MUST HAVE PROPER TAG No latw for Driving Automobile With "License Applied-For" Tag and All Marltiiiea Must Carry New License Plates. With the end of the year near at hand, auto owners are being warned tbat within a few days they must either tote a 1921 auto licenses or else leave their cars in the garage. There is, however, one other alterna tive, and that la saying "Good morn ing, Judge," and paying the flue that the magistrate will impose. Lpon Jannuary 1 the 1921 license must be in evidence or else the con sequence will be visited upon the heads of the offenders, the local offi cers state. Chief of Police Dave Shambrook stated today that there will be no leniency shown those who fail to appear at the proper time with the proper license. "Auto drivers have had plenty of time to get their licenses." said Mr. Shambrook today, "and we will pick up every driver that comes out on January 1 without the new license plate in evidence. There is no ex cuse for not having the 1921 license. The state department gave warning several weeks ago and the depart ment has had extra clerks at work Just for the purpose of furnishing the drivers with licenses promptly so that there would not be any excuse for not coming out after the first of the'year without the prescribed li cense plate. Drivers also want to re member that it is Just as much of a violation of the law to come out with the 1921 license before the eud of the year as it is to carry over the 1920 license into next year.- - The city po lice department will enforce the law strictly and any violator apprehended will be given an opportunity to ex plain to the Judge." T. A. Ralfety, of the state vehicle department, is In Roseburg today, having spent Christmas at his home here. He states that the secretary of state's office has been besieged by applications for licenses but that the clerical force has kept up with the rush and IhSt no delay in getting out the licenses has been experienced. He states that there is no law which permits traveling under a "Li cense applied for tag." Although It has been the practice in many places to allow the use of such tags for a short time, there is no law support ing this practice and any person driving a car under such a tag is liable to a heavy fine in addition to the collection of the amount of the license. During the past few weeks the field force has been kept busy apprehend ing violators snd Mr. Raffety states that there has been a great many who have nttempted to evade t he Btale laws in this regard. He is enthusiastic over the pros pects for a system of uniform license laws which may grow out of the re cent conference held In Portland at which the secretaries of state and the Aeld deputies of the motor ve hicle departments were present. It Is proposed to make uniform laws be tween the states of the northwest In order that there may be no confusion when auto owners move from state to state. 0 Montesano Rocked By Big Explosion MONTESANO, Wash.. Dec. 25. An explosion which shook the entire town of Montesano and brought out the populace last night is believed by the police to be a miscarriage of a plot to reck the Grays Harbor coun tv jail here, in which are incarcer ated seven men convicted Isst March of complicity In the Centralis, Wash., armistice day murders of November 11, 1919. The explosion occurred under a tree In a vacant lot near the North ern Pacific station r-nd within 100 feet of the main s re-t of the town. The tree was shstter A by the blast. The police theory ol a possible plot in the county Jail is based upon re ports of the presence of a stranger loitering about th Jail during the dsy. The roan carrU I a leather trav eling bag and pltces of such a bag with a short length of fuse were picked lip near the scene of the ex plosion by W. C. McAloon, marshal. It is the marshal's belief that t he bomb was csched near the tree and prematurely exploded. No damsge resulted. The vacant lot In which the ex plosion took place Is shout seven blocks from the Grays Hsrbor Jail. Attention wss attracted to the stranger, for whom the police are searching, by his care of the handbag he carried, It was stated, and it was believed he had liquor It) the bag.

POUT LAND, Dec. 27. Larue crowds were around the office of Morris Uros. bond house lo- day when igiwwore p-aced on the windows bearing the word- liirf, "Closed on accou.it of audit." Some persons were ex- Mbit in b receipt fo- payments on the purchase of bo ml a. DIb- trlct Attorney Evans said he had obtained a statement from Hoy Kike, who drove the auto In which John Ktheridge and wife left Portland Thursday and that he had seen KtheridRe board an ens t bound train at Tu- coma. A warrant charging lar- ceny by bailee was burned agaiiiHt Klheridge. PORTLAND. Dec. 27. Announce ment was niaile officially last night Unit, pending the completion of an audit uf its books, the doors of Mor ris Hro., Inc., bond dealers of Port land, San Francisco. Seattle and Ta camo, will not be opened to business. This announcement foltoweri the recent resignation of John L. Ether Idgp, as president of the firm, last week and tin taking over of control by Fred 8. Morris, who has since been in charge, and the placing of auditors on the books of the local house to ascertain the state of affairs there. While the exact facta as lo the con dition of the bond houne were not obtainable last night, because the auditors were still at work on the books, the fuct that tho doors of the firm will not open for business this morning was taken to mean that, at least temporarily, there would be a suspension of its acknowledgement of claims upon the part of thousands of persons all over the Pacific coast who have purchased bonds from this house and its branches. This, it was bolieved. will be particularly true of the issue of $2,750,000 or the city of Edmonton, Canada. 6 per cent gold not oh. which were sold at a gross yield of 9 per cent. These City of Edaionfon bonds, which were placed on the market several weeks ago, were very exten sively sold, although st the time they bad not hen formally Issued, and In terim certificates were given in lieu of the actual bonds. Later, the city completed the issue and representa tives were sent to Portland prepared to deliver them. It was then that the situation came to a climax, for. It was rumored, there were insufficient funds to the credit of Mnrrls Pros.. Inc., to cover them. Just what sums were or are available was not clear last night, hut rumor had It that there was a deficiency of a very large sum. Ever since the situation developed, the serious aspects which have re cently come lo light, including Mr. EtherMgn's own confessions, recent ly made at a meeting of Al Kader temple of the Shrine, when h was a candidate for delegate to the im perial council, that he had twice boen ImpriKoned In lite east for forgeries, efforts have been made by commit ters composed of the city's most sub stantial financiers, to ascertain Vhnt the true condition of the firm Is, but as vet without final results.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. Estab lishment of central markets for per-, itshable food products In all large cities and the selling up of a fedural licensing system applicable to all denier in such foods at those mar kets is proposed by the federal trade 'QininiHHlon in Its annum report io luy to congress. The commission's conclusions are based on an investigation covering any months and It declares thai federal action is necessary to obtain (Tec live regulation and to avoid un fair and wasteful practices with the consequent effect on prices. In the present system the commission sees as a hinderanco to the proper passage .f nerlshables from the producer to the consumer certain Inter-trade deal ings which It believes should be elim inated and It suggests that the. hand ling of these products be surrounded by numerous regulations and restric tions such as the recording of avail able supplies, the dating of cold stor age periods and provisions fur auc tion marketing. Facilities should be made ado juate, tho commission says, to en lble the producer in ship freely Into the central markets and "with prop er protection of his Interests." The imrkotlng system should be governed io that ohjertionnble hoarding would be eliminated and proper co-ordination of tranKpottulion facilities diould be accomplished to make de liveries certain when required. Th commiaslon suys that "the needed reforms can hardly he ex acted to be accomplished hy the inl latlve of tho dealers," nnd asserts that state and municipal authorities 'rick adequate, power to effectively regulate the handling nf the food -mppHca. Although eo-oprallon of date nnd local authorities and rail--oads might accomplish tho ends -ought, the commission believes this ntan does not hold out much hope for a satisfactory solution of Ihe nroblem.
