Mrs. Rigo was served on Tuesday last
with a summons in the suit that Mrs,
Martin has instituted against her. The
suit is based upon a statement that Mrs.
Rigo made in New York last month In
which she declared that Mrs. Martin had
thrust herself upon her, declaring that
she Mrs. Rigo, was really the Princess
de Chimay, who was trying to conceal
her identity; that she was the mother OF
fifteen-year-old boy, whose parentage
she refused to acknowledge

America and Europe, changing names
constantly in order that she may es-

thereby killing the old name of Prin-

Rigo and Mrs. Casper Emerson at the
cafe of the Waldorf-Astoria they We're
for months before constantly seen in

driving in the park in hanson with

princess de Chimay had changed her
entire appearance, had all the skin
burned from her face in order to
erase the crimson stain that was
tattooed there; and also her arm was
burned in order to erase the coat of
arms Of the Chimay family and RIGGS
name. and she was so fearful of the
outcome that she (the Princess de
Chimay) paid her maid 500 to first
try the experiment"

men and also stated that under no
consideration would the local men
work with nonunion operators in the

THOUGHT JAP WAR WAS ON.
But it was Only a House Warm-
ing-How Long Acted.

Millard M. Long and bride
were the victims OF very happy
surprise, Tuesday evening, at
their home on Eighth and Jack

heard long and terrific peal at

might be Japs on the warpath, a

we'd his pretty bride to hide be-
hind the kitchen door while he
marched boldly forward to edo or

He cautiously opened the trout
door a half inch, and beholding
the smiling countenance of hand
some Floyd Huff decided to admit
the intruder, remarking cordially,
"That's just like you, old man,"
mea ling the awful ringing of the
bell. But as Huff walked into the
house go more silent forms doomed
up out of the darkness and filed in
behind him. 1t is the firm belief
of all that Mr.. Long was on the
point of boiling for the back door,
but happening to notice familiar
face or two he braced up, and
finding that the crowd was made
up of the Christian Endeavorers
of the Congregational church, a
society of which he is the es.
teemed president, he drew deep
breath, smiled a little bilious
smile and said weakly, 81 guess

6"ding it was not the Japs, he
went to call Mrs. Long.

passed in a delightful. social way

hid been provided in advance by

Rev. Albert Monosmith, on be-

the host and hostess with hand

token of the warm regard in
which they are held by their
friends.
After several hours of merri-

AN ALLEY EPISODE.
Water in Plenty but Horses Suf-
fer With Thirst.

Two women from the country
were standing in an alley in Cor.
wallis, holding a team of horses
and talking, a few days ago
They had come in alone from
their homes, and had put their
horses in an empty barn belong
ing to an acquaintance. There
was no place there, however, to
water tue thirsty animals that
had travelled probably eight or
ten miles through the heat and
dust. -- ----- ---.--.-.--r
The writer accidentally over
heard the conversation which
was something like this: Said
one lady, 81 do wish I knew
where 1 could water these poor
horses. 1t will be dreadful to
have to drive them home with
out watering them, but there is
no place that l know of except
that one faucet and you can't.
drive horses up to drink there"
Eyes, there is place to water
horses some where here in town,
for l heard it talked of once; but
the Lord only knows where it
is" was the answer of the second
party, after which they moved
on up the alley, still talking.
This is no fairy tale nor is it
dream, but a fact, and a signi6-
cant one that should catch the
attention of more than one
thoughtful reader.
With Corvallis already pro-
vided with one of the best noun
tain water systems on the coast
and an inexhaustible supply cf
pure cold water, is it not indeed a
deplorabie state of affairs that
horses must be driven to town
and home again to the country
without drop of water to relieve
their thirst? Surely few dol
lars might be invested in a plain
wooden trough, centrally located,
where animals could be driven.
up and given cool, refreshing
drink after hot, dusty drive.
If men must do without foun-
tains of bronze and cups of silver
and still frequent the one
lone faucet with its donated cup
of tin, at least let Corvallis pro-
vide place and supply of
water for the dumb animal that
cannot speak for itself. If not
fountains, then give US troughs.
