Court House News
COMMON PLEAS COURT

Charles ". McElhose has filed
suit for divorce against Mary Mc-
EIhose, on the ground of gross neg
lect of duty and extreme cruelty.
Plaintiff alleges in petition that for
more than year defendant has,
against the will of plaintiff, kept a
Froomer by the name of Homer c..
Beckett, in her home at Stockport,
which home is owned by plaintiff,
said roomer being young man, un-
married, and with whom the de-
fendant has been, and still is, SO in
fatuated that she has ceased to have
the affection of wife toward
plaintiff. Plaintiff states in his pe-
tition, that he has been absent much
of the time on account of his en-
ployment at Woodlawn, Pa. where
he has steady work at remunerative
wages; that he has tried by all
means in his power to get defendant
to go with him to Woodlawn and re-
side with him there, all of which she
refuses to do because of her infatu-
alton for roomer; that she cares
more for him than for plaintiff;
that she intends to marry him when
ever she can get free from plain
tiff.
Plaintiff and defendant were mar
ried Feb. %, 1910, and have one
child, Georgia Lee McElhose. aged
nine.

OLYMPIA.-Out of the Indian leg.

motion picture with living characters,

making Of peace by these two tribes
when two ancient chiefs flung their
red blankets upon the waters and
warfare ceased forever between them,
affords one of the spectacular scenes
of actual history.
The massacre of Dungeness Spit,
when all of the braves of one tribe
were slain, together with the women
and children, and only one lone squaw
escaped to flee to the first lighthouse
built by the Boston men" on the
Spit, is another of the historical Incl
dents likely to have part in the
pageant of. the Olympiad.
All of the Olympiad is to be build
ed around the historic facts and leg

of the peninsula, and as part of the
pageant Eastern tourists will see for
the first time the Indians catching and
smoking salmon as they come up the
stream of the HANNA HANNA River.

HISTORY OF YEAR SHOWS MANY
IMPORTANT EVENTS MARKED 1924

Many events of great moment
marked the year 1924. First Of these
in Importance undoubtedly was the
formulation, adoption and putting into
operation Of the Dawes plan for the
payment of German reparations and.
indirectly, the financial and economic
regeneration Of that country and Eu-
rope generally. The success of this
scheme means much for the entire
civilized world. Having been devised
mainly by Americans, 1t adds to the
prestige of America.
Wars were few and not especially
important internationally. The out
standing ones were the civil war for
the control of the government of
China, the attempt of Spain to con-
quer the rebellious tribesmen Of Mo-
rocco, the suppression of rebellion
in Mexico and long.drawn-out revo-
lutionary movement: in Brazil There
were also several If the always-to.be.
expected internecine conflicts in Cen
trail America. On the whole, Mars had
rather an idle year. For a time the
alarmists talked of war between the
United States and Japan over the
Japanese exclusion clause III the new
American immigration law, but the
crisis was passed safely
Socialists Govern France
Great Britain experienced the nov.
city Of being under Labor govern
ment which was fairly successful I'M
til it got tangled up with the Russian
soviets, whereupon it was ousted, the
Conservatives winning the parliamen,
tary elections by large majorities.
Stanley Baldwin again became prime
minister. During the first quarter Of
the year the soviet government of
Russia won recognition from almost
every important country except the
United States, but the soviet leaders
continued to recede from their Bel
sheyik principles. Socialists captured
the government of France and Her
riot became premier. President Mus.

Mussolini of Italy were subjected to
severe attacks from political oppo

Ocean Beach Highway
Causes State Trouble

Years ago interested solons from
Grays Harbor and Pacific counties in
duced the legislature to set aside the
disable portions of the Pacific Ocean
beach in Southwestern Washington as
a permanent public highway.
Old Father Neptune never has been
in good humor about that deal and
both Land Commissioner G. v. Saw
idge and Highway Engineer James AL
len are trying to dodge responsibility
for fighting with the ocean for pos
session of the two automobile speed
ways.
When the Pacific Ocean is in a good
humor the waters recede, leaving big
tracts of newly-made ground and ap,
parently moving the speedways far
Their out toward the sea. Then comes
a period OF bitterness with property
owners at the summer resorts who
claim this newly-made land. Later
ensues period when the ocean flu
riousiy beats against the shore and
carries away great tracts of old shore
lands. Then comes o season of con,
troversy with summer resort peopie
oyer title to the place where the land
used to be but isn't any more.
The ribbon of sand, hard packed
and ideal for automobile speeding
moves in and out with recurring sea
sons like an Adams apple in nerv
GUS mans neck. Both Mr.. Savidge
and Mr.. Allen are tired OF searching
annually for the famous speedways
and then quarrelinge with the natives
over the ownership of the site. They
will ask the lawmakers to do some
thing that will end the pickering.
Irrespective of where the ocean de
cides to locate the speedways for the
season, there is no question about
their unexcelled attractiyeness for au
tolsts. The beaches are even more
than ever was claimed for them

agriculture was in the dumps, and

substantial rises in prices of grains
