PORTAGE HELD UP
BY DEPARTMENT
Secretary Taft Refuses to Discuss Port
age Road Until Canal Right of
Way Has Been Secured.

Portland, Sept. According TO a
special from Washington to the Oregon
Daily journal, Secretary Taft, of the
war department, says the government
desires deed to the canal right of way,
before making any statement as to the
feasibility of the portage road being
built upon the canal right Of way. Un-
til the government is formally presented
with the right Of way for the canal, the
secretary will decline to discuss the
features of the portage at all.
Thi1 statement from Secretary Taft
is a result of correspondence with Major
Langfitt, of the Port of Portland, who
has made known the wishes of the state
portage commission to the government.
Major Langfitt, at the request of the
commission, asked the war department
if there would be any objection to the
portage road being built partly on the
ship canal right of way, and Taft made
the reply that the government had moth
ing to say until formally presented with
the right of way. So this reply from

the war department leaves the state
portage commission in the dark, as TO
the probable action of the government
with reference TO the portage. If the
commission proceeds with the portage
on the right of way now being secured
for the ship canal, it may prevent the
government from accepting The canal
right of way, encumbered with the port
age tracks.
Until the entire right of way for the
ship canal is secured and presented to
the government, and formal reply is
received from the war department, as to
allowing the portage on this right Of
way, the people of Oregon do not know
whether the government will permit the
construction of the portage where the
state commission intends to build it.
While the right of way is amply suffici-
ent to accommodate both the portage
and the canal, the government may not
accept right of way for the canal if the
portage is built there before the govern
ment accepts it.

MITCHELL & FULTON
THEY WANT KUYKENDALL FOR
PRESIDENT OF STATE SENATE
1t Is Also Known the Two Senators
Want to Name Speaker of
the Lower House

Portland, Sept S.-Dictatorship is al.
ways fraught with peril for those who
attempt it and the efforts OF Oregon's
United States senators to control the
organization Of the next legislature are
already arousing murmurs of strong dis
content. Senator Mitchell and Senator
Fulton have shown their intention Of
making DR.. Kuykendall OF Lane the
president Of the state senate, and many
politicians are of the opinion that they
will endeavor to name the speaker as
WELL
The anti-Mitchell wing of the republi,
can party in this state, though crushed
is not extinct. Its representation in the
legislature is small but it is capable of
combination with other elements which
may make it formidable. There is
small body of legislators who are sstrong
adherents of Congressman Malcolm
Moody, and they have already made it
plain that they do not take kindly TO the
cut and dried program, arranged by
Mitchell and Fulton. The state sena-
tors from Eastern Oregon make no
secret of their opposition to Kuykendall
for president of the senate and they
stand ready to throw their votes to al
most anyone else who can develop
enough strength to make him possible
winner. The personal ambitions OF sew
eral members of the state senate are also
a factor in the situation, and it is by no
means impossible that some of them
may get together in combination that
would be exceedingly troublesome to
Mitchell and Fulton, especially if the
speakership is to be included in the
program.
At the present time Kuykendall is well
in the lead for the presidency of the
senate, yet he annot be regarded as a
sure winner.

s:dered next in line of ministerial pro-
motion over Athena, and Rev. Edward

was appointed to I'LL the Athena pastor
ate Of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Athena.
While it was the wish of the majority
of the members of MI. Arm6eld' s church
and the people of Athena generally that
he be returned here for another years
work, the church is assured that in Rev.
Baker it will have a capable pastor, one
who is prominent in the ministry and a
man who is said to have great influence
in church work generally. Rev. Arm
field, the retiring pastor, during his two
years work here leaves behind him as a
monument to faithful and untiring
labor one Of the finest church buildings
in the state, thoroughly united and

NO DIVORCE FOR HER
JEWEL F1NDLEY HAS NO ROOM
FOR A COMPLAINT.
Case Was Thrown Out of Court By
Judge Ellis For Want Of
Sufficient Evidence.

Tuesday in the circuit court the old
case of Jewell E. Findley vs.. Joseph
Findley, action for divorce, was thrown
out of court on the grounds that the
plaintiff was not entitled to divorce
from her husband, she being unable to
show sufficient cause why the divorce
should be granted, reports the Tribune.
In fact, according to the opinion Of the
court, the case was one where the wife
simply got tired of her husband and
wanted to be freed from him. They
were married iu FLORIDA, and he is un-
educated. He sent her to Oregon about
a year or SO ago and later followed her
here. After she had been here for some
time she decided that she wanted di-
vorce, and SO brought action against
HIM.
He put in defense and cross bill, and
after giving the case careful consider
alton Judge Ellis has decided that
neither party is entitled to decree, SO
the suit has been thrown out OF court
and they will have to remain husband
and wife so far the court is concerned.
Will M. Peterson and John McCourt
we're attorneys for the plaintiff, while j.
A. Fee appeared for the defendant.
Mrs. Findley and two children for a
time made their home with the Zerba
family. Nothing here is known Of her
husband.
