As we spread out 1n the dark streets we heard Smith say " " 'Get every big buck nigger you can lay hands on and bring him up to qusrters "I laid violent hands on three and , drove; them into the corral by the quar " termister'a shack. The other fellows . . did about as well and when we started out next morning we traveled light, for there were about BOO bucks strapped up with packs that weighed about 100 pounds each. Smith made a lltle speech to the bunch before we started out: " Tou were too lazy to work for twice : what you were worth and you were too mean to help out your frlenda. Next 'time you had better take a Job when : you have the' chance.'

The Oriental liner Indrapura arrived at Astoria this morning at 8 o'clock, almost two days late of her schedule time. .She sailed from Yokohama on September 1, and was expected to reach the mouth of the Columbia river on Thursday. Her long- passage causes some sur prise, as she is very seldom longer than 17 days In crossing the Pacific. Her sister steamer, the Indrasamha, hold! tho record, having made, the run In 18 days. .It is'believed that the long passage this trip is due to contrary winds and perhaps fogs. Of late the San Francisco liners have been bother4 In this manner more than usual. On this voyage the Indrapura did not call at Victoria, but sailed direct for the Columbia river. She la bringing 2,125 tons Of cargo, consisting of the ordinary line of goods shipped from the far East, tea being one of the heavy consignment.- There, are also some Japanese and Chinese passengers.

Thompson, aged 90, mar ried Mrs. M. S. Wiles, aged 77. They look back on their childhood In their na tive state. New York, as though these happy times were but a year away, sM regara tne ruture witn all the buoyancy of youth. The groom, a veteran of the Mexican war, has resided at Tillamook City for many years. He Is of a fam 11 y of long-lived people. His grand father was a sturdy young man when the flag of King George waved over the American colonies, and did not die un til he was 110 years old. His father lived 97 years. His bride also comes from a long-lived family. She had been a widow since 1892. As the couple began their honeymoon. news came of the celebration of the birthday of Grandma Moorehouse. who waa 92 years of age September 9. At her home In Weston, Mrs. Mary I Gra ham, who is a friend of the old lady, had made preparations for a birthday party to celebrate the event. The only surviv ing son of . Mrs. Moorehouse and hla wife, with their son and his family, were among the guests. All afternoon friends and neighbors congratulated their hostess. While close to the 100th milepost of life, Grandma Moorehouse is active, and gave her personal direction to the preparation of dinner and the serving of the meal. Mrs. Moorehouse has resided in Oregon for many years. though a native of New England. Many of her stories of early days are now being compiled and will be published. - ' Growth of the 8 oath.

For instance, the value of the southern corn crop is stated, at $233,- 446,662. that of wheat at $17,482,730. that of oats $15,764,739, that of hay and forage $64,677,066, and that of potatoes at $11,006,962.

Mrs. Lutes says .that while she was III In a Denver hospital Mr. Lutes be came enamored of a Mrs. Rose Green- away, whom he employed as a stenog rap her, sold the business which he owned olntly with his wife, cashed a check for 11.000, then fled. This Mr. Lutes emphatically denied today. He Is 'now employed, with the Portland Artificial Limb Co, 127 1-Z First street, and has been there for a year or more. He says Mrs. Green way was In Denver when he left; that he has stubs In a checkbook to show that every cent of the alleged $1,000 was disposed of lawfully; that his wife knew several weeks before that he was going- to leave, and In short, represents every statement she makes to be false. ' r , Mrs. Lntes' Story. Mrs. Lutes' letter -follows. "Mayor of Portland, Or.r-Dear Sir. Through the chief of police of Seattle I have succeeded In locating Mr. J. Lutes, my runaway husband, at 117 hk First street. Portland, Or., and 'my pur pose In addressing you Is to expose him ss the manager pf the Portland Arti ficial Limb Company, and the company with htm. Being without ' means I are power less to do anything except to expose him. I ask your assistance In th mat ter s far as possible. Mrs. Greenway Is passing as his wife, so I am correctly Informed. As the matter Is becoming generally known In Portland It would not fake, touch effort iu your part, , I have addressed also every arti ficial limb company on the Pacific coast. several surgeons and physicians in Port land, informing them of -the true state of affairs and warning all to have no dealings with said firm. 'I am Mr. Lute' wife, and until hi location In Portland we were doing bus iness In Denver as the J. H. Lutes' Artificial Limb Company, 1129 Seven teenth street It was my money and means, belonging to me before our mar riage, that brought us here to Denver for my health and started the business. We had a successful business. I was his legal partner and acted as stenog rapher. During- my illness he met one Mrs. Ross Greenway. He employed her and waa sued by Mr. Greenway. Our home and half the business being in my name he 41 d not get much. Mr. Green way then left Denver. "In the meantime my husband abused me. I was an Invalid on crutches for three months and Mrs. Greenway and Mr. Lutes finally left tho city. He first collected all the accounts possible, cashed a check on the bank for $1,000, sold off all th furniture and fixtures of the business, taking the tools, etc. with htm and left me without means. Since his departure I have been in the' hospital for another operation and am now on the road to recovery. "All this time (a year) I have been depending upon an elderly father's small 'wages and have not tha means to prose- out Mr. Lutes. I do not consider him worth spending anything upon, It has been only recently that I have been able to take step towards flndlng-out4f ho really had Mrs. Greenway ; with - him ana hi exact location.

"In tho first place, It was simply fam lly -troubles which Separated us. Mr wife's mother was stopping at our house and. during Mrs. Lutes' Illness she heard talcs from several of the neighbors to the effect that I, was intimate with Mrs. Greenway. This was false, but my wife was sick and in low epirlta and believed the- statement. It finally reached th point where I could not live with my mother-in-law and I left th house. 'My. wife was feeling sick . and I fianlly told her that we had better sep arate. She knew several week before I left Denver that I was going' and I mad no secret of my Intentions to any one. - I left as an honest roan would, lit tho daytime, and without any attempt to hlde.my. movements. . :.

"My wife represents that she only learned of my whereabouts through ths police. As a matter of fact I have written- her a number of letters." and he showed a eopy of one letter dated from this city on October 2, 1902, In which he told Mrs. Lutes If she would come out here he would give her a 'good home. . "I do not see that there la much to be said in the matter. : I did not leave with Mrs. Greenway and have not. been with her since I left Denver. My wife has known of my whereabouts all the time," and he displayed several letters signed by her and addressed to him in this city. "What her motives are I cannot guess.v All of my letters she answered by abusing me. We probably have both made mistakes, everyone is apt to, but at all times-I have been willing to give my wife 'a good home and help her all In my power." In her letters Mr. LutCs referred to the Columbia Artificial Limb Company of 291 H Morrison street, this city, and an Inquiry at the address developed the fact that the company had engaged rooms there for some time, ' but . that the proprietors had left for California two months ago. The proprietor of the building knew nothing about them. 30tli Cgntey .-Fibre Todaywe particularlywant to talk to youabout , Fibre Carpets arid Rugs.
