EDITORS COME AT ST.
FRANCIS THIS AFTERNOON
Arriving this morning delegates to
the district meeting of the Willamette
Valley Press Association this after
noon convened at the St. Francis Ho
tel for the purpose of discussing mat
ters of interest to the profession.
The meeting held here today was
originally scheduled to take place at
Newport but owing to the distance
and the time required to go and re
turn to the place oT meeting the
-aim was held in this cit v.
eteries under the care of the associa
tion, and to pay the necessary expens
es of the association.
Respect fully submitted this 22nd

The meeting then proceeded to the
election of five trustees, which re
sulted in the choice of the following
persons: F. 11. Pfeiffer, L. F. Wain,
bred C. Veal, Mrs. Mabel Simpson,
ami IV II. Modine.
Foster, Or., Aug. 21. Seventy-five
homesteaders, located in township 12
south, of range 4 east, above W hit
comb's Hig Bottom, in the south San
tiani country, are very jubilant be
cause of the attitude of the present
administration toward the homseek
er. These men, who, with their fam
ilies, have been in the wilds in this
country for more than two years,
have patiently been awaiting the time
when their claims would be recog
nized. That their patience and forti
tude have at last been rewarded is evi
denced by recognition on the part of
Senators Lane and Chamberlain and
Representative I lawlcy, who have
personally communicated with the
homesteaders. The attitude of Sec
retary Lane is also indicative of what
these hardy homesteaders have been
wishing for sonic time. Senator
Chamberlain has sent the advice that
the survey of the township, made by !
the United States government last :
slimmer, is in plat Xo. 6, now in his
office in Washington, D. C. and that
the plat will undoubtedly be placed
in the Portland land office and he
opened for filing at an early date.
The lands that are homestcaded are
Northern Pacific scrip holdings. It
is not anticipated that the Northern
Pacific will seek the courts regarding
the matter, although this scrip has
been sold to the Weycrhauser inter
ests. The homesteaders have spent con
siderable money on the building of
good mads ami trails and have made
splendid clearings on their claims,
claimants have erected good cab-
iiis and have otherwise made exten
sive improvements on their quarter
sections.
This township was once before sur
veyed, the survey having been re
jected. Tlie present attitude of the
administration, together with the fact
I ha I permanent improvements have
been made in "12-4" indicates that a
filing will be granted not later than
Thanksgiving da v. of this year.
These homesteaders arc making and
enlarging their clearings in order that
thev may lake'advantage of the five
year act of 18S6 Tt mav be, however,
that they will eventually "prove up"
under the new TCorah three year law
in ease it passes.
Poster at the present time lies 2fl
miles from the railroad. The land
that has been boniest ended lies 24
miles beyo-'d Foster, in the Santiam
country. While these homesteaders
are now over 40 miles from a rail
road, the proposed electric line that
may be built into Foster would bring
these lands into closer communica
t ion wilh the out side world.
3) Filing suit for divorce, in
which he alleges that his wife
"9 has married again, although the
? bonds of matrimony existing be-
tween them have never been
dissolved, F. H. Esmond, of
Lebanon, is suing for legal sepa-
ration from Delia Esmond, up-
i) on the grounds of desertion.
The couple were married in
Lebanon August 11, 1911. Ac-
cording to the complaint the de-
fendant has treated the plaintiff
cruelty and in less than a month
after the marriage left his home.
The plaintiff alleges that the
wife has since led a life of un-
chastity and unfaithfulness to her
marriage vow and has intermar-
ried with H. S. Taggersal,
SJ whom sue is now living m Port- Cs)
laud. The plaintiff further
claims that the bonds of matri-
mony existing between he and
his wife -have never been dis-
solved.1 Attorney II. B. Chess of
Lebanon will represent the plain-
tiff.

CATLIN WOULD BE

candidacy of Mr. Catlin, and believes
