WHERE WAS CHRIS 7
And What Was the Matter with the
Jones Anti-Booze Law, Too? .
Deputy District Attorney Thomas
Burke this week served notice on a
couple of county seat property owners
to remove at once from buildings own
ed by them certain signs, advertising
beer and whiskey, which are illegal
under the statewide prohibition law.
These signs have graced the walls
of these buildings since Oregon City
went dry, over two years ago.
The signs have graced the same
wails since the first day of July, last
year, when the Jones anti-booze law
went into effect.
The Jones anti-booze law was the
same as the statewide prohibition law,
only it was a city ordinance. -It was
enforced by the Honorable Christian
Schuebel every time a farmer tried
to carry a few bottles of beer through
Oregon City, on his way from wet ter
ritory to his home. It was used to
jerk outsiders into the Oregon City
jail, and was enforced to take the
farmers money for municipal fines.
, Why didn't the Honorable Christian
Schuebel have these signs removed
when he was empowered to enforce
the Jones anti-booz law? What was
the Honorable Christian Schuebel
dreaming1 about during the six months
of last year when a parallel of the
statewide law was supposed to bo in
effect in the county seat? Why didn't
Chris do something?
Maybe he didn't want to offend the
property owners they were quit in
fluential.
TWO AFFIDAVITS NEEDED?
Maybe Drinkers Will Have Extra
Trouble Getting "Stuff" Here
The statewide prohibition law pro
vides that any person importing 24
quarts of beer and two quarts of hard
booze a month must sign an affidavit.
Well and good.
The Jones anti-booze law, which is
a parallel of the statewide law, and
which applies explicitly to Oregon
City as a city ordinance, also provides
that any person importing thirst
quenching but forbidden drink must
sign an affidavit.
Both laws are now in effect in
Oregon-City. And the question aris
es: will a county seat importer of
booze have to sign and subscribe to
two affidavits, or else be in jeopardy
of being jerked up by either the city
or the county for not complying with
the law?
Attorneys are divided in their
opinion. Some say that as both laws
are in effect, both must be observed
and obeyed. Others say that as the
form of the affidavit is the same, that
only one affidavit will have to be sign
ed. Anybody desiring first hand in
formation had better only sign one
affidavit ad then see what happens.
If they aren't jailed, one affidavit is
enough if they are jailed and fined,
then they will know that they should
have signed two. It is easy to find
out
"A Nice Time Was Had"
The Pilgrim Sons and Pilgrim
Daughters, classes of young ladies
and gentlemen of the Congregational
Sunday school, had a jolly time at the
Armory hall Friday evening where
they had congregated to greet the
New Year. The evening was spent
in playing games. At eleven-thirty
a lunch of coffee and sandwiches was
served. . As the advent of 1916 was
announced by the ringing of bells of
the city the boys started a basket ball
game for a short half. One of the
games of the evening, the relay race,
made a hit. Five young men and five
young ladies were chosen, each side
given a satchel containing a Merry
Widow bonnet, a four-in-hand neck
tie and a coat. The race went to the
side that could open the satchel, don
the togs, fasten the satchel as they
found it, run to the west end of the
hall, touch it and return to the east
side, open the satchel, take off their
decorations and put them in the sat
chel and strap. It was some sport.

Aunt Sally's
Bike
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915. by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
Things In and around the village of
Poolsvllle had got into perilous stute.
Not a tin peddler hnd entered the
town for six weeks, mid half the pnng
and coffeepots were leaking
Business wus so quiet tint t un order
for a whole gallou of niulusses was
almost town's talk.
One of the inhabitants uf I'ikiIhvIUc
was Aunt Sarah Tookcr. She mis wid
owed six years before and ilved with
her daughter. Aunt Sully hud always
been ft hustler, uud when u dull time
came to Poolsvllle she hud nlwuya beeu
ready to bestir herself to eml It. Mie
was ready to help end this. She went
to Deacon Thatcher und InUUjiiuuliy
asked: -
"Aro you men going to let this tuwu
fall Into Its inudliole and give a last
gasp?"
"Why. Aunt Sally, what can be
done?" he asked in reply. "We are In.
a rut here, and we've got to stay hi
that rut till Providence boosts us out
of it"
Aunt Sally went borne to say to her
daughter:
"Hanner. I am coins over to Guil
ford to see sister Kate for two weeks."
It was In the eurly days of the bike.
The machine had been adopted in al
most every other town urouud, but
Toolsvllle frowned upon It
Aunt Sally Tooker knew lust how
the bike was regarded in her home
town, and she knew that she was six
ty venrs old and was expected to set a
good example for the younger folks.
Nevertheless, she had only raacnea
Guilford, when she said to her sister:
Sister Kate, have they hikes for
sale In Guilford?"
"Why, of course," was the reply.
"Then get on your bonnet and go
with me to buy one."
"For a nephew?"
"No, sir; for yours truly, Aunt Sally
Tooker! I have come over here to
learn to ride the bike, and I can't get
at It a minute too soon."
"But von nre not uolnir to ride the
hlkB in Poolsvllle!" ensued the sister.
Why, they will mob you over there!"
"Let them mob and be darnea.
That's where I'm going to ride tho
bike. The old town Is In n rut, uud
I'm going to wako her up."
In n week she could ride up a mil
and down, uud when the time she had
given herself to remain In Guilford
had expired she started for Poolsvllle
on her bike.
The hlchwnv lendlin: out of and into
Poolsvllle Is a hill with a gentle slope
half r mile long, and It was the Hour
of noon one day when Aunt Sally
Tooker reached the brow of this hill.
There she rested and looked down
upon the village. It seemed asleep.
It was nfter Aunt Sally Una survey
ed this peaceful scene for Ave minutes
that she uttered three or four long
drawn screams and mounted her bike
and started down the hill. Though ber
screams aroused the town as the re
port of a cannon would, nil of a sud
den people appeared nt their -doors
and their gates and exclaimed to each
other:
What in heaven's name Is that?
Has the Judgment day come at lust?"
It hadn't but Aunt Sally Tooker ana
her bike had.
She wns comlnir down thut long
errndo. holdlnir her bike steady with
one hand and waving her bonnet with
the other. She went through thnt vil
lage like a cannon ball.
At the furthest outskirts of the vil
lage Aunt Sully turned about and came
whtzzlncr back to dismount in front or
the postofflee. where the crowd was
thickest.
Now. ma. vou have done It!' was
tho greeting of her daughter as she en
tered the house.
'Yes. I have woke up Poolsvllle, and
you are going to see things hum," was
the proud reply.
It wasn't an hour later before the
"hum" was beard and seen. The min
ister of Aunt Sally's church appeared
to ask:
"Sister, Is that your bike?"
"I paid $85 for it, parson."
"And are you going to ride It In
Poolsvllle?"
Morning, noon and night and some
times In the afternoon."
"Then, sister, you must take the con
sequences."
"I will, parson."
The consequences were that charges
wpre nreferred acalnst Aunt Sally.
Thn chorees acalnst Aunt hnlly were
for riding bike in the public streets
and thereby Injuring the cause of re
ligion. In five minutes her lawyer
tore these "Charges tp shreds. In five
more those who mode them were made
ashamed of themselves. Yon cun judge
of this line of argument.
Aunt Sally was very promptly ac
quitted. For a few weeks most of the
members of the church turned a coll
shoulder uoon her and the neighbors
kept aloof, but she weut on riding tier
bike until Deacon Dhurber said to the
crowd at the postolllce one evening:
"Bovs. we have cot to let up on ner.
When you come right down to It slid
hns ns much risht to ride a bike as we
have a horse, and you can't say she
don't do It a darned sight more mod
estlv. We all know she's woke up
Poolsvllle, and we ore getting the ben
efit of It So let us stop this
unnse."
And the nonsense was stopped, and
Aunt Sally contributed $15 toward re-
painting the meeting house.

eral months before being apprehend
ed. Young Wolfard, who was 20 years
of age, was the son of pioneers of

committeed, which shocked people in
the neighborhood of Silverton at the
time. In passing sentence on the
young man, Judge Kelly deplored the
frequency of such crimes, and said
that the only way to prevent such oc
currences was to impose heavy penal
ties when convictions were had.

OF COURSE THEY ARE
News from Britain Says Irish are In
Favor of Conscription
Tuesday's naners told us that the
Irish in tho British parliament were
in favor of the conscription bill. As
the hill doesn't effect the Emerald Isle
or its people, this is not to be marvel
led at greatly.
The conscription bill will make a
vast number of British "slackers" go
to the front and fight. It will still
leave the Irish the privilege of fight
ing if they want to and the average
Irishman likes to fight.
It is not to be wondered, therefor,
that the Irish are in favor of the bill
Not only does it present the joyful
spectacle of forcing iMigusnmen to
fight for their country-, but eventually
it will reduce the number of English
somewhat, and so make it easier for
the Irish to eet what they want
Why wouldn't they favor ltf

DEPUTY HAS ADVENTURE
Mr. Trembath, of Sheriff's Office, is
Hero of Runaway
Denutv Sheriff Trembath had quite
a thrilling time Monday noon. He
went out to serve some papers for Mr.
Wilson, who works in the sheriff's
office with Mr. Hackett, and started ojj
his trip behind a pair 01 prancing
blacks, which were drawing a nice,
rubber-tired stanhope. . Down Main
street he went or maybe it was up -in
the best of style, and many a
humble citizen envied him as he drove
by in his superb turn-out.
In front of the Baptist church, how
ever, things began to happen. An
inhnnnil interurban came along, and
Mr. Trembath's fine horse didn't like
it. So thev went up on the sidewalk
and also on their hind legs. Then
they started for the schoolyard of Mc-
Loughlin institute, but by a mighty
effort of his muscular arms, Mr. Trem
bath managed to get the excited steeds
headed north again, and they went
their way with two wheels of the
buggy on the sidewalk and two on
the Worswick paving.
Before reaching a telephone pole
that stood directly in their path, the
horses took ta the street again, and
at a somewhat lessened speed they
continued on their way. Mr. irembatn
finally got them under control, and
successfully transacted his business.
When he got back to the courthouse
he didn't say a word about his wild
ride, either.

HOME IS DESTROYED
Damascus House Bured to Ground
Late Sunday Evening
Fire completely destroyed George
Reid's home at Damascus Sunday
evening, presumably starting in an
overheated flue. The Reids had just
returned from visiting neighbors,
ahout eleven at nieht. and were busy
in the barn attending to stock, when
flames broke out f;'om the roof or the
house.
Lack of adequate water with which
to fieht the fire, and the fact that
neighbors were slow in arriving to
give aid, made the work of saving
household effects extremely difficult.
A few things from the kitchen and
rooms on the lower floor were gotten
out, however; and the rest of the loss
is partly covered by insurance. Mr.
Reid estimates that the fire did dam
age to the extent of about $2,500.
