VETERAN SEEKS DIVORCE,
SEPARATED FIFTY YEARS
Especial to Times Recoroer)

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, May L.
Edward Cook, a veteran of the civil
war, concluded that fifty years was
long enough time to wait for his wife,
Annie E. Cook, to return to him and
today filed a suit for divorce with Miss
Grace Fisher, clerk OF the district
court. In the petition Cook states he
was married in November, 1864, and
that in less than year afterward, in
1865. his wife left him and had not
lived with him since that time. The
petition filed in the court does not
tell all the story.
The marriage of Cook in New York
in the fall of 1864, while he was home
on furlough was devoid of any specis
romantic features but he found when
the war was over and he wanted to
settle down to housekeeping that his
wife would not live with him.
He left his old home and lived man,
years in Michigan, and finally came to
Kansas. In the interval he completely
lost track of his wife and thought she
was dead until he was reminded
through the pension bureau in Wash
ington that his wife was not only liv-
ing, but had made application for
division of his pension.
This was a little too much for the
patience of Cook, who decided that
while he could endure Mrs. Cooks
prolonged absence from his side, he
cid not care to share his pension with
her. The suit for a divorce will BE-
in the nature of a formal notice to
Mrs. Cook that at last all is over be-
tween them.

ERECT MEMORIAL TO
WIRELESS HEROES
Especial to Times-Recorder)

NEW YORK, May 12.-In memory of
the wireless operators who have lost
their lives in the performance of duty,
the Jack Phipps Titantic memorial

American warships, units of the At
lantic fleet at anchor in the Hudson
River, and from innumerabla merch-

men and other prominent officials and
representative citizens spoke words of
praise for the dead heroes
The memorial has been given a con-
spicuous site on the west side of the
United State Barge Office, facing Bat
terry Park, the funds for its erection
were collected by the wireless opera
tors on Atlantic and coastwise steam
ships on both oceans, to which were
added the contributions of many citi-
zens. The memorial consists of white
granite basin and pedestal weighing
twelve tons, and fianked on either side
by two broad, granite seats with fir
trees in the background. There is also
a granite cenotaph six feet high, on
which will be inscribed the names of
all wireless operators who have lost
their lives while on duty, to serve as 4
record of their bravery and to inspire
others to emulate their example in the
time of danger. The names now on the
memorial are:

Ore Reduction
Works Planned

Hon. Jas. G.. Berryhill is expect
ed here early in June to look over
his Irwin mining properties and
formulate plans for resuming oper-
ations in that district. Among the
several advantages had in the old
Irwin camp is the proximity of the
railroad to the mines, abundant
mine timbers, good roads from the
mines to the railway loading point
and fine water power from Lake
Brennan, located in the center of
the district. Another important
feature lies in the fact that the ores
are all of high grade in character,
and the mineral when separated

Big Strike in the
Doctor Mine.

Mr.. c. S. Gilbert, OF Aspen, les
see OF the old Doctor mine, was here
this week looking after teams to
haul ore from this property. 1t is
reported that q large body of high
grade zinc ore i:as been encoun-
tered in the mine and 4 large pro-
ductioL is assured. During the
winter work has 6een going forward
developing the new ore shute which
has been exposed, showing Il width
of<twenty-five feet of shipping ore.
1t is thought that twenty fours may
be kept busy hauling to the railroad .
The Doctor property was a large
producer OF sand carbonates of lead
ore for over twenty years, and this
striking ri a new ore body carrying
high zinc values should become a
bonanza to the lessees owing to the
big prices now ruling for all zinc
ores. which is nearly double that Of
less than a year ago.

Civil War. Horse Still
Survives.

The oldest horse that served the
country in the War Of the Rebellion
is still alive ut Households, New
York. 1t is owned by P. A. McIn-
tosh who is also a veteran of the
anne war. To prove his assertion
Mr.. Mcintosh shows the govern
ment brand on the animal S>hip,
which reads Il. C. 1861 Horse
and man served in the same regi-
ment. Although bent with age, his
hair turning gray and his teeth be-
coming worn, the old War horse is
still able to eat his twelve quarts of
,ats a day and take his master to
town several times week. 1t is
estimated the animal is ut least
fifty-three years old. Farmers say
the average life of horse is about
fifteen years.

mines were treated in n little five
stamp mill run by water power fur
nislIcd by the lake which is on the
hill about thousand yards from
the mill. Out OF the large tonnage
treated by this mill it il safe to say
that but little. over half the values
in the ores were saved on account
Of the crude methods used in mill
ing this kind of ore at that time,
some thirty years ago. 1t is the
purpose OF Mr.. Berryhill to recon
struct his water power plant which
will be used to furnish light and
power to carry on the extensive mi
ming operations projected. \ mod
cru ore reduction plant is to be in
stalled calculated for the treatment
OF all kinds OF refractory ores with
a saving OF over ninety-five percent
OF all the mineral values contained
in the ores. The location of this
reduction plant has not rs yet, been
determined. Crested Butte is con-
sidered to be the most feasible point
on account OF cheap fuel, broad
gauge railway facilities when the
plant is ready to 60 into commits
sion, and Us also central location
for the reception Of ores from Pitts
burg, Gothic, Elko, Scofeld, Crystal,
Brush Creek. Italian mountain and
other points. In this connection it
might be of interest to mention the
fact that Mr.. Berryhill has just
completed a 250-ton ore reduction
plant at one OF hi, = mines in Ne
vada after having perated a fifty
ton experimental plant on his prop
erty there to demonstrate the success
OF the process.

Man.DrIyen PLANES.

Before the invention OF the nero
plane many attempts were made TO
invent flying machines in which man
power alone would be employed. All
these attempts. however, ended in
failure.
Mathematicians have now estimated
tina: man is far too heavy to be sus-
tanned in the air by the power of his
own muscles. no matter how large
may be the wings that he fastens to
his body Among birds the weight
limit is approached most closely by
the Australian crane. which flies, al
though it weighs 20 pounds.
An aeroplane using three horse
power can be built, experts say. which
will sustain a man. but as the best
athletes can exert only a maximum
OF two horsepower for Is seconds at
q time. mans dream OF initiating the
fight of great birds can never bo real
lied. He always will be dependent on

Tariff Of Less Concern
To Sheeplnen Now

Pendleton, Ore, Dec. 6.-With elec.
ton Of officers for the ensuing year
and banquet at the Hotel Pendleton
the Oregon Woolgrowers association
concluded its convention Saturday. A
number Of resolutions were adopted at
the close of the session.
1t was resolved that since the LaFol.
lette seamen 3 law is working an injury
to American shipping, it be condemned
and that congress be asked to repeal
the law.
The association went on record as ia
vofing the non partisan national tariff
commission and such, tariff regulation
as is consistent with the attitude
the sheepmen in former years. and in
Structed the delegates to the National
Woolgrowers' convention to petition
congress to enact suitable pure. fabric
law.
The ragman, not low tariff, is the
enemy Of the wool growers, declared
Charles Copley, of Portland, who ad.
dressed the convention. He asserted
that the truthful branding of fabrics
would in a short time at least double
the wool production of the northwest.
"What wool men need," he said, "is
not tariff protection, but protection
against old rags, the rag man beir
chief competitor of the wool grower.
The worlds supply of fleece wool is
only 27 per cent of that which is sold
for all-wool products, and the wool
grower should begin to look into the
matter Of getting protection against
counterfeits which are put on the mar
ket as all wool. You have had tariff
enough; tariff has not helped you, nor
has it given you protection against old
rags"
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: VIM. Barrett, of
Heppner, president; E. T. Johnson, of
Wallowa, vice-president; j. N. Burgess,
Of Pilot Rock, c. c. Berkeley, of Hay
Creek, A. N, ingalls,, of Keating, D. o.
Justis, Of Heppner, and j. e. Dobbin,

sugar duties were discontinued and the
national defense program enacted, the
1917 treasury deficit would aggregate
$297 900, 900.
The first years cost of the prepar-
edness program, he said, would be
$9S,S00,O00. By retaining the present
"war tax' and sugar duties he esti-
mated additional revenues of $112,000,-
900 annually must be provided to cover
the national defense expense.
Disappearing of bond issue, the
president said
81, for one, do not believe the people
approve postponing payment Of their
bills.
"We should be following an almost
universal example of modern govern
ments were we to draw the greater part
or even the whole of the revenues we
need from income taxes"
Income and Other Taxes
Lowering of present limits of income
taxes and increase, step by step, of sur
taxes on larger incomes, was suggest
ed.
New internal taxes mentioned by the
president (Which can justly be resort
ed to without hampering the industries
of the country or putting any too great
charge upon individuals expenditure
were:
Gasoline and naphtha, one cent per
! gallon, yielding $l0,000,000.
Horsepower of automobile and in
ternal explosion engines, so cents per
horsepower, yielding $15,000,000.
Stamp tax on bank checks, yielding
$l8,000,000.
Pig iron, 25 cents ton, yielding
$40, 100000.
Fabricated iron and STEEL 90 cents a
ton, yielding $1O,000,000.
Returning to necessity for laws to
deal with foreign plots and conspira-
cies, the president declared:
Hyphenated Citizens
"I am sorry to say the gravest
threats against our national peace have
been uttered within our own borders.
There are citizens of the United States,
blush to admit, born under foreign
flags, but welcomed under our natural
ization laws to the full and free oppor
tunity Of America, who nave poured
the poison of disloyalty into the very
arteries of our national life, who have
sought to bring the authority and good
name of our government into contempt
to destroy our industries wherever they
thought it effective for their vindic-
tive purposes to strike at them and to
debase our politics to the uses Of for
eign intrigue. Their number is not
great as compared with the whole num-
