READY TO SIGN DEEDS.
Owners of the Canal Route to Con-
vey 1T to the state.

F. A. Seufert, of The Dalles. says
that he is ready to convey to the state
and the National Government right of
way for Cello canal through his prop
erty and that he will sign the deeds this
week.
Mr.. Seufert's holdings cover 515 miles
of the proposed canal route. the re.
naming three miles being owned by l..
H. Taffe, William Michel, Everding &
Farrell and the O. R. & N. All of these
owners are willing to give up ground
readily and have reached an under
standing with the state commissioners
excepting Mr.. Taffe, who says his val.
liable property interests will be con-
sderably damaged by the waterway.
Mr.. Taf'e owns about one quarter mile
on the canal route.

sign up with the other owners within
the next 80 days and meanwhile will
endeavor to make an amicable agree
ment with Mr.. Tatfe, paying him liber-
ally for damages.
A question which may be injected in
to the negotiations with Mr.. Taffe,
should amicabe adjustment be impos
sibIe, will be as to the actual ownership
of the ground. The ground is regarded
by some persons as overflow land, which
under decision of the circuit court, be-
longs to the state.
The commissioners are doing nothing
with the portage project at present.
They desire first of all to secure the ca
nal right of way without the impede
ments to that improvement that might
be raised by giving the portage piece
1ence.

Investigation of the business
methods employed by G. B. Wade,
who is now enjoying more genial
climate, shows a bad state of
affairs. Wade's debts amount to
over 100000. His assets amount
to something like $4,000. He
dabbled IN about every get-rich-
quick concern in the country, but
it was all with other peoples
money and they will be the losers.
Wade seemed to have a mania for
making bad investments in mining
stock, and this is where most of
the money was squandered. just
as long as he could get money he
speculated. He had almost 3,OOO,-
600 shares of mining stock in
score or more of mines.

Outlook is Brighter.

Although the livestock market lacks
both the essential elements of activity
in Grant county, says the Blue Noun.
tain Eagle, that is, tat sheep and cattle,
and good prices, the situation is regard.
ed as most favorable by those who un-
derstand it best.
In speaking of the favorable outlook
Emmett Cochran, an extensive grower
of both sheep and cattle in the Monu-
ment country, gave the conditions some.
what as follows:
Grant county is not IN position to
obtain the earliest benefits of rise in
prices at the present time, because lack
of shipping facilities put us 20 remote
from trade centers that the first supply
to meet any rising demand must come
from almost every other section of the
country. but tno war SITUATION IN the
far east is such that an unusually heavy
demand for meat products is likely to
grow up. This requirement will first
take up all fed stuff. The proba bilities
of continued hostlities will induce
those who are able to turn off their fat
stock to look the field over for promis-
ing feeders. And it is ability to supply
this class of stock that Grant county ex-
cells. There probably never was time
when the grower in this county could
turn as many feeders, in fair to good
into the feeding grounds, as
at the present time.
Mr.. Cochran likewise believes in the
ability of owners in Grant county to keep
she stock through the winter on the
-ange and feed supply, SO tht while
here is no movement in the livestock
business at this time. yet the outlook is
bright.

Court Is Handed Down.
POWER VESTED IN MINISTER
May Decline to Perform Cere-
mOny for Divorced Person,
Without Subjecting Him-
self TO Discipline.

Boston, Oct. 20.-If the house Of
bishops concurs in the action taken
today by the house of deputies Of the
Episcopal general convention, now In
session in this city. the church will
have taken a. long step in the direc-
tion OF restricting the remarriage Of
divorced persons. The house Of depu-
ties has agreed upon compromise
proposal that is sweeping In its terms.
and, as the house Of bishops favored
a canon making 1t absolutely impos.
sible for divorced persons to remarry,
it 10 thought not improbable that the
compromise win be enacted.
The compromise canon was adopted
by the deputies by an overwhelming
majority The divorce question has
been the most important before the
convention and the action Of the depu-
ties today was followed with great In
terest. Should the Compromise be
agreeable to the bishops. the matter
viii have been disposed Of for at least
three years.
"A The compromise measure, IKE the
old law. permiss the remarriase Of an
Innocent person divorced for the cause
ot / s,iity, but it further provides
tina" ~ ss,arriage shall be allowed
within one year after the decree OF
divorce has been issued by the civil
court. Satisfactory proof Of the ip-
nocence Of. the applicant for remar-
riage must be furnished in the shape
of court records. and. after the con-
sent Of the bishop is obtained by such
applicant for remarriage. the clergy
man may refuse to perform the cere-
mony. without subjecting himself to
censure or discipline.
The measure agreed upon by the
deputies will be submitted to the
bishops Immediately.
