Tliolnlllatlve and rVferendum law, .un
der which the local option law war
passed Is held to be null and void be
causo In Violation of section I, article
4 of. the constitution. , .
The court Is. asked to Issue an ordei
forever and perpetually enjoining thr
county cotnmlislnncrs from proclaim
ing tho vote of the recent, election,
and until tlin suit Is finally tried oit
a temporary restraining ordor Is askef
for.
tluirsvn Are l iitrue.
Following the filing of the saloon
men's suit today there was more r
less agitation about the court house.
expeUelly In the clerk's and sherlfO
offices. Pictures of the recall were
drawn by callers who took advantage
nf the opportunity to "Josh" the offi
cials. '
But there Is little worry on the part
of the officials, for they declare thnt
the allegations of the complaint can
not "touch them."
An order for the prohibition elec
tion was duly made by County Judge
Cllllllanil. Official nntlres announcing
the election were provided by County
Clerk Frank Baling and given IHe
sherirt within the requisite time, and
the notices were duly posted by the
sheriff or his deputies.
Official returns showing the com
pletion of their tasks have been made
by both the clerk and sheriff and are
on file. Consequently It would seem
thst they have been blameless.
' Regarding the cheeking of the elg.
(natures, that, work waa done by Depu-
. ,,
ty Clerk Nelson. However, the la
'. . ...
w
provides that a deputy may perform
any of 4he duties nf his chief,-eo tt
would seem there Is hut HHIe In that
i portion of the complaint.

The Walla Walla ns arrived thle

o'clock the fans got a splendid view of

The four-game series was formally
opened when the new umpire, William
Koosef; "bellowed out his "play bal!."
. As La Grande and the visitors have
never faced each other before, there
s much speculation as to who Is go
ing to win the series here. That L
