Pourie gave the luncheon at the Moana
hotel, and IA guests were seated at
the circular table, which was decorated
with yellow chrysanthemums. A large

Anderson was delightful compliment
to Mrs Albert Bettens. The luncheon
for II guests was laid in the blue
tapestried lunchroom. The touch of
yellow blending with the old blue on
the walls was accentuated in the floral
decorations of golden chrysanthemums,

heads impartially in all directions from a

The mezzanine floor was used be-

tea A yellow scheme was effectively
used there also. From the floor tall,
graduated baskets held clusters of
French grasses and the chrysanthe-

fancy tables and stands held the same

The Astor divorce has caused no
little comment everywhere, although
the proceedings were conducted quietly
land with the least possible advertise
ment. One writer in the east, whose
keen remarks apropos of divorce
among the rich are worthy of repeti-
ton, muses. in the following strain:
Just think Of the Astors doing so
very wild and woolly' thing as to
get divorce Of course, their in
felicities-which are no news to any
one who watches the signs of the
times-were preordained; for it was
quite an open secret at the time of
their marriage that while the young
man, who, soft dit en- passant, was not
then considered prepossessing fromR
sgirPs standpoint, was madly in love
with the beautiful and patrician Eva
Willing, it took some time, much seri-
Gus thought and maternal argument to
bring the young girl to give UP loves
young dream for the Astor millions.
Her dream at that time, you know,
was judicial dream, highly legal but
poor. All sorts of stories were told
at the time to the disadvantage of the
winning millions-for the world loves
a lover-theoreticaly of course. and
always for the other fellow, though
practically and for himself, every man
chooses the millions every time.
After his marriage, however, Col
onel Astor seems to have developed
into man of parts and in certain
lines even of decided ability, SO that,
having reached middle life, there now
seemed to be no probability of any
thing happening to interfere with the
vie deux,' which, after all, among
millionaires, need not be any more a
deux than one wishes to make 1t.
Really l never could see the neces-
sity. for divorce among the well bred
wealthy-unless there is an affinity in
the case. When two people, however
antagonistic they. may be--live in

IMPORTANT LAND
OFFICE DECISION
SQUATTERs WHO MAKE BONA
FIDE RESIDENCE WILL NOT
BE oUsTED.

Attorney D. w. Sheahan has re-
ceived the decision of Register Frank
c. Bramwe!l of the U. s. land office
at La Grande, by which his client,
Fin'ey NJ. Newton, a squatter in
township A n, Al, is given preference
over Guy M. Byrkit, who made tim
Der and stone entry last September
when the land was thrown open to
settlement.
The decision is of the utmost i'm
portance, and will be hailed with
joy by the 80 or 40 squatters who
settled in the township prior to Sep
tember Is last, and have made homes
and other improvements.
The gist of the decision is that Ian
settled on by bona fide settlers,
whether it is chiefly valuable for
timber or not, is not subject to en-
try under the timber and stone act
The language of Register Bramwell
is as follows:
That the land embraced in the en-
try was occupied, inhabited and con-
tanned improvements belonging to
the protes ,ant in this case, Finley
M. Newton, when entry was made
therefor by protestee, Guy M. Byrkit.
2. That the land was not subject
to entry under the Timber and
Stone Act on September Is, 1908,
it being shown that the land was oc-
cupied, inhabited and contained i'm
provements which did not belong
to the applicant.
The Newlon-Byrkit case was heard
last December and was one of the
hardest fought in the history of
the La Grande office. D. w. Shea
han of this city was attorney for
Homesteader Newton, while c. H.
Finn of La Grande represented Byr-
kit. The taking of testimony requir-
ed two weeks time, 29 Witnesses be-
ing examined, and the testimony TAX
ing over 400 pages of manuscript.
The decision of Register Bramwell
takes 10 type written pages.
While each separate case will have
to be heard singly, the decision gives
marked precedence. 1t recognizes
the rights of squatters who are legiti-
mate in their development work. If
all squatters who have filed protests
produce evidence as convincing as did
Newton, that actual development and
improvement took place on the land
on which they squatted, there seems
to be little hope for the timber men
who made the filings. However, the
improvements must have been made
with intent to make that particular
tract bona fide home.
There is an appeal from the de-
cision of the register, but unless
made in 80 days or set aside by the
general land Office commissioner,
Bramwe,rs decision stands as final.
Another Important Decision.
Another important decision by Reg
lister Bramwell, in which however,
the timber entry-man was victori-
Gus, was handed down Saturday. II
was the case of Frederick F. Metz
ler, protestant. VS., A. B. O'Brien,
protestee, involving O'Brien's timber
entry on the " ne Y and " Sc
v of the same township. 4 n. Al.
