At midnight tomorrow tin great'
Slut o of Oregon wilt hi dry. Some
nviy have the incorrect ideu that
tlic eotiimoiiwi'iilth will only be con
stitutionally, theoretically or teehni
rally dry, hut sentiment as reflected
by tin nun on tin- Direct, who will
compose the juries and upon whom
ullimnti'ly routs tho enforcement of
prohibition under our present legal
procedure, as well a the attitude
of the district attorney throughout
the state, portend that the state w ill
not only be technically dry, but actu
ally parched. ?
The indications are that retribu
tion will fall swiftly and silently up
on the bootlegger. There will be no
repetition of tho palmy days when
the soft drinkcstablishmenUproHper
-d and waxed rich in the alienee of
city and county license. Why will
this bo? Because public opinion and
Mcntimcnt rules and public opinion
and sentiment has gradually crys
talyzed until the majority of those
who voted against prohibition arenow
desirous that the law be enforced
to the letter.
"I feel," says District Attorney
Wirtse, "that the average jury is go
ing to deal unmercifully with the
bootlegger. Knowing that no law is
stronger than public opinion, I have
closely gauged sentiment since the
enactment of constitutional prohibi
tion over a year ago, and I nnd men
whom I am satisfied voted "wet"say

they now expected to help the
authorities moke it dry. It is typi
cally American for the minority o
submit gracefully to the edict of
the majority and sentiment in favor
of a strict enforcement of prohibi

strong.
"The law is strict. The enactors
decreed that it should be strict and
the law will bo impartially and
strictly enforced in this jurisdiction

LOCAL FIRM KEEPS
AUTOSIN STOCK
Do you want en automobile? If
so all you need is the price, and it
doesn't require all the purchase
price in cash either, at the time
the purchase is made.
There was a time when it was
necessary to nee the agent of the car
you wished to buy, make a deposit
and arrange to have a car run in
from The Dalles or some other point
through the mud if it happened to
be in winter, and when it arrived it
was almost a second hand car.
Now things are different how
ever. The Inland Auto Company
is prepared to supply a Buick,
Dodge or Ford without notice, and
they are new when you get them
too.
This company is agent for the
throe lines mentioned, . and has
shipped in car lots which mean
eight of them if Fords and a less
number in case of the larger cars.
The cars are shipped to Redmond,
unloaded and driven to I'rineville
and held in stock in the company's
garage here until the purchaser
drives them out, "Delivered in a
paper bag" as Mr. Ross puts if.
These people opened their garage
for bi sinessa few short months ago,
and had at that time the agency for
the Buick only.
Since that time the Dodge and
Ford have been offered them, and
they have added both of these popu
lar lines.
They carry a complete stock of
extras for all these lines, and fea
ture the matter of keeping cars in
stock for immediate delivery.
C. J. Johnson has anew Buick six.
