If NOT LICENSE
forest Grove Council Cannot
Legalize Liquor Sale.
UNIVERSITY 'WINS ITS SUIT
Legislative Intention Is 'Shown by
Omission of Word "License," 1
K incorporated in Earlier
GIty Charters.
'SALEM, Or., Feb. 20. (SpeciaU Pacific
University today "won Its suit to restrain
the issuance "of a liquor license in the
City of Forest Grove The Supreme Court,
In an opinion by Justice T. G. Hailey. af
firms the decree rendered by Judge T. A,
McBride." and holds that the present char
ter pi Forest Grove confers no power
upon the City Council to license the sale
of liquor.
The record shows that earlier charters
of the city conferred the power to ''li
cense, tax, regulate, restrain and pro
hibit" certain occupations, among which
was the selling of Intoxicating liquors.
The charter has been variously amended,
and the clause upon the liquor question
now authorizes the Council to "suppress.
regulate and prohibit" the sale of intoxi
cating liquors. As to certain other occu
pations, the words "license and lax" were
retained.
Justice Hailey says that the necessary
Inference from the omission of the words
"license and tax" in the clause relating
to intoxicating liquors Is that the Legis
lature did not intend to confer authority
upon the Council to license the sale of
liquors, but expressly limited the power to
suppressing, regulating and prohibiting
the traffic
The defense argued that "regulate" is a,
broader term than "license," and hence
the Council has authority to license under
that term, but the Supreme Court says
that the word "regulate" is used in two
places in the charter in its limited sense,
as not including the power to license, and
hence "we cannot presume or infer that
it has a brpader meaning when used In
the clause in question." The Justice con
tinues: In constrains: this word iir the statute be
fore us wc must do bo in the llcht of sur
rounding1 circumstances, and the history of
the legislation of this state upon the Immedi
ate subject before us in the locality to which
it applies.
The history of that locality, as set forth in
the pleadings, shows that the plaintiff is an
institution of learning, patronised by many
young people, and possessed of valuable prop
erties, title to which was given conditioned
that no Intoxicating liquors should be al
lowed, sold or used upon the premises, and
that In the history of the city of Forest
Grove no license haa ever been Issued for the
sale .of intoxicating liquors, and these facts,
together with the legislative history of the
charter, which shows that although at one
time the power to license was conferred upon
the board of trustees, such power was af
terward restricted by striking the word
"license" from the charter, all of which evi
dence are to be considered In determining
the Intention of the Legislature, clearly im
pel us to the belief that the Legislature did
not intend to grant to the City Council
power to do more than regulate the liquor
traffic.
Forest Grove being a college town where
young people gather for instruction and learn
ing, and many homes having doubtjees been
established for the education of sons and
daughters,, we can 'readily see why the Legis
lature 1 In its wisdom' would .hesitate to license-
the tale of Intoxicating liquors, which
necessarily brings Into existence the saloon
a place where those- who Indulge In such
things habitually congregate and spend their
time. ...
Justice Hailey says the word "regu
late" does not necessarily Imply the ex
istence of a saloon, for the Council might
have power to regulate the sale of In
toxicating liquors for medicinal and other
purposes without being done In a saloon.
Conklin Case Is Affirmed.
The Supreme Court also affirmed the
case of State of Oregon vs. Arthur Conk
lin, the latter having been found guilty of
libel in publishing an article against Rob
ert G. Smith, while the latter was a can
didate for the Legislature in 1WH. The
article was published in the Oregon Min
ing Journal, of which Conklin was pro
prietor. It charged Smith with embezzle
ment. At the trial Justice Hanna instructed
the jury, in effect, that the language
used was libelous per so, and on appeal
the Supreme Court approves the instruc
tion and affirms the judgment imposing a
fine of $250 upon Conklin.
NO TAX ON INDIANS PROPERTY
Washington School Superintendent
Raises the Question.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 20. (Special.)
Assistant Attorney-General Falknor today
gave an opinion to the effect that per
sonal property on Indian reservations Is
not taxable for school purposes. The
question was raised by the School Super
intendent of Snohomish County, who
wanted to have about $30,000 worth of per
sonal property on the Tulallp Indian res
ervation placed on the tax rolls for school
purposes, but the Attorney-General holds
that, as wards of the state, the owners of
this property are exempt.
The Land Commissioner's office has
raised an Important and complicated
question, which the Attorney-General's
office is now preparing an opinion on. and
which threatens to result in important
litigation, both In the state and Federal
courts. The question is as to the rights
of lessees of state land which is with
drawn by the general Government for ir
rigation purposes. .Between 40,000 and 50,
000 acres are said to be directly Involved
in the decision, in many cases the lessees
having made valuable improvements n
the land. The courts will undoubtedly be
called on to declare what prior rights, it
any, such persons have in case land with
drawn Is subsequently thrown open.
LIQUOR MONEY IS DEMANDED
North Yakima Called on for a Large
Sum by the State.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Fob. 20.
(Special.) In a communication to
City Treasurer Donovan today. State
Treasurer Mills threatens to bring suit
against North Yakima if the moneys
due the state as 10 per cent of the
saloon licenses collected here are not
at once paid over. The sum amounts

state on a decision made by the Su
preme Court In a case taken up from
Seattle, in which the court held that
all cities must pay 10 per cent of the
liquor licenses received after the act
of 1888 was repealed.
City Attorney Forsyth said today
ha had taken the matter up with the
Council, but before the money. is paid
over a statement of what is owing- the
state and how it figures out the
amount it is claiming must be made.

the Columbia Hotel. Reilly told the clergy
man that a Spiritualist named James
Lawler and three spirits living In the
hotel have Informed Reilly that a girl In
the nostofficc and Mr. Rasmus are pay
ing the spirits to cause Reilly bad luck.
When Reilly was seen he told the re

Freight Agent Blakclcy Has Not
Heard Officially of Action by
the O. R. & N.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 20.-(Spccial.)-Announccmcnt
in today's Orcgonlan that
the O. R. & N. would reduce rates on
wheat to Portland came as a great sur
prise to railroad officials and exporters.
Henry Blakclcy. general Western freight
agent for the Northern Pacific was ask
ed what action his road would take, fol
lowing the lead of the O. It- & N. Mr.
Blakcley said that the reduction was
news to him. He was Inclined to doubt
the authenticity of the report, as he had
not been notified of tho change.
"I have not heard anything about
this," said Mr, Blakcley. "As a matter
of course, I would have been notified, as
It Is the custom of the roads to notify
each other of changes. Otherwise the
rates would have no stability."
Knowing nothing of the change, Mr.
Blakcley was unable to outline the prob
able course of his department. How
ever, it is regarded as likely that the
Northern Pnclfic and Great Northern
Railroads, which haul all the wheat to
Pugct Sound, will follow suit by making
a like reduction. It is generally under
stood that the roads have a common
agreement to maintain the same rates.
Local exporters arc expecting the rail
roads running to Pugct Sound to lower
their rates, in whjch event Pugct Sound
will have the same advantage as hereto

AFTER "HILL'S BUSINESS
Intcrurban Halivrny Between Seattle
and Tacoma, Rumor Says, Has
Been Secured by the
Northern Iilnc.
TACOM"A, Wash.. Feb. 20. (Special.)
A inan well posted on. railroad affairs
says he has it on unquestioned au
thority that the North Coast Company
Is an offspring- of the Canadian Pacific,
and that the latter company has also
secured, as has been rumored, the In
terurban Hallway.
According to information received
by this man. the Canadian Pacific is
building the Spokane &. Columbia
River Railway & Navigation road to
Wallula. where it will connect with
the North Coast, which is to cross the
Cascades and come down one of the
valleys to Tacoma. The Intcrurban
will give the company a route to
Seattle and from there the proposed
road "will lead to Vancouver.
It is pointed out that the projected
roads all pass through the coveted
territory of the Hill lines and the
Canadian Pacific will be in a position
to fight the Hill lines in their richest
country.

What Is alleged to be an unjust discrim
ination In freight rates by the Northern

Harbor was the subject of discussion at
a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
