At ort-arnt Mount Hul and the dl
ttlct near the base .of the mountain are
a (art of the national rea-rva, and are
therefore under general rovarnm-mt au
nerviaion. It Is believed. liowv.fr. that
I; "this district should be male Jnio a
natlooal park similar to thai at Crater
Uko. which was made out of a forest
teserve, that the mountain will be made
more accessible to tourlitt. (he roaus
will be kent In better condition and
there will be lens danger of destroying
trees and breaking up any part of the
forest country that surrounds the base
of too mountain. -

: A resolution was also 'passed at this

rout to accept bldi fla Oregon stone for
the countr courthouse provided suitable

A story of bad checks, dlscouragltig
debts and pawned wedding presents, 'n
terepersed with ' a young wife's com
ments on the duplicity of her husband
and her theory of man's unimportance
in marriage, was unfolded on the wit
ness stand before Judge Cleland In the
circuit court yesterday afternoon bv
Mrs. Freda R. Ackerman. Her hus
band. Sidney J. Ackerman, is the man
with the debts and the checks, and the
man who put up the wedding presents
to cover his retreat.
"It is generally understood that when
a man gets married he is only a figure
head," said Mrs. Ackerman, and she
seemed surprised when the spectators,
mostly men, responded doubting laugh
ter. "Why. Indeed." she insisted, as a
smile In turn crept over her face, "that
Is all he is. The wedding presents near
ly came to me. personally: they are
mine. Sidney gave me his Interest in
all of the few that came addressed to
both of us. and he asked me to write
tnrjiks, because they were mine."
The question of ownership arises be
cause Mrs. Ackerman is trying to re
cover 170 worth of sliver and J50
damages from R. E. Gale and Arthur
Schubark for holding possession of the
property under a bill of sale from her
husband. Bhe says she gave her hus
band authority to sell the furniture;
which was also hers, to settle Tils debts
when she went to visit his parents In
San Francisco in April of last year. She
torn nim to store the suverwars.
The witness said she had no idea of
the extent of- her husband's debts at
that lime, and not. until afterward did
he learn how he had passed checks
when he bad no funds In the bank.
After she left he sold or pawned every-
ming. in- suver mciuoea. Bhe met him
in 8an Krawlsco while she was away,
she said, and he told he he had stored
the silver ss he promised. When she
came bark In August she learned that
noa
fng to the show next week will be han
dled promptly ana properly. . ..
It had been a question in the minds of
the fair management whether or not the
railway company would be able to pro
vide- tne requirea numoer or cars. , n
will' take over 100 cars to handle the
livestock which will be shipped into
Portland from Salem and Seattle while
other individual shipments- will make
the total run into larger futures. Twelve
cars of finest stock are coming irom
Denver, where the stock show of that
section la in nroaresa this week.
. The securing of the assurances of the
terminal com nan v tnat ail stock can De
properly cared for iirts a Dir loan irora
the minds of the fair management.
An entry bearing considerable Inter
est was received tnia ' morning in tne
shape of a big Belgian stallion, fierce,
owned by J. M. - McKay of Woodburn.
Or. The horse has never been deiaaced
In Europe or America and is a wonder

champion and the twa will probably

W. H. Wehrung, president of the Port

a trip or inspection to tnu irac yes
