Her atQry;iyaa told to Judge Cleland,
who heard aiz other tale of matrimo
nial woe, aU' of which ended In a verdict
of aeparaUoiw ' - .
Mra Heatley aald that on day while
her husband waa writing ahe aaarirested
to him that he tell hie mother about
hi having been drunk the night before.
Hla reply waa to hurl the' Ink bottle at
her. He mlsaed. but . the Ink spattered'
ever the bed and the waTLil. -
Mrs. George Frank Scott, the plain
tiff mother, told about having fur
nished money for her aon-ln-law to go
Into the grocery bualneaa. This 'was
not a eucceae, and It waa reported that
when Heatley went out to take ordera
he would remain an hour 6r more at
the home of feminine customers. Mrs.
Heatley aald ahe found that her hut
band made dates with 'other women
and when ahe questioned him about It
he eursed her. They war married In
February. 10, In Banta Roea. Cali
fornia, and separated last November.
Deserted Wife, Then Army.
Alva W. Bennett had the deserting
habit, according to the narrative of
kithelyn I Bennett, for after deserting
her he deserted from the United States
army. He served an equal time in the
army and In matrimony, tiring of both
of them after four months. The Ben
netts were married In Portland In July,
1K06, and went to San Diego to live. In
September, Bennett went to Arlxona
and forgot to send his wife any money.
The next ahe heard of-tolm he had en

that the only way she waa able to pro-

whipped her with a rasor strop, and
threw water In her face. Hla conduct
wa so disagreeable, ah said, that she
left him In January. 10. They were
married in December. 185.
Because ahe could not flrtd happiness
while living with .. hen mother-in-law,
Mra. Eva C Lewis aald' that she left
her home In Atlanta, Georgia, In Janu
ary, 1007. to visit her sister In Lo
Angeles. Linton B. Lewis, the husband,
wa to arrange for another home and
she waa to return In March. But he
sent her no money and anawered only
one of her letters, refusing to leave hi
parenta. Mr. Lewia then came to Port
land with her alster. She and Lewi

Mr. Nettle Waltera waa equally at a
loss to tell why Robert A. Walter left
her In December, 105. They had been
married over four year. She was sure
that the fault wa all hi, however.

May I. After eight and one half In

stood 8 to 9 In favor of Albany college,
the game here yesterday afternoon was
forfeited to Willamette because of rain
It was a hit-and-run game from start
to finish, though Patterson, for Albany
struck out 18 men. During the latter
part of the game the rain fell continu
ously. Twice the game waa Interrupted
before the players were forced finally
to leave the field.
The bateries were W. Patterson and
D. Patterson for Albany, MaeDowell and
Naoe and Unruh for Willamette.
The result was not satisfactory and
the contestants finally concluded to call
it no contest The game will be re

Large Orders From Distant

LOCAL BUSINESS
CONTINUES ACTIVE
Prices on All Classes of Material
Considerably Lower Than a Tear
Ago and This Is Attributed to
"Strong Activity in Building Line.
There have been no Indications of
fluctuation In building material price
during the past week. Lumber remain
from ft to 86 per thousand cheaper
than a year ago and a consequence
thereof is great activity in the building
lln.
But for a brisk local demand some
sawmill tn this vicinity would prob
ably have to close down a good part of
the time. Rail shipments are tlll very
light as compared with buslnes prior
to th advanced freight rate which went
Into effect, last November. The ap
proach of summer ha stimulated traf
fic to a certain extent but not sufficient
ly to stamp It even satisfactory.
Mills with good water transportation
facilities are keeping buay on foreign
Order of which a number have been
captured of late, and but for these some
Of the largest plants tn the city would
have difficulty to keep going. More
than a dosen million feet were started
for foreign port during April, and In-
aications are mat May wiu aiao roil
up a good record. China, Australia,
South America and South Africa are
buying In response to the low prices. '
while mtllmen, like men In any other
line of business, regret having to quote
bedrock prices, the business now being
done on the strength thereof Is expect
ed to lead to new connection that In
the future might prove more profitable.
During the paat month aeveral ordera
for vary high-class finished material
were filled, a somewhat new departure.
While Jo the past the average cargo of
about 8.000,000 feet has been estimated
worth from 840.OO0 to 860,000, one cargo
hipped a few week ago wa valued at
$111,000. a good portion of the shipment
being the nlghest grade of finishing
lumber.
' Shingles show no change In price and
there is enough to go around for all
fiu eposes without having to watt fur dv
iveriea. The great building actlvitr
ha resulted In a lively call for mill
work and none of the sash and door fac
tories complain of lack of bualness.
Price ' are lower than last year, how
ever, in conformity with tn lumber
market.
GONGRETHND STEEL"
WILL SUPPLANT WOOD
Newest Building Material to
Solve Problem of Disap
pearing Timber.
Th great hop for the prolongation
of th timber supplies, says Cement
Age, lies In educating th people of the
country to the necessity of scientifi
cally managing the forest, and the ne
cessity of preventing wate. This
mean th use of every part of the
tree cut, the stopping of destructive
fnraat flrM which hava consumed aa
much timber as has been cut; stopping
destruction of young growth, of bark
cutting, ana It means me employment
of preservatives, to prolonw, the life
of the timber used. Unfortunately this
matter has' been taken up too late to
gain all the benefits desirable. Prompt
action, such as Is being encouraged
through theOfcienu of forestry, may,
however, place this country In a much
better position than European countries,
the 'forest resources or whloh were
practically depleted oerore remmi
measures were takenr The next snd
even greatest hope for the forest lies
in the rapidly extending use of concrete
as a substitute for wood in all kinds
of building and structures.
xne raw ciay ana ctmeni-mums ma
terials, sand and gravel, are practically
unlimited In the United States. We
mint tharafora look to these as substi
tutes for Iron and timber in structural
work, if the lire or tnese is to do ex
tnriml tn anv reasonable future period.
Thla substitution Is not only helpful
In preventing the waste of the materl
ala Involved, but is also a gain In that
structure built of concrete are lees
liable to destruction by fire or earth
quake. Since the earthquake and fire
In San Francisco, nearly .100 new
buildings have been erected In San
Francisco of reenforced concrete, and un
questionably this calamity has had the
effect of greatly hastening the adoption
of this material, of which more than
one third of the bualness buildings of San
nvrmlMo are belnar built. The struc
tures made of this material are prac
tically Indestructible. It may be said
that they will last forever, since the
material gains atrength with age. Re
pair bills are reduced to a minimum,
where floors, roofs and exterior surface
finish are of cement and concrete.
With the problems arising from the
waste of money in perishable construc
tion, and with the growing scarcity and
consequent Increase In the price of
wood, the search for a desirable substi
tute becomes a matter of prim impor
tance. Building Permits.
