Peck said he had, but considered II

that he must tell il. The witness then
said that he went TO the executive

MRS. MACKAY'S FRIENDS
TELL STORY Of BREACH
Attitude Of Silence Changed to
Protect Name of BONANZA
Kings" Daughter -ln-LaW.
DIR. BLAKE NOT TO BLAME
Harbor Hill Property Partly
Surrendered by Wife to Ap-
pease Husband-Hears from
Children in Europe.

Mrs. Clarence II. Mackay's friends
broke silence Yesterday in a most en-
phatic way. They put an entirely new
light on the million dollar alienation
suit Of Mrs. Catherine Ketcham Blake,
who charged that her husband. the
eminent surgeon. was captivated by
Mrs. Mackay.
Mrs. Mackay communicated with a
number Of her close friends In New
York. and while they woud not be
quoted and would not even say that
Mrs. Mackay wanted anything to be
known OF her position. this is authort-
tativc.
Or. and Mrs. Joseph a. Blake were
separated for eighteen months or two
years before Clarence II. Mackay called
in Or Blake as his physician. DR..
Blake subsequently operated on Mr..
Mackay twice This was the beginning
Of the close acquaintance that led TO
the present breach between the mem
bers Of the two families.
Mr. Mackay became annoyed when
the tongues Of others began 10 wag so
hard that they attracted his attention.
Gossip finally got on his nerves and
caused him 20 take action.
BONANZA Kings Gift.
The return of the Harbor Hill home
by Mrs Mackay TO her husband had
Just this to do with the present affair:
Mr.. Mackay long wanted TO recover
this bit Of property, which his father.
John w. Mackay. the "bonanza king"
gave 10 Mrs. Katherine Duer Mackay
bis sons wife. He owned all the rest
of the splendid estate and he wanted
10 have title 10 the whole. There was
some little talk between the husband
and wife in regard 20 DR.. Blake. but
nothing serious.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Mackay felt that
by yielding to her husband in this she
might heal the breach and smooth
everything over. so she signed away
her rights in a manner. but not en-
tirely. for no money passed and the
property was absolutely her own.
John w Mackay, father Of Clarence,
gave his wife home with some of the
first money that he made after he was
married. and he wanted his daughter
in-law To have home also. II was his
idea that one never knew what might
happen to a man, and 1t was well for
his wife TO have a home.
When Mrs. Mackay came back from
Europe this year she was on good
terms with her husband. so far as she
knew. There was no open break and
She had no cause 10 think a break
would occur.
Or. Blake did not go TO Europe with
Mrs. Mackay. He was never out of
America in her absence in Europe. He
went abroad not as Mr.. Mackay's ply
sician. but as his friend.
Whether the differences between Mr..
and Mrs Mackay shall be patched up
was said to depend largely upon the
course Of Mrs. Blake. Before Mr..
Mackay went abroad he said he would
stand back OF his wife in this trouble.
and he so informed their lawyers.

matter. so far as legal aspects were
concerned, was now In the hands OF

The tug, gayly decorated. in the
roomy lock chambers appeared like a
tov boat in a tub. Its navigation was
personally supervised by w. c. Com
ber. head of the dredging operations Of
the canal. The vessel was raised 10
the middle level at 5:43 p. m. and
passed into the upper chamber at G:15
Then. at Gao p. m, the last gate was
evune and. although the tropic night
lad fallen. the waiting crowd remained
and watched the tug sail out on the
placid waters Of Gatun Lake. The
rousing demonstration OF the early
afternoon was then repeated.
The massive jOO-ton leaves of the
lock gates performed their functions

and nicely of a well oiled door.

CANNERy IS PROMISED 0ROv|LLE PRODUCERS
BUSINESS GROWING

Owing to the increased demand for
his product, j. H. Killian proprietor
of the Oroville Cigar Factory has been
compelled to arrange for larger quar-
ters and has employed A. E. Schultz
to asst him in carrying on the busi-
ness. Mr.. Schultz will spend his time
on the road placing orders, and a pre-
liminary trip has given him strong en-
couragement to hope for greatly in
creased business.
Mr.. Killian is cigar maker of many
years experience and he puts a stock
in his product that appears to appeal
strongly to the taste of devotees to
the habit. He established his factory
here about year ago, and he has al
ready succeeded in building up a graf
flying trade. Since the first of jan
uary the new orders have been grow
ing rapidly and the demand from older
customers has been greatly enlarged.
Considering the manner in which the
business has jumped in the past two
months, Mr.. Killian feels the necessity
OF preparing to greatly enlarge his out
put, and is justified in going after the
business throughout this part of the
state.

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION

Construction on the Oroville-We-
natchee branch was pushed past Ton
asket Friday of last week, and steady
progress has been made since. A
threatened tie up of work because of
shortage of ties has been avoided and
material is coming in in sufficient
quantities to keep the crews busy at
the front. Word comes from Wenat-
chez that the contractors on the We
natchee-Pateros end of the line are
proceeding rapidly and there is every
reason to expect the grade and rock
work to be completed between those
two points by June 1st, when track
laying will probably be started. This
news gives encouragement to the hope
that the line will be completed and in
operation from Oroville to Wenatche
considerably in advance of the final
date fixed in the extension of time
granted by the interior department
recently.

building. ,..
Our plans contemplate a building
that will be flexible and expansable,
one that can be added to without any
alterations of the first building. Our
preliminary plans will be submitted
soon for consideration of the electors.
AS to taxes, this bonded indebted
ness will increase our taxes not more
than one mill for the present They
are now Z mills for school, and 1875
for roads. The state law provides
that, 1T Is the duty Of the board of
county commissioners at the expira-
tion of one half the time for which the
bonds are to run, to levy an amount
the payment of the bonds at maturity,
to be determined by dividing the
amount of bonds outstanding by the
remaining number of years the bonds
are to rum" Paragraph three, page Sc
school officers Year Book The bonds
for which we are voting may run for
20 years. and no levy is made to meet
this Indebtedness for ten years. In
ten years our district should be worth
from $4,00O,O0O to $5,000,000. when a
one mill levy would pay this debt in
less than six years. The state will
buy school bonds at s per cent. At
the present valuation Of our district,
a one mill levy would pay the interest.
We pay out enough this year for rent
ing and repairing old buildings to pay
the interest on 100000 at that rate.
Again If we have an accredited high
school we draw from the state $500
a year for each accredited grade main
tained. With a first class school
here, contiguous districts will likely
consolidate with US. This would en-
title us to 5000 from the state for each
district joining us. Besides a good
school would draw people from the
surrounding rural districts who would
come to Oroville for school privileges.
