MARSHFIELD. Or.. May 29. (Spe cial.) There has arisen a legal point in regard to the local-option tight in this county which may mean a lawsuit after the election. It is announced that if the county should go dry the liquor interests will go to the Supreme Court for a decision as to how It affects Marshfield. Since the local-option law was adopt ed Marshfield was granted n charter In which It staU-s that the City Coun cil his the right to license, tax and regulate the saloons. Some of the law yers hold that this means that it is en tirely up lo the City Council as to whether or net there shall he -salcons and that even though the county should vote dry as a whole It will not affect this city. At le.ist this Is the eKim thut Is made, and it Is declared that the saloons will not close until there hns been a decision from tht Supreme -Court. This applies only to the Marshheld charter, so. if the county as a whole should dvy. th other towns would be compelled to close the raloons. 1 the county as a whole goes wet the districts or towns which vote dry must be dry and the cities votlT-g wet can be -wet. hut this rices not apply if the county as a whole goes dry. unless, of course, the -saloon interests can win in their claim that the Marshfield char ter is not affected. In the meantime, the light of the local o tion people against the advo- cates of saloons is a warm one. The contest on this point is centered par ticularly In Marshfield.

(Spe cial. ) The retail liquor dealers of Clackamas County are up against a real hard proposition' in the strenuous campaign that Is being waged to make the whole county dry. The dry people have gained ground during the last week, and while there seemed to be no danger of the wet forces losing about a week or 10 days ago, the sentiment has changed to a remarkable degree during the last few days. It is espe cially noticeable in the country pre- CROSSED THE PLAINS TO ORE GON IN 147. s, - - vv s i... - The Late Miranda Lee Martin. BOISE. Idaho, May 29. (Spe cial.)

(Special.) The campaign in Lane County, completed today, has been very quiet, yet it is ex pected that the vote Monday will be the lai'SPeflt ever polled in Lane County. One thousand more voters Vere registered this year than two years ago. and a large ma jority of the people will be brought to the polls because of their interest in the university appropriation bill. The county is also Interested in the local option con test. In which an effort will be made to make Lane "wet" after a "dry" regime of two years. It Is the claim of the drys,' and it is not disputed by their opponents, that the county will cast a larger vote for prohl bition this time than two years ago. The Republicans claim that they will elect every man on their ticket, from Senator to Constable. Two years ago Governor Chamberlain carried Lane Coun ty by a majority of '21 votes. R. S. Bryson. secretary of the Republi can Central Committee of Lane County, said this morning: "Indications are that we shall elect every man on the ticket. There is no contest with the Democrats excepting over the Sheriff. For years they have concentrated their forces and succeeded in securing this office, but Mr. Griffin, the Republican candidate. Is the strongest man that has been put up by the Republican party. A careful canvass of the county has been made, and I esti mate that we will elect our Sheriff by 600- majority. As to the other offices, the Republicans will as usual have a clean sweep. It is believed the county high school measure will carry by a safe vote. GEAR IX PRAISES MR. FULTOX Makes Talk for Chamberlain In Sen ator's Home Town. ASTORIA. Or., May 29. (Special.) John M. Gearin. of Portland, addressed a large audience at the Astoria Thea tn this evening in the interests of the Chamberlain campaign. Gearin paid a glowing tribute to Senator Fulton, saying he is one of the ablest mm in the United States Sen ate today, and it was a misfortune, which the state will long regret, and which he personally sincerely regret ted, that Senator Fulton was not re nominated for the position he now oc cupies and has so ably filled. He also spoke very -complimentary of Mr. Cake as a man and as a citi zen, but criticised his appeal that party Is above the man. "Why," said the speaker. "Mr. Cake told you when he was here that I accomplished nothing while in the Senate, and could not ac complish anything, because I belong, to the minority party. Now if one of you Democrats met Mr. Cake on the street and asked him if. when elected, he would act for you in Washington, he would reply that as a Senator he would be know no party, and he would be speaking the truth for he is an honest man. How. then, could he charge that every other Senator, excepting himself. Is dishonest. -The South gets as much for rivers and harbore and for public buildings as does any other section and they are all Democratic there." LARGE CROWD GREETS CAKE Senatorial Candidate Closes His ' Tour bf Umatilla County. PEN D L ETON, Or., May 29. (Special.)

He speaks at Athena and Weston tomorrow, - bringing his cam paign to a close In this county. A large majority for Mr. Cake and the entire Republican ticket is conceded here even by the Democrats. The fact that Chamberlain is the delegate-at-la-rge to the National Democratic Convention and pledged to Eryan for President will not help the. Governor here. Fred Melndl Speaks at Arlington. ARLINGTON. Or.. May 29. (Special.) Fred Melndl. of Moro, spoke in the opera house here yesterday evening in the inter est of the Republican candidates and Mr. Cake in particular. NELSON CAUGHT BY GUPIO PUGILIST ADMITS FASCINATION FOR PORTLAND GIRL. Denies He's Engaged, bat Talks Freely of Young Woman's 1 Charms. SEATTLE. Wash.; May 29. (Special.) Battling Nelson denies that he is en gaged to be married. Not indignantly and emphatically, you understand, but still he denies it. At the same time, one doesn't have to talk with him more than about two minutes to realize that no one need be surprised if an interesting announcement appears In the social columns of the dally press In the near future. Her name Is Miss Rena Schuh. of 988 Garfield avenue. Portland. Or., and Bat blushes when he talks about her. Also he rhapsodizes. "Say. she's the prettiest kid I ever saw and the best fellow that ever hap pened. She's the only woman I .ever met that there was any danger that I would get foolish over. and I've known hundred? of 'em. I get letters from 'em right along. Here's one I got today from one that wants to see me, she says, for old time's sake. and. honest. I ean't remember where I ever saw her. That shows you how much .of a hit most of 'em make with me. But this Is dif ferent. She is the prettiest girl I ever saw, and the nicest kid. too." Also sev eral other adjectives of the superlative degree. Bat met Miss Schuh a few weeks ago in San Francisco, where she was visiting some married friends. He took her. out to his ranch at Ltvermore, Cal., an.l showed her around, just so "she could see what s-he would have to take charge of." Then he came North. Miss Schuh is still In San Francisco. Bat Is head over heels in love and he doesn't care who knows it. In fact, he rather likes to tell about it. and although he Insists that he isn't really engaged, he admits that folks will have no real grounds for surprise if the engagement is announced soon.

Astoria debaters were Miss Birdie Wise, Carl Thomas and Miss Pearl Aldrlch. The debate was well handled by both teams, and a decision either way would have satisfied the au dience. Astoria having assumed .the burden of proof, was at a slight disad vantage. All speakers were clear and fluent, and lost no time in the course of the discussion.

May 29. (Special.) By a vote of 4 to 3, the State Supreme Court today decided that such court has original jurisdiction in divorce matters and may enter orders directing the pay ment of alimony pending litigation, suit money and attorney's fees. The Jurisdic tion of the court has been in dispute among attorneys for years. The decis ions, for there are two cases, were writ ten by Justice Root and concurred in by Chief Justice Hadley and Justices Dunbar and Crow. Justices Mount, Rudkin and Fullerton died a dissenting opinion, as serting that the majority opinion is a usurpation of power not granted to the court, from which serious complications may result. The first case is from King County. wherein Eva Holcomb secured a divorce from Augustus Holcomb and by the de cree was awarded some non-income-pro-duclng property and 150 per month ali mony. Holcomb gave bond on appeal, which of course stayed the payment of alimony and left her practically penniless. Her attorneys petitioned the Supreme Court for alimony, pointing out tnat ene had no means, that she had to care for her crippled child, and unless she had suit money and attorneys' fees, could not fight the appeal in the Supreme Court. The court in its decisions says the state. representing society, is a proper party to all divorce proceedings, made mo by law. and that it would be a monstrous policy which would allow one party In the suit to tie up all the funds by an appeal bond and thus rob the other party of the right to be heard in the higher court. In this case Mrs. Holcomb is allowed $o0 a month alimony from the time th eappeal was taken, $75 suit money and $100 for attor neys' fees. The court, however, refused her application that the hueband be put under bonds not to leave the state and that the alimony claim be made a first lien upon real estate. A similar decision was rendered in the case wherein Ellen A. Sullivan secured a divorce from Daniel Sullivan, who ap pealed. Property valued at 1250,000 Is In the possession of the husband, while she is In California with a minor child dying. It was ordered that ehe be paid $100 per month for her support, $150 per month for the child, $7 suit money and $15. attor neys' fees. Tacoma Shipping Notes. TACOMA, May 29.
