light ill earnest. That's to plain that
nooie call doubt it. Human nature
would have to change mightily . if the
citizens of ti e natural location fur the
county would give Hp Biter a decision
secured through such a trick.
There is but one way to end the
county scat scrap, an'd that is for the
county to own its court house. This
both candidates for county judge have
publicly pledged themselves to do, so
tl ere is no chance for the- acceptance
of Wallowa's offer.
That is well known at Wallowa and
is probably why the offer was made.
The offer of $5,000 real money and
splendid tite given to tbe county by
Lutei prise, is 50 percont better finan
cially for the county, even if the "city
hall" offer by Wallowa was bona fide.
Just how much dependence can be
placed In the "'city hall" dream is evi
denced by tho way in which Wallowa

The following dispatch regarding
John M. Herman, Jr., who was re
cently taken to a Portland sanitarium,
explains itself:
Tacorna. Wash., May 8. Afflicted
with attacks of mental aberration dur
ing which be I- unable to control his
actions and will go places and do and
say things exactly opposite to his de
sires, John Herman, a surveyor, whose
home is in Oregon, this afternoon
made application at police headquart
ers for protection, asking that his
physicians In Portland be notified of
his whereabouts.
"I am troubled with spells of tem
porary insanity," said Herman, "and
during one of these attacks I ran away
from the Mountain View Sanitarium,
at Portland, yesterday. When these
spells come on me I cannot do as I
wish, in fact I always do exactly
opposite. 1 imagined that some one
was after me at the sanitarium, and
so I quietly skipped out. I had
money and boarded a train for Taooma.
When these attacks are not ou my
mind is as clear as any one's. My
reason for applying for protection is
that I am afraid another attack will
come on and I might go further
away."
Physicians at the sanitarium phoned
the authorities here to hold tbe patient
until some one called for him.
Herman has a wife anil two children
living in Wullowa County, Oregon,
lie had been in the Mountain View
Sanitarium about three weeks when
he escaped.

foreman. They were emoaneled Mon
day morning and Judge Crawford es
pecially charged them to inquire into
tne rumors In regard to violations of
the prohibition law. His charsre was
specific and plain and is likely to bear
iruit.
After rending tho local option law to
tho Rrand jury, the court said :
"Uoutleuien of ti e grand jury, the
people of Wallowa county voted this
county "dry" under this act of the legis
lature by a majority vote. This being
the law of this county the people have a
right to have the law enforced. It is
not a mere perfunctory matter the
court's reading this law 'to you. It is
a iluty you owe tho people to investigate
under this law, and if liquors are being
sold or , given away in UiIb ' county,
prwent indictmeDts against tho parties
guilty of it. About a year ago tbe
gra:.d iurv returned a number of indict
ments against nnrtles for selling liquors
in this county the parties for tho moet
part being those engaged in the business
and they pleaded guilty to a number of
indictments. The Court nt that time
imposed severe finos against the parties
engaged in the business upon one or
two indictments, and the other indict
mcnts, that were standing against them,
were continued for sentence or disposi
tion, with the express statement by tho
Court that if the parties heeded the law
and afterwards refrained from further
selling or disposing of intoxicating
liquors, that these standing indict
ments, or indictments not disposed of,
would he disposed ol in such a manner,
as not to injure them ; but that if they
continued in the matter, they need not
expect any mercy at the hands of the
Court. Some of these parties have gone
out of business, and the Court has di
rected the dismissal of those indict
ments against them. Other of the
parties have-conducted themselves in
such a way, that there is a strong sus
picion that they have been eng: ged in
the business since that time. No
judicial knowledge or evidence, legul
evidence to that effect lias coma to, the
knowledge of the Court. But rumor
has it, that they are engaged, and have
been engaged in that matter. On yes
terday morning one ot tbe preachers of
this town annour.ced it, that within tbe
last week or two six barrels of beer had
been shipped to Lostine. It is my duty to
call your attention to theso facts, gentle
men. It is tho purpose of the Court to
enforce this law to the full extent, if it
can, and this law requires the Court to
enforce it. It is your duty to investi
gate these matters, and help the Court
out in this matter. I hope you will
make a thorough investigation of this
matter, and as a result of vour investi
gation, with the course that the Court
will take, it will make this county what
the majority of the voters want it to
be, a "dry" county in fuct as well as
in theory."
The jury returned lucsday evening
tne lint true and true oliis an above
stated, and another true bill Wednes
day. It Is still in session.

How the North Country Sees It
From the Flora Journal
The north country Is not as "dead
easy" us some may think. It was we,
and not Enterprise, who nominated W.
G. Locke and that before any other
man was in tho field for nomination
for county commissioner. Wo hnd
nothing against Mr. McDonald, he is
a splendid man, hut we thought we
were and still think we are entitled to
a lopreseutative on tho county board.
A court house proposition must soon
be considered, wherever it Is decided
that (he site shall be. Mr. locke has
not made his opinion on this subject
known, but from the cautious, business
like way he handles his own affairs,
we do not think any one need be afraid
of his needlessly running the county
In debt.
