A FAMILY REUNION.

Gathering on Occasion of Grandma
stones 79th Birthday.
n Sunday was Grandma Stones 10th
birthday and her children and grand
children took advantage of the occasion
and held family reunion. Forty per-
sons were present, but three of whom
not being members of the family. Those
present were:
( DR.. and Mrs. S. G. Stone, of Salem;
E. HI. Stone and family, j. N. Stone and
family, of Milton; Mrs. G. w. Tits
worth and family, Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Woodward, Mrs. r. L. Maloney and
family, DR.. and Mrs. A. B. Stone, Miss
Eva Woodward, Miss Baughman and
Miss Francis Burnham.
Grandma was the pleased recipient of
many beautiful presents, and all that
was lacking to make the enjoyment Of
the day full in happiness to her was the
absence of one daughter, Mrs. Wm
Gerking. She appreciated to the ut.
most the gathering of her sons and
daughters, and her vitality and health
bids fair to make it possible for her to
witness more family reunions.
Mrs. Stone is pioneer and has wit
messed the wilderness of the west gradu-
ally converted into its present stage OF
civilization, growth and prosperity. She
has the distinction of being cousin Of
Abraham Lincoln's wife, and is noted
far and wide as being refined and
lovable old lady.

than will be built this fall, will defect
the sand from the bar into deep water,
and change the entire current of the
Columbia, at the point of delivery into
the ocean, so as to entirely remove the
bar, give 40 feet of water over the pres

of all deep water vessels.
With the continuous appropriation for
the building Of the ship canal at The
Dalles, and the final accomplishment of
this project, the Columbia river will be
open for traffic for distance OF over
400 miles.
The sum originally estimated for the
ship canal at The Dalls is 81 2a9, 600,
which will be forthcoming as soon as the
right of way is secured for the govern
ment and the progress of the work on
the canal demands the money, congress-
having given this assurance to the war
department.

DECISION RENDERED
COURT GRANTS MOSES TAYLOR
HIS DIVORCE.
The Wife Gets Custody of Two Child
rem and About $24,75O in
Money and Property.

Judge Ellis has handed down his de-
cision in the Taylor divorce case. In
rendering his decision the court re-
viewed carefully all the evidence ad-
duced, and dwelt at length on the most
important incidents. Judge Fee, coun-
sci for Mrs. Taylor, gave notice of ap-
peal to the supreme court, but it is not
likely that the case will go up.
The exact terms of the decision as an
nounced by the court are as follows
Moses Taylor is given the divorce and
the custody of the two oldest minor
children, both boys. Mrs Taylor is
given the custody of the two other minor
children. She is also given the farm
known as the home place, consisting OF
100 acres, valued at $4,000, also the
Athena brick business block valued at
$1,000 or its equivelant in money. In
addition the plaintiff, Moses Taylor, is
ordered to pay her the sum Of 81, 800 on
October l, 1904, in order that she may
settle with her attorneys and pay what
ever costs she has incurred in the suit.
Then he is to make the following pay
ments to her: On October !, 1906,
$1,000; on October l, 1906, $1,000; on
October /, 1907, $1,000; on October l,
1908, $500; on October l, 1909, $500; on
October l, 1910, $500. Or he may pay
the entire amount at once computing
interest at 5 per cent on the present
worth OF the payments which would
amount to about $7,275 actual cash at
present. The court said at the conclus-
ion that he considered the amount al
lowed Mrs. Taylor as one third Of the
entire property owned by Moses Taylor.
Some two years ago Mrs. Taylor be-
gan action for divorce but the case was
settled out of court and the home place
was decided to her SO that she now has
the title to that property. As to the
Athena brick store the plaintiff can give
her 1880 and keep the store If she
doesn't want it.
At the time the case was tried couple
Of weeks ago, five days were required for
the taking of the testimony and one day
for arguments by the attorneys. The
case was Of widespread interest through
out the county, as the Taylors have
lived on the farm near Weston for the
past 25 years. The attorneys for Taylor
were Will M. Peterson of Athena, ana
Carter & Raley of Pendleton; for Mrs.
Taylor the attorneys we're James a. Fee
| and Ballary & McCourt.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS
BALFOUR, GUTHRIE & co. SHIP
TO NEW YORK CITY.
First Umatilla County Wheat Ship
ped to Eastern Metropolis Goes
From Athena.

To Athena probably belongs the honor
of making the first shipment of Una
tilla county wheat to New York City.
David Taylor has force of men at work
on 10000 shipment to the east
ern metropolis. 1t is being shipped in
bulk and is forwarded on order of Bal
four, Guthrie & Co., to Nye, jerks &
Co., of New York City, via Chicago
Umatilla county seeking an eastern
market is certainly new departure, in
asmuch as the cereal of this section has
always been dumped into the holds of
vessels for export.
Agent Taylor is authority for the
statement that the wheat now being
shipped cost Balfour, Guthrie & Co. 60
to 70 cents per bushel. That they could
not make even on. the export market is
evident from the act of seeking con-
nections in the Atlantic mark ct.
Other wheat has recently been ship
ped to the Chicago and New York mark
cts with favorable results re ported.

Senator Mitchell and Jack Matthews,
the local boss, have been far from cor
dial for long time past. The senator
probably appreciates the fact that the
defeat OF the Republican candidates for
sheriff and district attorney was largely,
II not chiefly, due to their known afiilia-
ton with the Matthews machine, and
that the machine has been badly Grip
pied by the loss Of these important
Offices and the patronage which they
