ENOLEY JUSTICES
 HAVING TROUBLE
INFERIOR COURT CANNOT BE ES- TABLISHED UNLESS TWO OF THEM RESlGN-MAY BLOCK THE PENDING MEASURE.

Ensley. September 1-(speeial)-There is a very interesting controversy going on in Ensley over the bill now pending in the legislature to establish an Inferior court in Ensley in lieu of the justice of peace courts now in existence. There are three justices of the peace in this beat, two of these were elected by the people and one was appointed by the governor Before the court could go into effect these justices of the peace that were elected by the people would have to resign. And right here comes the rub. One of the justices, c. II. Mandy, has no opposition for the judgeship but the other two justices are aspirants for the office of clerk of the court An agreement must be reached by these justices before the bill will get on the calender A settle ment does not seem very probable within the next ten days, at which time the leg islature will be adjourned The chances for Ensley to have an Inferior court are not very bright at the present. The en- tire Ensley bar went before the Jefferson county delegation this afternoon, to ap- peal to them for assistance in the mat ter, but the representatives are unable to help them until the justices settle their family affairs"
 The docket of the Police court was very heavy this morning. Thirty cases came before Alderman Philips, who is acting mayor In place of Mayor Scott, who has gone to Memphis on a business trip. The net proceeds from today's fines amount ed to about S225 The most important cases were those of J. W. Johnson, charg- ed with an assault with weapon and carrying concealed weapons. His cases were continued until tomorrow morning Dave flanagan. charged with an assault With a weapon, was fined s25. The Ensley public schools opened today with unusually bright prospects. All the grades were arranged and the school work is moving off well. Most of the new text books have arrived and stu dents are experiencing very. litle trouble along the lines of not having any books which was a great intolerance to some of the schools earlier.

LONG LIFE OF WOOD PIPE
Portland WOFI6men Unearth Water
Mains That Had Not Been Used
For Nearly Fifty Years.

While workmen were engaged in
tearing up Madison street prepara-
tory to laying down new water
pipe before the street was improved,
they found the old main to consist
of long stretches of wooden pipe
ranging from 8 to 10 inches in di-
ameter with a 24-inch hole for the
water to run through.
The pipe was laid many years
ago when the system was in the
hands of the old Portland Water
Company. The exact time it was
laid varies, according to numerous
old-timers, from 38 to 4S years. At
that time all the pipes in the city
were made of old trees cut down in
front of the place where the main
was to be laid
This line Of pipe is quite different
from others found in this city with
in late years inasmuch as the bark
is still on the trees. The pipes vary
in length from 10 to 20 feet and
were banded together by thin
piece of sheet iron.-Portland
Journal.

of Mrs. Gertrude e. Fenner, Marion,

the use Of One Minute Cough Cure.
She says: "The coughing and
straining so weakened me that ]
ran down in weight from 14S to so
pounds. / tried a number OF
remedies to no avail until l used
One Minute Cough Cure. Four

strengthened my lungs and re-
stored me to my normal weight,
health and strength" Sold by

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott'S SEmulSioniSt Sthemod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
Scott'S Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

MULKEY is SENATOR
VIII Take His Seat If Special
Session of Legislature Is
Called.

Concerning the filling of vacancies
in several Senatorial districts in
Oregon, Governor Chamberlain
says in a recently published inter
view:
Regarding the calling of special
elections, to fill vacancies, if I were
to convene the legislature, | would
call for special elections in the
Nineteenth senatorial district to
fill the vacancy caused by Senator
Fulton's election to the United
States senate and his resignation
from the state senate; in the Tenth
senatorial district, to fill the
vacancy caused by the appointment,
acceptance and qualifying ofSenator
Daily of the federal office of sur
veyor-general of Oregon; in the
Ninth senatorial district, to fill the
vacancy caused by Senator Will
liamson's election to congress.
81 should pay no heed to the
status of Senator Mulkey Of Polk
county who declares that he is a
legal resident of Polk county,
although he is living in Ashland
and serving as president of the
state normal school. The law is
plain-legal residence is matter
of intent, and the citizen determines
it for himself. Only by voting in
local election or otherwise declar-
ing that he has changed his legal
residence, can it be changed. A
man, as every one knows, could re-
tain his legal residence for one
hundred years and live elsewhere,
if only he declares his intention of
so retaining it.
"Nor would ] pay heed to the
status of Frank Davey, repre-
sentative from Marion county, who
is living in Portland.
81 will say, however, were it
general election / would not hesitate
to show disapproval Of legislators
living under a hat as the ex-
preston goes, or, in other words,
living in a county to represent
which they we're not elected, while
all the time insisting upon appear
ing in the legislature as members.
"But for the fact that the law re-
quires the governor to call special
elections to fill vacancies, I would
not call them for the special
session."

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
Thursday, November 20, Designated
as a Day of General Thanks
giving.

The president issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation last
Saturday in the following terms:
"By the president of the United
States ofAmerica. A AProclamation
The season is at hand when, ac-
cording to the custom of our people,
it falls upon the president to appoint
day Of praise and thanksgiving
to God. During the last year the
Lord has dealt bountifully with US,
giving us peace at home and abroad
and the chance for our citizens to
work for their welfare unhindered
by war, famine or plague. 1t be-
hooves us not only torejoice greatly
because of what has been given US,
but to accept it with solemn sense
Of responsibility, realizing that
under heaven it rests with ourselves
to show that we are worthy to use
Alright that which has been intrust-
ed to our care.
"In no other place and at no
other time has the experiment of
government of the people, by the
people and for the people, been
tried on so vast scale as here in
our own country in the opening
years of the twentieth century.
Failure would not only be dread
full thing for us, but a dreadful
thing for all mankind, because it
would mean loss of hope for all
who believe in the power and the
righteousness of liberty. There
fore, in thanking God for the
mercies extended to US in the past,
we beseech Him that He may not
withhold them in the future, and
that our hearts may be aroused to
war steadily for good and against
all forces of evil public and private.
"We pray for strength and light,
so that in the coming years we
may with cleanliness, fearlessness
and wisdom do our allotted work
on earth in such manner as to
show that we are not altogether
unworthy Of the blessings we have
received.
"Now, therefore, l, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as
day of general thanksgiving, Thurs
day, the 26th of November, and do
recommend that throughout the
land people cease from their won't
ed occupations, and in theirseveral
homes and places of worship,
render thanks unto Almighty God
for his manifold mercies.
SIN witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be
Done at the City of Wash
ington, this 31st day Of October, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and three, and of the
independence of the United States
