ome from Walla Walla to work
westward from Elgin In hopes of

Since early morning the crew has
been under " scrutiny, .' not .. by news
papers alone but by the public in
general and the 0. It ft N. officials
as well. On their arrival at Elgin
today noon, the men Idled about, ap
parently not headed anywhere. Cu

day; and It' Is believed the entire
crowd will be missing by tomorrow

IJTY1LIDITY; OF THE IXlCTIXG
CL1USE AFFIIULED,
Other nnvalldlUes" also affirmed by
Farquharson's cnnseL
A half doren knotty problems , of
law were argued today when James
FarQuharsou's case, was brought be
fore Judge Knowles on a writ of re
view from the order the City Recor
der, D.: El Cox, sending Farquharson
to the city jail because he refused to
pay a fine of $50 imposed when con
victed some months ago of selling
liquor. The . liquor confiscated at the
time of the arrest was - destroyed,
when the defendant was arrested a
short time ago. Among' the points
raised by Attorney Hyde of Baker
City, counsel for the defendant, the
Invalidity of the passing of the or
dinance revoking , the right to sell
liquors was one. Another was that
the inactlng clause of the ordinance
if; invalid, that the defendant should
have bad a hearing before the li
quor was destroyed. .There will not
likely be a decision, in the case to
dax.,x;i , ; x;;; xx''.rx.

! to all our customers. However the fact that it grows
is of loss importance than the cause of this growth. '

operatioa ot some vital principle, and in this case the
vitrl principle is quality quality of goods, quality of
service. 'V ': :. ' '. H: ' -V. ';'V ; X '
