NO DOUBT OF LEGALITY DF VOTE IN JUNE Attorney General Declares Election Proper. GENERAL ELECTION Chief Legal Authority In State Haw Temerity to Announce That Coat ing Bend Election Is Legal 1st Spite of "Heavy Thinkers" Here Duncan and Wiley Proved Correct. As was to be expected, some of tha.. wiseacres have suddenly discovered that the order for the special clectloa to vote on the highway election t vote on the highway bonds, la no good. This attitude does not come as a surprise to Messrs. Duncan and Wiley. They' anticipated every rjoej tion that has been raised, and manjt that have not been. That la why titer spent days preparing the order triofc was signed by the County Court. The first bfg question rested on whethef the election that Li to ho held on June 3 Is a special or a gen eral election. If a "special" election, then the bond question must go on the ballot by petition. If a 'central"" election, then the county court can. by Its own act, place the question be fore the people. The wise ones raid It wag a special election, ind tbe fact that the order said ."general election"' knocked it out. But, Duncan and Wiley knew better. They knew the law and framed the order c-cord- ingly. The discussion, however, haearaer so positive and, by the wt- 't wsa entirely outside of the ranK3 of the attorneys of the city that Dii'ifct Attorney placed the matter before Attorney General Brown. No one w'U question the opinion of this gentle man and he said in atelojrfm. to Mr. Duncan: Election June 3rd Is gentnl elec tion within meaning of County road bonding act of 1913. Bend elect 'or may be called for that day, -s provid ed in said act: and held by same elec tion boards; and question pr'nted en same ballot, as for measure) to be voted upon. That disposes ot all the (.intentions of tbe vest-pocket legal '.umaurljs. It settles every question that bss been raised, stamps the prooeedincs as regular and for all time lettled the legality of the order of iha County court, for It Is based upon decisions of tbe state supreme court. BLACK WAR BREAD AGAIN IN EUROPE PARIS, April 25.

Federal wheat director Julius Barnw said that the Americans will continue to eat white bread despite th9 retura of the Europeans of the war bread basis. DIRTY PRACTICES TO BEJEL1MINATED Reports which havo been brought In from time to time' recently certain, parts of the city relative to writing and drawings on public buildings and other places, show that this practice has reached a point where steps must be taken to Btamp it out. The offense has been committed by children, who do not realize tho grav ity ot Its naturo nor tho penalties li able for those who perpetrate writing of this character. Thoro is going to be a genoral cloanup of this kind along with other pests in tho city, declare, those who ore out to elevate the moral conditions here. A prom inent womnn declared today that un less this practice ceased immediately, those guilty would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. j. ml H ?! , K'VJ
