Mrs. W. J. Gordon, formerly a re
sident of this city, was struck by the
Shasta limited at Canby last Thurs
day evening and Instantly killed.
Mrs. Gordon was on her way to pray
er meeting at the time of the acci
dent and was struck by the train
while crossing the track. A man who
witnessed the horrible accident ran
Into a nearby grocery, and asked the
proprietors to come to the woman's
assistance, as he did not know who
she was. The young men went from
the store to the scene of the acci
dent to find It was their own mother
who was killed. The Gordons will
be remembered by many Grants
rnss friends, as they resided here
five years ago, at which time Harry
Gordon, one of the sons, held a posi
tion in the Geo. Calhoun clothing
store as salesman. Mrs. Gordon la
survived by her husband, W. J.
Gordon, and one daughter, who be
fore here marriage was Miss Iva
Gordon, and five sons, Earl, Harry,
Adelbert, Lionel, who were at one
'lino Grants Tass residents, and an
other son who was not known here.
Mrs. Gordon was an estimable wom
an and the report of her death In
this manner will be a sad blow to
her many friends In this city.

LOCAL OPTION CASE.
Monday before Judge Calkins
at the county court the demurrers
to the liquor Indictments were ar
gued by R. G. Smith, In behalf of de
fendants, and by District Attorney!
Mulkey for the state.
The Issue 13 whether or not the
local option liquor law is In force
: in Grants Pass since the adoption of
the home rule amendment to the
constitution. In other words, wheth
er the defendants, Williams, Hearn,
Pilkingtou, Whltsett and Howell
can be tried now for violations com
mitted prior to the adoption of the
home rule amendment.
Counsel for defense argued that
the constitution is self-operating,
and as soon as the home rule
amendment was proclaimed by the
governor that cities had the right
to license and to regulate the sa
loons. It was contended that this
case was exactly the same as the
Medford case of Hall vs. Dunn".
Counsel for defense cited another
case from Kentucky which was al
most Identical with the one tried
here. It was held In that case that
the state could not prosecute for vio
lations of the law after the enact
ment of a general law taking a city
out of loal option territory.
At the time the Medford charter
was amended local option was In
force In all of Jackson county, in
cluding the city of Medford, but af
ter the amendment to said charter
In 1905 the prohibition order made
in June, 1905, In pursuance of the
first local option election held In
November, 1904, was annulled by
the amendment to the charter.
In Hall vs. Dunn, 52 Ore., page
486, the court said:
"Prior to the amendment of the
fundamental law of Oregon mention
ed, the legislative assembly possess
ed plenary power to alter the char
ter of Medford so ns to take the ter
ritory embraced within the boun
daries of that city out of the provi
sions of the local option liquor law."
Of course, If this could then be done
by the legislature, It can now be
done by an amendment to the con
stitution." District Attorney Mulkey contend
ed for the state that the home rule
amendment was not effective until
an election was held In Grants Pass!
on the question of prohibition, and
that such election could not be held(
until November, 1911, or November,'
1912, and that the local option order
made In 1908 by the county court
under the local option law would
continue In effect within Grants
Pass. Therefore the defendants
could be prosecuted for such viola
tions. The following was the brief on de
murrer argued by R. G. Smith, Esq.:
"The home rule amendment pro
vides that the exclusive power over
the Rnla of Intoxicating liquors Is In
vested In Incorporated towns and
cities. The amendment repeals by
Implication all laws In conflict with
It. Prior to the enactment of this
amendment the city of Grants Pass
had been Incorporated and given the
power to prohibit, regulate and li
cense the sale of liquors within the
city, but that authority was suspend
ed by the voting of prohibition un
der the local option law.. Under the
local option law the authority to
enact prohibition In the county Is
vested In the voters In the county.
By a majority vote prohibition can
be enacted throughout the county.
The home rule amendment gives the
exclusive power to regulate the li
quor traffic within Incorporated
towns to the municipality. The two
arp absolutely Inconsistent. The au
thority to prohibit ran not be vest
ed In both a municipality and the
county that embraces the municipal
ity. Therefore the latter act Im
pliedly repeals the locnl option law
In relation to the vote by counties
and any order made In pursuance of
snche election. One or the other
must yield.
