But it all took a happy ending this morning when the Injunction was dissolved by ord.Tr of j the court Through the ruling pf C'r ,cult Judge Crawford, the will of the ' people at the polls will reign, and not j that of one man or a few men. In his decision the court recites the Issue at stake, the contentions of the Complainant, the arguments of the de fense, precedents, and finally his de cision. The document closes with the following resume: "Did the Irregularities complained AT SALOON INTERESTS.

The saloons must pack up of 3,0" and majority In favor of prohibition of 890, while the total reg istered vote of the county, exclusive of those registered and sworn in ort election day was 3085. In Kamela precinct the total registered vote was S8, while those voting for prohibition were , and those voting against pro hibition 22, a total of It. In tha face of these facts no one can successfully claim that there was not at this elec tion a full, free and fair expression of the public will on the subject of the prohibition pf the sale of Intoxicating liquors tq Union county. This being true, and the irregularities complained of, being In matters directory only, It Is the duty of the court to uphold the election. It therefore follows that the temporary Injunction heretofore Issued in this cause must be vacated and get out. One day more now and La Orando and Union county will en ter upon a new era a dry one. The decision of the court rendered today is the final and fatal blow to the ef- forts of Julius Roesch to gain more time in which to dispose of his stock. The principal contention set up by the complaint was the one that delayed the handing down of the final decree. In the hearing held more than a week ago, all points at lsue but one were disposed of. The effect of one or two minor Irregularities In the Kamela precinct was what took the Judge some time to decide. In the interim, ten sion has been at its highest; forecasts fcJfcYe been varied and many,' the anti saloon forces, it must be admitted. and set 'aside, and plaintiffs biJJ of complaint dismissed, and It la so or dered. "T. H. CRAWFORD, " ' "Circuit JuOge. "June 29. 1908." Order of County Court. The county court met this morning and made an order declaring the re sult of the election which, after re citing the acta of the county court nd the officials in connection with the election, reads as follows: "It Is therefore ordered. That there were. In said election on the 1st day of June, 1908, 1995 votes cast for, and 1305 votes against prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors In Union coun tT..; """,. in a ma jority of 690 votes In favor of prohi bition; ; ' . ". ' , ."That on and after the first day of July, 1908, the sale of intoxicating liquors be, and the same hereby U prohibited. In the entire county of Union, Oregon, excepting for the pur poses and underthe regulations speci fied by law, and until such time as the qualified voters In said county at e legal election held for that purpose, b a majority vote, decide otherwise."

' The former manager of the La Grande team has urgent business needing hla attention In the southern city and he goes without hard feelings toward anybody. At present at least. the management of the local club will fall on the hands of Grant Lin coln and Captain Lodell will have charge of the team while on the field. Lodell Is one of the most gentlemanly kickers" In the league. , He la alert o see a fault and presents his cane. In gentlemnaly way. Hence the team will be able to proceed In Us schedule intlt a playing manager Is selected. It was Jack O'Brien who was large- yl responsible for the birth of the In- nd Empire league.

The fronts of both the grocery and the saloon buildings were blown out. Fire quickly 'followed the explosion, partly consuming the wrecks before the firemen arrived.
