ment was voiced that the entire ooun-

receive its share of the work
O. A. Barrett of this CITY, was pres
ent and offered tentative proposition
to bond the county for practically
$500. 900 for permanent road improve
ment. Mr.. Barrett took the stand
that all parts of the county needed

the movement be incorporated only on

His idea is that a $400. 900 twenty
year serial bond issue, bearing six per
cent interest, 100000 to be issued
each year for four years. will serve to
complete macadam loads to connect
up the principal parts of the county

ton less Hermiston to Umatilla, now

turning to New York, he attempted to
regain his wife. His offers were
spurned. Then followed his $2J0,000
suit charging alienation of affections.
After hearing the evidence Justice
Hough dismissed the suit and pro-
pounded what he said was q theory Of
law designed to cover such cases and
to minimize the scandal and discourage
the institution Of "such sordid demands
as have been here exhibited" He held
that while parental authority may
terminate with marriage, the parental
relation continues and that no parent is
bound at the peril of a successful suit
for damages to approve of his child's
marriage.
There is a duty to pursue this
course because litlgations like this have
been happily almost unknown in the
national courts, and no decisions Of
binding authority at present control the
action of this tribunal. A plaintiff who
In plain language sought pecuniary con-
ISOLATION from a wealthy father-in-law
who refused to show by payments Of
money or the furnishing of business
opportunity his appreciation of that
plaintiff as a son-in-law would be out
of court upon his own statement
"All suits such as this, whether pro-
NOTED by or against the rich or the
poor, rest on the same legal basis
namely, the alleged wrong Of the de-
PENDANTS in depriving the plaintiff Of
the society, affection and services of
wife or the protection, support and az
lection OF a husband. as the case
may be.
But when the defendants are not
strangers, but parents, the family rela-
ton, which antedated matrimony,
duced a considerable number Of opin-
ions In all parts of the English speak
ing world not capable OF reconciliation
and furnishing help to almost any con-
tention related to what are commonly
called alienation suits
"The doctrines preferred by me and
so far as I am concerned to be en-
forced are these: The parental author
fly may be admitted to terminate with
the celebration OF lawful marriage by
the child, and even parental power and
influence (as distinguished from au-
thority) must thereafter recognize the
creation by marriage of a status pro
tected and favored by laws quite as
ancient as those enforcing the duties
and responsibilities Of children, fathers
and Mothers
