Judge Galloway based his decision on an Interpretation of the law that a local option election cannot be held except at the time of a general state eltction which come every two years, or at the time of a general city elec tion if uch election comes on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. He said when a local option election Is held at the time of a general city election, then the city authorities must appoint the election officials. Loral drva do not feel the slightest discouragement over the decision of Judge Galloway at Salem, In the liquor cases that have been preseniea 10 him. They propose to carry the fight to the finish and to bring the matter to the attention of the supreme court of the state. "The case is really encouraging, from our point of view," said one of the drys Friday night, "Judge Gallo way is reversed in a large percentage of the cases that are carried into the higher court. We have but started to fight and the matter will be carnea to the last resort before It is finally de termined." FOR SESIe SALEM VOTES DRY R A T.EM. Ore.. Dec. 1.

(Spe cial to The Morning Enterprise) "Oregon Dry In 1914," Is the slogan adopted here today at an enthusiastic meeting of the prohibition forces from all over the state, at which It was definitely determined to bring about at the general election, November 3, 1914. the repeal of the home rule amendment, which permits Incorpor ated cities and towns to regulate the llauor traffic within their own bound aries. At the same time the prohibi tionists will make strenuous efforts to vote the entire state dry. If success ful they must succeed on two proposi tions, the first to repeal the home rule amendment to the constitution, ndnnted In 1910: and the second to vote the saloons out of business Oregon as a whole state. in When the "dry forces convened this morning, the Anti-Saloon League had a program that contemplated on"- the repeal of the home ru! amend ment in 1914, and to extend the "dry" territory Into a number of Oregon counties, now "wet." But thl did not meet with favor from the more raaicai prohibitionist, who are after quick action, and they argued that 11 states are planning to conduct a "dry" cam paign In 1914, and insisted inai ure gon should line up for the fray, and not Walt until 1916. This was finally agreed upon, and the Prohibition party, the Anti-Saloon League, the temperance organizations and many church leaders will Join hands to stamD the alcholic traffic from tha state. Several ministers from Oregon City attended the meet ing here. WETS HAVE FILED The wets have filed their amended enmnlalnt in the circuit court to the one in which they asked the Judge to restrain the county court from aeciar lng the return in the last prohibition election in the city. The original comolaint asked the rnnrt to restraining the county offi cials from doing something that had already been done and was rued just 45 minute too late. The amendment to this complaint simply recites the facts contained in the ottter insru ments with the reasons alleged by the wets and asks the coutr to set slde tha torder. The drv forces have filed a general demurrer to the complaint as it has been amended. The hearing upon the Issues involved will be set wttmn tne next week. IS BY GOVERNOR WEST SALEM, Ore., Dec 3.

Selv er, city recorder, drew up the Instru ment LOSE TERRITORY WEST LINN PLANS TO EXTEND BOUNDARIES TO EMBRACE -PART OF NEAR-BY TOWN ELECTION CALLED FOR DECEMBER 31 Only People Living In the District Af fected Permitted to Vote on Issue That Threatens Limit of Town The new city of West Linn will cele brate the death of the old year by at tempting to increase ita area through the annexation of a portion or tne neighboring town of Willamette. West Linn was Incorporated only last Aug ust, but it 1 ambitious and it is said that a majority of the residents of that portion of Willamette who may be citizens of west Linn after Decern ber 31, when the annexation election s to be held, are seeking entrance In to the Hew municipality. L. L. Porter, recorder of West Linn, issued notices Monday, calling an election for December 31 to vote up on the question of annexing a part of Willamette. While all of the voters of West Linn will have an opportun lty to express themselves upon the de sirability or extending tne towns boundaries, only those residents of Willamette who live in the territory whose annexation is proposed can vote on the proposition, which must receive a majority in both the Willam ette territory affected and In West Linn. Only a short time before the in corporation of West Linn, there was an attempt made by Willamette to extend its boundaries to include con siderable of the territory now em braced in West Linn, but the measure failed to pass by the close vote of 26 to 31.

OUT FOR ROADS WANTS BETTER HIGHWAYS IN ITS DISTRICT AND VOTES LEVY DETERMINES TO RAISE FIVE MILLS Believe That Hard Surfaced Roads Mean Much to City and All of Surrounding Territory Big Crowd By a vote of more than two to one, the people of the Molalla district de termined to levy a special tax of five mills for good roads. In the largest meeting that ha been held in this district in some time the questloa of good roads was thoroughly discussed. The people are enthusi astic over the proposition and have determined that the solution to the difficulties that face the new city Is to be found in better highways. S. A. Douglas wa. elected road su pervisor to handle the money that will be raised by the special levy. The dis trict plans to get all of the hard sur faced roads that It can and to put tbe one. that it now ha. In better condi tion and to make them pajsame even dnrinir tha ralnv season of the year. The subject of good roads la an lra nnrtant one In this district and the people came out In force when the rniMl nn of a SDCCiai levy wu ui- cussed. WILLAMETTE MAY MOLALLA COMES COURT GRINDS Oil ITS BUDGET DAYS OF STRENUOUS WORK ARE AHEAD FOR THE COUNTY OFFICIALS LEGISLATURE IS HELD 10 BLAME Appropriation Mad at Last Session Find Echo In Demand From Stat Department, for Mors Money Though the county court has not yet fixed tbe tax levy for the county, it will probably run close to 20 mill on a valuation of $30,521,801 or more than $610,000 In actual revenue. . Notice ha ben received by J. E. Jack, county assessor, that this coun ty will have to raise for state pur. -pose. $170,000 as against $43,000 last year. To meet this, the county court will have to make the tax levy for the state purposes about six mills. The school mill levy will be three and one-quarter mills, the county general purposes two and one-halt mills, and the road fund eight mills. The valua tion this year is, in round numbers, $2,000,000 more this year than last, due to the timber cruise, and the amount that will have to be raised for state purposes alone Is about four times that raised last year. Legislature At Fault This Is due to some of the appro priations passed by the last legisla ture and the money that was ordered expended at that time, it is said. Mult nomah county, alone, raised for state purposes $410,000 last year and will now have to pay $1,740,000 into the treasury. The entire state will have to raise $4,000,000 to meet the ex penses incurred by the legislature. It Is I said, and Clackamas county will pay large proportion of this amount The state tax commission added for public service corporations doing bus iness through and holding property in this county a total of $5,919,767 to the $24,602,000 that the county assessor had estimated was the value of all other property in the county. Mere Starter. But this is a mere beginning. A large proportion of the road districts of the county have levied special taxes for the construction of roads through their territory and the im provements on thetr own nignways. The school districts have raised spe cial taxes for the betterment of the public schools. The cities have fixed their own tax levies for tne carrying cn of the municipal governments. Ore gon City, for instance, has a tax levy of 10 mills for all purposes. Other towns have their own levies. This must sll be added to tha county levy that will be made and the levy that is made for the purposes of the state gov ernment The whole trouble seems to come about through the passage at the last session of the state legislature so many appropriation bills that have In creased the cost to the taxpayers throughout the state and necessitated the call from the state departments for a higher levy through the several counties for state purposes. Every county in the state will prob ably pay this year four times what it - paid last year. . The levies maoe tor state purposes show the Increase from that source alone to make that differ ence, it is pointed out. EXAMINATION OPEN The United States Civil Service commission announce an open com petitive examination to be held in this city on January 10, 114 at wnicn u is expected to flH a vacancy or rural carrier at Mulino or other place which may occur In this county. The examination is open to alt male citizens of the United States who can comply with the requirements.
