NO. 6 TO) Decision of Indiana Jurist is That 1 License is Constitutionally Illegal. Portland, March 7. -While the saloon high license-question is bcinu it;:itntcl, and wi' air lul1 that the Mi' I calamity of the Ions of a saloon lute mid l Ii tt would result from the adoption uf the fl.OOO licence, likewise tlmt 1 lie c ity trramry would Iki visited wilh another calamity cqiiully ns deplorable, let unreuieni 1 1 1-r tli.it h liquor syndicate offered the city of Han Fratioihco per k nt of the, gross reclts of all sa loons if tlic syndicate Maa granted a monopoly ot llio saloon buiioevH in that municipality. From the re maining 50 pn cent the dealers would pay for their "good," li cence jmjKised, rent", wagm ' fm jilwycM, light, beat and all other ei jifiiHfs of the liiixinrsn.

Hut looking beyond thin propos ed high lietitse there ti unspeaka ble joy and c oinfort for those of na who would have the aaloou forever extoi -minuted, from not only Pott land, hut every iuch of American soil, in tho lifws that routes to us from Indiana that the seed has been there sown that may speedily ac complish that in out happy result. Circuit Judge Samuel R. Artmau of that state Ims handed down a deci sion that, if affirmed by the Su premo Court of the United Slatea, will HiipprrsH every aaloon in tbia country, and none will be left to tell tho .story of their downfall. A proceeding had been brought to compel tho issuance of a liquor licenso to a man who s night to maintain a saloon in a prohibited district. In rendering his decision the court not only denied the ap plication but emphatically declared that huIoodh cannot be legally li ft used ttnywhero in the Uuited States, because of a constitutional piohibition. Hete is the full text ol tho reasoning of the court: The question this court has to decide in the case is, can the state, under Ibe guise of police legulutioo looking to the preservation of pub lic mo.alH, license the aaloon busi ness? It in the betlled law of the land that any occupation that naturally and inherently endangers t"he health peace, Kafoty, morals aud welfare of tho peoplo iH unlawful aud a public nuisance. A public nuisance may be abated, under the civil law, by injunction, and, if the nuisance keeper fails to obey the injunction, ho inn at fnce the court for con tempt. In all probability this rem edy would be preferable to criminal proceedings. In the abseuce- of a license, the police power of the state regards any business, the inherent charac ter, ten Jeucy and effect of which is to destroy the public health, the public morals or the public safety, us immoral aud unlawful. The leg islature of Indiana bus enacted its condemnation of the business by re quiring that the nature of alcoholic drinks and their effects ou the hu man Hyatein shall be included in the branches to be regularly taught in the common schools of the state. J I is not making the case too strong to say that it is within, the know ltdije of every private citizen of av etage information as to current events that the business kills many, (Continued on page 4.)

At about 12 o'clock Saturday night Ira VVituberly's store at Dram, was entered by burglars, who pried open the front door. They loaded the safe with explo sives and were ready to touch it off when C. T. Hoover, an employe in the store, returning from a lodge meeting, entered the store as was his custom to leave Lis lodge books. Findiog the door had been broken open, be stepped to the sidewalk and called to the other lodge mem bers who had just passed on. The burglars opened fire upon Hoover and E. P. Regan, Southern Pacific night operator, who had accompa nied him. Two shots narrowly missed their mark. Hoover and Regan made a hasty retreat aud were fired at again twice, by the fleeing robbers. No clew as to the identity of the robbers has been obtaiued, but it is thought that they may be discharg ed railroad employes, a number of whom had been lounging around the depot awaiting the night train.

Monday evening the Commercial Club passed strong resolutions re questing of the state board of the Oregon National Guards the alot mcnt of a company for Cottage Grove and yesterday a petition signed bv nearly every business man of the city was sent in. prom ising every support and encourage ment that citizens could give in the maintenance of a company at this place. More than enough names are on the roll to lorra a company, but un doubtedly several will fail to meet all requirements upon examination. On this account there will be an opportunity for others who have not already applied to become mem bers of the company. It is the desire of those most in terested in the formation of the company that all young men who are eligible, of the community have an equal chance to join. Those who have not signed their names may do so by calling on Harry Metcalf nt the store of Metcalf & Brund. Arrangements have been made for the building of an armory that will be complete and an ornament to the city. The company will probably be mustered in within the next month. A one thousand foot t itle range will be furnished by the government upon which there will le regular target practice, which will give our well known marksmen a chance to make a record for then selves and do honor to the city. Many attractive features come with the organization of the com pany, for the members, and the new armory will prove a home of delight. Those who succeed in passing the examination now will be the fortuuate ones, for when the boys tnru out iu uniform others will be anxious to join the ranks, better better get you; name in now. J. C. Johnson, Harry Metcalf and Bert Lawson have been promi nent and very active in securing the company, all good men and de serve much credit. As a special leason for their taa?e iu military matters, they werfi in active service iu the Phillipines with the 2d Ore gon Volunteer Iiegiment. West Side School Notes.

In a very interesting decision given in the Supreme Court of Maine it is held that a laborer or a person who performs manual labor for wages under the uirection of an employer Is entitled to file a lien on logs for wagea due but that one who contracts to cut and haul all the logB and lumber on a definite tract of land at a filed price per thousand is as to that work a con tractor and not a laborer, and hence is not entitled to a lien for such labor as he personally performs. Mike Kebblebeck, foreman of the Booth Kelly Co. logging camps on Mill creek at Wendling was in the city for a couple of days. He states they are running the mill steadily at that point but are in want of men. At an adjourned meeting of the Western Oregon Lumber Manu facturers Association held at the rooms of the Commercial Club, sev eral of the mill men from out of town were present but owing to the absence of some of the officers an adjournment was taken to the second Friday in April. It ia ex pected at that time that matters of importance to the mill men in this section of the county will come up and some definite statement will be made as to the probable increase in the rate from $3.10 to $5.oo to Bay points made. It is also hoped to have the new Association start off with a bright future before it. John Tomseth, un employe of J. H. Chambers at A lea had the mis fortune to get a piece of steel in his eye which necessitated a trip to Portland. He has now returmed and states his eye is getting along nicely. Report has it that J. K. Young is intending to start up his mill on Brumbaugh Creek for the purpose of cutting ties. It is probable that Mr. Young, during the summer will put in power machinery to re place the water power he is now using. What effect the strike of the mill workers will have on the product of the mills iu thia section of the country is problametic The mills ou the Columbia River are increasing their power and force with the expectation that it will in crease their orders. The offer of Mayor Lane of Portland to act be tween the opposing parties if all other efforts fail is a good move aa the loss to the manufacturers and other money interests of Portland to say nothiug of the loss to the strikers themselves by this time has run into hundred of thousands of dollars.
