SEEK FINAL DECISION
CITY OFFICIALS WILL APPEAL
GAMBLING CASE.
They Desire Supreme Court to Define
Their Duties and How to En
force the Laws.
Mayor Williams, Chief of Police Hunt,
Municipal Judge Hogue and the-members
of the Executive Board Trill appeal at once
to the Supreme Court from the decision
rendered by Judges Cleland, Frazer and
George, directing them to enforce the
laws for the suppression of gambling or
show cause why they do not do so.
The petitioners who demanded that a
writ of mandamus issue to compel the
city officers referred to to enforce the
gambling statute within the direct mean
ing of the law were Robert Llvingtone
and others, members of the Municipal
League. The Judges of the State Circuit
Court ordered an alternative writ of man
damus to Issue, which would have been
followed by a" peremptory writ unless a
sufficient defense was Interposed which
would convince the court that the city
officials were not willfully neglecting to
enforce the laws, and instead carrying
on an Illegal license system under the
guise of monthly fines.
The defendants, instead of filing an
answer containing a defenso chose to de
mur to the alternative writ on technical
grounds, and yesterday by consent the
demurrer was overruled.
City Attorney I A. McNary states that
the object of the appeal is to obtain an
opinion from the Supreme Court con
cerning the duties or the city officials un
der the city charter and other statutes
and how they must be enforced.
NEW ROAD TO THE COLUMBIA
Falrvlew People Want It to Connect
With Ferry to Washougal.
Residents at Falrvlew and vicinity de
sire the construction of a county road
from Falrvlew to a point on the Colum
bla River opposite "Washougal and, if the
road Is built, the Intention is to operate
a ferry-boat between the Oregon shore
and Washougal. The matter was pre
sented to the County Court two years ago,
and no action was taken. Recently a pe
tition asking for the construction of the
road numerously signed was presented
by ex-County Commissioner H. S. Stone
The road would cost about $10,000, and a
large part of the expense would be In the
building of a long trestle bridge. The
members of the County Board, while ad'
mlttlng that such a road would be desir
able, do not think they can afford to ex
pond the money which It would cost at the
present time. It is stated that the City
& Suburban Railway Company's lines or
some other of the street-car lines -will be
extended In that direction whenever the
road Is constructed.

soundest and most conscientious advisers,
and the state and people at large a dis
tinguished citizen and real benefactor.
"That the solidity and force of Mr.
Bingham's character and his eminent
services to the state have long rendered
him a man of mark, and In our Austra
lian ballot law and registration law, of
both of which he was the author, he has
left an enduring monument and a work
for which the people will ever owe him a
debt of gratitude.
"Modest and unassuming In bis de
meanor, kindly and affable in his nature,
the loss of Mr. Bingham leaves a void in
the hearts of all who knew him.
"Resolved, further. That the bench and
bar extend to his bereaved wife and fam
ily their deepest sympathy.
"That these resolutions be spread upon
the journal of this court and a copy be
transmitted to the Circuit Court of- the

our late brother.

FOR VISITORS AND OTHERS.
Moral Tendencies- Rainier.
RAINIER. Or., Jan. 9. (Special.) There
Is still considerable agitation in regard-to
saloon license and gambling. The fact
that the logging camps and mills have
been shut down during the holidays h$s
bekn the. means of stopping the opera
tions of tho gamblers to a great extent.
A revival service Is being conducted In
the town and there are some evidences
that the moral wave Is more than spas-
rinodic. "

The popular weekly concerts given by
Eilers Piano House, which have become
