E DRY BILL IS
REFERRED 10 WIRTZ
MA V tHt INTO EFFECT DURING
NEXT TK.V DAYS
CRIME TO BECOME INTOXICATED
No OhmIh In Might Oregon will Be
One of the Driest Htaten In
The Nation
District Attorney Wirtz has re
ceived from Representative J. E.
Anderson, of The Dalles, chairman
of the Committee on Alcoholic Traf
fic of the legislature, a copy of the
bill that he has prepared and In
troduced to put Into effect the
amendment to the constitution
adopted last November by the peo
ple prohibiting further importations
of Intoxicating liquors and render
ing Oregon' absolutely bone dry.
The bill was prepared by Mr. An
derson and his committee after con
siderable pains and examination of
several bills proposed by different
dry organizations and will no doubt
go into effect in almost the identical
language In which it Is now drawn.
It carries an emergency clause which
means that the bill will become a
law immediately upon its passage
by both branches of the legislature
and is signed by the governor,
which will be about February 1, so
it behooves all citizens of Crook
County at once to become familiar
with its provisions so that embar
rassing relations with th district
ottorney' office may not immediate
i; iollow.
In addition to making it unlawful
to receive, import, transport, de
liver, manufacture, sell, give away
and barter Intoxicating liquors, it
will be unlawful under this law to
have intoxicating liquor in one's
possession, but the law excepts all
liquor that is lawfully in the pos
session of any person at the time
the law goes into effect. After
that time the possession of liquor
is unlawful though the bill con
tains no provision for the searching
of persons or the seizing of contra
band liquor. , !
Sales of alcohol as now permitted
are further restricted and druggists
will not be permitted to sell alcohol
except upon the prescription of a j
reputable physician. The physician j
is required to make duplicates of all j
prescriptions given containing alco- i
not, ana nie same eaen month, con
secutively numbered, with the coun
ty clerk. The druggists will be
obliged to give a bond as under the!Wood- lrv'
present law, take affidavits as nowWood' green
required, and file same together j
with the original prescriptions with
the county clerk, by which a com
plete check against all such pre
scriptions and sales is automatically
provided for. No more than two
quarts will be sold to any one per
son as at present.
Druggists, physicians, dentists,
and others requiring the use of
alcohol for other than medicinal
purposes cannot purchase alcohol
without getting a permit from the
district attorney. Druggists must
procure this permit before ordering
from the wholesale houses. The
wholesale houses cannot sell to the
druggists without this permit,
which accompanying the order of
the druggist ts returned to the dis
trict attorney and filed by him with
the county clerk each month.
It is made a crime to become in
toxicated. The penalty for mere
drunkenness is a fine of from $10
to $100 or a Jail sentence of not
exceeding 60 days. Drunkenness
in one's own house is punishable by
the above penalty.
The bill was sent to Mr. Wirtz
for his examination and approval
and for any suggestions he might
doem advisable in connection with
it. The district attorney says that
he approves the bill thoroughly,
but believes that some restrictions
should be placed upon the sale by
druggists and merchants generally
of bitters and tonics containing
large percentages of alcohol, now
frequently purchased for beverage

AND SEATTLE MARKETS
There has been but little change
in local market conditions during

weather, and many cords are piled
in the yards unsold. The quality
of wood is better than earlier in

but supplies are being shipped from
Portland and the dealers would
like to buy from home growers if
there are any supplies left in the
