tic Infelicity-DOra Christensen
Says Her Jim Soon Forgot His Mar

leges Unfahhfulness.

Three tales of domestic unhappiness
are unfurled in as many divorce suits
that have just been filed in the cir
cult court. In each instance the wife
is plaintiff and makes sensational ard
unusual charges against her husband.
In a complaint filed yesterday by
Attorney c. T. Goodwin OF Milton, Mrs.
Dora Christensen charges that her
husband. James Christensen, forgot
his marriage VOWS within a few
months after his marriage at Milton
on May /, 1905. By July he had
changed completely in his attitude to-
wards his better half and became a
fault-finding spouse Among other
things he objected to his wife enter
tanning her relatives as visitors though
they were Lying in her fathers house
on the ground that they ate too much.
Refuses TO See Cousin.
Upon one occasion when girl cous-
in visited the family, Christensen re-
caused his wife much humiliation. In
December the defendant is said to
have left home and since that time
the plaintiff declares she has lived in
a state of happiness such as would
have been impossible with her hus-
band around.
Mrs. Christensen has two children
by a former husband, and she asks
for the return of her former name,

4 Freak OF Nature.

A year ago last fall the Milton
Nursery planted a peach pit that
grew and was budded during the fol-
lowing summer. Last fall Mrs. c. T.
Gizentanner bought the tree with a
number of others and planted them
in Pasco. Up to this time there was
nothing unusual noticeable about the
tree, but the genial climate and warm
sands of Pasco caused 1t to put forth
three blossoms. Now there are two
pairs of twins and triplets on the tree
where the blossoms were, making
seven peaches in all, and all growing
rapidly and are in good health, and
the mother acting as though nothing
had ever happened. The tag has been
removed from the tree and the name
lost, but the madam has rechrlsten-
ed it, and it Is now known as THE
Roosevelt Peach. ."-Pasco Express,

"SOONERS" GET HEARING
IN TIMBER CLAIM FIGHT.
Men Who "squatted" VIII Be Given
Chance.

Officials at the land office at Lake
view have had another complication
added to the litigation accruing from
the land rush of last fall. The new
complication Is in the shape of an or
der from the commissioner OF the gen.
eral land office instructlng the regis
ter and receiver to grant the "sooners'
a hearing, and the date for the same
has been set in June. The sooners
are the parties who went into the
woods about a year before the lands
were opened to settlement. posted no.
ices setting forth that they had appro-
priated the lands and began building
homes thereon. The restoration order
opening the lands to selection and set
tlement 30 days before they became
subject to filing, and prohibiting all
parties from settling on the same be-
fore the time set by the order, was
not made until some months after the
so-called "sooners" had made settle
ment upon the land. This being the
case 1t Is argued by their lawyers that
their settlement was not in conflict
with the order as It did not exist at
the time the settlement was made. The
fact that the "sooners" were granted
hearing by the commissioner is con-
sidered a concession that they have
some rights in the premises. ost OF
the lands known as Sooner claims
have several timber and stone home
stead filings on them. and in many in
stances contests have already been de-
cided by the Lakevlew office. The
"sooners" were not considered in the
past,
Several important land decisions
have been received lately, and in every
instance they have been adverse to the
homesetader in the timber belt. and ms
a result OF these decisions many par
ties holding claims in the timber are
relnquishing the same and placing
timber and stone filings.

MUSICAL CONCERT WAS
AN EXCEPTIONAL EVENT
Three Members of Whitman Con-
serVatory Are Rare Artists.

hAC
Last evening the music lovers OF
this city were especially favored by
the concert given in the Methodist
church, under the auspices Of Pen
dleton academy.
II Is very seldom that the people
OF Pendleton have the opportunity of
listening to artists of such rare abil-
ity as Miss Branscombe pianist. Mr..
williams violinist, and Mr.. Jackson,
vocalist, OF the Whitman conservatory
of music.
Miss Branscombe is not only a
brilliant concert pianist but is also
composer of high reputation and
ability. Her beautiful rendition Of
each selection make 1t almost impos-
sible to single out any one number
for especial mention, though she was
heard at exceptional advantage in her
own compositions, and was enthusi-
astically encored by the highly appre-
ciative audience. Her marvellous
ability was also shown in the artistic
and sympathetic way In which she
accompanied Mr.. Williams and Mr..
Jackson.
Mr.. Williams as a concert violinist
cannot be equaled in the northwest.
He played with wonderful sweetness
and power. n
Mr.. Jackson has voice OF excep-
tional range and strength. The best
rendered and most appreciated Of his
numbers was perhaps, ,.'The Two
Grenadiers," by Schumann.
The program throughout was of
high excellence. Every number was
received with enthusiastic applause.

SCIENTIST TALKS
TO G. v. i. STUDENTS
Ruins OF Crete and Relics
Secured Described by
ArchaeologiSt.

The members Of the Classical Club, of
George Washington University. together
with 300 friends, among them being Am
bassador and Mrs. Bryce, of the British
embassy, who were present as invited
guests, listened with deep interest last
night to stereopticOn lecture on THE
Aegean and Crete" delivered by Pros
ID. O., Hogarth. M A, probably tho
most distinguished Of the English arch
geological scholars
Prof. Hogarth was former director Of
the British school at Athens and is per
sOnally directing the archaeological re-
searches being made at Crete by the
British Museum. He is a fellow Of
Magdalene College. Oxford.
Prof. HOgartE said that when the ex-
plorations of Crete were first started
by the British Museum in 1900 1t was
thought after the work had progressed
to some depth, that what would be re-
vealed when the accumulated debris Of
centuries had been removed from the
buried city would be TO show a crude
fern OF civilization. with a religion
more Of fetish nature than anything
else. but subsequent discoveries showed
that the civilization. which undoubt eddy
dated back 1000 years B. c., was Of a
high order and compared with Medieval
European conditions IN a favorable
light
Among the treasures secured are a
number OF well preserved hieroglyphics
on stone and bronzes that contain much
OF value to the history Of the times in
which they were made. But so far
none or the expert scholars have been
able to decipher them.
Prof. Hogarth win deliver his lecture
before the faculty and student body Of
Princeton tomorrow night. after which
he viii return to oxford and a little
later resume his work Of excavations
