DESERTED WIFE
IlilIGS HERSELF
3Irs. Henry Peterson Com
mits Suicide at Mult
nomah Station.
Mrs. Henry Peterson, living near
Multnomah station on ihe Oregon Elec
tric lln. went out Into her yard yester
day, cut a section of clothes line, and
used it to hang herself. Returning- to
the house she tied one end of the eord
to a door knob, and passed the line
over the upper hinge of the door. Then
after tying the other end of the line
about her neck she mounted a nail keg,
kicked out the keg and the allpnoose
soon ended her life. Her feet were
hut a few inches from the floor when
the body was found.
From a letter written by Mra. Peter
son to her sister, Mrs. i& w. jmareage,
at I.nt(. it ia evident that her hus
band's desertion was the primary caue
for the suicide. They had been married
but a year when Peterson, a Civil war
veteran ana a pensioner, leu ner, ap
parently lured away by his desire for
a wandering life. He was SO years
of age and his wife SO years old when
they were married.
Th. fact that Mrs. Peterson was los
ing her eyesight increased her melan
cholia, which had been evident to all
who knew - her. The body was found
bv a neighbor. Mrs. George Wey. who
went to the bous. to visit Mrs. Peter
son. Deputy Coroner Hows went to the
house, which Is west of Carson Heights.
and found the letter addressed to Mrs.
Kldrldge, which proved t a suicide
had been committed. The body was re
moved to the Dunnln- morgue i&ta yes
terday afternoon. .

SCHOONER FOR DEEP SEA FISHING
IS LAUNCHED IN THIS CITY
The first schooner of the Oregon Deep
Sea Pishing company will be launched at
1 o'clock this afternoon from Graham's
boat building plant at the foot of Mill
street, and will make the trip to the
Ashing grounds off the Oregon coast,
going down the river this evening. The
new schooner is 60 horsepower, 62 feet
long and Is equipped with two complete
outfits of deep sea trawls with a power
ful winch for hauling up the trawls,
which are of such capacity that they
will hold two or three tons of nab at
each haul.
In the experimental trips which have
been made with these trawls the fish
caught have Included halibut, cod, sole,
black bass, plaice, flounders and crabs.
The company is establishing depots at
Yaqulna and Portland and will probably
make one at Astoria.
(The patent rights covering the coast
nes of Oregon and Washington of the
beamless trawl, which Is an English
patent and Is used on deep sea schoon
ers supplying the markets of the Brit
ish isles, have been secured bv this
company giving it control of the waters
of the entire northwest.
One .effect of the operations of the
Oregon Deep Sea Fishing company will
be to reduce the market Drice of fish.

SWASHES FIND WAITING ON
' GRAND JURY WEARY TASK
There Is an air of mystery about the
corridors of the federal building where
the United States grand jury is in ses
sion. A doten dusky Indiana pace the
halls nervously, smoking long pipes and
possibly wishing that they were back
on the reservation or that some kind
Providence would send a friend alons
with a bottle Occasionally the door to
the Jury room opens, -to release a wit
ness who has finished testifying, and
to admit another to face the same
ordeal.
Some of these Indiana who are from
different reservations of the ' st&ti.
amuse themselves while waiting their
turn to tell what they know about the
illegal sales of "fire water," by swap
ping hunting yarns. One tall Klamath
brave was giving an exciting account
of an antelope hunt this morning, put
ting the tame deer hunts and cougar
killings of his fellow story tellers to
blush.
But they are all of them restless and
uneasy; longing to get back to the
simple life to .-which they are ac
customed. One very old squaw spent
most of the day sitting Indian fashion
on the floor of the corridor and her
face wore an expression of the utmost
discomfort Her brave, a little white
haired, stoop shouldered fellow, was
much Interested in the life of civiliza
tion, although he was so blind that It
was difficult for him to see the people
moving about him.

Salem, Or., Feb. 17. The midnight
oil burned by the house In passing bills
laat night, with the official clock show
ing that the hour of -8 o'clock had not
arrived, came near being wasted bv the
action of the senate this morning. After
refusing tp receive six bills that the
house passed last night, and suspending
the rules to receive three others, the
senate made up its mind to throw down
the bars and let all house bills passed
last night be considered. This was
done by adopting a motion by Kay
whereby the joint adjournment resolu
tion, which also fixed 8 o'clock yester
day as the time limit for receiving bills
from the other house, was reconsidered
by the senate and sent back to the
resolutions committee. The resolution
Will be reoorted out in amended form
allowing the senate to consider all bills
passed Dy tne house last night without
suspending the rules, thus giving all of
them an equal show.
President Bowernmn was opposed to
receiving bills that the house worked
overtime to pass. He said each bill
could be taken up under the rules by
iwo imras vote, dui not otnerwise.
"To mv astonishment." said th nre.l-
dent, "the house put through a lot of
bills last ntght without much considera
tion. I am reaiiy to vote for some of
them that have merit, and I will not be
offended if the senate considers all of
them, but I will rule that thev cannot
be taken up without a two thirds vote
on each."
Kay started in to move for the con.
slderatlon of each house bill separately,
but two thirds would not follow him In
voting to suspend the rules for each bill
without regard to what it contained
The senate refused to suspend the rules
for the bill prohibiting medical advertis
ing and refused to receive the addi
tional 125,000 appropriation for the He.
attle fair. The bill amending the local
option law met the same fate, as did
the ones amending the banking laws and
providing that county courts nut set
affile money for county fairs.
On the other hand, the senate voted
to consider the bill for submitting to
popular vote the $300,000 appropriation
for an asylum In eastern Oregon, and
also the one authorising the transfer
of the Drain normal school for use as a
high school.
Discovering that it was rng Into
an Interminable tangle, the ft. yield
