"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

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. In disregard of his
marital tows and obllsatlons. and
without cause or provocation, wilfully.
and without ths consent or connivance
of the plaintiff, abandoned and desert
ed her."
The complaint was drawn by Attor
ney John F. Lofran, and It M unaer
stood that no resistance will be made
by Mr. Reed. Their domestic differ
ences will not occasion any wide sur
prise, as It has been generally known
for several years that fhelr domestic
horizon has not been clear or ciouas.
Both parties are In this city.

married at San Francisco September 14.
IMS. and that they have resided In

glvf n a decree of absolute divorce, and
tht the court award her an undivided
one-third Interest In certain property
oned by Mr. Reed In Klamath, Wasco
qnd Josephine Counties.
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.

f MOT 'so old." but still older than
I 1 General B. S. 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."

Mr. Numano refers to the demonstra

of Japan's sincere friendliness toward

America, coupled with this traditional
good-will existing between these two
nations, will tend to swell the trade
