M Patfnrnc IlcW lUcd raiiernS OREGON IS DRIEST STATE IN UNION XKW LAW WKNT INTO KFr'MT YKHTKKDAY AT 4 O'tLOTK CRIME TO BE INTOXICATED floral nmrliil Will Kiiforre Iaw to letter Little Dllllrulty In Anticipated However As far as Intoxlcatinf beverages may be concerned, Orgon became as dry as the Suhara last Friday at 4 o'clock when the governor affixed his signature to the so-called bone dry bill which had passed the legis lature on schedule time. The law that has been enacted is simply an act amendatory of the law passed by the 1915 legislature and which went Into effect January 1, 1916. The new act, passed as the re sult of the action of the people at the polls on November 7, 1916, pro hibiting the importation of intoxi cating liquor, makes it unlawful to give away intoxicants, to have them in one's possession, to carry them from place to place, to import them, to drink them or, In nlaln words, to have anything whatever to do with them. The local authorities have ex pressed their intention of enforcing the law In Crook County to the letter and are making preparations with that end in view. While the new law does not give the authorities warrant to search for and seize Intoxicating liquor, the former search provisions of the law of 1915 still remain, allowing the officers to enter and search premises where intoxicating liquors may be kept for the unlawful pur pose of sale or barter rendering any place or habitation a nuisance, or any place where people resort for the purpose of drinking or carous ing although no sales may be made. It is now more difficult to get alcohol than ever before. Dentists, druggists, physicians, scientists, art ists, etc., must get a permit from the district attorney before they can purchase supplies. All other persons must get a prescription from a physician. The law allowed five days within which persons having ordered "shipments" before the law was signed by the governor, might re cover them from the express offices. This five days of grace expired yes terday afternoon at 4 o'clock and the express agents have 25 days more within which to return all un called for packages to the consign ors. Little difficulty is expected in this county by the authorities. Drunkenness is now made a crime by state law, and all such offenders will be handled by the county au thorities as well as by the city. As a result drunkenness is likely to become unfashionable, CBas. Montgomery is having his new house and barn wired by the Deschutes Power Company, and will have the buildings both well lighted. ee our and Complete Stock Every size and style now on hand ItKIIKKAIIS AT TKKItKHONNR Lodge Organltnl by I'rliievilln Mem-iM-m Saturday Kvcnliiu A Kebekah lodge was organized at Terrebonne Just Saturday even ing by members ot the Priueville branch of that. order, led by Mrs. C.
