stating that no Chicago man could be

Dwyer statea when he was here that
he would send some small wrestler out

very likely the match will be held latu

There will be no Entertainment at the

leaves the club without an attraction

Astoria. Or.. Dec 28. The little citv
of West Seaside. In Clataon countv.
bids fair ' to win considerable renown
as the result of a peculiar litigation
that haa just arisen. West Seaside is
tne summer home or many Drominent
Portland families. The very existence
of the municloalltv is now threatened.
and its mayor and councllmen and other
orrtciaismay have to step down and out.
The charter of the city of West Sea
side was granted by the legislature In
1906. This charter declares that all
electors (therein mast have a certain
property qualification as a condition
precedent to the right to vote. But
more than that uoon Its face the char
ter apparently does not demand that
the voters shall be residents of that
city and no other, and It is out of this
tnat tne main source of trouble has
arisen.
As-a result of these charter nrovlslons
the town Of West Seaside has for its
mayor Dan J. Moore of Portland, well
known as a voter, resident and property
holder of the metropolis. With one or
two exceptions-the councllmen are also
all Portland men, and thus the peculiar
condition arises of a little city being
governed oy men wno reside in another
municipality, it is even alleged that
the mayor and councllmen hold their
council meetings in Portland ' and there
pass resolutions and adopt ordinances
ior tne city Dy tne sea. ine cnarter
does use the word "inhabitants," and
in the final adjudication of the matter
much may depend upon tne interpret
tlon given this word by the courts.
several cases have been brought re
cently. Yesterday it was stated that
more litigation is probabla. Several of
the leaning members of the Clatsop
county oar. including u. c. Fulton and
John H. and A. M. Smith, have brought
suits in the interests of their clients.
The case Instituted by Attorney Fulton
may be taken as a type of the whole
litigation. This action was brought at
the instance of tne Grimes Grove Land
company. This company owns large
tracts oi lana in seaside. An ordinance.
said to have been passed by Mayor
Moore and his councllmen In the city
of - Portland, required the building of
certain siaewaiKS in west seaside ana
provided for the usual delinauencv tten
altles. It seems that the Grimes Grove
Land company refused to pay Its assess
ments for the sidewalks constructed
and later many of its lots were sold
by the city marshal and bought by the
tuy.
Grimes Company's Aotloa.
The action brought by the Grimes
company Is to clear its title to these
liens and to quiet other titles being an
action in equity. The complaint Is vol
uminous. It alleges that the provision
of the charter which ostensibly nermlts
nonresidents to vote and to hold office
is void, it also alleges that the pro
vision of the charter which demands a
property qualification as a condition
precedent to the right to vote is also
unconstitutional and void; and lawyers
interested in tne matter point out that
the constitution of the state plainly
states that no such qualification may ever
oe demanded ana rurtnermore, that the
supreme court has Interpreted this con
stitutional provision in a manner entire
ly In consonance with its plain reading.
It is said there are about 20 voters
in the little town who permanently re
side there. There are said to be about
three times as many men from Portland,
wno noia property mere ana -vote there,
and this big majority of the "outland
ish" naturally permits them to run the
town as they see fit.
In the original charter granted by
tne legislature, uan j. moo re was named
as mayor, and C. T Henry, A. G. Long,
Kdgar B. piper, p. L. Willis. M. F.
Henderson, E. C. Johnson, Albert E.
Butterfleld, Paul Wesslnger, John F.
IiOHTln. Ottn J. Kramer, nil nt Pnrlland
and E. M. Grimes of Seaside were named
as councllmen. -
Then in July of last year there was
'an 'alleged and pretended election." the
complaint states, "at which a large num
ber of the votes cost were by nonresi
dents, by individuals residing In Multno
mah county and outside of the state of
Oregon." ' ,
At this election Mr. Moore was main
elected mayor and he still holds that of
fice. The present councllmen are near
ly all Portland men: A. E. Butterfleld,
C. II. HUL A. C. Johnson, J. F. Logan.
A. C. Long. Dan J. Malarkev. cv H Pre.
cedeuer, Edgar B. Piper, R. W. Wilson,
and W. P. Grimes and Albert Johnson.
The comDlaint avers that the "entlr
machinery of the election" was In the
hands of the Portland men.
The Question seems to he a hnnl- nnn
and seems 10 strike at one of the fund
amentals of American democracy as or
dinarily conceived by the average cltl
ten. Can a man reside In one town and
still vote In another town, or Vote in
both Portland and West Seaside? While
there are elemets that lend a touch of
opera bouf f e. with tho wealthy port
landers holding all the offices and hold
ing the common council meetings up
there, nevertheless the. West Seaside:
men see only the serious side since
Marshal Lindsay began selling their
is that of providing a municipal water
as the Tucker spring. The movement
ystem for the cltv. The tlan Is to
bring in the water from' what Is known
to do this is being taken up by the
residents 'of the hill section of the city,
who made a fight in the recent election
for a mayor and councllmen whom they
believe will be favorable to the pro
ject. To secure funds for this purpose
it will be necessary to submit the prop
osition to a vote of the taxpayers.

Rev. N. B. Mlnaker was unable to
prepare his paper for the Baptist Min
isterial association this morning be
cause of the Inconveniences arising
from the recent burning of his church.
The series of papers on Socialism was
consequently Interrupted and Kev. John
Bentzien read a paper on "The Reason
for the Atonement." He treated the
subject from a technical, theological
standpoint and brought a number of
scriptural quotations to substantiate his
arguments. The purpose of his paper
was to explain the reason why the
atonement for the world's sins was
made through the death and suffering
of Christ, when God could as well have
exercised it by tne mere omnipotence
of his will. Divine justice was the
keynote of the paper, and was the ex
planation of the atonement, because the
thought that sin must be punished is
paramount.
The paper said that human nature
demands above all things a penalty for
wrongdoing; that when a crime is com
mitted desire for punishing the criminal
is stronger tnan pity for the wronged
one. This feeling In man is a reflec
tion of divine Justice, and this divine
justice demanded that Christ should
surrer in expiation of sin. The awak
ened conscience Is a copy of divine Jus.
tice. It is justice punishing the wrong
aoer ana it is wnat prompts so many
criminals to confess their crime even
when unsuspected.
The paper met with general approval,
and in the discussion that followed
there was no dissension.
