The county; may now proceed to sell Its , bondM and exppnd the proceeds as con templated on three of its main high way.' : V. U. Parker attacked the validity of the bond Issue on the ground that the sum of $400,000 was more than 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county, and because the reglxtration of voters and the election was held under the provisions of the GUI registration law, later declared unconstitutional. the lower court upheld the validity of the bonds, and Parker appealed. The supreme court modifies the lower court s opinion to some extent. Zlectlqn Is Kecognlzea. One o'f the significant features of the Opinion la the recognition of the legality of election procedure, under - the Gill registration law. prior to the time the law was declared unconstitu tional. It is on the assumption that ,r procedure under the Gill law was 11- legal that the liquor Interests have , made their strenuous fight to overturn , the local option elections In every town of Importance which voted dry at the November election. These cases are now pending before the supreme court. Speaking of the allegations in the i Clatsop county case that the bond elec uon was Illegal because of the QUI registration law. Justice McNary cays Tare Weeks Intervened. "The decree of the lower court is ought to be overturned for the reason the polls were kept open from 8 o'clock In the forenoon until 8 o'clock in the ; afternoon, as prescribed in the general .laws for 1913, page 23; also, that the registration books were closed Dursu aat to section 6 "of the act 16 days before the date of election.

Under such conditions the law leans against the annulment of an election and the consequent subversion of the public will." Regarding the feature or tne z per cent assessed valuation of the county, the plaintiff contended that, the as sessed valuation must be taken from the assessor's records, but the court' held that the "assessed valuation of a county is the valuation shown by, the assessor, plujs the valuation of those public utilities ascertained by the tax commission, and that when the legisla ture used the expression, 'the assessed valuation of a county,' it meant the consummated acts of all the agencies employed in determining the amount and value of property available for taxation."

T. Conway In federal court seven weeks ago of misusing the malls in connection with the promotion of an eastern Oregon land scheme, were summoned back to Portland by United States Attorney Clarence L. Reames last week to sign the affidavit that they had not read ar ticles published in The Journal during the trial, and upon which Senator C. W. Fulton, counsel for the two, sought to obtain a new trial. Four of these Jurors came from Tillamook county. and they experienced a great deal of difficulty in making the trip. They are Frank Severence, Tilla mook; A. A. Imlah, Cloverdale; N. G. Boqulst, Tillamook, and Charles Jen sen, Hebo. "Mr. Reames called us up by tele phone last Friday," stated Mr. Sever ence. who acted as spokesman for the party, "and said that he wanted us to get to Portland as soon as possible. "The railroad is blocked, and it was impossible to come through that wav; Mr. Boqulst and myself, secured a' light rig and a good heavy team, and, going southeast went through the Grand Ronde reservation and over the old mail road to Willamlna. That is prob ably the best road between the Valley and Tillamook county at this time, but the mud, especially through the reser vation country, was two feet deep. We had 25 miles more to go than Imlah and Severance, who live in the south ern part of the county. One of them went through to WiUamlnaVon horse back, and the other took a : light rig over. i "The railroad company has to ful fill its mail contract, and it is hauling the mall over this road by Willamlna and the Grande Ronde. Conditions are frightful. Four horses are put on a lumber wagon loaded with only 600 pounds of mail, and they can barely get through. Horses were down every, where. We got through all right, al though the pull was a hard one." ' All the members of this party took two days to get over the mountains. Rather than take the hard trip back the same way, some are going to wait until a. train gets through, which rail road people say will not be for a week 'or more. 1 Judge Bean has the case under ad visement. - : Third and Taylor streets under a new name. Will BtmoTt Parsonage. A decision was made to remove the Darsonaee of the former Grace church. now located Just west of the church building at Twelfth and Taylor streets, ! and there to build a new Sunday school building. .An appeal from the ruling of Bishop Cooke, sustaining the union of the churches and the change of scene of activities, has been taken by the dis senters, who threaten suit in the courts to bring about the desired ac tion. A demand was made on the confer ence to return to Third and Taylor Btreets, and charges were made that the conference was being held llle gaily, that all acts of the conference In the matter of changing the site of ' activities are against church discipline and a demand that the salary due Rev. Benjamin Young for the time he has 1 been preaching at Twelfth and Taylor street be refused him and used to pay j for the services of Rev. W. J. Kerr, i who has been preaching at Third and j Taylor, was made. Baling Xs Demanded. By a vote of 33 to S It was deter mined by the conference that the united churches shall be known as the First M. E. church, that the scene ' of activities will be at Twelfth and I Taylor streets, that if the dlssentert do withdraw from the union, the new church will be known by some other name than the First church. The trouble started early in the evening, when Norman C. Thorne. I backed by B. Lee Paget, presented to j the district superintendent, J. W. Mac- ' Dougall, who was presiding at the con ference, a 4000-word .document of pro- . test against the actions of the confer ence, and demanded an Immediate rul ing on the protest. Scores of quotations from church law were made to prove that' the con ference had exceeded its authoritv. The persistent attacks of Thorne were finally quieted for a time when In the midst of one of his tirades. Amadee 1 Smith voted to proceed with the reg- i uiar oraer 01 Dusmess and the motion . carried. 1 Attack Zs Senaweo. At this Juncture the renort of the committee on pulpit supdIv which provided for the exchange of pulpits ' oeiween jur. xoveiand and Dr. Young I was read and adopted. I immediately after this actlnn wa takes, however, Thorne again started his attack on the conference and J. W. Burroughs presented a DetitionNirni ! by 150 members of the former Taylor street church, asking that the union ! De dissolved and activities returned to : Third and Taylor streets. Thorne ' moved the adoption of the recommend- I ations and Sam Connell seconded the ' motion. Amadee Smith at this time j moved as a substitute that the signers ! 01 me petition De allowed the privilege of establishing an entirely new church at Third and Taylor streets. Thorne sprang to his feet and said: "Do I understand that thla nrri.. with it a plan to dissolve the union, restore the Taylor street church to the position of First church ?' Pastor Kakes Charge. "It certainly does not," exclaimed ' Smith. "It means that you who have 1 made the objection to the union are ' given a place where you can set up a i new ciiurcn, independent or the First : church, taking unto yourselves thoso ' among the congregation of the Taylor ' Street church who have persistently ! oojecteu to tne union of the two churches." "Do we get the parsonage with this change?" asked Thorne. "No, you do not. We will be willing to deed to a new church organized by ' you, the property at Third and Taylor! streets, however," replied Smith. The motion carried by a big major- ' ity, the same vote that sustained the ' bishop's ruling on the united churches. ! Again Thome demanded an lmmedi- 1 ate ruling on his protest of 4000 words against the action of the conference, : and Dr. Young accused him of unfair dealings, declaring it to be impossible for a ruling on so lengthy a document without time to study It, An ad-: Journed meeting until Thursday night 1 was iinaiiy agreed npon, when Super- ', intendent McDougall will give his rul ing. Bishop Kakes Plea. The meeting closed with an address Dy Bishop Cooke, in which he declared he had been assailed most viciously with anonymous letters besmirching his character and the character of men and women , of the church, which he termed cowardly and vile. - 1 He pleaded for unity, and for action that will clear up the cloud of dis content that has ruptured the church. He warned against law suits which were threatened, declaring that men, women and families of the church will be disgraced in the public eye If the matters got into court. "The dream and hope of Methodism in Portland is doomed If the churches divide. Neither church will be able to support itself as churches sh6uld be. You have admitted that. I have not the least sympathy with the persist ent dissenters and their course will be short.' . j The new pastor who will . succeed ' Dr. Young was formerly of Iowa, and j jjaier jiMiur w iue rirsi iu. to.
