FIRST BLOW FOR
LOCAL OPTION
The Supreme Court DecideE,
There Will Be No Elec-
ton for Aberdeen

There will be no local option cleo
ton in Aberdeen November 5.
This is the decision handed down
yesterday by the supreme court, over
ruling the decision of the Chehalia
county superior court in the test case
brought recently by A. H. Griffin, Of
this city in an endeavor' to restrain
City Clerk P. F. Clark from proceed
ing further with the proposed election
The supreme court held that in the,
local option law, the term, "last gem
eral election" means the last city
election or other elections at which
the public has a right to vote. There
fore there will be no local option cleo
ton as the petition does not bear 80
per cent of the names of those who
voted at the last city election.
In deciding the case, the supreme
court mentioned the fact that the Spo-
kane superior court judges, sitting en-
banc, held the same was as the su-
preme court does in rendering it's de-
cision yesterday.
Hoquiam's case is somewhat similar
to Aberdeen's. In that city an in
junction is asked to prevent local
option election, and arguments in the
case will be heard Saturday. 1t is the
general belief that the decision in the
case will be similar to the one hand
ed down by the supreme court in the
Aberdeen case.

BIG Time IS in
STORE FOR TYR0S
Aberdeen Dokies to Initiate
Large Class at Monte
sano Saturday

Dokies from Tehama Temple, No
$50, d. o. X. X, Aberdeen. to the
number of at least 10, together witt
a large number of Tyros from this
city, will journey to MontesanO, Sat
urday night, there to enjoy the pleas
ures of the desert ride, the burning
sands. and other pleasant little stunts
which go with the initiation of a large
class into the mysteries of the or
der.
The exact number to be initiated or
the eventful evening has not beer
made public, but they will come from
McCleary. Elma. Hoquiam and Mon
tesano.
Here's the plea which has been is
sued to the Aberdeen Dokies:
"The trials and tribulations of q
lone Tyro, have been experienced by
only a few real Dokies. 1t therefore
behooves you to be on hand and rend
er what assistance you may to a
weary and troubled Tyro as across
the burning deserts he wends his un
certain way. If you may be able pass
him a few drops of Zem Zem to ap
ply to his parched lips, or apply q
small portion of the world-famous d
o. X. X. ointment for scorched ant
blistering feet"
To the faithful Dokey it is need
less to further explain the joyful time
in store, and to the layman, it would
be worse than useless. Anyway, there
is bound to be a real, live time, al
the program for the evening certain
ly indicates.

CLUSTER lights
TO BE ORDERED
Council Decides on Modern
Illumination for Street
Plan Is Good

The gay white way. or the day
be K street between the Union depot
and Heron street. There will be nc
guessing about it when the tired trav'
eler alights from the evening train
and stands, grip in hand, looking for
the business section of the city, for
eight large clustdr lights, four on
each side of the street, beautiful and
ornamental affairs, will direct him to
exactly where he wishes to 60. This
is the decision of the city council
last night, and in all probabilities
will stick.
Illumination was the chief topic Ol
the city council last night, and aside
from the rather insignificant matter
of opening bids for fill district No.
2, there was nothing else done. They
talked watts, kiliwats, meters, motors
current, non-current, juice and good
ness knows what-nOt, until it was at
last decided to spring genuine sur.
prise by consenting to establish the
proposed cluster lamp avenue.
And there were many good points
brought up together with the score
or more of seemingly absurd propo-
sitions which naturally follow in the
wake of sound suggestions. The &C
ton of the council in this matter
however, will undoubtedly meet with
hearty approval, as proper illumina-
ton, especially between the railroad
station and the business district of
the city, will be one of the biggest
advertising assets available.
After considerable delay bids for
bonds on fill district No were open
ed and read; Hayes & Hayes. bank
ers offered the highest premium for
the 100000 bonds, but owing to the
fact that a more thorough investiga-
ton was asked, the bids were refer
ed to the finance committee and the
city attorney for one week. The bids
are as follows: Hayes & Hayes. 500
900, premium, $1,375; Carstens &
Earles on 100000. $1,017; John E.

company, on 100000. premium offer
ed $500; Northern Bond & Trust com
pany. on 100000, premium offered
$435.
The premium offered by the John

bring the premium on the whole block
