THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31. 19fr. CUPID LOAFED PAST YEAR BUI MARS IS E Number of Marriage Licenses Issued for 1915 Less Than Record for Year Before. DIVORCES SHOW INCREASE Sevan ty-f our More Sirorc Decrees Granted Daring- Tear Than for Bane Period Previous. C-upld apparently loafed on the Job In Multnomah county this year. At least, the little god did not live up to his record for 19H. At the same time Mars appears to have been Just as busy In domestic affairs as he was In Europe. With the last day of 1315 missing, statistics In the office of the county cleric show that there were 1835 mar riage licenses issued thts year In Mult, ncmah county, as compared with RriS in 1914, a deficiency of 150 chalked up against 1915. The last day of 1315 Is necessarily mis.-,lriir from thesu figuies, but even If a new record should he hung up for today the results would not be chanifHl materially. If 1915 was a pcujr year for brides. It certainly wos a erund little ffaH".'i for divorces in Portland. There ra 74. more decrees issued to mismatei Pairs in Multnomah county in 19 1 5 than In 1914. The statist:' s show THO divorce) for 1515. as comiar-d with 646 for 1914. ASKS THAT rPJSOXEIIS AVORK Grand Jury Makes Recommenda tions for County.

Ten years ago (1905) there were but 18,352. . This indicates that the PACIFIC telephone business in Portland has made much progress. This progress is due to the growth of Portland, and also to a satisfactory service rendered. We appreciate this patronage, and during the year 1916 and the years that follow, the efforts of our 1700 employes in Portland will continue to be directed towards conducting the telephone business in such manner that the public may enjoy the use of a telephone service furnished by a company that is progressive in its policy, fair and courteous in its dealings with its patrons, reliable In the service furnished, and alive to the needs of Portland and the .Northwest.
