Watson of Forest Grove Wat Granted . a Liquor License by the Common Council and Judge Mc Bride Holds the Ordinance Is Void. HUlsboro, Ore., April 3. In the case of the Pacific university against th mayor and city of Forest Grove, Judge McBrlde this morning overruled the demurrer to the complaint, holding that the ordinance authorising the li censing of a saloon Is without author ity and! IU Thi university thus scores a victory, and an injunction will be granted restraining the sale of In toxicating liquors In Forest Grove. There were a number cf questions Involved in the case, but the court held all hinged on the construction to be placed on the city charter. The charter provides that the city shall have iower to "prohibit, regulate and suppress" the sale of Intoxicating li quors, and the court In determining the Intention of the legislature, held It necessary to consider the history f the city and conditions at the time of the enactment of the charter. In this the court founde there had never been Sash and Door Factory Destroyed by Fire at McMinnville. McMlnnvllle, April 3. The large sash and door factory Just completed at this place, and owner Jointly by Jones 4 Adams and C. K. SpnuMIng A Co.. was burned this morning at I; St o'clock.

Jones A Adams' loan Is 17M0, and the building cost $l40. adoui iioo worm or lumber was burned and a targe amount of maim factured good. The good work of the fire company saved most of the lum ber, but the loss of the factory will retard building operations until It can be rebuilt. Tills Is ihe first fire suffered by Jones & Adam In the Inst 15 years. The orl gin Is doubtless Incendiary. The fife was started both under the front anj rear of the building and gained great headway before discovered.

SPOONER BOOM. Cam- Laying Plans for Presidential paign of 1908. Washington, April 3. A boom for Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, for president In 1908 was launched last night with the regulation champaign baptism. The sponsor was none other than Secretary of War Taft; the scene was the 20th annual banquet of the Fai Upallon Fraternity Association at the Raleigh hotel. The Wisconsin statesman, retiring president of the association, was toastmaster, and, in troducing Secretary of War Taft as the new president, gracefully nominat ed him as the next chief Justice of the United States. Secretary Taft got back by nominat ing Mr. Spooner for president of the United States. "He has always shown a good Judgment in other things as In his selection of a chief Justice," the secrarjr remarked facetlofupjy. "I haven't much influence in Ohio but what I have is for Spooner for president." New York, April 3. Three trunk lines are reported by the commissioner of health to have agreed that they will bring all their milk to New York this summer In refrigerator cars, with each can and case packed in Ice. The smal ler railroad lines are expected to fol low the same plan. An inevitable re sult, the health officers say, will be a material reduction In sickness among infants and consequently a lower death rate. There will be no rise In the price of milk In consequence of the purer sup ply. The expense Incident to cooling the milk en route to the eity Is small not more than one or two cents for each 40-quart can. Elaborate plans are also being laid by the department to protect consumers during the com lng warm season against Impure o drugged product. Milk found to have been embalmed with formaldehyde Is to be seized and destroyed. Even three drops of formaldehyde In a 40-quart can of milk will be sufficient to cause condemnation.
