A divorce case in Portland has
brought out the novel fact that a
state statute exists which provides
that all divorce suits must be given
ten days advance notice to the dis
trict attorney who is then supposed
to represent the missing party.
The law has been ignored for years.
A case brought Oh these grounds,
and sustained, would invalidate
many of the divorces granted in
Oregon for the past fivesyears. in

THE CORDON GLOBE
HlTcHcOCK dAD RE 4.
TYON.

Secretary Hitchcock, Of the mte-
rinr department, is reported as say
ing that the recent big republican
najori y in Oregon may be taken
as an endorsement Of his policy re-
va ding publit lands. The seere.
ry is either talking TO make .
noise or else be is as ignorant as q
Hottentot as regards the real stat.
rs OF his famops9 land policy in the
minds Of the people of this state,
o egonians, most emphatically, do
not endorse his policy and he has
NO occasion TO plume himselfiu
pride as being responsible for the
result Of the recent election. Had
,he present administrator been
obliged TO rest its case on Mr.,
Hitchcock's popularity in Oregon
it could have expected to come out
of the recent election looking like
,hirty cents. Undoubtedly it was
the intention Of the trainers of the
original homestead law to make il
possible for the rank and tile to nc
quire 160 acres Of government land
for their own use aud benefit with
out resorting to perjury or doing a
lot Of impossible things and also to
safeguard the public domain, so far
as possible, against the raids of
grafters, spectators and land
sharks Of every description. If
however, the policy now in vogue
has not resulted in reversing the
original purpose of the law then it
is useless to attempt to discover a
cause by tracing back from an eff
feet. Many Oregon voters are
from Missouri and Mr.. Hitchcock
will have to ''show them" several
things before they will believe that
they voted the republican ticket
this year because ofany special ad-
miration for his land policy.

GREAT BRITAIN
Is STILL ANGRY
Will Enter a, Fresh Protest at
ST. Petersburg.
RUSSIANS ARE NOT EXCITED
ADMIRALTY HAS NO DEFINITE
INFORMATION.

London, Aug. 24.-The British foreign
Office has not yet been able TO establish
the identity Of the Russian cruiser
which recently examined the papers OF
the British steamer Comedian of the
southeast coast of Cape Colony Tel
egraphic reports from the authorities
at Durham confirm the examination OF
the papers, but as-no person on board
the Comedian could read Russian char
acters difficulty has been found In de-
termining the name of the cruiser The
description given by the commander Of
the Comedian TALES with that of the
SnOlensk, but it might also be the de-
scription OF the converted liner Don.
The authorities are continuing the in
vestigatiOn but pending a settlement
OF the all-important question whether
the Smolensk conducted the search.
Great Britain IS unable TO act as de-
terminedly as, is is asserted at the for
eign office, she would be entitled to If
the fact were definitely established.
There is reason 10 believe that Am
bassadOr Hardinge viii make inquiries
at St. Petersburg, and he may even go
so far as TO express the hope that nei-
Their the Smolensk nor the st. Peters
burg are continuing the examination Of
neutral vessels contrary to the assur-
ances given by Russia. IN any event
it is said that the ambassador will en-
ter fresh protest against the exam
iuation of a neutral snip al a point so
distant from the scene Of hostiiities.

The old man for whom I worked
some years ago had a unique way Of
making out towns to which his drum

and select the towns which he thought
were good, solely by the size Of the
DOT which represented the town. II
the dot was large he imagined that
the town was large. but II he could not
see the dot without a microscope he
had an idea it was not worth looking
at. Well. one day I was given out
