HOOD RIVER DRUG STORES FIND "BUSINESS IS FINE.” Grand Jury-4n Dry . Town. Says Too Much Liquor Sold—Raps Doctors. ' ’. ’ , ’, I. y Hood River is one of the “drx”< towns that the Committee of One Hundred hasn’t said anything about- But “business is fine" there too, es pecially in the diug stores. The Oc tober grand jury spent some days looking into the matter, and reported on it. In fact about1 all the grand jury did was to probe -the liquor sit uation in “dry” Hood River, thus spending the taxpayers’ money fo ; discover if prohibition prohibited. This is what they • found out, as set forth in their formal report to the Circuit .Court on October 6, 1914: “Nearly all of the time of the grand jury has been taken up with consideration of alleged violations of the local option low within this juris diction. We have received the report of the sheriff of the county as to the quantity of intoxi'-r.ting liquor shipped into this county during the last three months. By this report it appears that a large amount of 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 11.e drug stores during the period was considerably more than during the preceding three months, and too large to be 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 4921 of Lord’s Oregon Laws. "We recommend that the physi cians confine themselves more close ly to the letter of this section of the local option law.” The report is signed by Joseph Frazier, Jr., as foreman.

This is enough liquor to stock one busy saloon for a year. Ihmbth.’s similar amounts have been sent in by the Oregon Electric Rail way. and by the several express com punies operating within the city. The records do not show the amounts in each keg, case or barrel, but the fig ures in any event indicate that there has been a vast amount of liquor con eumed in “dry” Eugene from which the city has received no license re turns at nil.
