Up. in Condon the senator wears his
coat on a .nail in the kitchen, leaves the
top buttons of hist vest open In a care

he pleases. There the senator covers
his corns with light and dainty rai

Borne days ago Senator ' Bowerman
came down to Portland for a cursory
glance at things political and otherwise.
He. stayed at the Imperial with his old
schoolmate, Phil - Metschart, who used
to, in the day gone by, parse In unison
with him the sweet and expressive verb
"Ich Hebe. It began to rain, as It has
a habit of doing in Portland occasional

the drops in search of a pair of rub

remembrance of our. happy fchooT days.
Keep them Phil till I come back. And
that is why Phil Metschan looks so

throws was indecisive. The principals
In this little game, of chance j were
Earl Ogle and John H. McKlnzie. each
of, whom had received 13 votes In tho
primaries, making It necessary to
gamble off the tie.
The meeting of Ogle and McKlnzie
Ini the county clerk's office was one
of the most remarkable coincidences
that has been noted at the courthouse
In many a day. Ogle came In company
with George H. Thomas, chairman of
tha Democratic-, county committee.
Thomas has been anxious to have the.
tie settled, and several efforts naa Deen.

and yesterury Thomas came to the
courthouse wu'a Ogle to learn If the
county clerk bad yet communicated
with McKenaie. As the three were
talking another man came up and after
learning which was the county clerk,
he asked who had been elected precinct
committeeman in precinct 81.
"Republican or Democratic V asked
the county clerk.
"Democratic," was the response.
Mr. Fields looked It up. and saw that
this was the precinct where Ogle and
SlcKlnsle had tied.
"I am McKlnzie," said the stranger.
; Then followed Introductions and the
four men retired into m ei
to flip the coin . that made Ogle the
winner. On the first fall Ogle chose
"heads,"' and worn McKlnxie next chose
"tails" and his choice also fell. On
the rub Ogle again selected "heads,'

They lay that the Havana company's

down town last night who prepared their

sale of berries that were not up to class.
Realising that Saturday night would
be about the best time to catch the shop
pers, and also to escape the vigilance
of the health officers, several commis
sion men unloaded about 200 crates of
decayed strawberries on various ped
dlers and sent them about the city.
But the commission merchants reck
oned without their host. Mrs. Sarah A.
Evans, city market Inspector, is always
on the lookout for Just such cases, ami
she condemned more than 100 of the
200 crates.' Had she .been able to get
around to all the neddlers she wouM
have stopped the sale of the defunct
berries entirely.

Declaring that he would not set
bad example to encourage residents of
other counties to come to Portland and
bring non-support suits here. Judge
Webster yesterday dismissed the case
against David L. Baker, who had been
arrested on complaint of his wife. She
charges that he abused her. as well as
D. D.. pastor of the First having failed to provide necessaries at
home.
The hearing developed the fact that
Baker and his wife lived on a place
near Newberg, Yamhill county. After
estalllshln residence there, domestlo
troubles caused both of them to leave.
After she had been In Portland about
one week Mrs. Baker secured the ar
rest of her husband. The husband had
five witnesses subpoenaed from Yamhill
county and the case had such a Yamhill
county flavor that Judge Webster
stopped the hearing before li had gone
very- far and advised the disputatious
couple to carry their troubles to New
berg, If they desire to go further In the
matter.
Incidentally, It was stated that Mrs.
Baker acquired her husband through
an advertisement in a matrimonial pa
per. She is an old-time resident of
Portland, but was In Montana at the
time of the marriage. She now thinks
that Cupid handed her a lemon, and she
exhibited bruises on one of her arms
to show where her husband had struck
her. She said that he let the supply of
groceries run out in the house and then
deserted her.

This character of advertising corre
spondence Is especially effective, be
cause the Baptists who expect to come
to Portland want to know about the
city, and the story as sent them is verv
entertaining. Tne Presbyterians wiil
also get printed matter, and all letters
mention the rose festival.
