CRUISERS AT 'FRISCO
FROM TARGET RANGE
R. A Sanders left his wife after eight
vears of married life, telling her ha
had found out there were others be
sides her," according to the story told
In the wltneis chair in Judge O'Pay's
department of the circuit court this
morning by Mrs. Georgia A. Sanders,
Divorce was granted on the ground of
cruel treatment, the wife telling of
many occasions when she was knocked
around and abused. lie drank and waa
quarrelsome and abusive, she said. They
were married in im and finally sep
arated last January.
Six divorce decrees In all were ground
out this morning, and in all but two
canes the charge was desertion. Tha
defendants In each case had failed to
answer, and little more than half an
hour was consumed In striking off tha
shackles or tne hair dozen.
Two of the freedom-seekers were men.
Thomas H. Clark had the longest mar
ried experience of any, having been
united fo Katie C. Clark in Medicine
Lodge, Kansas, on Christmas eve, 179.
They lived happily for many years, but
while they were living In Hood River
In 1800 his wife went away, and she
has not returned. Clark said his wife
wrote to him asking for money not long
ago, and he offered to send it if she
would return. 8he refused, he said, and
a brother of Mrs. Clark told of hla fu
tile efforts to bring about a reconcilia
tion. Mrs. Jennie Glover blushed and
smiled with embarrassment when s.ie
was called on to tell of the desertion
of her husband, Coe Glover. She was
granted permission to resume the
maiden name of Jennie Barnes after
stating that she waa married In Port
land In August, 1(0)9. and deserted a
little over three months later, her hus
band choosing Thanksgiving day to
make his tlnal exit. She said he dis
liked work and evidently did not like
the Job of supporting her. 1
Edna Palmater said that Charles W.
Palmater repeatedly cursed her and
beat her while they were living at The
Dalles and later In Portland. She said
when they came here he promised to do
better, but he was meaner than ever,
and In Deaember, 1902, she left him.
They were married at The Dalles In
1900.
E. R. Hogan, who was married to
Mary Hogan In June, 1902, left him
while they were living in Astoria In
1908. He said she simply packed up
and went to California, and has since
refused to return.
Another desertion was told about by
Mrs. Marllla Collins, who said S. B.
coiuns lert ner at Grants station Sher
man county. In 1902. He Is now In
North Yakima, Washington. They were
marriea in uoiaenaaie, wasnington. In
1902.
J. C. Bryant, a timber denier with of
fices in tha Chamber of Commerce
building, has filed his petition with
County Clerk Fields aa a candidate to
tbe lower house of the legislature on
the Republloan ticket Mr. Bryant Is
a native of thla state and has lived In
or near Portland all his life, and haa
voted for Republican principles aver
alnce ha became a voter.
In announcing his candidacy Mr. Bry
ant promises to support the principles
of the Republican party, as set forth
In tha Roosevelt policy, perform tha
duties of bis office In the Interest of
he people, defend the primary law and
the principles of the Initiative and ref
erendum law, and has subscribed to
iltatenient No. 1.
I believe In Statement No. 1. says
Mr. Bryant "because It contains a
principle of government which the Re-
UDllcan party has repeatedly declared
or In countr. atste and national plat
forms; namely, the election or united
fitatea .senators by direct vote of the
people, and the primary law and State
ment No. I comes nearer carrying Into
effect that principle than any other
plan that haa ever been before the peo
ple of this state. I do not believe In
advocating a principle of government
unless we Intend to put It Into effect
at the first opportunity.
Besides this Is a progressive age. Tbe
world Is advancing In thought and
achievements. A political party, like
a commercial body, must keep apace
with the times and adopt methods ana
principles demanded by the times In
order to be a useful agent of the peo
ple. The proposition of electing uni
ted States senators by dlsect vols of
the Deoole has. at some time or an
other, been advocated In almost every
state In the Union, and the only way to
bring about that result Is for each atate
to take up the question under some
plan like tha primary law and State
ment No. 1, and send to congress men
fledged to support an amendment to
he United States constitution, giving
tha DHonle that rlaht. In this matter
the people of Oregon lead the way. Shall
they lead on or turn backT"
Mr. Bryant favors the University of
nrea-nn annronrlatlon bill and a liberal
appropriation for the maintenance and
betterment of the higher educational
state lnstltotlons; laws dasllng wltn cap
Ital snd labor on an equal basis: Im
provements of the waterways snd pro

OLD BEN, THE SEAL,
PRE FISH EATER
(Special Dispatch to Tbe Journal)
Avalon, Cal., March 13. "Old Ben,"
the famous seal of Catallna Island, broke
his record yesterday when he devoured
ZOO pounds of long-flnned tuna and
skipjack for his midday meal.
The fishing launches returning at
noon brought an unusually heavy catch,
and "Ben," scenting the feast, hurried
close In shore for his share of the spoil.
Selling a fish from the launchmen, he
would dive back Into the bay, rising to
the surface now and then to give his
food a vicious toss. Judging from the
keenness of "Old Ben's'T appetite. It
seemed obvious that he had experienced
an acute attack of "fisherman's luck"
of late, and a tally was kept of each fish
ns it waa rapidly devoured.
When 125 pounds, his former record,
had been consumed he still seemed un
earned. At this point, the enthusiasm
increasing among the crowd, a fresh
supply of fish was brought up to fur
ther test his capacity. At 200 pounds
"Old Ben" paused, and it was thought I
he was content. This was found not an.
ns after a few minutes, amid the cheers
or tne spectators, wen" returned again
and, taking the last fish, a 30-pound
tuna, gracefully plunged back Into tha
oay.
Tom Richardson, manager of the
Portland Commercial club, win return
next 8unday from a trip through south

of promotion work for the Oregon De

tlons of Ashland. Medford, Grant's
Pass and Roseburg. and at each place
several thousand doHars has been raised
by business men's subscriptions for
moloylng publicity secretaries to pusn
the work of advertising Oregon In the

Mr. Richardson will speak at Albany
tonight. He Is placing before the busi
ness men of tne country towns and
Hies the advantages of municipal ad-
ertlslng. and Is doing it so well tnat
these business men are convinced that
good advertising Is worth paying for.
he results or tne advertising that nas
been done In the east by the commercial
rran. nations of Portland are cited by
Mr. Richardson as proof of its value.

A novel method of advertising tha
I u . 11 ' J 1 1 j x , 1
reffiuii uuuul euueruurn, ureuon, is ow
ing tried by K. D. Hume, a well-known
canneryman and sawmill operator. He
has offered through the Portland Com
merclal club. to give free use of 20 acres
or land to eacn or 20 families that will
reside upon said land for five years.
After the fifth year he is to receive
33 per acre per annum rental for 15
years. If the tenant wishes to remain.
lie also agrees to furnish each settler
at thj beginning with a cow, a pig, one
dozen chlcRens, free pasturage for th
cow, and free lumber to anyone who
will operate a sawmill for the purpose
of sawing lumber to build the settler's
house. He guarantees to buy at a rea
sonable price all the cord wood the set
tler will chop on the lands.
Held a prisoner In a room In a cheap
lodging house In Ban Francisco, where
he had been enticed by two bunko men
and under thraati of taking hla Ufa un
ess he signed two checks for 1800 and
1600, Joseph Brown, a Portland mill
worker, returned home yesterday, after
having been robbed of 130 In cash
which he had la bis possession. Tha
two checks. ' which are on Portland
banks, are worthless, as Brown only
had money In one of the banks, and
that on deposit ao that It could not be
drawn. m
Brown, who 1 young and unsophisti
cated, met the two strangers soon after
he had arrived In San Francisco, and
they soon convinced him they were all
right. The Portland man looking for
experience soon disclosed to the men
that he had In his possession a certifi
cate of deposit on tho United States
National ban or rorwana. uois was
for something like 3200, but the fllm
flammera Imagined that It waa for a
much larger sum.
Prodaoa Blaak Checks.
Consequently they took Brown Into
their confidence and unraveled to plm
a great scheme to make money oy
playing the raoes by system, uro
was dassled. He save them 330
cash, nearly all ha had. Not satisfied
the men stayed with him and eventual
lv nt him to a room In a- house. Here
they produced two blank' checks, one
on tne united mates national pan a
and the other on Ihe Flrat National
both of Portland, and wanted him to
algn them. They explained that tha
checks were not to be cashed and tha
thev were to be used merely for the
purpose of making a display of wealth.
urown became suspicious ana. re
fused to sign. Then the men became
commanding and announoed that ha
would never leave the place alive un
less he signed and Indorsed the checks
aa they demanded. Brown then gave
In and signed. Soon afterward the
men disappeared.
Back to the XjOga.
Brown telegraphed the United States
isauonai Dana orriciais nere not to
honor any checks bearing his name.
This was not necessary, however, aa
the young man had his money In the
bank so that It Is not subject to check
under anv condition.
Brown met one of the- bunko men at
the Broadway dock In Ban Francisco
Later the two went to the Union Iron
works, where they picked up the other
man. Then the scheme to beat the
races, get rich quick and lead a life of
eaae waa concocted ana tnat night
Brown waa victimised of his 130 and
the two worthless checks which he waa
compelled to sign.
The supposition is tnat tne men
Imagined Brown was rich and that all
that waa necessary was to get him to
sign tne checks which they had made
out themselves.
Brown has gone to work again in a
mill on the river.
