New Law Governing
Sale of Firearms
The attention of all dealers in
lirearma ia direcU'd by Ileputv Dia
I rii-t Attorney Wirtz to the law
which went into effect laat Tuesday,
June 3, prohibiting the display of
revolvers, pistols or pocket guna
and prohiliiting their sale to any
ierson, aside from a peace ollicer,
unlesa auch H'ron preaent a Hr
mission to purchase issued by the
county judge, justice of the teace
or city recorder. The ollicers
named are not permitted to issue a
liermit to purchase a revolver un
less the applicant presents the alti
davits of two freeholders attesting
to the moral character of the appli
cant. Kvery dealer in firearms
must report all sales of revolvers
and pocket guns to the sheriff, on
the 1st and 15th day of every
month and any violation of the law
is declared to tie a misdemeanor
and punishable under the law by a
maximum sentence of one year in
the county jail and a fine of 500.
The intent of the law is to prevent
commission of murder and other
crimes by persons who are suddenly
provoked to great anger or passion,
as homicide statistics show that
many murderers purchase guns im
mediately before committing the
crime. The report to the sheriff
must show the nume of the person
purchasing, the factory number of
the weapon and the date of the pur
chase. Engineer Clagg Dies
of Spotted Fever
Engineer Clagg, of the Motolius
survey, who was stricken with

kigh. This is the first fatality
from spotted fovor in tho vicinity
of rrinovillo. The remains were
taken, to Uodmond Sunday by
Oe n'ge Myor, and from there
shipped to the engineer's home
at Scuttle. Deceased was about
f'5 years of ago.

Auto Owners Better
Keep an Eye on Harry
Deputy District Attorney
Wirtz desires to call attention of
automobile owners to the fact
that the regulations governing
the operation of motor cars, en
acted for the protection of the
J public, are being greatly abused
linCruok county. Some are still
op3raling without a 1913 license,
a few have tags only at the rear
while the law imposes a penalty
for failure to display tags at both
the rear and front of the ma
chine. 1
The greatest abuse however,
is in regard to the failure to dis
play lights while running at night
as required by law. In this vio-
htion aut0 are ki th
accident. The number of cars is
increasing rapidly and Constable
Hudson has instructions to see
that this provision of the law is
strictly enforced hereafter. The
penalty for any violation of the
auto license law, speeding or
running at night without proper
lights at both front arid rear is a
tine of from $5 to $50 with a
maximum of $150 or 75 days in
the county jail for a third of

The sheriff's office has collected
$256,992.72 in taxes this year, j
There haa been turned over to the
treasurer $255,747.28. The sheriff
had cash on hand June 2, $1246.72. .
In handling this large sum of money
the sheriff's office was "long" one
dollar and some odd cents, due, ac
cording to Head Deputy Van Allen-,
to errors in interest charges. This :
record will be hard to beat.
The county is paying warrants as
fast as presented and tax money is
coming in freely, The county
financially is in good shape.
Important School
Election June 16
Monday, June 16, the various
school districts throughout the
state will, be called upon to elect
a director and clerk and vote on
the free text book proposition
passed by the last legislature if
they so desire. Each district
may decide for itself whether or
not it will furnish books free. It
it decides to do so then it must
vote a small tax to pay for them.
The average cost for the in
stallation of free text books is .
about 12.50 per child. The yearly -up
keep, after the first year, ?ill
cost from 70 cents to one dollar
per school child.
The approximate cost by
grades is as follows: First. 50c;
second, 70c; third, 85c; fourth,
12.50; fifth, $2.05; sixth, $3.65;
seventh, f4 75; eighi, $5 35.
No copy books, paper, ink, or
pencil are included in this esti-
mate.
The qualifications of voters at
this election is set forth in sec-
tion 167, Oregon School Lawss
1911. In effect it says:
In a family consisting of a man
and wife, the man is considered
the head of the family, which
may consist of children between
the ages of four to twenty years.
The widow with a family between
the ages of four to twenty years
is also considered, the head of the
family. The man or woman
whose name appears on the as
sessment roll for 1912 as as
sessed by the assessor, is a legal
voter at a school election. The
name included on the tax list by
the sheriff will not hold good as a
qualification as a voter at any
school election. He must be as-,
sessed by the assessor.
It Might Have
Been Serious
A runaway team on Third street
made things lively for a short time
last Friday morning. Orval Dillon
was driving it, and when near
the Presbyterian church a motor
cycle frightened the animals and
away they went. The horses ran a
couple of blocks and then tried the -sidewalk.
Ivan and Vearl Learman
were riding with Dillon and all
three were thrown out and stunned.
Ivan Learman was thought to be
seriously hurt. He was hurried to
Dr. Rosenburg's office where re
storatives were applied and he soon
regained consciousness. His back;
was hurt, but not seriously.
