Mr. -Mills for the petitioners toxk tin
roninl t hat in the mutter of the peti
tion of the voters to itnlor an election
to vote mi the tpnstion of local option,
the record not show l certifioate
of I lie clerk that the persons sinin
were leal voters; that the sheriff V
certifcale of the posting of notices of
the elect iim was iusutlicienl. in that u
return tl'u not say where I he not ices
were posted, huf only that t hey were
posted in five public places iu the vi
cinity of tin polling places; nlsn that
the abstract of the votes should havi
appeared in the record of tin county
court to rie jurisdiction to make the
final order declaring the result of the
vole.
On the part of the det'endants, Mr.
iSlune contended that the law did not
rc(.ii ire a cert ii'icate of the clerk that
the voters who signed the petition were
iu:lil'iei! voices, hut that such petition
was for the county court, and when the
court had satisfied itself that the pet i
tiou complied with the law it was its
fluty to make the order for the election;
that the return made by the sheriff and
clerk with reference o their compliance
with the law, being prima facie evidence
that all the provisions of the law had
been complied with, made the work
done exempt from an attack by writ of
review.
Also that it was not necessary that
thea bslract made of the volt1 should be
included in the order declaring the re
suit uf the election; that such abstract
was made for the information of the
county court, and was not a jurisdic
tional matter. And that then rder de
claring the result of the election being
prima facie evidence that nil the pro
visions of t he law had been complied
with in giving notice of and holding
said election, and iu counting and iv
Uirning the votes and declaring the re
sults therei.f. the proceeding could not
be al tacked by writ uf review.

A nui'pie feature of Fourth of duly
here was the nailing of the American

it floated and c old be seen f.r a great
distance.
The parade of the "horribles' was
the conception nf litoiison, l'adow &

('amp X had a celebration of its
own on the Fourth and sports say that
it iv an a f-ne cue; that the ladies all
had fiin bathing suits, which scared
all the fish for miles away.
Untie Falls did itself proud on the
Vouith. The exerci'-ies were many and
varied and general snt isfact ion w:i ex
presd by the public. The ladies gave
splendid music, the declaration wa-; for
ciblv. intelligently read by .Miss Miilei
and the other features were to t lie lik
ing of the large concourse present. The
game of baseball between Kagle Foint
and Hut to Fall;: was hotly contested,
splendidly played and only afttr a st rcn
nous effort resulted ill victory for l'.tltte
Kalis by a score of i to s. It has not
.been our pleasure to attend a celebra
tion where there appeared to be a more
sociable and happy crowd. The spreads
were all that could be wished for and
everv eating place was liberally patron
ized. P.utte Falls is forging ahead and
amid the sn-ers, scoffs and criticisms
will be found rising to its jutly merited
place among the growing, prosperous
towns of the county.

a pronounced success. He will show his

RUN OF SALMON IN
COLUMBIA IMPROVES
ASTORIA, Or.. .Inly S During the
past few davs t lie run of salmon has
improved considerably and there is now
every indication that this season will be
a better one than last, for the canuers
al least. The majority of the fish ma
iling now are small, which always gives
evidence of a new run of fish that have
just left the sea. They are firm and
hard and of the best quality in every
way.
That last season's pack will be excel
od now practically conceded by those
rpost interested, unless the unexpected
should happen.
