MENAclNG REEFS TO GO OUT OF
COLUMBIA BELOW THE
DALLES.
Work Was Started Yesterday by AS
sistant Engineer David B. o.

The work. of clearing the Columbia
river below The Dalles of several
rocky reefs that have caused consider
able annoyance to steamboat men the
past few years, was started yesterday
by David B. Ogden, assistant United
States engineer and force of men
upon receipt of word from Washing
ton that fund had been set aside for
doing the work.
Captain Winslow, master Of the
dredge Wallowa, is personally superin-
tending the work. His first move was
to get plant moored over the rocks
on which a number of river steamers
have almost been wrecked recently
After holes have been drilled in them
an attempt will be made to blow them
out of the channel by means of dyna-
mite. Captain Wonslow has had a
great deal of experience in this line

learned that there are two reefs of
rocks, which have gwen the steamboat

thought that the work can be COM

said that the rest of the month may be
required.

CHARLES PARIS HASTENS FROM
WILDS OF ALASKA TO
DEFEND SUIT.
Arriving in WaIla WaIIa Christmas He
Found His Wife Had Been
Granted Decree.

Directing to the manner in which his
wife, Lulu Paris, obtained a divorce
from him while he was struggling in
the wilds of PARKWAY Alaska to make
fortune, that they might live in COM
fort the rest of their days, Charles
Paris, who is well-known young
man about town, yesterday, through
his attorney H. S. Blandford, petition
ed Judge Brants to vacate the decree
of divorce granted by the Walla Walla
superior court last September, and give
MIN an opportunity to answer the COM
plant filed originally by Mrs. Paris
Mrs. Paris set up in her complaint
that Mr.. Paris had removed to Fair
banks, Alaska; that ne had not con-
tributed toward her maintenance since
his departure for the gold fields and
that he had treated her in a cruel and
mhuman manner. Mr. Paris admits
that he went to Alaska, but alleges
that it was with the full consent of
Mrs. Paris. for the purpose of engag-
ing in business in the far north and
establishing a residence and home
there for himself and wife, and that
Mrs Paris voluntarily and cheerfully
promised to go to Fairbanks and make
her home there with her husband as
soon as he could earn sufficient money
to pay ner transportation. He says
she accompanied him to Seattle, where
he took the boat, and bade him an
affectionate farewell Mr.. Paris al
leges that he fully relied on the prom
Uses of his wife and that they were
never revoked by either of them prior
TO the commencement Of the action for
divorce begun by Mrs. Paris AS to
the charges that he had not cOntri-
buted toward his wife's support or
provided her with a home this is
denied in toto Mr.. Paris alleging that
he sent her $3.50 and provided her with
a nome with his parents before leaving
Walla Walla. This, he says, was salts
factory to his wife when they parted.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-01-18

Mr.. Paris further alleges that his wife
is not dependent upon relatives for
support, but has in her own right an
Independent fortune, sufficient to pro-
vide her with the necessaries and even
luxuries of life.
Worked Hard in Alaska.
Mr.. Paris says that Immediately af-
ter recovering from the sufferings and
hardships of his trip into Fairbanks he
began work at fair wages and labored
diligently to earn $50 which he for
warded to his wife, and at all times
while in Alaska he labored faithfully
and industriously to earn money for
her support and to pay her way to
Fairbanks. During his residence in
Fairbanks, Paris says, his wife cor
responded regularly with him, her let
tiers being of an affectionate and en-
dearing nature, and that she frequently
expressed the hope that ne would make
his home in Alaska and would send
for her. Suddenly, however, Mr. Par

S. c. WOODRUFF HAS QUI, JOB
AT THE STEIIACOOM
ASYLUM.
nor's Plan of Transferring
Brother n-Law BeaI.

Another move in the Steilacoom in
sane asylum turmoil has come to
light with the statement that 5. G.
Woodruff has resigned as steward of
that institution. Mr.. Woodruff's resig-
nation was given weeks ago. 1t is to
take effect March l. Mr.. Woodruff, so
it is said. became dissatisfied some
time ago He found that his duties
as steward were sadly curtailed, and
that nothing he was permitted to do
would bring about the desired economy
at the asylum, says the Tacoma News.
For the first eight months of the Van
Zandt administration, the cost of
maintenance per patient, per day, has
it is said exceeded the cost at the asy-
lum at Medical lake. This is the first
time this has happened in the history
of the two asylums. There are more
patients at Steilacoom, but the cost of
supplies at Medical lake is always fig
ured on a higher scale.
Mr. Woodruff is regarded by many
as the most competent steward the
state has ever had at Steilacoom Yet
he could not prevent the increase in
expense He concluded then, it is said,
that ne could not keep the place and
conduct it on political, rather than
business basis. So he resigned.
Governor Didn't Ask It.
This step was taken long before
Dr. Farmer left or the present COM
plicatons began. 1t was not taken,
though, at the request of the governor
or the board of control. 1t clears the
way, however, for the transfer of the
governors brother-in-law, G. N. Beal
now adjutant at the Soldiers nome at
Orting, and whose retention there has
aroused the anger of the G. A. R., to
the stewardship at Steilacoom And
there is now little reason to doubt that
this transfer will be made. Whether
or not Mrs. Beal will succeed to the
post of matron at the asylum, a place
held by Mrs. Charles Herman of Wal

WELL WORTH THE PRICE.

From Albuquerque Journal.
who has been visiting Albuquerque
tells Of the satisfaction of Durango
merchants and citizens with the re-
suit of the strict enforcement Of the
anti-gambling law. This Colorado
man says hat since the cid" has
been closed down upon Durango, bus
mess conditions have improved mate
rally. The merchants say that their
collections have been larger and
more regular. There has been a de-
crease in violations Of the law, and
ton, the people of Durango would
not suffer q return to the old condi-
TONS. The suppression Of gambling
in Ell Paso has resulted to the salts
faction of the business interests of
that town. The closing of the games
in Tucson has had a beneficial effect
upon that growing community.
In every town in the West where
open gambling has held sway for
years, the closing of the games has
worked for the immediate benefit of
the community.
The effect OF the passage and en-
forcement of the Littlefield anti-gam-
bling law, which it seems the present
congress will enact in a very short
time, will be beneficial financially
and morally to Albuquerque and to
every town in New Mexico.
Should a temporary arrangement
of the finances of our school system
result, as is predicted, we will have
to meet the Inconvenience as best
we can, knowing as we all do that it
is a cheap price to pay for the 'correc-
ton OF the greatest defect i n our so
cial system.
