MAY GO TO The COURTS
The One Majority License Received
at Woonsocket Not sufici-
ent to Garry Question.

notwithstanding che fact that
license carried In the town of Woon.
socket by a majority of one, and the
:ity council gave its official sanction
to vote cast on the proposition, indi-
cations point to the lact that the
leeality of the majority will be taken
Tito the courts fer settlement.
Mayor Samuel Ramsey, who was
elected mayor of the town for three
successive terms, holds the opinion
that license did not carry, in that it
did not receive a majority Of the
votes cast at the election. There
is ole provision in the license law
which requires the proposition to
have a majority Of the legal voters,
but the law is lame in failing to
provide any method to ascertain how
many voters a town has. A de-
cision has been rendered In the
circuit court of the state, however,
which holds that il majority of the
highest vote, which in this instance
is that of mayor, is not cast in favor
of license the question has not
carried. At the recent election 215
votes were cat for mayor, and
license ircriNed but 1877, which less
than one-hali of the mayors vote.
According to the decision Of Judge
Smith. as he interpreted the law,
license would have required 1873 votes
10 carry at the election. Wien the
time comes to issue the license for
saloons in Woonsocket next July. it
is stated that a restraining order
will be issued against the mayor
signing the license and the case will
be brought before Judge Smith.
Mayor Ramsey is a prohibitionst.
and the majority of the council are
license men, consequently it is likely
that Woonsocket will have an ex.
citing time In court along in July. =

IN less than a week and were

local lodge to stand together like
brothers and see that he Odd Eel.
lows home was located in this city.
The next number Gu the program
was a vocal solo by Mrs. Joseph Swift,
Jr. Her accompaniment was played
by Miss Pearl Wilson. Mrs. Swift
has one of the very sweetest soprano
voices among the lady singers of the
city and her singing received the
heartiest appreciation. The audi
eiice refused to release her until she
lad favored it with an encore
Tie only recitation on the pro-
gram vas given by MIR. Roy Taylor,
d uember Of the local lodge. He
vas assisted by MIR. George Carter.
The selection was an extract from
a dramatic production, and Mr..
Taylor proved himself worthy of the
task of interpreting it. 1t was a
tini he'd piece Of art and the audience
applanded the reader at length.
"Cupids Dance" written as a
violin and piano duet, vas then
rendered by Louie and Sophia Lovln-
ger. Those present again demon
.strated their appreciation Of these
young peoples efforts by constant
applause which only ceased when
trey returned to the platform to give
another selection.
The regular annual address was
then delivered by the Reverend =.
M. LETTERS, pastor OF the First
Baptist church of this city. This
address was teening with wit;
strong and practical, altogether one
of the ablest expeditions OF the
fundamental principles on which Odd
Fellowship is constructed than has
been given before the local lodge In
many years. He a repeatedly in
terrupted by the applause of his
hearers and warmly congratulated
by them at the close Of he program.
This portion Of the evenings en-
tertainment was closed by a vocal
solo effectively rendered by Miss
Florence Nolt. Miss Pearl Perry
acted as her accompaniste, and iier
work at the piano was equal in every
way to that OF the singer. Miss Nolt
sought TO leave the room at once,
without responding to an encore, but
the audience, through their pro-
lonped applause said, "No'', and
She, too, gave a second selection.
| After a social chat and liberal
!ahd-shaking for about ten minutes,
a dance vas begun which lasted until
late in the evening-tne music for
tie same being furnished by FL. Il.

Aged Speculator in Mines Loses His
Fortune and Becomes Public
Charge.
Melvin A. Gould, who says he is a
second cousin of Jay Gould, is dan
gerously i'll in the county hospital in
Los Angeles. He is 10 years old, and
is suffering from lack of proper
nourishbent. The old man has been
living in his own cottage and has been
cared for by his foster daughter,
whom he had befriended in former
years. She is said to be no longer able
to care for him, and he must become
a county charge.
There is a mortgage on the cottage
and, If he dies there will be hardly
enough money to bury him. He once
was wealthy. Most of his property
was turned into cash in order that he
might speculate in mines. He lost
thousands of dollars trying to devel-
op a claim that was worthless.

Alleged Army Sergeant Walks Across
Continent in 6S Days.

A tall athletic looking man, who
said his name was Walsh and that he
was a sergeant in the United States
army, walked into he city hall yester-
day and asserted that he had walked
all the way from San Francisco, says
the New York Sun.
He said that his regiment was sta
toned at the Preside in San Fran
cisco and that he got a furlough in
order to win a wager he had made
that he would walk across the conti-
nent in record time
Walsh declared that he had walked
from the Pacific coast in So days, %
hours and that the previous best rec
ord was IS days. He had with him
several memorandum books contain
Ing about 1000 signatures Of the may
ors or some other executive Official
Of the cities and towns through which
he had passed Acting Mayor Nc
Gowan added his name 70 the LIST
The wager. walsh said. was made
by Colonel John Wand Of san Fran
cisco. who put up $4,000 with some
members Of the Golden Gate Athlet-
ic club that he could find a man who
could walk from coast TO coast in less
than rs days.
Walsh was selected by Colonel
Wand, so Walsh says. to do the trick.
and according to his statements yes
terday in the city hall he did the Jour
ney with about a dozen days to spare.
Walsh had a long tale OF adventures
to tell. One of the stories was a de-
scription Of how he had killed a man

klamath Falls, Ore, Aug. IA
Pelican lodge is in readiness for The
coming Of E. H. Hartman. his two
sons, wife and other members com.
posing the Hartman party. The
lodge is situated on the western
shore OF the Upper klamath lake al
the base Of Pelican mountain, and Is
about two and a half hours boat ride
from Klamath Falls.
The Lodge. as the place has al
ways been called. is perhaps back
half a mile from the lake, on Pelican
creek. a stream Of water so clear that
the smallest pebles can be seen roll
ing on the bottom. The creek is bor-
dered on either side by willows and
other shubbery, and on account OF its
many windings is very picturesque.
Its source is two large springs that
bubble forth the clearest, coldest
water Imaginable It has been an
alyzed and the report is that it con-
tains practically no solids and is Of
exceptional purity.
The trout fishing in this stream
and out in the bay is very fine. Trout
OF almost incredible size can be seen
out in the bay but jt is not often
that the largest can be hooked, as
they are too wary The largest ever
reported caught in Pelican bay weigh
ed % pounds and was caught by ]. P.
Lippincott Of the reclamation serv-
fee. Short creek, crystal creek and
numerous other small streams empty
ing into Pelican bay are good fishing
grounds and picturesque streams
The buildings at Pelican lodge are
not greatly changed from what they
were when it was Klamath's nost
popular resort. \ large two-story
log house IS used for the dining room
and kitchen and servants quarters
and the sleeping apartments, office,
etc, are in smaller rustic cabins and
tents.
Mrs. Harriman's cabin has a pretty
rustic porch. facing large stone out
door fireplace among the pine trees.
The cabin has three rooms and Is
furnished with hot and cold water. 1
as are all the other cabins and tents |
Above the cabins is a group Of
eight or ten tents with raised board .
floors and boarded half way up. the
top half being covered with screen.
These are the sleeping apartments of
the gentlemen OF the party and con-
tain nearly all the comforts of home.
Paths have been made among the
pines Of a sort Of cinder rock found
in abundance near the lodge, and
along the paths up and down the hill
side are rustic seats. The trees are
all hung with electric lights for IL
Elimination at night
Every care has been taken for the
comfort of the party and the table
will be furnished with the best the
season affords, as a small cold stor-
age plant makes its quota Of ice every
day.
The best hunters of this section
have been engaged for several months
and all arrangements for various
hunting trips around the base of
Mount Pitt and over the divide to the
headwaters Of the Rogue. Row boats
and launches are in readiness for the
fishermen.
One large Royal touring car is at
the lodge and another is to come with
the party to convey it to Crater lake.
