The marriage was not happy. 1t
was the fashion in those days-set
by the profigate French court of
Versailles-for princes to amuse
themselves with as many women as
they chose. and George followed the
fashion. A less spirited and more
docile princess than Sophia Doro-
thea would have put up with her
neglect, would have crushed out her
jealousy, devoted herself to her
prayers and her children and would
have shared her husbands honors,
but Sophia Dorothea was not that
sort of princess.
Count Konigsmark, one of the most
fascinating men of his time, was
much at court. He and the neglected
princess had been in love with each
other as children. He saw his OPP
portunity and when the princess was
twenty eight and Konigsmark was
thirty-two their secret attachment
was discovered The guilty couple
planned to escape together, but or
the night of their last interview,
when the horses and carriages were
waiting for the eiopement, and kon-
igsmark was making the last secret
arrangements, four spies of Sophia''
wronged husband set upon Konigs
mark and brutally assasinated him

week she was divorced from her
husband and quietly taken away and
imprisoned in the Castle of Ahlden.
Here she was confined for thirty
two years. She was known as the
Princess Of Ahlden. And her husband
who became king of England and
her son, who succeeded him as
George H.. never spoke her name
again.
So it was that a prince Of num-

the property good coal land?" He
was told that it was.

coal especially suitable for the needs

it was.
Once more he questioned. Have we
sufficient money in the treasury to
buy the land2" He was told that the
funds were ample for that purpose.
That was all that he wanted to know.
He immediately advised purchasing
the land and said that he wanted TO
go on record as favoring the purchase
of any good coal or oil property when
ever there was money available for
that purpose, because the Almighty
did not make fresh supplies Of coal
and iron ore.
His advice was taken, the land was
bought and only a few years later it
was estimated TO be worth consider
ably over a million dollars.

in Washington all summer because

Apple Growers of Hood River Dis
trlct Try to Deal With Rival
Oregon Sales Agencies.

HOOD RIVER, OREG., Sept. 20
The North Pacific Fruit Exchange has
entered the Hood River field for the
first time In competition with the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors for
the handling of the Hood River Val
ley apple crop this season that will
approximate 900, 600 boxes.
1t is learned that a large number
who signed up for the distributors
are crawling out of their contracts
by selling their crops to their wives
who did not sign the original con-
tracts, and they in turn are signing
up half with the exchange and half
with the distributors.
On this basis 1t Is figured that
whichever concern reports the best
returns this season will control the
valleys output for next season. 1t
Is reported that the matter of "luk-
ing" out Of contracts by selling the
crop to wives who did not sign the
original contracts may be tried in the
courts.
