OREGOX CITY, Or.. June 19. (Spe cial.) Circuit Judge Eakin this after noon declined to grant a temporary in junction restraining-the moving of the historic home of Dr. John McLoughlin the founder of Oregon City, to the pub lic square at the top of Singer Hill He granted a temporary restraining order early this morning, and set the case lor hearing at noon, but when he learned that no bond had- been filed he Immediately dissolved the injunction and later in the day heard the argu ments on an application for a tempor ary order. As was expected this morning at torney John K. Clark filed a complaint calculated to stop proceedings, in which Caleb Cross, who has teen antagoniz ing the proposal to move the building to thepublic square, instituted an action against Kred S. Baker, the contractor who is moving the building, and E. G. Caufield and E. E. Brodie. president and secretary, respectively, of the Mc Loughlin Memorial Association. Mr Cross contended that if the home of McLoughlin is placed on the square, the public would be injured thereby, and that he would be unable to command a view of the scenery from the square State Senator Hedges appeared 'for the Association, and advanced the argu ment that no possible damage could re su.t, and that the complaint failed to show that Cross had any right to sue for the public and that the allegations were entirely insufficient. The court took the same view, but intimated that if a complaint were filed in which a sufficient showing was made, he would Issue a temporary order restraining the contractor from placing the building on the block. It is therefore, anticipated neift Monday another complaint will be filed and a second attempt made to prevent the building going on the square. Judge Eakin ruled that no injunc tion would be issued against proceed ing with the moving of the building, and it is entirely probable that the people who are trying to have the building restored to preserve the mem ory of McLoughlin, will seture another site on the hill, if they are prevented from establishing the permanent home of the structure on the public square, under permission of the City Council.
