Heppner Gazette: It is reported
on good authority that all the buyers

cattle as they desire, and that one sin
gle county in Eastern Oregon will
more than furnish the beef for the

are liable to be out of luck.

Temperance Notes.
Out of 953 samples of French wine re
cently analyzed, but 95 were found genuine,
the remainder being more or less arlulturat
ed with unwholesome drags.
The vigorous work of the Brooklyn, N.
Y., Excise Leange is having marked effect,
the successful prosecution of liquor dealers
for violation of the excise laws, has caused
large numbers of saloon keepers to surren
der their licenses rather than stand prose
cution. Maine has passed a law preventing per
sous from soliciting trade for liquors in the
state. Drunkards will be imprisoned from
rive to thirty days for first offense, and from
ten to ninety days for second offense. The
legislature has passed a law prohibiting the
newspapers from advertising liquors.
In Alabama, any person is liable to a fine
of $250 to $1000 and imprisonment for one
year, for concealing liquor in a prohibition
county, with intent to sell the same or give
it away. Also to knowingly permit any
one to conceal it on one's premises, renders
a person liable to imprisonment.
The sale of liquor annuls a man's lease,
leaving him without a remedy, and persons
frequenting a place where liquor is concealed
are punished by tine and imprisonment, and
for all convictions in liquor cases the prose
cuting attorney gets double fees.
And so the work goes oa in Rhode Island,
California, Texas and our own state have
adopted bills submitting constitutional pro
hibition to the people. Georgia has enacted
probibitioa in 101 of its 138 counties, and
Alabama has adopted it for one-half of its
state, Tennessee has 8, and Maryland 9
counties under prohibition. New . Jersey is
moving both for prohibition ami scientific
temperance instruction in its schools, bill of
each having already passed one branch of
their present legislature, a bill prohibiting
the ale of tobacco in all its forms to miners
under 16 has also passed and is a law now
in that state.
