DRASTIC LIQUOR LAW FOR ALBANY Designed to Abolish Absolutely the Sale of Liquor in the City. - $1000 FUND -JO ENFORCE Anti-Saloon League 'Has Money. ew Law Rigid About Prescrip tions Soft-Drink Establish ments to Be Open to View. AT,BATT. Or., Jan. 29. (Special.) By unanimous vote the City Council of Albany last evening passed an ordinance virtually enacting the provisions of the state local option liquor law Into a city law and adding many provisions which make It one of the moBt drastic laws of the kind in force anywhere In the state. It is designed to abolish absolutely the sale of liquor in this city and In passing the measure the councilmen announced that the popular opinion here is in iavor of such a law. While the new ordinance establishes strict provisions as to the conduct of restaurants, billiard and poolrooms and confectionery establishments, it imposes on local druKBists many provisions not embodied in the state local option law. It requires drusxists to file prescriptions for liquor separately from all other pre scriptions, to mark them cancelled as soon as filled and to keep them con stantly ready for public inspection. Xo Laxity In Prescriptions. The prescriptions must also bear the nemo of the physician (.-ranting them and the date of their issuance.' This pro vision of the ordinance is designed to stop alleged laxity in the prescription clause of the state local option law. The ordinance gives cHy officers au thority to search without a warrant any place where they believe liquor is being pnld. It requires all soft drink establish ments to have open fronts and to remove all partitions so that people can look olear through the building from the street. This will require sweeping changes in the Interior of some local establish ments. Restaurants, poolrooms and confection ery stores are now required to close promptly at midnight every night, under the terms of the ordinance. For violation of this law fines of from J.V) to t'M or imprisonment of from 26 to 100 days are provided. On the second offense penalties of both fines and Im prisonment must be given. $1000 to Enforce Law. This law, which is to be enforced solely by the city of Albany, will not Interfere with prosecutions under the state law, so a man convicted of violation of the local option liquor law in this city In the future will face heavy penalties. The Oregon Anti-Saloon League has almost J10X) on hand, which has been sub scribed here for a prosecution fund to be used in this city, so It is probable the new ordinance will be strictly enforced. The passage, of the new law, which caused a sensation when it became gen erally known today, Is believed to be largely due to the meotlngs held here Sunday. In a mass meeting of citizens in the Opera House Sunday, afternoon there was a strong expression of opinion in favor of enforcement of the local option law so long as it is In force here and many prominent citizens not hereto fore Identified with the temperance move ment in any sense made public speeches in . favor of rigid enforcement of the law in Albany. SAT JUSTICE FORGOT PROMISE Albany Liquor Law Violators Obtain AVrlt of Review. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 29. (Special.) Al leging that Justice O. T. Porter prom ised the minimum, fine of $50 for pleading guilty to a violation of the local option liquor law. and that he then Imposed much heavier penalties, Lee Morgan, H. F. Hulburt and Charles A. Curran have secured orders for writs of review in the State Circuit Court. When the men appeared for sentence a few days after the alleged promise was given. Justice Porter fined Morgan C00. Hulburt and Curran then tried to change their pleas to not guilty, but the request was denied, and Hulburt was fined (150 and Curran $100. Attorney Whitney then claimed a breach of promise on the pant of the Justice and on this ground he has se cured a writ of review. Porter denies the" allegations In toto and says he can prove that nothing of the kind ever oc curred by the testimony of District At torney Gale S. Hill and two local citizens who were in the office all of the time during the hearing. Prosecution of pending cases brought for violation of the local option liquor law were resumed today, when the case against William J. Tohl was placed on trial before Justice of the Peace O. T. Porter. Most of. the day was spent In the selection of a Jury. Tohl Is a clerk in the drug store of Fred Dawson and is alleged to have sold liquor to W. L. Pason and H. D. Mitchell, the detectives who operated here In October under the direction of the Oregon Anti-Saloon league. I'GLY RIMORS ARE AFLOAT Hinted That Anti-Saloon Detective Has Been Bought Off. ALBANY. Or.. Jan. 29. (Special.) The local option prosecutions took an unex pected turn today when W. I Pason, the Portland detective, who worked up the cases here, failed to appear when the case against William J. Tohl went to trial. Pason had been subpoened today and bench warrant was issued for his arrest this afternoon after a jury had been em paneled. There is a rumorcurrent here tonight that he will not be found and prohibition Isis charge that Pason has been "bought off" and hired to leave the state.

WATER SYSTEM IS A SUCCESS Corvallis "Making Money on City - Owned Mountain-Water. CORVALLIS. Or., 'jan. 29. (Special.) The revenue from the sale of water to consumers by the city-owned mountain water system In this town for the year ending December SI, as shown by the annual report of the water commission Just filed, was J10.242.6L The report shows a balance of earnings on hand, after pay ing all expense, including the annual Interest at 6 per cent on JT5.000 -outstanding bonds, of J3.949.98. During the year, there had also been paid out from the earnings of the plant J1000, a part of the purchase price of the privately-owned system that was In operation before the municipal system was Installed. The city mountain -water system has been in operation a little more than two years, but has already demonstrated itself to be a marked financial success. The water comes from a deep, wooded gorge, high up on the slopes of Mary's Park, and Is taken from Rock Creek within two miles of the source of the stream. Chem ical and bacteriological analyses have re peatedly demonstrated It to be perfectly pure and wholesome. To the Installation of the mountain water system Is attrib uted a part of the explanation of Cor vallls' vigorous growth, which resulted in the- addition of more than 8 per cent In Candidate fop Legislature.

E. F. Jonn, Secretary. ABERDEEN,. "Wash.. Jan. 29. (Special) Much Interest attaches here to the working of the now primary law and, it has brought out more candidates for the office of Councilman in each of the wards than ever before known. There Is doubt expressed as to whether under the law candidates may elect to run on a eo-called citizens' ticket. One lawyer (fives It as his opinion that only under the name of a recognized, party can applications be made. Other law yers say that the citizens' ticket is as gtod under tbe law as any other ticket. The citizens ticket and the people's ticket, differing; only in the selection of" candidates, has been the rule here since the incorporation of the town, and under this system, though the town has been overwhelmingly Republican, Dem ocrats took, refuge and always stood as good a show as Republicans. This system of citizens' and peop le's tickets was abandoned In the last city and county election, the Republicans perfecting an organization, or rather the younger element with, a few old party men thrown In. The oldtlme Re publicans, or a majority of them lined up with the Iemocrata and pooh poohed the idea of a called Republican organisation. When the votes were counted, however, it was a great surprise for the older heads when they found that the young men had'elected a majority of the Councilmen and had also been successful within their county organization. Since fVen politicians seeking preferment have been obliged to deal directly with the newly formed Republican club. This year, however, the Democrats are hoverinr under the citizens' flag knowing that an out-and-out Democratic candidate will have hardly any show In the race. The Republican Club so far this year has shown no activity and Just what hand they will take In the coming municipal campaign remains to be seen. That they will be in the fight when It gets warm there is every assurance. At the head of the organization Is William Lanning,,a young lawyer and Justice of the Peace, and K. F. Jones, a Councilman representing the Fifth, Ward, who has made a good record for a young man. Through the efforts of the club, Secretary of War Taft was brought to Grays Harbor and given a royal good time. Senator Piles was also entertained handsomely by the organ ization. The club has built a bungalow clubhouse on North Beach and will entertain state politicians who may drift this way during the Summer months. 1907 and nearly 13 per cent during 1906, to the number of homes in the city.

After eight day a of continuous endeavor. much hauling and winching, pulling by tugboats and even profanity, the new municipal ferry-boat Washington made a clean break while lta crew was at dinner this afternoon, and with a loud splash slid Into the waters of Lake Washing ton. The result was a complete surprise. Not a soul was aboard to unfurl the American flag and the crew was forced to take after the vessel In rowboata to capture tt.

( The Japanese .have rented 1000 acres from the Puget Sound Mill & Timber Compaiiy and all preparations for the establishment of a large colony are completed. An Army officer who wishes his name kept secret, declared In an In terview today that the location of the colony was of the utmost strategic Importance to an invading foe. It is expected, as' is the case else where, that the Japanese who locate on the "farm" will be ex-soldiers. They will be in a posijion to take the of fensive on the least notice, threatening the forts guarding the entrance to the Sound. They can guide any landing party and are a menace to the sub marine defense because of ability to sever the wires by which the explosives are discharged. FREEZING OTJT THE JAPANESE AVhoIesale' Discharge at California Hotels, and Clubs. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29. (Special.) At least 200 Japanese have been dropped from service at prominent hotels and leading clubs and in private families in Southern California in the last week.

The Hotel Porter, at Santa Barbara, has dropped 75; Levy's Cafe, in this city, 25; the California Club 26; the Union League 15 and the Playa del Rey Hotel 25. Many of the big tourist hotels that formerly employed scores of- Japanese now keep but a few for the most menial positions. An abundance of white and negro help has filled the vacancies. On top of this has come the failure of many Japanese restaurants In this city. The prejudice against them has become so strong that they get little patronage. Lau rler'8 Policy Sustained. OTTAWA.

"I watched an entertaining storm high up In the mountains the other day and it occurred to me that It was symbolical of the stuff that entertains the people from the American stage. There is a blizzard of skirts, whits slippers and frothy music Just now, which, when it passes, will give room for something more rational." Such is the declaration of Opie Reed, author, -who is now visiting in Seattle. Several or the" best-known piaywngnis have failed of late because they have imitated themselves." he continued. "The author loses as much by imitating him self as by imitating someone else. After we have passed through this season of light musio and twinking feet, I believe we shall produce something worth while."

Cooper's visit to that city, and the effect of his new prepara tion as told -by people who had become convinced of the soundness of Cooper's theories with regard to the . human stomach. Cooper believes that the human stomach in civilized races has become greatlv weakend. He claims that most 111 health of the present generation is due to this wact. The article is as fol lows; "U T. Cooper' Is meeting with the same astonishing success In Pittsburg as in other cities. For the past few days many thousands of Pittsburg peo ple have called at his headquarters to talk with him. "Cooper's prophecy, made upon his arrival, to the effect that before, he left Pittsburg thousands would realize that his theory is correct and would come and thank him for what his medicine had done, is rapidly being borne out. "On Monday an astonishing number of people called to express their grati tude to Mr. Cooper. Judging from what soma of these people had to say to a Press reporter, when interviewed. Cooper's claim that the human stom ach is degenerate Is distinctly verified. "One of the most unusual statements was made by Mr. C. W. Woods, of 103 South Highland Street. Ho said: 'For four years my wife was in very poor health. She was weak and thin, with a hectic flush and cough. Physicians said she had consumption, and 1 was ' inclined to rbelieve them. It certainly looked as though her days were num bered, and there appeared to be very little ground for hope. " 'Shortly after Mr. Cooper came to Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful results that had been obtained by per sons who had tried his medicine, so I got some for my wife. She had taken it only two days when she was relieved of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be gan to Improve Immediately has gained seven pounds since she bpgan taking the medi ine.
