some OBSERVATIONS
FOR JULY FOURTH
Editor East Oregonian:

Editor East Oregonian:
on this the one hundred and thir-
ty-fifth anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence, the
whole of these broad United States
does homage to the founding of free
dom and the birth of a land the peo-
pie are proud to call their own. II
is with pride that every loyal Am
erican looks back upon the history of
the Welding of this vast country into
a union that is the marvel of the
age. Battles fought, obstacles over
come: advantages taken of every op-
portunity offered leaves with US the
knowledge that We can justly rejoice
on this the anniversary of the laying
OF the corner stone of the govern
ment that has since sprung up.
The Glory Waning.
This date in histOry-when 1t was
young-was the day Of the year
There was joy in every soul and its
meaning was as living coal in each
breast ON down through time this
day Of glory has been growing dim

sense upon the result of Oregons
trial of people rule. 1t is considered
unique today that state should at
tempt to carry out what Lincoln call
ed a government in his address at
Gettysburg.
Let oregon prove to the states that
the people can act with discretion
that the people can legislate and mete
out justice, then will the, way be made
clear for a return of a government
in which freedom will be a reality
and all efforts will be for mutual
benefit
The processes by which the inter-
ests have grasped commercial activ-
tiles must be crushed. The effectual
solution must rest on the actual
government of the people, by the
people and for the people," else the
prediction of our immortal Lincoln
will be a jest, laughed at by those
receiving income from sources of
corruption and this star of independ-
ence will be obliteraed by the hand
/ Of greed.

FEW FOREST FIRES
REPORTED, SO FAR

Portland, July 4.-Throughout the
Pacific northwest July has begun with
no loss by forest fires so far and with
conditions unusually favorable for
prevention, according to the monthly
bulletin of the Western Forestry &
Conservation, issued today after the
receipt of reports from practically all
private state and federal protective
agencies. Slashing fires were numer-
Gus in June but were prevented from
entering green timber Widespread
rains at the close of the month extin-
Suished smouldering fires and permit
preparation to meet the inevitable dry
spell to follow.
Small loss in Idaho.
Idaho is reported in particularly
good condition. There has been no
loss except of a few cut logs. The
timber owners fire associations and
the forest service have pushed work
on trail and telephone building to
assist their patrols. Railroads and
loggers have taken extraordinary
precautions. The chief complain is
that settlers are not complying with
the law requiring permits to burn
slashings and that In road building
too much material is fallen into the
adjoining woods to become a menace
when dry.
Many Fires i'm Washington.
Washington has had many sharp
skirmishes WITH slashing fires, and a
few bridges and cut logs have been
lost, but fire has been kept out of
green timber and much good was ac-
complished by the removal of about
10000 acres of dangerous logging de-
bris. The state has had 23 regular
wardens in the field, besides day la
| Dor employed by them. The Wash
| ingtOn Forest Fire association had sc
! wardens in June and is adding more
! besides purchasing several new track
bicycles for railroad patrol. on the
whole, all classes are more careful
with fire than in previous years. The
chief exceptions to this are reported

POWERS DECIDES
PATTERSON CASE
Case Of Nellie Detrick and Matte Han.
ma vs.. Isaac Patterson Decided
in Favor Of Defendant.
LAND is INVOLVED
Case Taken up During Vacation by
Judge Powers-Suit Taken up
About Year Ago.

The case of Nellie Detrick and Mat
tie Hanna against Isaac Patterson, to
recover an interest in half-sectiOn of
land near West Side, which was tried
several months ago by Judge Powers,
has just been decided by him in favor
of the defendant, Isaac Patterson. The
land was originally owned by Robert
Patterson, a brother of the defendant,
and an uncle of the plaintiffs, and
when he died there evidently was an
understanding that the plaintiffs be-
came, by inheritance, the owners of
an interest in the land, although, as a
matter of fact, the mother of Robert
Patterson was living, and under the
law inherited a full interest in the
land. Upon the supposition that the
plaintiffs inherited directly from Rob-
ert Patterson, they sold their interest
in the land to the defendant, each re-
ceiving $4,000, which was the full
value of their interest in the land,
even though they had inherited direct
ly from Robert Patterson. After they
were paid the full price for their in
terest in the land they each made
quit claim deed to the defendant and
later on executed warranty deed to
him. About a year ago they COM
menced suit to recover an interest in
this property and the court held that
they had no interest which they could
recover, and decided the case in favor
of Mr.. Patterson.

LOCAL ATTORNEYS
FEEL JUBlLANT
Supreme Court Renders Decisions
FavorabIy in Cases Represented
by Local Attorneys.
TWO IMPORTANT CASES DECIDED
One Of 6ramley VS.. Jordan, Famous
Ditch Case, and Other Gibson
VS.. the City of Denison.

The supreme court last week decided
two cases appealed from the district
court Of this county. The first one
was that of c. H. Bramley against
George V. Jordan, the parties being
prominent farmers of Paradise town
ship. Bramley is owner of 80 acres
of land directly north of an SO-acre
tract owned by Jordan, through which
Paradise creek runs, in a southerly d.
rection. Mr.. Jordan, few years ago,
in order to turn the course of the
stream, built dam on his own land,
Immediately south of the division line,
the effect of which was to throw the
water back upon Bramley's land, there
by injuring his pasture and crops and
filling up the stream with mud so as
to prevent his stock from crossing.
MIR. Bramley instituted an injunction
suit to restrain Jordan from contin-
uing his interference with the natural
flow of the stream and to have the
dams declared nuisance. The dis
trict court decided the case in favor
of Bramley and the supreme court in
The other case was that of Gibson
against the city of Denison, which was
a suit instituted by Gibson to recover
damages for an accident which oc-
Cured to him by his falling upon the
sidewalk and injuring limb. The
case was tried some two or three
years ago and while the evidence
showed that Gibson sustained injuries,
as he claimed, it was the contention
of the city that as the sidewalk was
defective and Gibson knew it at the
time he went upon it and knew there
was another way that he could have
gone and avoided taking the risk, that
it was has duty to have gone another
way. The court held that as Mr.. Glib
son admitted that he knew the side
walk was dangerous to walk upon, it
was imprudent for him to attempt to
pass over it and directed the jury to
return verdict for the city, which
was done, and the supreme court held
that the lower court was right in d.
recting the verdict.
Conner & Lally are congratulating
themselves on the victory in the su-
preme court.

MOON LAW IS
HELD VALID
The Supreme Court Of Iowa Up
holds the Saloon Statute
in Its Entirety.
AL CITIES MUST ACT At ONCE
Places Where Number o. Saloons Ex
ceed Limit Fixed by This Law,
Councils Must Get Busy.

The supreme court has affirmed the
Moon law, holding that the number
of saloons in every city of Iowa must
be reduced to one to 1000 population
The decision was written by Judge
Weaver and was unanimous.
In deciding the Moon law case the
supreme court yesterday held that un
der the old law it is necessary that
the consent of city council shall be
obtained for each year., though on this
the court was not unanimous, and that
these city consents depend upon the
general consents. It therefore fol-
lowed that the term of every license
ended at the expiration of the general
period the Moon law begins to oper-
ate and the excess saloons above one
to 1000 must go out of business. On
this the decision of the court said:
'The state has seen fit to put a
definite limit of five years to the ef-
ficiency and life of every general con-
sent and it follows of necessity that
consents given to individuals by the
city council must cease and become
of no effect with the general consent
upon which they are dependent for
their vitality. Whether the word
consent as used in the last clause of
Section of the statute be construed
to refer to the general consent of the
electors or to the resolution of con-
sent of the city council to an individ-
ual or both, the result is the same.
The act of the Thirty-first general as
sembly fixing the five year limit draws
line beyond which neither can pass.
The question whether the electors will
avail themselves of the privileges and
immunities of the mulct law is then
thrown open anew as if it had never
before been passed upon by them. No
vested rights are acquired in one peri
cd which are carried over into anOth-
er. d, 81
"If any individual dealer is thereaf-
ter entitled to immunity or protection
it is because he holds the consent of

al consent and not one based upon a
general consent which has expired by
statutory limitation. If this be the
correct Interpretation of the law, as
we think it clearly is, there can be no
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-12-20

difficulty in giving meaning and effec
to all parts of the particular statute
here under consideration. Reading
Sections 2 and together with this
view in mind they provide in sub
stance that the excess consents may
remain in force and be renewed from
,4me to time until the expiration of the
general consent by virtue of which
they were authorized. To hold other
wise is to say that Section 2 has the
effect to extend the limit as passed
by the act of the Thirty-first general
assembly and the right to do SO is ex
pressed negatively by the last clause
of Section of the act OF the Thirty
fourth general assembly.
Counsel says that the time at
law provided has reference solely to
which such consent shall expire as by
it's expiration by revocation or for
feiture as provided by Code Section
2541. But why so narrow it's applica'
ton? After this section was enacted
and before the passage of the Moon
law, the legislature had provided for
an absolute and unconditional eXpi-
ration of such consents by mere lapse
of time, so that at the date of the
latter act every general consent was
liable to expiration on sufficient Pc
tition of the electors or by lapse OF
the five year period. On what prin-
ciple then, shall we say that in pro-
viding that Section of the Moon law
shall not operate to extend any con-
sent beyond the time at which it will
expire by law, the legislature had in
mind only an expiration for forfeit
ure or by petition or revocation and
not an expiration by lapse of the stat
utOry period? We discover no ground
for the distinction"
1t is thought by leading Denison
attorneys that DenisOn will in no way
be affected by the supreme court rul-
ing. The liquor dealers have been
keeping a close tab on the situation
and prepared in advance for emer-
gencies. At a meeting of the council
held last evening permit was grant
ed to John klinker as follows:
"Resolved by the city council OF the
city of Denison, Iowa, that renewal
of the consent to sell Intoxicating liq-
uors in the city of Denison, Iowa, be
and is hereby given to John klinker,
under and in compliance with the
laws of the state of Iowa regulating
the traffic in intoxicating liquors and
that the said renewal of consent ex-
tend to June 30, 1914"

work boxes and pretty ribbons and OF
course the boys want rifles and skates

girls there are in rich old Denison

geW gaws, but shoes, good warm
shoes and caps and coats and dresses
and hoods and mittens.
When youngster of six or eight or
ten conjures the jolly saint with his
pack full of toys and sweets and all
the delights OF childhood's fondest
dreams and when that youngster asks
Santa Claus to bring him shoes, you
can bet that child needs shoes.
