plied to the Municipal Court on Thursday

from escorting Mrs. Stitt to theaters,
made a second appeal to the law yes
terday, this time for a divorce. While
the dove of peace seemed to have perched
over the Stitt doorway following the Po
lice Court proceedings, the head of the
family must have reconsidered his grant
of forgiveness of Thursday.
The petition for a divorce was filed with
the State Circuit Court yesterday fore
noon. Stitt sets out in his complaint that
his wife has taken to visiting shows on
an average of four times a week and that
she Is neglectful of household duties.

custody Stitt asks.

SURVEYS IN GOLD BELT
Senator Bourne Will Urge Govern
ment to Continue Investigations.
Prominent citizens of Oregon, notably
Governor Chamberlain, Mayor Harry
Lane, W. M. Ladd. F. M. Batchelor, R.
W. Hoyt and others Interested in the de
velopment of Oregon's mining resources,
have requested that the United States
Government continue Its investigations, so
well begun by Profensor Lindgren, of the
United States Geological Survey. It has
been said that these investigations are
to be completed at an early date, for as
Professor Lindgren says in his prelimin
ary report: "Four months is a short time
to examine such an extensive territory,
such a wealth of mineral deposits. . . .
This report is only preliminary, recon-
nuisance work. ... It has not been possi
ble to visit an tne mines and prospects."
The following letter Just received by F.
M. Batchelor indicates that the much
desired report, which will do a great deal
toward? establishing Oregon In her right
ful place among the richest gold produc
ing states, will in tho near future be
perfected:

ELK HERD IS CUT DOWN
Open Season Proves Disastrous to
Antlered Herd In Blue Mountains.
GRANITE, Or., Oct. 19. (Special.) The
ripen season for hunting elk,- which has
Just closed, has proved quite successrui
from the sportsman's point of view, but
has been equally disastrous to the elk.
For a number of years 30 elk have been
ranging on the headwaters of the Orand
Ronde and North Fork of the John Day
River, and with the opening of the elk
season hunters flocked to that locality,
each equipped to get the portion allowed
to him by law. At least 10 of the animals
are known to have been killed during the
season. And the others have been scat
tered over the mountains . till scarcely
any trace can be found of them.

Harriman Hurries His Survey

OLD TACTICS FOLLOWED
Party Leaving Shaniko in Automo

Hold Strategic Points Against
the Rival Railroad.
Equipped with automobiles for crossing
the stretch of Interior Oregon from
Shaniko to Klamath Falls, a party of en
gineers and surveyors, carrying Held in
struments and camping outfits, were
hustled away on a special train from
Portland last night over the O. R. & N.
by General Manager O'Brien. Their orders
are to cross the state ' from north to
south, with the supposed purpose of
spying out the strategic points and hold
ing them against the Oregon Trunk Line,
the independent railroad that announces
Its intention to build up te Deschutes

after tracking the man for several miles,

and to Detective Vaughn's surprise, the
man was hiding among the branches.
object of the trip seems to be to run
counter to the Oregon Trunk, the only
railroad that now threatens to enter the
Harriman preserves, as Central Oregon
has come to be known. The Harriman
people contested the right of the Oregon
Trunk to build a railroad up the Des
chutes canyon from the mouth of that
river 100 miles to the big level plain of
Central Oregon. Danger threatened the
Harriman interests wtien the - Oregon
Trunk entered the Deschutes canyon and
the legal department was put in motion
to head off the threatened invasion. This
failed, for the Oregon Trunk is now pos
sessed of rights as far up the Deschutes
as the mouth of White riven a distance
of 45 mile9.
Lest the Oregon Trunk continue its tri
umphant progress through the Btate,
ilans for which are under way, the Harrl-
, lan people apparently feel it necessary to
I ?tay the procession as soon as possible,
This is doubtless the object of the expedi
tion Just sent into the Interior.
From Desciiutes the party will travel
by automobile to Madras and Bend,
and engineers will gro over the Upper
Deschutes Valley, seeking the most
practical route for a railroad and point
ing out the only .feasible line for the
purpose. That these strategic points
will be secured by the Harriman in
terests and that these engineers will
be busy In the interior for some time
is taken for granted.

His Cigar Doesn't
Taste Right
And Yet It Is the Same He Was
Smoking With So Much Relish
After Dinner, Last Night; Out
of the Very Same Box, Too.
IT ISN'T THE CIliAK ITS THE STOMACH
Every smoker has experienced this
peculiar condition of the stomach and
liver, the result usually of imperfect
digestion of food. And the blame is
usually put on the cigar and not where
It belongs.
Such men are usually high livers,
hard workers mentally, living under
high pressure and high draught, and it
doesn't take a great deal to disorder
the stomach or render the liver torpid.
They should make It a practice to
use some tried and reliable remedy like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, that will
aid Nature and not force It and will
take care of the sudden attacks of
acute indigestion.
Tlte use of these tablets is not to be
confounded with the patent medicine
habit. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
not a patent medicine, but are com
posed of the vary elements which na
ture - provides the healthy stomach to
do the work of digestion pepsin,
diastase, golden seal, etc. There Is no
secret In their preparation they are
absolutely pure and therefore all the
world UBes them. ' 1
No matter how disordered the stom
ach may be, it will right itself if given
the chance. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest food where the stomach can't,
give the abused stomach and Intes
tines a rest, and offer renewed strength
to the worn out glands and muscles.
Brain workers can rely on Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, no matter how tense
the strain. AH druggists carry them
in the fifty cent packages,' or if you
prefer a free trial package can be had
by sending your name and1 address to

self, in view ofthe condition of the
money market, the Oregon managers
apparently have carte blanche when it
comes to blocking other projects into
that territory. This has been dem
onstrated any number of times.
The danger that 'the Oregon Trunk
may become a Hill line at any time
lends inducement to the Harriman'
people to forestall the only live oppo
sition project that openly plans to in
vade Oregon from the north, east or
west.
