Jefferson 3Iyers Returns
: From .Trip to Canadian
t Wheat' Sletropolis Orc
; gon 2Ian Went to Give Cit
1 izens Advice on Expos.
Jefferson Myr returned, from Win
nipeg, last night, expecting to rind th
WPiaX Oregon weather. Imagine his ur
plfli to find It colder her than In the
frigid province he,, had left but a few
days before. Mr. " Myers and Tom
Richardson, manager of' th Portland
Commercial dub, attended a meeting of
the Canadian club ot Winnipeg to on
- fer with Its members on the plan to
hold an exposition there In Ull.
Mr, Myers left Mr. Richardson at et,
Paul. - tha Commercial culb manager
going on to Chicago and Mr. Myers
hastening back to Oregon to get out
of the cold. The exposition planned
will be in celebration if the centenary
of the arrival oX the Selkirk colony in
western Canada some 100 years ago.
The two Portlandera made the trip at
the expense of the Canadian govern
ment having been Invited to attend the
meeting tor ine purpose 01 giving
ovnmaltinn nmmnten nractlcal point)
on getting up big ahow of this kind
and carrying it to a successful con
cluslon. The Canadian club men and
i tie government officials had heard of
Mr. Myers and Mr. Richardson and of
. sit inn ... v-. .".v. -''
Both Portland men talked J to the
Canadians at length. They told them
about the great country they were visit
ing, about the great country they called
liome and how the Portland exposition of
10 had been started and made a Brat
success and of the wonderful benefits
which Portland naa aerivea irom iu
The meeting had been called merely to
talk over the possibilities of an expo
sition In 11Z. ,:.-.'..
' SxposlHon Is Assured.
After the. two Portlanders had fin
l.hed with their addresses and told
the Canadians what could be accom
plished and pictured to them the won
derful results that would be brought
about the exposition in Winnipeg was
practically assured.?. Enthusiasm was
more than aroused. - . . .
- "Winnipeg has a population ol about
135,000," Mr. Myera said last night,
"and Is a particularly wealthy city
for its sise. The weather up there when
we left was about the same as I ""tick
rre. I didn't think it was go chilly
ljere In Portland. They tell me it
the coldest December In 1ft ye"-.'
"Winnipeg has a department store,
which; considering the sise pf the town,
is the largest In the world. In this
Ptnre there are 2528 persons mployed.
Think of ithat! A small army Ujthat
one store.' The parcels post is In ef
fect up there and they tell rn this
great force in this department store la
"WinniDeg is a great city. And there
sre some mighty ?ln people up there,
)t me tU yoo that 1 like Winnipeg.
There art a great ihany fine homes
there and "11 In all Us a beautiful city
in every respect. .
.i"But to get back to the business end
o the town. Winnipeg has the larg
est, harness and saddlery house in tlia
world, they told me. Then there Is a
grist mill there that uses 0 carloads
of wheat every day that it is run
ning. That is going some, sure, in my
thtlmation. . - .
Western Canada Is to become the
greatest wheat raising country In the
world. There sre' millions of acre of
land under cultivation at the present
time,- but when you figure that there
are something like 275,000,000 acres of
' ground which has not as yet been
ploughed one can Imagine the extent
of this great wheat field.

XTBut western Canada Is not strong In
the fruit line. This Is where Portland
merchants will get in, in the course of
time. And maybe you think we didn't

any great extent either, and this was

Once each week one of the four cir
cuit court Judges draws the unlucky lot
of trying the divorce cases set for Fri
day. Usually the divorces are tried
on that day. but sometimes all the
Jurists are busy with Important trial
and then mtemated couples are com
pelled to grin and bear the agony of
married life - until some Alexander of
the bench finds time to come and untie
the Oordian knot tied by erring Cupid.
Such was -the case last Friday and the
witnesses subpoenaed to assist the
lalntiffs were compelled to go back
ome and rehearse their testimony all
ever drain. However. Presiding Judge
Gantenbein found time yesterday after. :
noon to listen to the tales or tnree mucn
ehused women ; and one unlutPDy man
whose wife had sworn at him and other
wise made his lire miserable ana bur
densome. That John W. Bevan had hardly been
sober for 1 years was the principal al
legation of Mrs. Elisabeth Bevan. who
charged cruelty and inhuman treat
ment and habitual drunkenness. Some
times, he said, her wayward spouse
would fail to put in an appearanoe for a
week or 10 days at a stretch, and again
he would return while on one of his
debauches and threaten ber lire. At
least that was the way she understood
it; he said he would "fix" her. Once
he grabbed the family alarm clock, she
said, and slammed it aeross the room
with such gdbd aim that It struck her
squarely on the head, making a big
lump. ' Besides, she alleges, be naa only
given her $35 with which to clothe her
self and child and keep up the expenses
of the household, In three wnoie years,
anil she was forced to sro to work la an
overall factory" order to provide for
herself, r - The Bevans were married In
January, 1893. and have been spartea
for the past 18 months. The separation
was made nermanent.
Btrong drink was also the cause for
the granting or a divorce to iMuauem
C. Parker, who was married to H. B.
Parker Jr; In this city on November 8,
IQna . At th4 time ttt their miirriiurft.
she knew that he ''took a glass of beer
now and then," but she never imag
ined that he got drunk. Lately, she
testified, he became intoxicated three
times a week. Furthermore he had
never supported her. and she had always
been forced to . contribute toward her
own board bill. - About a year ago he
left her and went to Astoria and al
though she pleaded and begged him to
return to her, he rerused. - '
Lottie May DeLaahmutt testified
that Albert DeLashmutt tired of her
five years after they were married and
deserted her. She had always been
true and dutiful to him, she declared,
and even after he had left her to strug-
fle alone In the world, she followed him
o Seattle to try and persuade blm to
come back. He told her that he didn't
love her any more and didn't want any
thing to do with her. Mrs. DeLash
mutt asked that ber maiden name, Lot
tie May Castro, be restored and the
court granted her the request. -
That Marietta Filkey was in the habit
of using orofane and abusive language,
which ruined his married life, was the
testimony of C. R. Filkey, the one man
who was given a divorce. Marietta
hud accused him of mistreating her and
of Infidelity, he alleged, all without the
slightest cause and had charged that lie
mistreated her . when he never thought
of such a thing. He had always pro
vided for her and bean as dutiful as pos
sible. They were married i In Illinois.
February 19, 1901, but haven't lived
together, for the past two years, since
she refused to come west with him.
