INTERESTING INCIDENT IN THE
CRESSEY CASE
Judge Wilbur, His Court Clerk, STEM
oerapher and Attorneys Visit Resi-
dence and Listen to Mrs.
Cressey Testify

A decision in the petition for the ap-
pointment of a guardian to care for
Mrs. Nellie E. Cressey, fourth wife of
Capt Frederick J. Cressey, is expected
to be handed down today by Judge Will
bur in department of the superior
court.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Wilbur.
his court clerk. stenographer and at
torneys for both sides of the case Wis
tied the Cressey home in Gramercy
place. There Judge Wilbur conducted
the examination to determine the exact
state of the woman's mind, and upon
his visit and the evidence already given
in the case will he base his decision.
Capt Cressey is fighting the case
fighting the worlan's relatives, her
friends and neighbors and lighting
everyone who has had a hand in the
petition for the appointment of
guardian for his wife.
Counter-Charees Made
He has charged them with interfer-
ing in his family affairs and with being
meddlers, while they have charged the
ancient captain with having attempted
to kill his wife by gradually weakening
her condition and with having at
tempted to secure her money.
Mrs. Cressey is the captains fourth
wife and the captain is also her fourth
husband. They were married about 4
year ago, and shortly thereafter their
trouble began. Up to that time Mrs
Cressey had beens healthy hearty
woman, able to attend to the'many bust
ness dealings which she planned out, and
she had amassed little fortune, own"
ing a home at Venice and other prop
erty and money to the value of $4,000.
When it was learned by her relatives
that she had decided all the property to
her husband there was a general dis
turbance in the family, and the case
was investigated. 1t was alleged that
the captain, by the use of drugs, was
gradually driving his wife insane.
At the first hearing her brother was
told to look out for her estate, pending
an investigation by the court into her
condition.
Capt. Cressey at that time promptly
turned the property over to his wife
and retransferred the deeds 1t was
later testified in court that Capt. Cres-
sey had had his wife's life insured for
$4,000 and that he had made remarks

CARPETBAGGING.

The East Oregonian seriously OBJ
jccts to the appointment of Frank
Davey to be receiver of the Burns
land office, Notwithstanding the ex-
cuses of the Pendleton Tribune for
that act. Mr.. Davey has been a res
ident of western oregon for years,
has worked there, held office there
and built up what ever political
strength he possesses, there.
He is fine fellow, all right, and
will make a capable official in the
Burns land office, but the Oregon del
egation has made a mistake in giving
him an important appointment in
the extreme eastern Oregon county so
soon after his arrival there.
People will say that this office is
Davey's pay for past party services,
They will say that he did things at
Salem at the last session of the legis-
lature and this appointment is made
to square it up"
1t will hurt Davey politically to ac-
cept the office. 1t will hurt the re-
publican party to give it to him over
the heads of deserving pioneer resi-
dents of Harney county and it will
hurt any future hope which Davey
may entertain for political prefer
ment.
The people will not stand for this
thing of making political favorites
out of office seekers who are shifted
from one section of the state to an
other, for the sole purpose OF making
residence and sliding into office, as
reward for party service.
Let us be fair to the bona fide cit
liens of the different sections of the
state. Let us confer the honors COM
ing from appointments or elections
upon the actual residents of the va
rlous parts of the state. These migra-
tory office seekers should not have
preference over the men who live in
one place and help develop it and
make it what it is today.
Davey is a good fellow, all right,
but he is too new in Harvey county
to claim one of the best appointments
in eastern Oregon.
He should become "naturalized"
first.

FOR ORDERLY SALOONS.

Adolphus Busch, probably the lead
ing brewer of the country, head OF
the Anheuser-Busch brewery of st.
Louis, has taken a most advanced po-
sition on the liquor question. He
says:
From now on, l am stripped for
action in a new fight. Heretofore, II
has been a matter of business, of dol
lars and cents, of fierce competition.
From now on, / will strive to the ut
most of my resources to eliminate the
evils that have grown like weeds
around the business.
II cannot view with indifference
the opinions of my countrymen con-
cernlng an institution which is the
pride of my life. Hereafter. If the
eagle, which is the sign and mark OF
our house, shall be found in a re-
sort which is not orderly and law
abiding, it must come down. and /
will join in any process for the elimi-
nation of such a resort"
His declaration is said to be prac-
t'cally the sentiments and purposes
OF the Schlitz, Pabst and other great
brewery interests, all of whom were
represented at the New York confer
ence.-Chicago Record-Herald.

\ UNITED PACIFIC STATES.

The California Promotion commit
tee. one of the greatest boosting or
CARNATIONS on the Pacific coast, has
just adopted a resolution commend
ing the increasing spirit of co-opera-
tion among Pacific coast states.
A united Pacific states is one of
the greatest needs of the west. The
east, with keen foresight and con-
summate skill, has united for self
improvement regardless of political
lines and has secured superb results
as an outcome of its close organiza-
ton.
Little congressional districts in the
east, around whose entire borders a
congressman can walk before break
fast. have been able, through this or
ganization of eastern interests, to Sc
cure splendid results. Rivers have
been improved. harbors deepened and
enlarged, federal buildings erected
federal interests promoted, public
conveniences distributed with law
ish hand, all through the organiza-
ton and cooperation of the eastern
states.
Now let the west initiate this pro-
gressive and thrifty policy of the
Yankee. Let US look out for No.
a while. We have occupied but a
minor part in the national drama,
heretofore. Now let us blow a big
horn. Let us get together and make
ourselves heard in the distribution OF
rational favors.
The coast cities and great rivers of
the west need attention and the way
to secure this attention is to organize
for it.
Oregon, California, Washington,
Idaho and other western states should
have a close compact. Their interests
are identical. Their efforts should
be along the same lines.

THE LAND FRAUD FOG.

Evidently somebody is trying tc
create a fuss over the appointment
of a United. States district attorney
for Oregon, in which the real issue
the land fraud trials, will be lost in
.he fog.
The people are not interested In
the political struggle over the APP
pontment so much as they are in
terested in the issue-the early trial
Of the accused.
The president has started in to in
vestigate the land frauds and no
amount Of fog will lose his real in
tention. The longer the political
muddle the more insistent will be the
demands of the people for the COM
pletion of the job.
The public has just enjoyed slight
taste Of the frauds so far. There II
a desire to know how far-reaching
and serious they are, and there is a
demand for the imme dlate and fear
less prosecution Of the defendants,
no matter who they are or what
their standing.

"is at"

fair. 1t has a right to censure the
president for any seeming or appar-
ent delinquency, but It should be hon
est.
President Roosevelt engaged in the
regulation Of the trusts single-hand-
ed and alone among the leading
members of his party, when he en-
tered upon his term as president. He
had everything to loose and nothing
TO gain, IL he failed. He risked his
entire political career in that daring
program which has resulted in a
fairly good regulation and stirring
investigation of the biggest trusts in
the world
II he is dishonest, why should he
be playing to the galleries when he
could become rich and powerful much
more quickly by playing into the
hands of the trusts?
Why should he risk all his political
hopes in futile and vain stage play
when the path of opulence and afflu-
ence lies open to him as a trust SYM
pathizer?
1t seems that Roosevelt has made
too much of a sacrifice to be dishon-
est. The Democrat should play fair,
even with a republican. The presi-
dent has taken the bit in his teeth
and rode rough-shod over members
of his own party in achieving his OBJ
jects.
Men do not do these things for
fun, nor in insincerity. The game is
too great to be played in duplicity.
Men who take such a risk generally
mean what they say, and act solely
from principle.
Let us give Roosevelt credit for be-
ing honest. The trusts say that he is
an oppressive dictator. That is
enough evidence to prove to the
common people that he is their
friend.

TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND.

Select with care; the very young
and green varieties take longer to
prepare, but are often excellent when
done; those too crusty take a long
time to cook tender. One neither
hard nor yet very soft will give best
satisfaction.
Do not keep in a pickle, nor in hot
water, for even a little while. as this
toughens the fibre, retards the cook
ing and often spoils the result. Never
prick to test for tenderness, this
leaves a mark, and they are never so
smooth afterward.
Even the poorer varieties may be
made sweet and tender by the fol-
lowing method: Wrap in a mantle
of charity and keep warm over a
steady fire of loving domestic devo-
tion; garnish with patience, well
sweetened with smiles, and favored
with kisses to taste. Serve with
peaches and cream.-National Maga-
zine.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

Ho! the holiday season comes,
Piping of bugles and roll of drums.
Eyes of morning and lips that shine
April back to these lips of mine!
Ho! the holiday seasons here,
Flags and trumpets and songs OF

Holly wreathed with the mistletoe,
Loves soft cheeks with the roses
glow;
Boyhood, girlhood, babyhood sweet,
Ripple of laughter and ring of feet
Dancing down through the days Of

With love thrown over the wounds
of strife
And eyes so happy and lips all song,
And grief forgotten where home
hearts throng.
