Two attempts were made this morn
ing at the marriage counter in the Of
flee of the county clerk to secure mar
lriage licenses, but both failed. In the
first case, the bride happens to live in
Linn county and the prospective groom
had to be shown the real law ito con-
vince him that he must go to Albany
to secure his license, as q marriage IL
cense can be issued only in the county
where the prospective bride lives. The
second attempt was when a party was
informed that one must secure the Ii
cense in the state in which the we'd
ding is to take place. He wanted to
know if Washington license was good
in Oregon, or whether, if he took out
the license in Salem, he could get mar
ried with it in Washington. He was
told that a license must be taken out
in the county where the woman lives
and then the marriage may take place
anywhere in this state, but in no other
Estate.
