vised the referee that the witness in that
case had also appeared in the other
but under different names, and had, OF
course, sworn to a state of facts which
entitled the parties to a divorce.
This shocking state of affairs having
been reported to the court, steps were
taken to inaugurate a full investigation.
After having waited few days the same
attorney appeared in court asking the
appointment of referee in third di-
voree case, in which the cause of com
plant was the same as that in the two
former cases. The order was granted,
and the court appointed a referee, who
was duly informed of the facts already
known as to the peculiar conduct of that
particular attorney and his witnesses in
! former cases.
The hearing of the third case came on
regularly before the referee, and the
same witnesses who lad appeared in the
former actions appeared in that, and IN
der still different names testified to a
state of facts which was on it's face suf-
ficent to secure a divorce. The testi-
mony was Transcribed in time, and the
witnesses were brought to the Office of
the referee to sign their testimony, which
they did. They were at once arrested, %
gether with their attorney.
OF course the case was so plainly one
of perjury and subornation of perjury
that there could be no substantial de
Tense offered, and the female witness,
who was always called to testify when
the husband was the plaintiff in the case,
confessed that she had been engaged
for some considerable period as a pro-
fessionaI witness in such cases. She ex-
planned her entrance into the ealing by
saying that she, herself, had secured a
divorce some time before through the
same attorney, and that not being able
to pay his fees in full, he had suggested
to her this means of rendering him
serviceS which would compensate him.
From this beginning she had gone on,
and had testified in all subsequent cases
LOT lee OF 20.
1t is not difficult to imagine what
full knowledge of the facts attending
a number of divorces now being granted
every day would reveal if the truth were
known.
OF course no such performances are
possible except in cases in which the
parties are in COLLISION. husband who
wants to get rid of his wife, or wife
who wants to get rid of her husband
is not expected to be very scrupulous In
the means resorted to, provided there
is an understanding that no defense will
be made to the action Hence the com
parative ease with which fraudulent di-
vorces are obtatnable where collision ex-
lists.
No remedy for the free divorce evil
that may be tried will be at all effective
| if it has not its beginning in securing
the court against the collision of the
parties. In such cases the court itself
is practically helpless without going into
an investigation of the lives of the par
ties and into their conduct in connection
with the application pending, which it is
to all intents impossible to do.

DEVELOPMENT OF GERMAN CITIES

DEVELOPMENT OF GERMAN CITIES.
Those interested in tracing out the
forces which upbuild nations and cities
will do well to study the changes that
have been wrought in the cities Of tho
German empire during the last thirty
years.
We are apt to regard ourselves as
the whole proposition-we have been re-
garding ourselves as world -beaters in
the matter of city building and country
developing. We, doub less, hold first
place in the breaking of new ground and
the bringing together of wide stretches
Of country by means of railroads. But
in the matter of city bu IdIng, the staid
and plodding people of Germany have
distanced us.
Under the policy lnaugurated by Bis
marck, Germany, in 1870, has passed
! from an agricultural to a manufacture
ing nation. It was the policy of protec-
ton to infant industries, wisely applied
The immediate result of this policy was
the rural districts
In 1885 43 per cent Of the population of
the empire lived in cities of 1900 or
| more inhabitants. Ten years later this
proportion was raised to 55 per cent.
This protective policy, and the addition
al policy OF government aid to railroad
! enterprises, was the cause of the devel-
opment of our Western cities. Cnica-
go, Indianapolis, Omaha, Kansas City,
Cleveland, Detroit, shot up like mush-
rooms under fhe favoring conditions.
Minneapolis in 1885 had $4,000 people;
in 1885, $4,000. This seemed a good rec
ord, but the old town of Magdeburg,
Germany, had in 1885 $1,000, and in 1895
225,O6O inhabitants. Dusseldorf in 1855
had $4,000, and in 1895 reached 49, 900.
Chemnitz, in the same time increased
from $1,000 to 161,O0o, and Frankfurt
from 10000 to $4,000. Leipsic jumped
from 12T goo in 1875 to $4,000 in 1895.
Compare these figures with the census
returns of our most favored American
| cities, and we observe that we are net
alone in the march of material improve
ment And, more than this, while tie
American cities have been built for a
decade, the German cities have been
built for the centuries.
This increase has not been confined 70
the smaller cities Hamburg, with a
population in 1875 of $4,000, now has a
population of 100000, while Boston and
Baltimore, who were both near the ESQ,
600 mark in 1876, have about $780, O0
Germany is now in the same CONNER
cial condition with the United States.
Both have large productive capacity,
and little foreign market. The merehant
marine of the two nations are about
equal Unless Germany seeks and OBJ
tains at once ample foreign market fer
the surplus product of her skilled labor
there will be a marked falling off in
the urban population. Germany is an
object lesson that the American states
man can well afford to study.

let the cheese accumulate on the farm,
taking these products to the market
only once or twice a year. Not only
were there as many different lots and
kinds of butter and cheese as there
were producing farms, but the product
of single farm varied in character and
quality according to season and other
circumstances. Every package had to
be examined, graded and sold upon its
merits. 1t was usual for half the but
ter in market to be strong, if not actu-
ally rancid. and for cheese to be sharp.
With the products largely low in grade,
prices also were low.
AS a rule, except in the pasture sea-

grace to farmers to have their cattle
ION the lift in the spring. "On the
lift" was a common expression in the
past in some localities, indicating the
actual necessity of human aid to raise
the emaciated animals to their feet.

MINES AND MINING.
Men " ith New Ideas Needed to Pros
pect Eastern Oregon Min
eral Fields.

James Duckworth. one of the original
locaters of the E. and E. mine, in
Cracker creek district, near Sumpter.
Oregon, and one of the best informed
men in the camp, says that what this
country needs is a thorough prospecting
by men with new ideas. The old
timers always look for certain kind
of float, and are particular about the
formation. Now hardly week passes
without some find being made on hill
sides that have been run over for years
by the old timers and pronounced
worthless.
Mr.. Duckworth visited a property at
the foot of the mountain on the Sump-
ter-Granite wagon road, and found Ben
Yeager and his partner, Montana min.
ing men, working on 200-foot ledge
that he has been over many times and
considered worthless. Development
shows that the ledge is filled with
strata of quartz of blush appearance,
and all of it pans gold. A number OF
assays have been made, giving $3 to
Sl3. The ledge can be traced for over
two miles, from one side of the noun
tain to the other, and it prospects
throughout. At present 25-foot shaft
is being sunk, from which cross cut
will be run to determine if the values
60 down. If favorable results shall
be obtained, machinery will be secured
and a shaft sunk 800 to AGO feet.
There is such large body of ore that,
with present values, So to 81 per ton,
ho NV iS another TrQQnwall
Facilities for mining and milling are
excellent. At the head of Bull Run
creek, running alongside of this ledge,
in early days there was placer mining.
There was little wash gravel in the
creek bed, and the diggings frequently
dipped to the hillside, where no gravel
was found, but rich dirt. At that
time it was wondered where the gold
came from, and no one ever thought
the big dixie was guilty, but this recent
discovery is almost proof positive that
the placer gold came from the dixie. .

There were, of course, some farmers
who took care of their cattle and who
made a specially of turning out first
class dairy products. but as rule
things were in the condition described.
Toward the middle of the century,
the production of cheese being In ex-
cess of the home demand, an export
trade in it began. With the growth of
cities and towns the business of milk
supply increased and better methods
began to prevail. Then came the es-
tablishment of ''creameries'' and the
improvement of the breed of dairy cat
tie. When the improvement of the ma
tive stock of cattle began, a COW that
would give milk that would make a
pound of butter a day for, two or three
months was local celebrity. AS late
as 1865, when good cows sold for $40
or less, an enterprising farmer in New
England advertised widely that he
would pay $100 for any COW that would
yield fifty pounds of milk day on his
farm for two or three consecutive days.
Not an animal was offered on those
conditions. Nowadays a cow that does
not average from six to seven quarts
of milk day for 300 days-being 1900
to $500 pounds year-is not consid-
cred profitable. There are many herds
having an average yearly product of
5000 pounds COW, and single animals
are many which give ten or twelve
times their own weight in milk during
the year. The quality of the milk has
improved SO much that the milk of one
COW now will make as much butter as
did the milk of three or four of the old
native animals
Prodigies.
Though the old native stock was a
pretty tough and disreputable race of
cows, there would appear once in a
while in it prodigy. Such was the
famous "Oakes cow" of Massachusetts,
which as,onished the world, in 1916,
by giving forty-four pounds of milk
day, out of which was made 467 pounds
of butter in one season. This ostenta-
tious COW did this when her friends and
neighbors were proud they produced
sixty pounds of butter year. 1t made
her famous, and she had her picture
painted in oil, but none of her de-
scendants took after her, and she was
regarded as a freak.
Nowadays the Oakes COW would be
regarded as good cow-nothing more.
The Shorthorn breed led in the intro
duction of improved cattle into the
United States and formed the founda-
ton upon which many fine dairy herds
were built They were brought from
England, and much Of the Shorthorn
