to yank his wife out of bed by the
hair even if he "comes from Mis-
souri,"

by District Judge w. M. Mccain
ish when Mrs. Margaret Leslie,
twenty years old, brought suit for
divorce from her husband, Mar
Cellus Leslie.
Mrs. Leslie testified she thot
her husband didn't have the right
to pull her out of bed by the
hair. Mrs. Charles Curry, sister
of Leslie and witness for the de-
fense, said she thot circumstan-

Electric Line
Nearing Hands
OF Receivers

Corvallis, Ore, March %. -
Wages extraordinary, the jitneys,
and the increasing truck service
over the roads of Oregon are prov
ing such a burden to the railroads
that all of them are considering
the matter with grave concern and
at least one, the Oregon Electric
has found itself so completely up
against it that it has had to take
off express service in spots, and
can give no possible consideration
to extension of any character. In
fact, the Oregon Electric which
has never paid south of Salem is
now where there is every possibil-
ity Of it passing into the hands OF
receiver, and early action look
ing toward relief will have to
come.
Such in effect is the composite
of statements made at railroad
headquarters in Peg land this
week to a Corvallis Commercial
club committee that went down to
inquire into the why and where
fore of Oregon Electric inyestiga
tions in the vicinity in recent
weeks. 1t was the hope of the
Commercial clubbers that the Ore
gon Electric people were able to
see the dawn of brighter days in
dustrially and were planning to
care for an increased traffic and
a general growth unparalleled
once we are indeed back to norm
alley. 1t was even thought possible
that the o. e. was considering the
possibility of building that long
delayed bridge across the william
ette and bringing their passenger
station to the half block of
ground they own on Third street
between Monroe and Jackson, so
President Kinney asked M. M.
Bauer, Clarence Whiteside and
the mayor to go with him to talk
the matter over with the railroad
people. They went and they talk
ed a little, but listened more, anG
it was most like listening to fur
eral grafton.

Overflow of
Luckilnute Seen
By Commission

Independence. Ore. March "a
Claire Irvine, Claude Skinner and
Etrnest Zielesch, who last week
visited point on the Luckiamute
river where the state highway
commission is determined to guild
the paved road, say that the Luck
iamute was a raging torrent over
the road for three-quarters OF a
mile, and so deep in places that
a horse was obliged to swim in
order to cross the stream. This con
ditiOn prevailed for several days
and the water was at its greatest
depth Thursday when the COM
mittee made the investigation.
This is the Helmick crossing on
the road south from Monmouth.
The committee visited the Parker
crossing the same day where the
county court would have the road
built, and it was found that the
river was confined between its
banks. c. B. Stephens, local
photographer, accompanied the
committee and secured photogca-
phs of the river at both crossings.
It is claimed that If the road is
constructed by way of the Hell
mick crossing it will be a source
Of trouble and expense for all
time.
Messrs. Booth, Yeon and Bar
rett were accompanied by Senator
Patton and State Engineer Num-.
who visited Dallas on TuesdAy CT
last week, went south by way OF
the Helmick crossing. If tn ~
could have postponed their trip
until Thursday it is believed that
the contention over the road loca-
tions in Polk county would have
been Immediately settled. Messrs.
Skinner, Irvine, Zeilesch and Sic
phens still maintain that the only
logical route for the paved road is
by way Of the Parker crossing and
they will present photographs OF
the actual conditions at both OF
the crossings to substantiate their
claims.

WEBSTER-PUTNAM BY TROLLEY AGAIN
Conference Today Probably Will Reopen Webster-No.
 Grosvenordale Line
Consolidated President Comes Person.
 ally To Conference A, Webster

Unwilling that Putnam should gain all of the benefit from the renewed activity of the local trolley system. the Webster Chamber of Commerce has managed to bring about a confer enee between officials of the Consoh- dated railroad and town officials of Webster and Dudley. which will prob ably result in reopening of the line between Webster and North Grosven- ordale.
 This line has been discontinued for about two years. and it is necessary that the management of the Consoli- dated road of Worcester and the Con nectieut road officials agree, in order that through service for people in th these towns and the towns along she route. be established.
 General Manager Page of the Con. s5lidated road has promised the off eials ef Webster that he will do all in ais power to have the service resum- cd, and the fact that the president of the Connecticut Company has asked for q meeting, almost elinches the fact that the long-loeked-for through transportation will again be resumed
 In order that this service be estab- lishcd, the Consolidated cars will run to the end of their line in Webster and the Connecticut cars will meet them there to carry the passengers through to the end of their journey. When this service was in vogue, q tremendous amount of business was siven 10 the town of Webster by the people who poured in from the small e towns along the Connecticut line.
 During the war the shortage of men Vas given as the reason for the connecticut Company cars not run ming to the end of their line. and the stoppage of this service by the Con seetieut Company. The town off cials and members Of the Webster Chamber of Commerce have been working hard Co have the service re stunned and have been keeping con- stantly in teach with officials of both roads in order to bring this about When ii letter was received from the Consolidated officials. stating that they would do all in their power to have operations resumed. Seleetman MeManus wrote letter. at the insti- eation of the other members of the board. explaining this fact to the Connecticut officials. The reply to this letter received by Mr McManus is taken by the officials as almost ab- soIute assurance that the Connecticut Company management has agreed to do their part and that the service will be resumed.
 The conference will take place in the offices of the management of the Connecticut road at 1i.3o o'clock this FridAy morning. and will be at tended by President J. R. Storrs of the Connecticut Company and other officials of that road, President Wood Manager Henry Page and Supt. Ghas O'Donnell of the Consolidated. the three members of the Webster select men, and Louis 4 Gilbert, secretary cf the Webster Dudley Chamber of Commerce.
