of the Huntington people who see a
growth for their town in the road, but
they have organized tho Huntington Real
Estate Company, which has .filed articles
of Incorporation within the past week to
deal In real estate, acquire franchises,
develop water, gas, electric power plants
and otherwise upbuild th locality.

Hood Klvcr Growers Get (.Advance
Over Last Year,
i
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Dec. 22. (Special.)
Figures given out by the management
of the Union today show that the high
est price obtained for apples here this
year was 53.15 a box, which was obtained
for Spltzenbergs, and the lowest $1.49.
These prices are far in excess of what
they were last year, when it was thought
the top notch had been reached, and of
iicers of the- union say that when the
shipments are completed and the average
made they will show a very large in
crease over last year.
During the past month Hood River has
outstripped all Its rivals on the Oregon
Railroad and Northern as a shipping
point, Spokane alone excepted. Over 400
cars of freight were shipped out of the
apple town. The many cars of apples
that were shipped from here during the
month of November helped to make the
business so large. Heretofore Hood
River has been tho second largest ship
ping point along the line, Baker City

TO CURB COUNCILS.
Franchises Must Have Popular Af-
firmatlon at the Polls.
PORTLAND. Dec. 22. (To the Editor.) In
the past the City Councils have granted, aome
franchises that were anything but profitable
to the city. How It was with the members
of those various Councils, deponent knows not.
Now, the citizens of Portland have long
grown weary of thia continual "exercise of
toad Judgment" on the part of councllmen, and
something Is going to he done about It one
of these days that will bring sorrow to fran
chise grafters, on both sides of the bargain
counter. The people of this city can remedy
any form of graft or any abuse, whenever
they have the "sand" and sense to stop It.
The power of the initiative enables them
to amend the charter, and the writer
understands that ateps are being taken to sub
mit one or more amendments to that cumber-;
some document that will take out of the hands
of the Council the power to grant franchises
or extensions of franchises without popular
affirmation at the polls.
It appears that the Council can avoid sub
mitting any amendments or referendums de
manded by the petition of the required 15 per
cent, by almply falling to meet within a re
quired time. Hut if this subterfuge la re
sorted to once or twice more. It will be done
away with by a state law. If necessary. Mil
lions of values have been given In franchises
In the past to men who now grind the faces
of their employe and care nothing for the
welfare of the public, so that their imperial
dignity Is preserved intact. The sullen oppo
sition of the people to the traction combine
arisca largely because it is realized that the
city hasbeen looted by a gang of home and
outside freebooters.-
Owing to Portland being far in advance of
every other large cHy on the Pacific Coast,
and Oregon being far In the lead of every
state of the Union In the matter of actual
rule by the people, something definite Is sure
to result from this sense of Injustice perpe
trated in. the past upon a helpless community.
The law Is In the hands of the people.

Into contact -with an apparatus, fixed to
the track, which Is worked from the signal-box,
and sets in motion a form of
mechanism on tho engine. Instead of the
engineer having to look out for his sig
nals, they declare themselves to his ear
unmistakably. "Line clear" is expressed
by the blowing of a whistle, which con
tinues until the engineer with his own
hand turns It oft.
Both bell and whistle are fixed Inside
the engine cab, close by the engineer as
he stands to his lever, and should afford
a more telling means of notification than
a dial on which signs appear. The sub
stitution of audible for visible signals
would relieve engineers of the strain of
perpetually looking out for any particular
signal or lamp.
The apparatus is so constructed that If
anything went wrong anywhere the whis

of the audlblo signals would be found in
foggy weather, and the new system Is,
therefore, of particular Importance In a

viding the evaporator supply from the
cider-mill apples has added unheard of
profits to certain orchard sections. This
year Northwestern New York, Including
the Monroe and Orleans County sections,
where farmers have long practiced the
more cartful methods of fruit selection,
realized from 25 to 40 cents a hundred
for lower grades of apples for which
Northwestern Pennsylvania, with Its old
fashioned and wasteful treatment of Its
orchard products, received only 10 cents
a hundred. As a striking example of the
two methods of fruit-raising and fruit
handling, these two equally fertile re
gions supply object-lessons. To the better
and up-to-date methods the rewards of
agriculture surely go In this country in
Increasing abundance.
