M. j. Perdue, in charge of the Meth

Large congregations assembled at
the church yesterday. In his sermon
in the morning he showed that the
church is the greatest institution in
the world; that it has in it the good
of any and all other institutions. That
Il. has the greatest mission on earth,
and that it will accomplish it's pur-
pose because God is the leader. He
said if every member were faithful
at all times the church edifices would
not hold the congregations, and in
conclusion he endeavored to effective
ly impress this question, What
would my church be if every member
were just like me?"
In his address to the men on
Secret Society,"" he commended what
is good in the secret orders, but
showed that deeper secrets are with
God and cannot be revealed by man.

land.
| There have been only two enter
fprises in Wenatchee that have spent
more money than the Entiat Light &
Power company, these are the We
natchee Bridge company and the high
| line canal.
Last year the power company ex-
pended $145,000 and has plans to
spend $4,000 yet. The plant is one
of the most modern throughout and
is equipped with double units SO
that no break downs can interfere
with their service. The company has
arranged to deliver 1000 horsepower
to Wenatchee and has still another
1000 horsepower left for commercial
purposes, irrigation, etc.
The entire 100000 capital was
brought from the east and represents
a clear gain for the community.
Thirty thousand of it has been spent
| in pay-rolls alone, and another $780,
600 has gone for transportation on
| the river, various supplies and for
other occasions of local expenditures.
Some of the money naturally had to
go back east again to pay for the ma
chinery, but the great bulk of it has,
or will be spent here.
The promoters of the enterprise
have unbounied faith in the future
OF this country and are only await
ing the developments of the next few
months in order to decide about
spending even more money. At pres
ent their plant is ample for the bust
ness, but they are ready to enlarge
it when the outlook warrants.
I'VE would have had power going
two weeks ago had not the strike
hindered us from getting certain ma
chinery and supplies. The city coun-
ell promptly extended the time on our
contract for 80 days more on the
strike showing, and the power will
be available before the time is up.

MANY MARRIAGES
INVALID
JUDGE FRAZIER OF SEATTLE
RENDERS DECISION IN REFER
ENCE TO DIVORCES WHO
MARRY OUTSIDE THE STATE.

Many marriages throughout CEN
trail Washington are probably invalid
and as a result there are many il.
legitimate children, and the whole
mess may cause some work for the
courts of the future.
Under a decision rendered by SUI
perior Judge A. w. Frater, of Seat
tie, this week in the divorce case OF
Mrs. Dora L. Pierce against Charles
Reuben Pierce, better known as
"Rube" Pierce-a Pike street saloon
keeper, their admitted offspring, 2
beautiful baby boy two years old, has
no name, no legal status-he's an il
legitimate child. Judge Frater re-
fused to grant Mrs. Pierce divorce,
holding that she was never legally
married to Pierce.
And this despite the fact that
Pierce and the woman were wed in
Victoria, B. c., in a manner legal I'M
der the British Columbia laws.
The point is that they disregarded
the laws of the state of Washington
by entering into marriage before six
months had elapsed subsequent to a
divorce secured by Mrs. Pierce from
Albert n. Porter, at Spokane, this
state. And because of this violation
an innocent child is branded as lille
ultimate.
Supreme Court Decision.
Judge Frater based his decision on
a recent opinion handed down by the
state supreme court. This tribunal
held that the law recognized no mar
riage of person divorced in the state
of Washington when the Divorce is
married within six months after the
divorce decree was granted-even
though this marriage was contracted
in a manner legal under the law a
some other state or country.
Thousands of Them.
1t is impossible to determine even
an approximate estimate of the num-
Der of remarked divorced persons in
the state of Washington, but a di-
vorce court lawyer, who has followed
the question somewhat, estimated
that rs per cent of those have re-
married within six months after the
divorce DEGREES were granted.
Every one of these marriages is il
legal and the issue of such marriages
are illegitimate, as illegitimates as
the Pierce child.
