Out nf this total only 11 of theso li

I have today deposited $100 in the

unit can bv iinthent icati d data prove
the above figures to be not correct, or
ran prove that thre has been fewer
licenses issued under prohibition In
Lane county than were issued there for
a like period under high license then
tho whole of this sum is to be paid

It might also be worth while to note
in this connection that Lane county
