DECIDE PORT
CASE SOON
THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE
PORT OF BANDON WILL BE
DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT.
CASE IS IMPORTANT.
A decision by Judge Coke in the
Port of Bandon case Is expected be
fore long, says the Coquille Sentinel,
all the evidence having been taken
some time ago and written briefs
submitted by the counsel.
County Attorney Liljcqvist informs
us that he began tho suit on the part
of the state to abolish the Port of
Bandon at the request of Governor
West. There aro five main points on
which the state is relying to support
its contention that tho Port of Bnn-
(lon 1,a8 1,0 'Kal existence, though
one of them, if sustained, will also
wipe out the Port of Coquille. and
leave the river without any Port Dis
trict, if the valility of latter Is also
attacked.
The first contention of the state is
that there cannot be two ports in the
same river, that the one first estab-
ished is the only port that has any le
gal existence.
The second point is that the polls
for the election at which the Port of
Bandon was established wero closed
it seven o'clock, when the law re
quired that they should bo kept open
until nii-ht nV1n,.l.

contained 10,500 acres from
which the runoff was into the terri-
tory of the Port of Coos Bay and tho
upper river port, being over the di
vide in the former case.
But in tho matter of tho election
precincts, if the Court holds that the
3lL'ctlon was void because the pro
I c'ncts wur-' not properly designated
a win apparently invalidate not only
tho election ut which the Port of Ban-
Ion was established but also the elec
tion at which the Port of Coquillo was
launched.
And the thing by no means ends
lnere rr if "H-'so elections arc Invali-
,,atc(1 I'ecauso there was a technical
