MANY OREGON Towns Go Dry
The local option law became operative
in many counties OF Oregon, on the lst
inst, just at the time when Old Sol
turned on his hot wave over a wide
extent of the Pacific Coast, and those
addicted to use OF ardent liquors for
cooling off the human system were re-
ported to he in tribulation. 1t is in
vain to reason with them that alcohol,
being stimulant, only increases the
internal heat; they have tried it, and
surely know. it is useless to call at.
iention to the fact that it is used in
winter to warm up the system when
the atmosphere is chilly; it might
work that way on some people, but
not on all OF them. The fact is. q very
lenient conscience generally goes with
the drink habit, and excuses are found
to justify its use that are manifestly
contradictory and inconsistent.
AT Alton, Wyoming, on the Sd.
while workmen were digging an irri.
eating ditch, they blasted cement
bed, from the debris of which they
picked up particles of gold large as
wheat grains. 1t is estimated that
the one blast brought out 5000 in
coarse gold. But it was a pocket
and failed almost soon as it began.

Il Nay Have Some Significance In Republican
Conventions

Il Nay Have Some Significance in Republican
Conventions.
As announced in the STANDARD, the
case of Williams vs. the Spokane and
Northern Railroad Co. came up for
hearing in the Supreme Court, on
motion of defendant company to strike
from the records plaintiff Williams
petition for rehearing. Judge NJ. J.
Gordon appeared for the company and
Mr.. Will G. Graves was present to
represent his client, Williams. Judge
Gordon was modest in the presenta.
ton of his side of the controversy. He
said the court was amply able to pro-
tect itself, that he had intimated to
opposite counsel he would consent to
the withdrawal of tho document
moved against, the general tenor OF
which is Q reflection on the court.
Senator Graves, in reply, remarked
that the argument was not an attack
on the court; that his premises are
correct, If his conclusions are severe
that they were warranted from the
facts appearing in the record; that in
any event if the court considered the
document obnoxious, it will not make
the client suffer through his counsel's
indiscretion, but will permit another
printed argument to be filed.
This case has engendered much
feeling on both sides. 1t is said by
some of the politicians from Spokane
that Judge Gordon opposes the re.
nomination of Judge Dunbar for
Supreme Judge. because he made the
dissenting opinion on the second hear.
ing of the appeal, and made the fact
prominent that he (Gordon) did not
object to the amount OF the verdict
($33, OOO), and that there was an
assignment of error questioning the
correctness of this amount. Further.
more it puts counsel in the peculiar
position with his client on learning
about the lawyer having made such
concession in open court.
The language employed in Judge
Dunbar's minority opinion. If we
eliminate the harsh remarks contained
in Mr.. Graves printed argument,
would seem to warrant G. g deductions.
This lawyer is somewhat like Junius
in his style of composition.

aging or eountenancing hazing, began to-
day Midshipman stephen Decatur, Jr.,
OF Portsmouth, ~ H., being on trial
This charge is supported by one specl-

hazing OF fourth classman Gaylord
church. Of Meadville. Pa. There is also
a charge OF hazing under the act of ,lS7f,
under which there are two specifications.

holds however, that the power can only
be exercised after conviction before

dergone one trial for hazing and was
acquitted. lie Is regarded as one Of
