100-yard daah. 0:10 1-5. 220-yard daeh.
. 0:23 2-5; 440-yard run, 0:52; 8110-yard

pound hammer for distance. 121 feet.
Second That the contestants In thla
meet ahall present sworn affidavits that
, they have equalled- the shove require
ment!!; that they axe students In good
. and regular atandlng In the university
or college that they are representing;
that they have been In said university
or college since Pebruray 14, 105; that
they are amateurs, never having com
peted for a caah prise or having re-
" ceived money for their athletic skill or
' knowledge.
Third That when the above require-
, menta are compiled with, that the com
mittee on music and special attractions
. of. the Lewis and Clark fair will pay one
half of the railroad fare of not mora
. than ten men from the following Insti
tutions; University of Oregon, University of
California. University of Washington,
. University of Idaho, University of
Montana, University of Utah) University
of Wyoming. Oregon Agricultural col
lege, Washington Agricultural college.
Whitman college, Montana Agricultural
college, Utah Agricultural college, Unl-
vcralty of Nevada. -
Fourth That ah entrance Tee of B0
cents for each event be charged, and
that this will go towards the purchas
ing of medals,, whip h shall be Vs fol
lows: Oold for first places In the dlf-
' ferent events, sliver for the seconds,
- sad Vsaase far the thirds; that a gold
medal be given for the one making the
largest number of points In the meet;
that a loving cup be given the lnfctl
tut Inn scoring the greatest mimber of
points, and that a relay race be held
at the close of the meet and that each
school or institution be allowed to enter
a team of six men and four men to
start the race; that each man shall run
a quarter mile, and that the winner of
this race shall receive a loving cup;
that an entrance fee of $2 be charged
for each institution entering this event.
Now it may be necessary to make
aeveral changes, but this, 1 think, will
give my outline of how 1 think it should
be run. ' "
It may be unwise to have Wyoming,
Nevuria. .nut i'tah In this meet, mm thev
are so far away. If you can gel a rate
of one, fare for Aha round trip it will
make a fits difference. I would also
suggest that more than ten men be al
lowed to represent an Institution, but
that you. pay ofjry as above agreed to.
and that If more than ten men Are to
represent an institution, that not more
than two men be allowed to start in any
one event, but if not more than ten men
aTO to represent aa Institution, that
three men be the limit to start in any
one event.
Hoping that I may hear from you
soon. I am
Yourg sincerely.

FOR CITY'S WELFARE

contingencies, which make the provi
sions of the local-option law applicable
to auch countlea and precincts aa may at
subsequent liquor elections vote prohi
bition." ,
Judge George reached the conclusion
that liquor laws remain In force for
whatever they provide until soma pro
hibitive event result In setting them,
pro tan to. aalde.
Regarding the contention that the pro
visions of the ordinance are unreason
able, he expresses the conviction that
the question la not so much whetheV the
ordinance la reasonable aa to whether
Its enactment was a reasonable exercise
of any Implied authority vested in the
city under charter powers.
"Some of the provisions, such as lim
iting walla of aide boxes to a. height of
seven feet," he says, "and requiring
them to be open on1 one aide, seem to
be really old provisions of other city
ordinances The court la unable to con
clude that this Is so unreasonable an
ordinance In all Ita features that the
court ehould enjoin Its enforcement In
every particular.''
After ualng the language relative to
the Intent of the ordinance aa regards
the preservation of public morals, which
heads the article, the opinion concludes
In the following language:
"The court, by thla suit, la asked to
exercise its extraordinary equity power
of enjoining the city officials from en
forcing the provisions of this ordinance.
Only in the clearest case could the court
so order, even If none of the provisions
of the ordinance Is enforceable), and not
even then If any adequate remedy at
law should already exist. A,i reme
dies at law, the court thinks, dn exist
that will protect plaintiffs from any
unlawful interference. The demurrer is
sustained.''
.A brief was handed Judge Oeorge thla
morning by counsel for the plaintiffs.
He stated in pronouncing opinion that
the time was late for a brief, but that It
did not contain any points of importance
which he had not already given due con
elders tlon.
'1 might supplement my written opin
ion. " he said, "by asserting that suits
inch as this usually arise on habeas
corpus proceedings, where some offense
has been charged agalnat a defendant,
but here is a case In which the court la
merely asked on theory to decide that
none of the provisions of an ordinance
can he enforced. I have not been given
any authorities which bear on that point.
The court can see nothing In the brief
which shakes the conclusion which It has
reached, andithe demurrer to the? Injunc
tion suit will be sustained."
Judge Martin L. Pipes, who with At
torney John F. Logan appeared for the
plaintiffs, asserts that an appeal Will be
taken to the aupreme court from the de
cision of Judge Oeorge.
After reading the opinion," he aald.
''t ciinnnt aee that the court has dealt
with any of the salient reasons advanced
as in why an Injunction agalnat the en
fiif emrnt of the ordinance should be la

furs were going and go they must now. Every price
ticket is changed! A. line drawn through the original
