"Temporary Marriage," starring Kenneth Harlan and Mildred Da vis in a domestic drama of par ticular appeal, is to he the next Offering at the Liberty theater. It pictures the stcry of the staid, sub stantial average American business man and his younger wife who is Intent upon leading a hectic jazz life.

ROEBLING FAMILY eral hundred colonists on the ship. who began to quarrel as soon as the vessel left Bremen. On their arrival In Philadelphia, one half of them went to southern Indiana and founded the town of New Har mony. (There Is an old Ilarmany on the Ohio, just below Pittsburg.) The other half scattered about to various points and it may be that some 'settled at. Bethel, Mo. My father remained some 4time in Philadelphia to learn English then went to Pittsburg and ultimately bought a large tract of land in But ler county. Pa., founding a village called Saxonburg, exclusively Ger man, to the present day. I was born there. He soon tired of ag riculture and resumed his profes sion of engineering with great suc cess, f He was a man of intense energy and activity. The fire rope business was begun In Saxonburg, but was removed to Trenton, N. J., in 1848, a location better adapted for that bnsiness. The confusion as to. the parts taken by myself and my father Is so common that I have long 'ceased to take any not Ice'of it. Yours sincerely, r WASHINGTON A. ROEBLING.

Important Contests Are 7 Expected in" Adjudication Rhea Luper. state engineer, ex pects soveval Important contests lo develop between large irrigation and power interests claiming wa ter rights" on 'Deschutes river and tributaries when the claims have been filed in the present adjudica tion proceedings are thrown open to public5 inspection. It was so stated at the engineer's office yes terday. Mr. Luper is at Bend. The claims will be open to in spection beginning February 25 and ending April 1, according to notice given by Mr. Luper to all water users on the streams. Con tests may be started within 15 days after the close of the inspec tion period. It is said that the interests of many large concerns are involved. These include not only the older power an dirrigation companies that have had water right claims for many years, but also many companies that have filed on rights in recent years. Contrary to a belief that pre vailed some years ago, it has been found that the waters of the Des chutes are not inexhaustible, and the number of claims, it is said. are in excess of the water supply. although the Deschutes is an excel lent source of water supply fvr ir rigation and power projects. Many of the older rights are uncertain as to priority and extent. The claims which have been submitted will be exhibited at Bend February 2", 2C, and 2 7, at Madras February 28, at Maupin February 2! and lor the remainder of the period at Salem. Quarantine Is Declared Against California Stock A proclamation was "issued by Governor Pierce yesjenlay placing a quarantine against shipments of cattle, .sheep and swine from Cali fornia into Oregon unless certain stringent requirements are com plied with as a precaution against the hoof and mouth disease which has been prevalent in California. Dr. W. H. Lytle received informa tion Sunday night that 20.000 hogs and 2000 cattle are to be slaughtered in Solano, Contra Cos ta, Ventura and Napa counties of California because they are af flicted with the ailment. Their Value is about $200,000. The proclamation is of sweeping nature and prevents railroads from accepting shipments until cars are thoroughly fumigated and the stock must be refused until federal inspectors allow the ship ments. Detention in or passage through the stock yards at East Portland, Brooklyn, Ashland, Rosebure and Junction Citv and otrfer places that within four weeks of ths date of the order has harbored livestock is prohibited until the proper disinfection has taken place. Serums also are pro hibited from shipment until fed eral inspectors declare them free from danger. , MODERN uu 1 xlK . - - r LOTZMiCO. SHOW MiE PROPER Montana- Mmina;. Man En thused Over Santiam Pros pectSays Future Good Three car loads of prospective investors journeyed tip. the Sau- Tiam River Sunday to inspect ;he propertyof the Lotz-Larsen Min ing company. The recent raiiis and wet weath er have had tittle efi'ect on the road as a whole and the trip was made with out incident in so far ah heavy roads are concerned. This speaks well for that part of the country as roads have been a mat ter of considerable conjecture among persons interested. Among the parties taken up was C. L. Allen, a mining man of Montana, who has had many years' experience in the mining and pro ducing of copper ore in that state. He like all others who have seen the .Santiam property was sur prised at the visible value of the district, and in an interviewsaid that he had "never seen such a Lody of copper and gold bearing ore any place out side of the more extensively developed fields of Michigan and Montana." A statement of this sort com ing from is man of Mr. Allen's, ex perience, can not be considered lightly, though it was the prime effort of Lotz and Larsen to open their deposit so that nil questions of extent and quantity would be removed ln-fore they placed Hough of their stock on the mar kct to increase their mill and tram capacity. Work on the Minnie E proper and the extension is progressins rapidly and lietter ore is being opeued almost with each round placed. The high grade encoun tered on the North side of thn river continues to widen end it is confidentially expected that the next few feet of tunnel will open a face of the rich -sulphide now present on the hanging wall. Fate of Oregon Farm Eggs Hangs in Balance By HYMAN H. COHEN (In Oregon Journal.) The fate of Oregon farm eggs is in the hands of J. D. Mickle, state dairy aud food commission er. Under the previous ruling of Mr. Mickle it was generally be lieved by producers and handlers alike that it would be impossible lo profitably handle ranch eggs after March 1, when the new or der went into effect. There appears no doubt that Mr. Mickle's office was imposed upon by interests opposed to, him asan egg seller. In fact, their sales representatives and already spreading the word that after March 1 they will have no com petitors. Under the ruling the farm egg will practically be prohibited from the market here, while it is good enough to be marketed in New York, the most critical market in the nation. New York atnd other eastern centers are at present buy ing carloads of these farm eggs in Portland and other Pacific north- Last Times Today NORMA TALMADGE in "Secret of the Storm Starting Tomorrow "Temporary Marriage" With Kenneth Harlan .v Mildred Davis " Myrtle Stedman Stuart Holmes LIBERTY Country west .centers, but after, March such business would bo Impossible udAr interpretation of the law, and not only" will the. public be at the mercy of combine of egtT in terests but the farmer's wife will no longer be able to clothe and educate the children on the 'eg;: money" as formerly. While a meeting will be held; at the office of Mr. Mickle Monday at 2 o'clock to discuss the rules, it appears certain that the doom of the Oregon egg is sealed be cause the farmer is' too busy to plead his own case, even if he had the time and was so inc'lned. There is no fight against ere grading in this state, but there is a fight against eliminating the Oregon ranch egg grade.
