GOVERNOR WEST TOURS ROADHOUSES Executive and Adjutant-Gen f eral Serve Notice on Tav j em Managers. EVIL APPLIANCES MUST GO Overhead Attachments to Highway ; Inns Ordered Relegated or Bon fires Will Result County Aid Is Ignored. S ' I don't want to see where you raise chickens." said Governor "West to a roadhouse proprietor yesterday. "I want to see where you raise hell." The roadhouse proprietor had Invited the Governor and his party to see his plant where he raised chickens and squabs. In company with General Finzer. Ma jor Knapp. Captain Welch and Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent of the department of public safety for women, Go-ernor West made a tour of the roadhouses In the vicinity of Portland yesterday afternoon, as a preliminary to the campaign which he has an- ! nounced he will begin, to clean up the roadhouses with the aid of the state militia. ' The Latteview roadhouse, the Hut, the Cliff Inn, the Claremont and the Milwaukle tavern were visited and at each place the Governor saw either . the proprietor or the person In charge and gave notice of his purpose. ETil Appliances Doomed. "All of the appliances about the road- houses that conduce to the violation of the law are going to come out this 'week," said the Governor last night. "If they don't come out the places will be gutted. "Perhaps the proprietors may think .'that it will pay them to put them back, but 1f they do so, and thus show that 'they have no Intention of abiding by the law, their houses will be boarded up. "If they want to conduct a saloon and do It in a lawful manner, they will not be disturbed, but those overhead apart ments, which offer themselves for the ruination of drunken girls and women, have got to go. "There are likely to be some of the prettiest bonfires that were ever seen in the county within the next two .weeks unless the roadhouse proprietors -show a disposition to rid their places of all of their appliances that are necessarily used for unlawful purposes. "This does not necessarily apply to the places outside of the city limits," i he continued. "We can carry the work ; right Into the city and we will do it, ; unless things are cleaned up. t "Nor does this apply to this county alone. There are places all over the state that need cleaning up; the con 1 stltution places upon me the duty of . seeing that the law is executed and - there Is no question as to my right to ; use the lawful methods J have found . to execute them." Governor West said that he would not rely upon the county officials tc secure evidence of the violation of the law. "I am not tying up to any grand Jury or District Attorney." he said. "I hav heard this talk about the inability of the authorities to enforce the law until I am sick of it. "I'm relying upon the authority of one man to determine when the law is being violated, and that is myself. I am able to tell when there is gam bling and debauchery going on, and now we are going to see that they put a ntoi to It." General Flnxer, who accompanied the f Governor yesterday afternoon, said that, while no positive proof of law violation was found, there were many Indications of a bad condition. "We will probably- not station offl ', rers In the roadhouses unless a liabll ity to violations of the law becomes : very apparent. I do not know what . method of securing evidence the Gov ' ernor has, but It Is certain that he has ; worked out a scheme for securing re liable Information, so that no move ' will be made without thorough reason. I "Special men, selected from the i militia, will be used to conduct the . work of putting into execution the campaign against violation of the law in the roadhouses of the state." The Hat In Target. The Hut." on the Linnton road, ap ' pears likely to be one of the first to : figure prominently In Governor West's campaign. It was this roadhouse which figured in the case of A. F. Brockman, the youth who gained no- torlety In the Police Court recently as ; the purchaser of kisses at 12 apiece. iW. S. Swagsert. the proprletr, and his I assistants, H. F. McDonald and F. J. . De Grouche, were fined 1250 apiece in : Justice Bell's court and an Indictment also stands against Swaggert. t Dan B. Powers, .the attorney for ': Mr. Swaggert. said yesterday that Gov ernor West has demanded that the ap peal which he had placed be withdrawn before Monday and that Swaggert plead guilty. "In this event" said Mr. Powers, "h ; said that he would recommend that the charges against the two assistants be ' withdrawn and that the minimum fine ' be Imposed upon Swaggert. Otherwise he threatened to have the house board ed up." "If Swaggert were to plead guilty, 1 however, and the appeal were with ' drawn and if reasonable evidence were ' given of intention to abide by the law he declared bis willingness to see the District Attorney and use efforts for leniency." Geveraor Makes Proposal. f Governor West lest .night did not 'fully admit that he had made all of these demands from Swaggert. but said that if Swaggert showed his willing ness to stand his fine and to conduct an orderly place In future, he was will- ' ing to do what he could to persuade the District Attorney to make it easy . for him. "Swaggert has never had any dilTi eultv about his place before." said Mr. Powers. "Sheriff Stevens had nil the ' done on bhe Brockman case and knew that the Cliff Inn as well as the Hut 'was involved, long before the case went to trial. The Sheriff has perse . cuted the roadhouse people a long time, but this is the first opportunity he ever had to call Swaggert to ac count. " "We informed Governor West that 'the proprietor of the Hut stands ready and willing to have an officer put in the house and to help pay the costs, so that they may have assistance to con trol the rowdy element that causes the trouble In those places."

"Out baby's trouble began when be was two weeks old- It started with little red pimples on his Aheek and ear lobe and on his forehead. When the pimples were about twenty-four hours old they would fill with dear liquid like water. Baby would not sleep because it would burn and itch. He would scratch in his sleep. Our family doctor said the child had got enema. Whan tha hth U tWA months old. we had to Keep ms caaas coverea so that he could not scratch his face to pieces. I was rivlnc up hope that then was any cure for our child. "One evening my wife saw the advertise ment of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. When we started with Cuticura Soap and Ointment the sores were one hard crust. We followed the directions and in three days the crusts came off, and In eight days you could not see . a sign of any trouble. Now his skin Is as soft as velvet and as healthy as can be. We always give him his bath with Cuticura Soap." (Signed) H. W. Bundstein, July 7, 1911. The regular use of Cuticura Soap, assisted when necessary by Cuticura Ointment, not only preserves, purifies and beautifies the skis, scalp, hair and hands, but tends to pre vent clogging of the pores, the common cause of pimples, blackheads, inflammation, irrita tion, redness and roughness, and other un wholesome conditions.

S. has always been one of tho Btrongest points in its favor, and is one of the principal reasons why it is the most widely known and universally used of all blood medicines. A great many of the so-called blood purifiers are really nothing more than strong mineral mixtures which, act so unpleasantly and disastrously on the delicate membranes and tissues of the stomach and bowels, that even if such treatment purified the blood, the condition in which the digestive system is left would often be more damaging to the health than the original trouble. Not so with S. S. 8. it is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and at the same time is an absolutely safe and harmless remedy. It is made entirely of the healing and cleansing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks, each of which is in daily use in some form by physicians in their practice. Years of work and research have proven S. S. S. to contain everything necessary to purify the blood and at the same time supply the system with the purest and best tonio effects. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles, and it leaves the system in perfect condition when It has purified tne blood.
