that If he had been sober he would
not have married Dunphy also said to
Meredith that while he was anxious
not to offend his mother he would not
leave his wife. At his request Mere
dith saw Mrs. Dunphy Sr., and urged
her to become reconciled to the mar
riage.
Meredith read this affidavit during
his argument in Judge Graham's court
in support of Dunphy's motion to re-
open the divorce case. Meredith based
his argument mainly on the contention
that Mrs. Dunphy's third divorce was
not legal, and that therefore she is
still the wife of Julius Silverstone of
Portland. According to her own affi-
davit the then Mrs. Coffey married
Silverstone at Stevenson, Wash, in
January, 1898. and got a divorce from
him in Portland in April of the same
year Meredith says under the laws
of Oregon she would have to remain
in that state year before she could
sue for divorce. Charles W. Slack, Mrs
Dunphy's attorney, will argue in re-
ply Wednesday afternoon.

.LUMBERMEN WANT
new ORGANIZATION
Committee of Merchants Ex-
change Suggests Inspection
Bureau for Pacific Coast
United Action Urged to Prevent
Confusion and Help Buyers
and Shippers

One central committee. to be known
as the lumber inspection bureau OF the
Pacific coast, was recommended yes
teTday by the lumber inspection COM
nittee of the merchants exchange in
its report TO James Rolph Jr.. presi-
dent of the exchange. The committee
suggested that committees from the
Pacific lumber inspection bureau and
the Oregon and Washington inspection
bureau should meet with a committee
from the merchants exchange in an
attempt to effect an organization that
would work for the entire Pacific coast.
Owing TO the fact that there are two
inspection bureaus on the coast and
that they are not working in harmony.
considerable confusion has been created
in the minds of the buyers. particu-
larly the foreign buyers, which causes
the disadvantage to the lumber manu-
facturers and shippers of the Pacific
coast.
If the recommendations of the COM
mittee of the merchants exchange are
carried out, the inspection will be done
by inspectors paid by the shipping
men and importers and the report OF
the tallymen and inspectors Will be
final This change from the present
inspection methods would. it is said.
benefit not only San Francisco. but the
entire coast. as both buyer and seller
would be protected
1t was argued at yesterdays meeting
that some of the northern coast cities
would object to the proposed bureau
and that they would decline 10
join it.
Louis A. Ward. one of the members
Of the committee. declared that there
was no jealous feeling on the part OF
the other coast cities. He said he 'felt
confident that they would become mem
bers of the proposed bureau when il
was demonstrated 10 them that IL
would be beneficial.
The committee which recommended
the new inspection bureau consists OF

The Dinner Menu
Food Notes

Clean and UncIean Meats-Profane
history tells US that the ancient Egyp-
tians forbade the use of unclean"
meat and only the meat of "clef.a" an
imals could be used in offerings or be
eaten. Sacred history tells us that
Moses prohibited the Israelities from
eating rat, blood, and the meat of the
hog. The Talmud, which was edited
by learned Jews about A. D. 8, pre-
scribed the Jewish method of slaught-
ering animals. The Phoenicians alb
stained from eating the meat of cows
and hogs, but feasted on the meat of
dogs. The Babylonians are said to
have had detailed regulations govern
ing diet. The Grecians. the Romans
and the Mohammedans each had meth
ods and laws regulating meat diets.
In the middle ages the Germans in
augurated a system which has led t
her present efficient methods, and
France, England and America adopted
the best parts of the German system.
In fact. all meat eating nations are
awakened to the necessity of meat in
spection.
