"Well-Known Portland Singer Wants Custody of Minor Son and One Third Interest In Has--band' Property. Mm. Bon Coursen Reed, the well known soprano, brought action for dl vores againit Walter Reed yesterday forenoon. The complaint was drawn In Portland, but was taken to Oregon City for flllna. There It was presented to the Circuit Court of -Clackamas County. Desertion Is made the basts of the complaint. No other ground is set out. The complaint simply recites that "on or about the loth day of May. 1907. the defendant.

PIPE LINE SURVEY MADE CREW AT WORK OX ROUTE TO BILL KC.V. Xew Conduit Will Follow More Di rect Course Than- Present One, According to Report. GRBSHAM. Or.. Nov. 7. (Special.) A surveying crew has been at work for the past three days making a preliminary survey of a new route for the proposed new pipeline to be laid from Bull Run to Portland. The present line does not fol low the most direct route, and disfigures several cf the best blocks In Oresham. It Is the Intention to shorten the line be tween the ten-mile post of the Section I.ine road and ths Lusted achoolhouse. a distance of about eight miles, and maka It conform to a more natural level. When the present pipeline was laid it was thought necessary to- run It over Grant Butte, so as to check the force or the water before it reached the Teser volrs at Mount Tabor. This was found to be a mistake, and the new line will be laid more nearly on a level and more direct. The new. survey goes north of Gresham and will not disfigure city prop erty, as no buildings are allowed to be built on the 0-foot right of way. It Is the Intention, aleo. to avoid cer tain places where the present pipe has shown so many leaks during the past two years. What was at first thought to be the effects of electricity la now conceded to be a quality of the ground, and if such places cannot be avoided, the Water Board will probably build through them a pipe of reinforced concrete. It la said that when the new pipe Is put down the present right of way for the distance mentioned will be abandoned en tirely and a double line will be built en tirely over the new route. In that event the old pipe will be taken up for about eight miles and the sound portions used In the new work.

Simpson, who Is be lieved to be the oldest voter In the state." said J. W. Talnter, of, 410 Ore gon street, yesterday. "I'm 94 and General Slmnson is only SO by his own confession. ' I walked out to the polls on election day Just as ho did. and I voted my ticket j Just aa he voted his. What are we quar i rvltng about? We don't quarrel. Old men never do. except over the mistakes of you young men. Ha! Ha: , Mr. Talnter looked aa pleasant and aa happy as a boy who had cast his first : vote, when he was comfortably seated , at his home at 410 East Oregon street, last night. He was reading The uregonian when a reporter called. "How do you young fellows make such mistakes?" he asked when the aubject of the visit was announced. "We never made such mistakes In ages when I was a boy. Tou didn't know that I was older than General EMmpaon? Well, that Isn't so strange. The city is populous now and we rac't tell the ages of our neighbors as we used to do in the early days. "Times have changed. I have retired from farming and am living In the city. I'm 4 and still traveling around the city on foot when I care to take a walk from my horn, and I am able to walk a dis tance or two or three miles any time. I hope to be able to vote for the next Presidential candidate, but the election Is four years off, and that Is a long time." ARTICLE BY MR.

Mr. Numano refers to the demonstra tions by Japanese at the recent visit of the battleship fleet as an evidence of Japan's sincere friendliness toward this country.
