a CASE IN POINT.

We have often commented on the in
consistency of the marriage laws of
the various States. and the consequent
confusion and often something worse
that results from diverse laws The
Pittsbury Post gives this instance:
Emphasis Is again put upon the
shameful chaos in marriage laws OF
the different States by the published
story that the California girl who mar
ried Japanese the other day had to
the union could legally take place.
Now that the couple are married they
are free to go into any State and live
here in spite of the fact that the laws
OF such States may prohibit huch mar
riages. And the same notification OF
differences in the statutes concerning
consanguinity, aga and parental con-
sent prevail.
This action. as The Post points out.
was a complete notification Of a State
law. AS we understand 1t. a Japanese
and an American girl cannot marry in
California, but here they betook them
selves to another state where they
were legally married; then they re-
turned to California and are legally
man and wife there. This is only a
specimen example, but II shows how
the marriage laws Of one State may be
nullihed or avoided by a visit to an

where it is hullei, roasted and sealed
in practically air tight packages. Ii

MOHAIR POOL ASSEMBLED
Will Aggregate Between rs, 600 and
$4,000 Pounds When All Has
Been Weighed.

The work of gathering in the mo-
hair of the 1909 pool Of the Polk County
Mohair Association is nearly COM
pleted and practically all Of the mohair
has been weighed in at the various
shipping places in the county ap-
pointed by Fl. L. Fenton, who is hand
ling the work OF assembling and ship
ping the pool this year.
Mr.. Fenton urges all mohair growers
to weigh in their product before the
end of this week, so that the business
may be wound up as soon as possible.
At the time OF the sale OF the pool
last Tuesday it was estimated that it
would amount to about $4,000 pounds.
This estimate was based on the size OF
the 1908 pool which was about $4,000.
At the time of its sale, however, no
definite figures could be secured con-
cerning the 1909 pool, on which a
certain estimate of its size could be
based.
The weighing in last week shows
that the pool contains between $4,000
and $4,000 pounds over SO per cent
more than the estimate made earlier
in the season. Compared with this
enormous pool, the smaller ones sold
recently in Hillsboro, Scio and other
places, ranging from 1000 to 5000
pounds, appear insignificant.
The mohair has been weighed in at
seven different shipping points in
Polk county. from which it will be
sent direct to Portland. The places OF
weighing in and the amount of mohair
approximately received at each point
are as follows; Airlie, $4,000 pounds
Sheridan, $4,000 pounds; Dallas,
10000 pounds; Amity, 5000 pounds
Monmouth, 1000 pounds; Ballston,
1000 pounds; Perrydale, 1000 pounds.
