in the store and postoffiee at Mea
chnm about 3 o'clock this morning.

proprietor and postmaster, has been
able to ascertain.

do so. The officers in La Grande

OPENING OF COAL LANDS
Seattle, Sept. 7. Upon his return
from an extensive tour of Alaska, At
torney General Wlckersham today ex
pressed his conviction that the earlier
the coal lands of Alaska were opened
the better. The attorney general, ac
companied by Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel, covered six thou
sand miles in Alaska. Tonight with
Ballinger they will ee guests of the
Arctic club. They will reach Port
land tomorrow. Wlckersham said:
"Transportation is necessary to he
growth of Alaska and coal is neces
sary to transportation. It seems Il
logical that the railroad companies
of Alaska must pay 114 a ton for
Japanese or British Columbia coal
when they have better fuel near
them." He said he believed congress
this winter would work out some way
by which Alaska coal mines can be
developed.

Faces Charges of Cruelty.
W. P. Wlllaby, aged 55 years, an

county for the past 40 years, all but
15 years of his life. More than 30
years ago he was married, raised a
family and lived happily with his wife
and children until a little more than
two years ago, when Martha Dell
Henderson, a grass widow, twice di
vorced, appeared on the scene. The
new arrival is said to have broken up
the Wlllaby home and finally In De
cember, 1908 she was married to
Wlllaby, the first wife having secured
a divorce.
Troubles have come thick and fast
since the second marriage, Willaby
having filed a suit for divorce from
his affinity, last spring. Their trou
bles were finally patched up, how
ever, and they resumed their marital
relations. These relations continued
but a short time, Mrs. Willaby fi
nally going to Portland, where the
suit for divorce has Just been filed.
She asks for 15000 cash and $150 a
.month as alimony; aside from her
claims for money sufficient to prose
cute the suit.
She alleges that he charged her
with having committed adultery with
John Cullender, H. Blue and William
Pearl, all of Athena. She also alleges
that he called her various kinds of
vile names and declares that he quit
her and has gone back to his first
wife.

Cincinnati, Sept. 7. Not since the
year of the great freeze which de
stroyed all the hop trees has there
been such grief in Cincinnati. Ohio
is the center of the nation's saucr
kraut industry, and news from many
sections of the state indicates that
the 1910 crop will be very short and
of a poor quality. Kraut makers fear
that the supply will 'not come near
the demand and unusually high
prices will be charged.
There have been rumors recently
of a stiff raise in the price of beer,
and reports from Germany say that
the limburger cheese is strong as to
price and likely to become stronger.
The sauer kraut shortage, coming on
ton of the other threatened calamities
will make the "high cost or ltvlng" a
live Issue to the German population.
