UNION COUNTY IS
m FOR CERTAIN
SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DE
CISION OF CRAWFORD TECH
NICALITY PASSED.
Salem, July 13. In the Union
county local option case In which the
order of the county court declaring
mat county dry as the outcome of a
local option election. June, 1908, was at
tacked, the Supreme court Is divid
ed in a decision rendered today,
Julius Roesch, the brewer, alleged
the petition initiating the local op
tion proceedings in Union county was
insufficent; that notices of the elec
tion were inadequate, and that they
we.e not ported according to law.
Evidence was produced to show
that only three notices were posted
at Kamela precinct, when there
should have been five.
Chief Justice Moore wrote the opin
ion la which he holds the notices of
the election were sufficient. This Is
concurred in by Justice McBride and
Eakln. The dissenting opinion was
iwrltten by Justice Slater, and con
curred in by Juslice King.
If the failure to Dost notices at
I'Kameia precinct disfranchises over
rfWJO voters In Union county," wrote
McBride, "the failure in the small
est precinct In the state would dis
franchise every voter In the common
wealth, If a special election for the
entire state -should be called upon
some measure or an office." JuaMce
McBride also says he does not sup
pose "that it will make any great
difference whether thirsty citizens
of Union County get their supplies
at licensed saloons, as has been
their wont for these many years, or
are compelled to adopt the incon
venient methods frequently Dractlced
in so-called 'dry counties,' but the
principle involved here Is far-reaching,"
McBride holds a substantial com
pliance is all that is necessary un
less the negligence changes the resur ,
On the other hand, Slater contends
that In former cases the Oregon Su
preme court he'd that on special
elections, strict compliance with all
the statutory requirements, is man

Manager Frank Brown, of the Eth

the city today, Saturday, to prepare
the way for the arrival of the com

Vhen will be produced the grew,

ber being a capable performer in his
or her part.
Interspersed between acts will be
some very fetching specialties, the
music. In particular, being of a qual
ity to please the audience. That a
company of this quality should be
'willing to take chances In playing a
summer season in Enterprise Is cer
tainly a compliment to the town
which the people should appreciate.
That they will show their apprecla-
itlon by a liberal patronage Is confi
dently anticipated by the opera house
management. -
