"BUSINESS IS
IINL."
Grand Jury In Dry Town Says Too
Much Liquor Sold Haps Doctors.
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.

The Committee of One Hundred
says:
"If you want to find out ;vltnt
dry Oregon will do for Oregon, go
to Koseburg nnd seo whnt dry
lloscburg has accomplished."
Here's whnt it lms done.
It has cut down the bank deposits
by otr $500,000, In spite of the
fact that there arc now four banks
to the two in existence when Hose
burg had licensed saloons, and that
the population has Increased In pro
portion to the scttllnp. up of South
ern Oregon by new settlers and Im
migration. When Roscburc had licensed sa
loons the tax levy, on one-third of
the valuation was two mills. Since
RoscburR hns gone dry the tax levy
has varied from eight to ten mills
on n full valuation; and In addition
occupation taxes have been steadily
increased,
The Cummlttce of One Hundred
boasts that dry Roseburg has erected
n $115,000 hotel. The hotel was
weeted In 1913, stood Idle and ten
