rounded the police and when the excite

COURTS CONFLICT
Polk County Court, Dry, Dis
regards Judge Scott's
Injunction, Wet
(Special Dlipatch to The Journal.)
Dallas, Or, June 12. The county
court of Polk county this morning
Issued a proclamation of prohibition In
Polk county after July 1.
. This order was made in violation of
an injunction served on the court this
morning by 311yeu ft Sparks, saloonmeo
of this city, the Injunction order hav
ing been signed by judge bcoii, county
judge of Marion county.
The Polk county court, acting under
tbe advice of District Attorney McNary,
held that Judge Scott had no jurisdic
tion over the county court of Polk
county, and therefore had no right to
Issue an Injunction order.
The injunction was asked for on the
allegation that the vote on prohibition
was unconstitutional.
The suit is similar to others brousrht
in other counties of the state.
The saloonmen will at once take
steps to appeal from the decision of
tne county court

that It will become a law even it Mtinr

THOMSON
Superintendent Frank T, Dodge of the
eity water department has taken excep
tion to the statements of C. L. Mead,
who declared -that ' Dodge had shown
favoritism in the manner ot installing
water mains, and showed by the records
of the department that Instead of re
porting adversely upon the petition of
rosiuenn living m tne irvingion dis
trict for--water mains he recommended
that the mains be laid in. advance of
hard surface pavements. , - .
Furthermore the decision of Install
ing water mains does not rest with
Dodge, but entirely with P- the water
board, ; The only . ' part - assumed by
Dodge is in the preparation of the esti
mates: of the cost of the proposed ex
tension, the amount of revenue derived
at the time the petition la-filed and th)
amount of prospoctlve revenue.
podge is considerably incensed to
think that, snap Judgment should , be
taken upon him by the residents of
Holladay Park and Irvlngton and has
addressed a letter to C. L, Mead as fol
lows: ' r - f J
