JOSEPH CASE TAKEN TO FEDER
AL COCBT.
Saloon License Question In Joseph Is
Acted Upon.
Joseph, Or., June 18. (Special) The
litigation' over the Forsatrom bank
rapt stock ot general merchandise
here bajs taken still another turn. A.
W. Sshaupp, who was appointed by
the federal bankruptcy tribuanls as
trustee ol the estate of tbe bankrupt,
baa dismissed the recent suit filed by
him for possesion of the stock in the
Wallowa county circuit court, at the
Instance of Portland creditors, and
has filed a similar suit in the Federal
court at Portland. A U. S. marshal
has taken possession of the stock
from Ole Miller, who regained in the
circuit court of Wallowa county in
May the possession be bad taken un.
der a chattel mortgage, prior to tbe
attachment suit which last fall closed
the store, and In connection with
which the sheriff at the time took the
store from Miller. It was thought by
the Portland people that a final de
cision could be obtained sooner by
taking the matter into the Federal
spurts.
T Miller will continue the fight for
his possession. If be loses he will
then share with the other creditors in
proportion to the amounts held by
each against Forsstrom.
Recent complications In connection
with this case are told in the Enter
prise Record-Chieftain.
Licensed saloons will ope nin Jo
seph In a short time, according to
present Indications, says the Enter
prise Record-Chieftain. Five appli
cations for licenses have been re.
celved by Recorder August hlte.
These will come before the council at
Its neM meeting and will be referred
to the license committee. The city
ordinances provide that two' weeks
time must be given after this to per
mit of remonstrances to the applica
tions, i
No meeting of the council was neia
nday night, but a special session
can be called at any time by Mayor
McCully at the request of council
men. Some members of the council
are now out of town and the special
meeting probably will be postponed
until they return.
Applications for licenses have been
made by Xavler MIchellod, E. T.
Schluer, Jack Quick and Hayes Ker
nan of Joseph and G. B. Campbell of
La Grande.
A vote on license was taken In
Joseph last November. When It be
came apparent from the unofficial
count, that saloons had carried, pro
. bibltlonlsts took active steps to pre-,
vent the issuing of licenses. At tbe
time no construction of tbe law had
been delivered to permit saloons any
where in a prohibition county, and
Wallowa county was "dry". Anti
saloon advocates therefore took
prompt steps to prevent the nullifi
cation of county prohibition.
They obtained an Injunction re-
straining the county court from can-
vassing and certifying tne election.
This case has been on t'.ie docket of
Judge Knowles of the Circuit court
for some time. Recently the supreme
remit of the state handed down a de
rision In a somewhat similar
ruled that saloons could be op-
!! "I'.
Tomorrow Is rlrcns ilsy.
Th'
ened In Springfield, although It was
in a prohibition county.
Tbe Josepb injunction was dissolv
ed by Judge Knowles at La Grande,
June 3. Carl Roe and A. F. Sheet
canvassed the votes as justices ot tbe
peace and found 02 ballots against
saloons and 97 for them. This can
vass was made on Friday at the
court bouse and the result was ex
actly tbe same a unofficially an
nounced Immediately after the elec
tion. On Saturday the county court
met and certified tbe count.
Tbe result will be officially brought
before the Joseph city council at Its
next meeting.
As to the application of the Joseph
case at a precedent in other cities, ot
the county, these - facts must be
borne In mind: Tbe first step for the
opening of a saloon Is a vote of tbe
people of the town on tbe question of
issuing licenses. If tbe vote is against
licenses tbe matter ends there. If it
Is In favor of license, it is only per.
missive in nature. It authorizes the
council to lBSue licenses If the mem
bers see fit Therefore to open sa
loons, there must, first, be a vote in
favor ot saloons, and, second, action
to the same end by tbe councilmen.

FISHI3G AT PARK

Eel and Boy and Man
Suffer.
How easily trouble may happed to
a person when It is least expected was
fu,y Ustrate(j at the Park dam last
Sunday afternoon. Several barefooted
boys were fishing on the pier their
feet dangling over the side, all in
tently watching their lines. Right
back of them sat an old gent with a
new derbv hat on his head, an lnter-
t ested spectator of the scene,
- l rrnih'' w'U he hre in all its glorj.
denly one of tbe boye felt a bite and
giving a vicious jerk on his rod soon
drew out of tbe water a big eel wildly
flopping around and as it came by bis
legs unfortunately the hook with
the eel attached to it caught in tbe
lower part of his overalls and stuck
fast. Tben.tbe eel commenced squirm
ing and twisting around his bare foot
and ankles. The scared boy gave a
yell like a Comanche Indian and kick
ing and struggling to get tbe thing
loose lost his balance and toppled
over Into the river. Boy, eel, fishing
pole and everything. As be fell the
hntt nf .hp TnA iivnnff Arminrt and
knockd the old genr8 nat of lnt0 '
the water where it sailed merrily
away on the current on its way to
Portland. For a few minutes con !
fusion reigned supreme. j I
The water was swift but only about
three feet deep and the boy was j
carried down 30 or 40 feet when two
big boys rushed out and got him out
on the bar. Then cutting the hook
loose from his overalls they separated
him from slippery much to his
lief.
Here is a scene from llie Mjfa c'...-s

SEEING IS BELIEVEING.
You are the one best judge of what you want. Trust to your own judgment. Ee
ly on the evidence Qf your own senses. Demand to be "shown" before your de
cide on the purchase of real estate. If the property is as represented it will not'
suffer by examination. "Wc have nothing to conceal.
That part of Connordale Addition which is now on the market extends along
Washington Avenue from Twelfth street to Sixteenth street on one side and
along Twelfth street between L avenue and F avenue on the other. It is as level
as a table. The soil is a dark rich loam, easy to work and wonderfully fertile.
The sort of ground that produces that thick, green velvety lawn that adds so
much to the beauty of a home. It is underlaid with gravel from 6 to 8 feet be
low the surface. This insures perfect drainage and carries off all surface water.
Cellars do not have to be floored and walled with concrete and will always be free
from stagnant water after a hard rain. Concrete curbs and extra heavy concrete
. sidewalks five feet wide have been laid. The streets are graded and a ten foot
parking space provided on each side. The city water has been piped in and the
sewers follow this year. ."Washington Avenue is to be paved with asphalt this
summer right to the head of the Connordale addition. L Avenue, running from
Washington Avenue at the head of Connordale, past the city hall to the high
school, is to be opened up. Electric lights and telephones have already been in
stalled in the new houses built on Connordlae and a street lighting system will
soon be provided. Every requisit of a high-class residence district is found
there. Go and see for yourself, or let us take you over the Addition in one of
our machines. "We have a legitimate, home-building proposition not a wild-
cat speculation. You owe it to yourself and your family to investigate it.

me.

and entirely ignoring the boy's pre
dicament hollered out. "Ketch that

This tickled the crowd immensely.
