clubs in the two counties, but are as
sured they Will all be IN line. The club
work is getting to be an important fea-
ture of the campaign, and great deal
depends upon the enthusiasm shown at
the Portland meeting. Every club
should send its full quota of delegates
and see that its best men are chosen.
Oregon is in the foreground of politics.
and its election next year will be indi-
cative of the political feeling everywhere.
The matter of choosing delegates should
not be left in the hands of a few inter-
ested people, but large number should
be present and a general expression given
in making the choice. Remember the
meeting of the Mckinley club this even
ing in the council chambers.
The Klickitat bond case is being heard
today before the supreme court of Wash
ington' at Olympia. This is case in
which great deal of interest is being
taken in The Dalles, since of the war
rants which efforts are being made to
redeem, over $50, 900 worth are held in
this city. Klickitat county is making
strenuous effort to improve her financial
condition, and the outcome of this case
will have an important bearing on her
future credit. There are several points
at issue, chief among them being the
contention whether or not bonds can be
issued to take up warrants where the in
terest added to tho principal exceeds
the amount of Indebtedness allowed by
the constitution. In this case the prin-
cipal itself nearly equals the constitu-
tional limit and when the interest of
the warrants to be taken up is added,
exceeds it. The case has already been
decided in the superior court of Kick
itat county and goes on appeal to the
supreme court. H. S. Wilson, of Hunt
ington & Wilson and G.. II. Spaulding,
prosecuting attorney of Klickitat county,
are appearing in the case for The Dalles
warrant holders and the county, while
the other side is represented by some
Seattle attorneys. The suit is a friendly
one, and it's decision will settle one way
or the other Klickitat's present attempt
to bond portion OF her indebtedness.
