Colonel Lawson Advised to
Pay No Attention to Serv

(SIcm Bureau of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., Jan. 5. Governor West
toflay sent the following dispatch to
Colonel B. K. Lawson at Copperfield:
"Understand Deputy Sheriff Herbert
will be in Copperfield today. Be sure
to extend him every courtesy, but pay
no attention to any papers he might
serve."
With full executive approval Colo
nel Lawson can tear up all the writs
of injunction the circuit court of Ba
ker county can issue, as long as he is
maintaining martial law and the civil
authorities fail to enforce the laws.
The governor emphatically declared to
day that he would not permit the civil
authorities to take control at Copper
field until he has full assurances that
the laws will be enforced.
The governor's law enforcement ac
tivities are now likely to sweep Baker
county. He. said today that the pro
gram Is for Colonel Lawson to move
his men this afternoon to Hunting
ton, from where an eye will be kept
on Copperfield and also on a number
of other places. -Whether the saloon
keeper town officials will be taken
to Huntington as - prisoners will be

here alone today by the worst storm

The sands were littered with wreck

Mayor Elliott called a city council
meeting for this afternoon to discuss
rehabilitation but the consensus of
opinion was that the section would
never recover from the blow and that
few of the wrecked cottages would
ever ne rebuilt.

Big Cable, Affecting 800
Instruments.
Water accumulated in a manhole
at Broadway and Jefferson street
from the heavy rains of the past
week got into one of the main cables
of the Pacific Telephone company
leading from that point, resulting in
the bursting of the cable at 6 o'clock
this morning, thereby putting 800
telephone stations out of commission.
Included in this Is the fire depart

ing it impossible for lc.eiiijj4e l.ie

telephone lines. It does not affect the
regular alarm, however.
Other big buildings Included in this
are The Journal, the cjty hall, the
courthouse, the Y. M. C. A. and the
T. W. C. A., and, in fact, nearly all
telephones in the district bounded by
Yamhill, Clay, Twelfth street and the

It is believed that the repairs can
be made by 5 or 6 o'clock tonight, anl
while it is not yet known what must
be done, it is believed that a large po
