It is strenuously contended by, the counsel for the plaintiff that the Re corder's simply referring to the Or dinance as the Prohibition Ordinance does not sufficiently Identify the Or dinance as being the Ordinance In question and is not sufficient proof of the passage of Ordinance No. 442, Series of 1910, and that the Ordi nance should have been referred to! by. title if not by number in the min utes. ' The title of Ordinance No. 442, Sec ies of 1910, reads as follows: "An Ordinance prohibiting the sale or dis posal of spirituous, malt, vinous cr other intoxicating liquor, within the corporate limits of the City of La Grande, Oregon, prescribing the man ner of enforcements, defining : tinl sances, prescribing the method of abating the same, regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors upon pre scriptions, providing penalties for the violation of. this Ordinance and re-, pealing all Ordinances or parts there of in conflict herewith." 1 : -Undoubtedly the object in - requir ing the proceedings of the council in the passage of an ordinance to be entered on the minutes Is to enable any person Interested in the pa Bage of the Ordinance to ascertain If the requirements of the Charter havo been observed in the passage of the ordinance. Therefore any lnforma-: tlon In the minutes that would con vey to a person this knowledge is suf ficient. It is of course the better prac tlce to refer to the Ordinance by ti tle but we do not believe that this is necessary. It is a well known fact that the word "prohibition" in a dry county like this has a distinct mean-i ing. No one in this county at least In reading over the minutes of the meeting of the Council of. January 12th, 1910, would infer that the pfo nibition Ordinace passed at that meet Ing was an ordinance prohibiting cows from running at . large within the City limits.. They would know at once that the "prohibition ordinance" I passed at that time was an ordinance WE EURMSh THE HOME FROM THE BASEMENT TO THE GARRET NEW AND SECOND HAND FURNITURE Special Bargain 6 Second-hand dressers as good as new at from' $5 up.

A ' n.. . ...... ' Dictionary defines the word "prohibi tion" as follows: "The interdiction by law of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks except for medi cinal and sacremental uses." .Web sters New International Dictionary defines the word "prohibition" thus: "The forbidding by law of the Bale and sometimes the manufacture of alcoholic liquors as beverages." This ordinance in question was first Introduced at the meeting of January 5th, 1910 and read the first time en tire and the second time by title only and referred to the Judiciary Commit tee. In his minutes of this meeting the Recorder also refers to the Ordi nance as the "prohibition" Ordinance. We believe that such a designation of the Ordinance was a , suilicient de-; scription of the Ordinance. Again it is contended ' that the conviction of the plaintiff was illegal for the rea son that the Ordinance has no emer gency clauses as required by law aud therefore the Ordinance did not take effect until thirty days after its pa;- sage or Feb. 12th, 1910, which would be after the alleged offense of plain tiff in maintaining a nuisance was committed aa it la alleged in the com plaint that he maintained the nui sance on the 13th day of January, 1910. ' ; , ' ( . " It follows that if the Ordinance did not go into effect at the time it was signed by the Mayor January 12th, 1910, that taa conviction of the plain tiff herein was ilhgal. 1 Section 11 of the Act-adopted by the people of this state for the pur pose of carrying into effect the ini tiative and referendum powers were reserved to the people," which Act can be found on Page 398,, Session Laws 1907, among other things provides as follows: ' 1 ; "No city ordinanceresolution or franchise shall take effect and be come operative until thirty days af ter such final passage, except meas ures necessary for the Immediate t t JUNE H iso! -Eecoras NOW IN STOCK.

Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine. - . v Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfield, with his 200 horsepower Benz machine, and-C. O. King, with his Maxwell 30 horsepower stock car. Oldfield lowered his previous record of one mile to 51 5-6, which is a new coast record for the circular track. With the exception of this performance, Oldfield had to take second place in the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat in both the five and fifteen mile handicap events, and in both races King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and ' taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfield. , In the five mile handicap, Oldfield drove his Knox racer to the utmost, but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead awav' from King. Not only in the handicap events did King and his. Max-;; 4 well tfrove stars of the first prder, but in one of the first events of the 4 day, the five mile race for cars costing from $1200 to 1600, which was A ..... r cne of the bestmatches of the meet The time for the five mile handicap was as follows:.
