The expense budget of $3,000,000 for
tne year io nan oeen aouDiea, al
though the work which wUi be started
this year wtll net be completed for
some time, Mr. Joaselyn said.
The greatest item of new work wlU be
7the construction of a . new 80,000 kilo
watt po wo r plant on the Clackamas
river, three miles above the site of
the present power plant, located at
Caaadero. This plant will coat ultimate
ly 82,600,000 and actual construction
work will be commenced the first of
next year. Preliminary to the building
of the plant the Cazadero line will be
extended to the site, . Material for
building can thus be easily and cheaply
transported. The extension will also
be used for bringing lumber out of the
forest in that vicinity.. The dam for
the new plant will be 160 feet high,
460 feet" wide and will be of solid con
crete construction. A pond of water
six miles Ions: will be caused by Its
construction. , . . . , .
The old "plan will also be maintained,
backing the water clear to the site of
the new obstruction to the river's cur
wnt. This will a-lve the streetcar com -
pany the use of all available power in
r the Clackamas river. causing every
? other plant on the lower river to sus
i'Pend operations, Mr. Josselyn stated.
This will be due to the fact that the
two .dams will be holding the current
when it Is needed by other concerns far

Carruthers Allows Connors

Umpire Carruthers deliberately robbed
the Portland team of the ball game this
morning on a decision that allowed Spo
kane to tie the score In the ninth in
ning. With the score 3 to 3, the game
was called In the twelfth in order to
allow the players and fans to Junch.
It Was the most infamous decision
ever foisted on the Portland
fans In
years. Connors was out by
a eooa six
feet at the plate, when Murray snapped
the ball on mm. J nero wa m uur
ness about the decision. Connors had
JuBt commenced to ascend the mound
at the catcher's plate, when he was
touched out. At the time he was run
ning straight up, and there could be no
Question about his being put out.
For nine Innings, Guyn held the In
dians runless. allowing them but four
hits. In the ninth he hit Weed and
then James got a two bagger. Connors
the best hitter in the league, slammed
out a two bagger into lift on a ball
that Guyn shot too close in. This scared
Weed and James. Brlnker was sent in
to bat for Stevens and filed to Garry.

Cupid Knocks at Door of Me-
sollel Watrin for See

News which indicates that -the legal
complications surrounding the desire
of both - Mesollel Watrin. formerly of
Portland" and Helen Watrin of 747 Bel-
mohl street, to ba separated, which have
spread over a period of nearly nlne
years, have been brought to a close, has
been received from San Francisco.
With It cornea the additional informa
tion that Cupid la knocking for the seo
ond ttma at the door of tha former Ore
gonlan. Word to the authorities was received
from the California cltv the Mesollel
Watrin wanted marriage again and that
In a remarkable document had told his
troubles to Judge Graham of the su
perior court. The exact Import of the
letter,, which waws addressed to the di
vorce department of the San Francisco
courthouse, Is somewhat obscured, and
a Portland end la wanted.
Watrin wrote to the court to send him
the papers in the) divorce action of John
Watrin against Helen Watrin In 1904,
and stated that It was his desire to
embark again upon matrimonial seas.
He gave his address as 747 Belmont
street, Portland.
From Mrs. Helen Watrin and tha son,
Fred Watrin, of the sign painting firm
of Watrin & Blevina, nothing could be
learned of the divorce. Fred Watrin said
that aa far as ha knew his father had
never secured a divorce.
In 1900 the publlo first heard of the
marital difficulties of the Watrlns,
when Helen Watrin applied for a di
vorce, being represented by. Attorney H.
K. Sargent. Tha husband fought the
suit and the case was dismissed. Later
in the same year Mrs. Watrin brought
suit for support. J. F. Booth, attorney
for Watrin, - said today that that suit
was also dismissed.
Watrin left Portland for San, Francis
co six years ago and the family has
heard nothing of him since. As he has
written ror papers in a aivorce proceea
lng Instituted in 1904, it is considered
probable that while In the southern state
he secured a decree.
