Deputy District Attorney W . C. Iienbow believes he has discovered one large aud vital flaw in the Home Rule amendment which was passed by the state electorate last week. He finds hi its provisions a requirement absolutely perversive of the sovereign powers ol the state, and is cocksure that if the law ever wetil to a test before the court o f last resort, the amend ment would be knocked galley- west, says the Portland Telegram. Briefly stated, Mr. Benbow main tains that the insertion of the word “ exclusive” in the title of the act will be its uudoiug, iu that the reg ulation o f the liquor traffic is a police power, aud as such is a sov ereign right of the commonwealth, and not to be delegated away to any minor authority, such as the municipality is. “ If it were possible for the state to delegate away one of its sover eign powers to a minor municipal ity, it could delegate awgy all thp rest of them and there would be endless confusion aud chaos and conflict of authority as between the state aud the municipality. There are, of course, instances where certain police powers are delegated to the city authorities, but when the Home Rule measure undertakes to grant exclusive au thority over the liquor traffic to the municipality, it oyerreacljes itself aud I am confident the net will be lieM unconstitutional if a fight is made against it.” This is I he first time that the new widely-discussed measure has been attacked on legal grounds, although there have been a host of legal opinions which maintain that it was a loosely drawn measure in the first place. In addition to this it has been hard to find two legal lights who interpret the provisions of the measure in identically the same way. New Meat Market, II BIT OF H. S. TROUNCES COTTAGE GROVE. VOL.

Wise and Foolish Lows- It transpires that seven measures were passed by the people of Ore gon at the recent election, some just squeezed through, as follows: Establishing a branch asylum in eastern Oregon, which received an immense vote east of the moun tains; Monmouth normal, home amendment, employers liability law, the Rogue river fishing bill, preventing catching fish in Rogue river except with hook and line, the good roads hill aud the judic ial amendment. The new asylutn will be selected by the state officials and will be within five miles of Baker, Pendle ton or Union- The Rogue river fishing bill, Dome Rule bill, and employers liability act are without merit.

Langstou, who re cently located on the mountain between Cottage Grove and I xj - rane, is a practical basket maker and is equipped with the necessary tools to manufacture all kinds of baskets from the smallest market basket to the large cloths baskets. Mr. Langston manufactures all his baskets from native ash and maple and thev are all reinforced and very substantially bound and guaranteed to outlast a dozen of the ordinary custom-made willow or chip baskets. While you pay a little more for Mr. Langston’s bas kets the great strength aud dura bility of them is well worth the extra price. When in need of anything in baskets drop a card to the Ixirane postoffice to J. H. Langston. He, however, expects to move to or near Cottage Grove so.m that he may lie more conve niently located to the trade.
