THE DIVORCE COURT
IS Kfcr'T GRINDING.
Five Decrees Granted in One Day,
and the Grist on Hand Is Quite
Large Some Comparisons.
Thursday was a busy day in di
vorce court. Judge Ellis started the
divorce mill to grinding and the
wheels dm not stop until five drv
crees were granted.
These Were: Lizzie P. Baker vs
j William W. Baker. The cause for
tho action was desertion and failure
' to provide.
1 Sino Copeland was parted from Jo
j seph Copeland.
I Samuel J. Christner from Elizabeth
Christner.
Peter West was tho attorney for
plaintiffs in the above four suits.
Jennie P. Parrish vs. W. M. Par
rlsh. This was also a case where
plaintiff claimed failure to provide.
Cyrel J. Whitaker vs. Hattle L.
Whttaker. This last suit was filed
Wednesday and the decree granted
Thursday, but on what grounds is
not obtainable, as the papers are
kept from the public. The other
cases has been in the district court
for several months.
Although five a day is grinding
out divorpe cases quite rapidly, at
this rate it will take about 10 days
to clear the docket of these cases
now pending in the courts, and, if
they continue to come in as rapidly
as they have since the first of the
present year, the judge will have to
devote- most of his time to hearing
and deciding on cases where man and
wife want legal separation
Since the first day of January,
1902, .iust 21 divorce suits have been
filed. This only lacks 10 of being as
many divorces asked for as there
were marriage licenses granted, for
in the same time only 31 couples
were given permission to wed in
Umatilla county.
During the same four months of
1901, 13 divorce cases were applied
for and 47 marriage licenses were
issued. This shows a marked differ
ence both ways. In the first four
months of the present year almost,
double the number of divorces were'
applied for than during the same time
of last year, while during the first ,
four months of last year 10 more mar-,
riage licenses were granted than the!
same months of this year. I
In January, February, March and
April, 1900, 16 divorces were applied
Tor and in the same length of time 38
marriage licenses were issued.
In the first four months of 1899, 11
divorces were applied for and 29 mar
riage licenses issued.
Tho same months of 1898 the rec
ords show only five divorce suits fil
ed, which is the smallest amount for
seven years back. The marriages for
these months were 24.
In .1897 nine divorce suits were filed
and 27 marriage licenses were asked
for.
In 18b6, 10 divorces were applied
for and only 17 marriage licenses
were granted. This shows that dur
ing tho first four months of each
year, back to and including 1S9G, 85
divorces were applied for and during
the same time 213 marriage licenses
wore granted. Almost half as many
divorces as marriages.

Wool Clip Cleaner Than Usual, Be
cause Ranges Have Been Cleaner
This Season and Weather More Fa
vocable.
Steam was turned on this morning
and tho wheels of tho machinery at
the Pendleton Wrobl Scouring and
Packing mills began to rovolvo at 7
o'clock, and they will not atop, un
less some break occurs, fpr tho next
nine months.
The management of tho mills al
ready hnvo 300,000 pounds of wool In
the warehouses ready for tho 1902
and 1903 run. and 500,000 pounds
more will arrive within the next few
days.
To take it as a wholo tho wool
clip this year Is not so dirty and
greasy as usual for the reason that
there has been little dry weather,
and. If nothing happens, tho scouring
mill will have one or the most suc
cessful and steady runs since Its es
tablishment. Tho crows will bo on-
gaged most of 'tho time and enough
extra time Is expected to bo put in
during tho nine months, that tho
scouring mill will hnvo tin lS-months'
run to Its credit nt tho end of the
season.
Tho woolen mill, in connection
with .tho scouring mill, runs tho year,
..... i- r
rounu, wun mo exception oi u icw
weeks in tho spring, when a stop is
mndo for cleaning up and repairing,
lu the two establishments SO men
aro employed 40 in tho woolen mill
nnd 40 in the scouring department.
Most of the old crew thnt wns with
tho company last year, Is back with
them again, and but a few now men
aro on tho pay roll. Last Sunday 11
experienced sorters arrived from San
Francisco to work In tho sorting de
partment.
While most of tho wool has boon
clipped In the Immediate vicinity of
Pendleton ,nnd a great deal of it hns
been brought In nnd stored In tho,
warehouses, thorn is yet sonio sheep-j
men who have not sheared and tho
weather of tho past few days has put:
a stop to tho work. This cool and j
dump weather is working n hardship
on the shearers, for they are com-
pelled to lay off by It, and they are.
praying for a few days of warm
weather and sunshine to allow them
to finish ui their spring work.
