Hood River Is one of the "dry" towns that the Committee of One Hundred hn3n't said anything about. But "business is fine" there too, es pecially In the drug stores. The Oc tober grand )ury spent- some days looking Into the matter, and reported on t it. In fast about all the grand Jury did .vas to probe the liquor sit uation In "dry" Hood River, thus spending the taxpayers' money to discover If prohibition prohibited. This is what thoy found out, as set forth In their formal report to the Circuit Court on October 0, 1914: "Nearly all of the time of the grand jury has been taken up with consideration of alleged violations cf the local option law within this juris diction. Wc have received the report of the sheriff of the county as to the quantity of Intoxicating liquor shipped Into this county during the last three months. By this report It appears that a large amount of liquor hns been shipped to private individuals during the period, nnd presumably procured and used legally. It fur ther appears that the quantity re ceived by the drug stores during the period was considerably more than during the preceding three months, and too large to be disposed of in accordance with the section of the lo cal option law regulating the writing of prescriptions by physicians, and In this connection wc call the attention of physicians of Hood River County to Section 4021 of Lord's Oregon Laws. "Wc recommend that the physi cians confine themselves more close ly to the letter of this section of the local option law." The report is signed by Joseph Frazlcr, Jr., as foreman. mi OMHAX.
