" .'The anti-saloon league of that - town haa . been busy within th last few years and thla winter succeeded In having a ' law passed, by the Maryland legislature which may result In cleaning out all saloons In Frederick county.

No objection was found with that pro vision. ' Another section' directs that nine freeholders living In the vicinity of the locajlon where a saloon la to be. operated must Join In the liquor- dealer's petition, who must not have been convicted of any crime or mis demeanor.

Grant Marquam, a member. of the Oregon bar, "who died fn the city of Portland, on the ltth day of April, 1906. after a brief illness, was born July S. 168, aad. spent most of his lire m this city. On reselling the years of early manhood, he took up the atudy of law and followed , that profession with marked success until thus called away. "lie was especially remarKuale for his tndifstry and his faithfulness In at tention to duty; and, particularly, during the later years of his practice, he set an example worthy of emulation, to his as sociates in-the energy snd enterprise shown by him in the interests of his clients. Alwaya courteous and consid erate of . the feelings of other, tolerant and qharltable In hta dealing, earnest and steadfast In purpose and In action, respectful and dignified In his, bearing toward the court, his success in . the practice of his profession engendered no 111 will or Jealousy, and hla untimely end came as a shock to his associates and friends at the bar. "He waa cut off at a time when life seemed to open for him a door to happi ness and prosperity. I'ntll but a few daya before hla demise, he was In the full enjoyment of health and th vigor of a naturaHy strong constitution, so that It might naturally havebeen ex pected that he had before hire s long life of usefulness and of honor. In hi family, he was dearly loved aa a hus band,, a brother, and a "son, and in these relations he was respected, trusted, and depended upon aa a sincere and warnost and alwaya helpful confidant and friend. "Th many who - looked to him ' for advice and comfort In time of trouble will deplore their loaa, and that smaller circle of those who knew hla more In timate self, and who knew hla firm de termination to nut away the tempta tlons that press upon those who follow hla profession, and knew of hla victory over the. lnfluer.cfa that tend to swerve man from duty, know alao that In hla life th-re was much to Inspire towsrd nobler endeavor and In his denth there Is much to regret. Be It 'Resolved. That, the sincere sympathy of the member of the court and of the bar, here assembled, be tendered to the widow Snd ro the relatives of Mr, Mar quam, and that a copy of these resolu tions be transmitted to the' family by the clerk of thia court, -and In token of respect for the memory of the departed brother, the court adjourn for the nay, and these resolutions be spread upon ihe Journal. . .
