iThe trip of the court to Kings

ot a success so far as the project

Jieeessary to secure some right of

portion of the Edwards farm to one
tide and the court offered to pur
chase this tract, if what they believ
ed would be a reasonable figure
ould be accepted and, in turn, dis-
JKise of it to a neighbor whose land
oined it. Hut the price of $75 per

NOTICES AND COPIES OF
MEASURE TO LIQUOR
DEALERS.
PACKAGES MUST BE LABELED
New Statute Aimed at "Blind Pig-
gers;" 1913 Laws Contain Acts
Affecting Polk County; Eastern
Part of County Now in State
Game Reserve.
Notices are being sent to all of the
saloon keepers in the Twelfth judic
ial district, including Polk, Yamhill
and Tillamook counties, by District
Attorney Upjohn, calling attention
to the provisions of the new law reg
ulating the shipment of intoxicating
liquors into dry territory. Copies -of
the law are accompanying these no
tices.
Under the provisions of this act
it is required that with each shipment
of intoxicating liquor to territory
where the sale of liquor is prohibited
by law, must go a label stating the
name of tllie consignee, the consign
or, the name and address of the per
son ordering such liquors, the kind
and quality of intoxicating liquors
in the package and the name of the
place from and the place to which
such package is being shipped.
To Stop "Blind Pigging."
The law grew out of the move
started some time ago by Governor
West to stop shipments of liquor to
"blind pigs" and other unlicensed
and illegal places for the sale of in
toxicating liquor. Under tfce law it
is easy for a peace officer to deter
mine whether such shipments are
being made for legal or illegal pur
poses. Notices are also being sent by Dis
trict Attorney Upjohn, with copies
of the new law, to sheriffs, marshals
and chiefs of police in the district
relating to the abatement of disor
derly houses as nuisances.
The new general laws of Oregon
for lf13 contain a few acts which
particularly refer to Polk county, ac
cording to the District Attorney.
Polk in Game Preserve.
Tn the new game code Polk county
is placed in district No. 1, with those
counties lying west of the Cascade
mountains.
Another law provides for a state
game reservation, to be known as
the "Capital Game reservation,"
which is situated in the eastern part
of Polk county and the western part
of Marion county.
The law has also been changed
relative to the terms of court in
Polk county; under the new law

NEW MACHINERY AT LOCAL
PLANT TO COST $6,000.
All Improvements of Permanent
Character; Steam Heating Plant
Now Being Installed.
That the Southern Pacific com
pany contemplates other and perma
nent improvements at the local
shops in this city is amply evidenced
bv the many large expenditures
either in progress now or under con
templation. At the present time a
system or steam heat is being in
stalled at itlie shops, including the
stoi room, oil house and other
buildings and when the present ex
pediting of new and heavy machin
ery shall be accomplished the com
pany will have spent more than
.$6,000.
Night Crew Employed.
Work is still rushing, more repair
work is piling up and it has been
found necessary to put on a night
crew to handle the increased busi
ness. All the new machinery, which
includes a heavy wheel press, is be
ing installed on large concrete foun
dations and everything about the
shops indicates its permanent char
acter. This institution is one of the
most important in the city and, at
the present time, employs upwards
of 50 men, some of whom are skilled
mechanics and receive handsome
wages for their work.

TO SFJJtf
JUDGE HOLMES HEARS ARGU
MENTS ON MOTION TO DIS
SOLVE INJUNCTION BUT
MAKES' NO DECISION. ,
JUDGE GALLOWAY FIGURES
Has Defendant's Demurrer Under
Consideration; Holmes Makes Trip
to Dallas .Under Misapprehension;
Possible Happenings in Case Cit
ed; Ordinance May be Referred.
Although Judge Holmes on Wed
nesday heard arguments upon the
merits of the injunction suit brought
against the city and City Recorder
Gregory, by Walter J. Coy to pre
vent the issuance of. a third saloon
license, he rendered no decision, and
the matter appears far from final
Solution at this time. Although it
was understood by the defendant's
attorneys that Judge Galloway had
withdrawn from further considera
tion of the case, it appeared, upon
closer investigation, that he had not
done so.
On Monday, June 2," when Judge
Galloway heard the case just previ
ous to the going into effect of the
new law creating the twelfth judicial
district, the state -was then a party
to the action, and the defendants
entered a demurrer to the complaint.
Arguments were heard on this de
murrer and the same was taken un
der advisement by the court. Later,
when District Attorney Upjohn filed
his motion for non-suit so far as the
state was concerned, it was reported
that Judge Galloway had turned all
matters over to Judge Holmes -claiming
that he had no further jurisdic
tion. It appears, however, that ho
referred only to the motion to non
suit, and declared that the demurrer
was still before him and ; that he
would render a decision thereon in
a few days.
Judge Makes Special Trip.
Not understanding the matter fully
Judge Holmes made a special trip
to Dallas and on Wednesday called
up Judge Galloway over the tele
phone and then learned for the first
time, that he still had the demuirer
under consideration. Following th
receipt of this information, Judge
Holmes informed the attorneys that
he would take no action on the de
murrer and that there was really
nothing further to do until Judge
Galloway had passed upon the ques
tion now before him. However he
expressed a willingness to hear argu
ments upon the motion to dissolve
the injunction. Therefore a large
portion of the forenoon, Monday,
was taken up with these arguments,
but no decision was made.
What Might Happen.
Should Judge Galloway overrule
the demurrer, it will then be up to
the defendants to answer to the
complaint; this in turn will require
more time, and in the meantime, it
is declared that those opposing the
third saloon idea, will refer the new
ordinance, which permits the issu
ance of a license, to a vote of the
people as the law provides that they
may do, within 30 days from the pas
sage of the measure. Should the
Court sustain the demurrer sueh de
cision would act as a dissolution of
the injunction and nothing would
tlien remain in the way of the open
ing of the Chitty saloon.'
The whole case appears to be in a
muddled condition so far as the lay
man can determine, and if the at
torneys engaged in the proceedings
are entirely tamiliar with its rami
fications, they are an exceedingly
wise bunch of legal lights.
TO SPEND VACATION AT HOME
Carl Fenton to Have Charge of Clark
& Henery Offices.
Carl Fenton arrived in the city
yesterday for his annual vacation
and will have charge of the office
work for the Clark & Henery Con
struction company, paving contract
ors. It is also probable that he will
play first base for the Dallas base
bali club which will strengthen the
organization to a great extent.
Buys Real Estate Business.
Mose ManMon has purchased the
real estate business heretofore eon
ducted by A. J. I?aiham on Court
street, and taken possession of the
same. Mr. Barham found bis other
interests too insistent to permit of
his remaining in the business lontrer.
He ha a fine fruit ranch at Kenne-
wick, Washington, which required hi j
ersonal supervision at thu

that section to manage the harvest

il MERCHANTS
ORGANIZE
FINAL WORK IN FORMING AS
SOCIATION COMPLETED.
Secretary and Attorney and Two Ad
ditional Members of Managers Se
lected Wednesday Night.
Completion of the organization of
the Dallas Retail Merchants associa
tion was perfected at a meeting held
in the county court room at the court
house on Wednesday night at which
there was a good attendance of local
business men. II. II. I'elt was elect
ed as secretary and attorney for the
association and the personnel of the
board of managers was completed by
the selection of C. L. ("rider and S.
M. Kay, the full membership of the
board being: J. H. Craven, E. V.
Dalton, P. A. Finseth, U. S. Lough
arv, Conrad Stafrin, C L. ('rider and
S.'M. Ray.
The aim and objects of the asso
ciation are the same as those outlin
ed by the state association and iden
tical with the hundreds of other lo
cal associations throughout the
fctate. While one of the prime idi-as
is the protection of the members
against bad debtors, the promotion
of the best interests of the merchants
and all movements calculated to h ir
monize closer relations Itctween the
members is one of the objects of the
organization. The retail merchants
association is essentially a "boos
ter" lK)dy and will exert itself to
improve the general welfare and ltet
terment of the community. There
are now about l.j memliers but it is
expected that eventually every mer
chant in the city will have affiliated
with it. The admission fee is .V)
cents and the dues are 50 cents jkt
month.

Settlement of Linemen's Strike Per
mits Resumption of Operations;
Service to West Salem in Sight.
Actual operations in the electrifi

Portland, Eugene & Eastern (South
ern Pacific) was resumed on Wed
nesday, following the settlement of
the linemen's strike which has been
on for some weeks, and which put
a stop to nil improvement work, it
is said. The Salem Statesman is
authority for the statement that work
on the Salem, Falls City & Western
has begun. It is said that men were
put to work Wednesday and that
polos and wires will Ite put up as
rapidly as possible. It is further
predicted that "trains will le oht
iited between Salem and P.lack Rock
within a few weeks," and that the
car service will bo extended from Sa
lem to West Salem ns soon as the
electrification of the Falls City line
is completed.
At this end of the line no authen
tic information can be secured re
irarding the beginning of work on the
jS., F. C. & W. but it is possible that
the labor has been taken up at the
Salem end. Some time ago officials
of the road declared that the next
unit to be completed would le the
Falls City line from Salem to Dallas,
and pis-,ibly Falls City, although the
company has never Ksitively an
