SUPREME COURT SO RULES
Charter Provisions Are Same In Ef
fect as in Medford, 3IaJorlty of
Court Decides Justice
Eakin Dissents.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 12. ( Special.) The
Supreme Court today rendered an opin
ion reversing the decision of the lower
court in the case of the State vs. Sam
Cochran, and as a result the Clly
Council of St. John will hereafter have
the legal right to license saloons in that
city The opinion of the court was
written by Justice King, concurred. in In
justices Mc'Bride and Slater and dis
sented from by Justices Moore and Ea
kin. A dissenting opinion is written by
Justice Eakin.
The opinion of the Appellate Court
moans that the charter of St. John is
the same In effect as the Medford char
ter, notwithstanding a difference in the
wording. St. John was incorporated by
an act of the Legislature on February
19 1903. The local option law was Initi
ated and adopted by the people of the
state on June 6, 19M. and took effect
June 24. 1904. On January . 1905, the
Legislature granted the City of St. John
a new charter. On June 4. 1906. the peo
ple adopted by initiative an amendment
to Art XI. section 2 of the constitution,
which provided that corporations may
be formed under general laws but shall
not be formed by the legislative assem
bly under special acts. Also, "tho legis
lative assembly shall not enact, amend or
repeal any charter, or act of incorpor
ation for any municipality, city or town.
Power Left fo Voters.
This power was left In the hande of
the legal voters of the cities and towns.
Iii 1'7 the people of St. John, by the
t initiative, adopted an act to -incorporate
the city and to provide a charter there
for At the general election on June 1,
19CS prohibition was adopted under the
provisions of the general act on the sub
ject The opinion notes that many of the
legil principles involved were thoroughly
covered In the case of Hall vs. Dunn.
The legal effect of the words "prohibit
and "restrain." used respectively in the
Medford and St. John charters, le held to
be practically the same. Quoting from
the opinion of Justice King: "The Med
ford charter adds the power 'to license.
' but In the charter under consideration
this power is Included in the word 'regu
late.' And the power to license is ir
reconcilable with the local-option law.
which, when made effective in any local
ity, precludes not only the right to li
cense, but totally prohibits the sale of
any intoxicants whatever for beverage
purposes. . . -
City Exempt From State Law.
' "The Initiative charter enacted In
1907 is a reincorporation of the city,
and largely a repetition of the pro
visions of the charter of 190B, leaving
tl.e effect of the subdivision now in
question unchanged and unafTected by
the re-enactment, ami not a new state
ment of the law. It was not an effort
bv the people to exempt the city from
the operation of the local option law,
which it has power to do, but leaves
the. conditions relative thereto as they
were prior to the adoption of the new
charter, and the city being exempt
from the operation of the local option
law by the terms of the charter of
1805. the re-enactment amounted mere
ly to another recognition of that fact,
and reinforces the position to which
we adhere that the prohibition order
of June 10, 1908, cannot apply within
the city."
Justice Eakin in his dissenting opin
ion holds that the Medford charter is
broader In Its scope that the St. John
charter, that the provision of the St.
John charter giving the city the right
to "regulate and restrain . . . bar
rooms" does not exempt the city rom
the operation of the local option law.
-Justice Eakin says: "This clause of
the St. John charter was copied lit-
rally from the charter of the city of
Portland, which was adopted prior to
the local option law, and had no ref
erence to It, and evidently the Legis
lature had no other purpose In the
r . v. a et Tihn ohirfpr thnn to

The county built a small Jail there two
or three years ago, when a state con
vict camp was maintained for a time, and

SHEEP ARE IN FINE SHAPE
Winter Outlook Discouraging Be
cause of High Price of Feeds.
PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 12. (Special.)
Thousands of sheep are now on the trails
leading from the Summer range In the
forest reserves of the Blue Mountains to
the Fall and Winter range on the foot
hills and lowlanda. They are coming out
of the mountains In as good or better
shape than they have ever come out be
fore, yet despite this fact the prospects
for the Winter are not as bright as the
growers of wool would like to see.
The grass In the mountains was un
usually good this year. The limitations
placed upon the number of animals al
lowed to graze In the National reserves
by the Forest Service prevented the
range being eaten off, and the early Fall
rains started a good growth of grass on
the foothills, so that the conditions there
are all that could be desired. But it Is
on the Winter ranges that the trouble is
to be experienced. So far there has not
been rain enough to start the grass and
from present indications the extremely
dry years of the past two seasons are
to be duplicated.
Though the sheep are tnererore coming
on to the Winter range fat and healthy.
It will require an extraordinary amount
of hay to carry them through the Win
ter. This will prove even more expensive
this year, because the price of hay Is
already higher and Is constantly soaring.
