Grand Jury in Ury Town Says Too Much Liquor Sold Haps Doctors. Hood River Is one of the "dry" towns that the Committee of One Hundred hasn't said anything about. rut "bullnejs Is flr.e" there toe, es pecially In the drug store3. The Oc rater grand jury spent some days looking Into the matter, and reported ,n (, In fact about all the grand lurv did as to probe the liquor sit uation In "dry" Hood River, thus tpeadlng the taxpayers' money to discover If prohibition prohibited. This is what they found out, as id forth In their formul report to the Clriu't Court on October 0, 1014: "I.eurly all of the lime of the stand jury has been taken up with coi.ilderutlon of alleged violations of the local option law within this Juris, diction. We have received the report of the sheriff of the county as to the cuanlity of Intoxicating liquor shipped Into this county during the last three months. By this teport It appears that a large amount qf liquor has been shipped to private Individuals during the period, and presumably procured and used legally It fur ther appears that the quantity re ceived by the druj stores during the period was considerably more than dutlng the preceding thtee months, md too large to Lc disposed of In accordance with the section of the lo cal option law regulating the writing of prescriptions by physicians, and In this connection we call the attention of physicians of Hood River County to Section 41)21 of Lord's Oregon Laws. "Wc recommend that the physi cians confine themselves more close ly to the letter of this cectlon of the local option law." The report is signed by Joseph Frazier, Jr., ns foreman.

Here's what it has done. It has cut down the bank deposits by over $500,000, In spite of the fact that (here are now four banks to the .two In existence when Rose burg had licensed saloons, and that the population has Increased In pro Roseburg has gone dry the tax levy has varied from eight to ten mills on a full valuation; and In addition occupation taxes have been steadily Increased. The Committee of One Hundred boasts that dry Roseburg has erected a $115,000 hotel. The hotel was I erected In 1013, stood Idle and ten i nnticis for four montlis, and was rescued from the bankruptcy court by liberal business men of the city ' among whom were E, L. I'arrot, C. W. Parks, Joseph Mlcclll, A. N. Or colt and Henry Hart, all of whom arc radically opposed to a dry town. The Committee of One Hundred also boasts of the armory as an achievement. The armory was built by stato, cotinty and city funds com bined, and Is not yet completed. Over HO leading business men have signed a petition calling for a local option election in Roseburg this year, and such an election will be held. Many empty store buildings re to be found on the leading Wislness streets a condition that never ex isted when Roseburg had licensed saloons. Scores of dwelling houses s-e vacant for the first time In the history of the city. John Hunter, a leading contractor and formerly a supporter of the drys, Is now advertising in Roseburg pa pers; Business block for sale or $500 less than prcseni as sessed valuation. Another property owner has' of fered four parcels of Inside prop erty for sale at less than the as sessed valuation, and has not even received a lender. jPnc of the leaders of the dry forces In Roseburg Is a man who as n former agent of the Albany brew cry" niadtf his fortune, and who to day Is the owner of a drug store. He was at one time prominent in politics. Was repudiated by the vot ers of Dm ers of Douglas County, and Is now ants In office" Jhrough the dry move- ment. Beggars are common on the streets, and many poor families are appeal ing to the local bankers for aid.
