The impression seems to stick in the narrow craniums of certain per sons in this community that under signed advocated local option, in fluenced voters in its favor, etc., in order to obtain a complete monopo ly of the liquor business of this place. Furthermore I am accused of showing inconsistai.cy and play ing the hypocrite in my attitude as a man of temperate habits and dis penser of medicines liable to intoxi cate. As to the first accusation, I will nail it as a lie by challenging any one to prove I ever publicly or pri vately advocated local option or prohibition for the purpose of in fluencing anyliody's vote. Anybody who knows mo knows that my po litical beliefs favor neither local op tion nor prohibition. I don't hide my political light under a bushel. I lived 4 years in a prohibition state. I am well acquainted with the conditions before and after. I have frequently leen asked how the law operates and is taken by the in habitants, replying by simply pre senting facts that anyone may veri fy. It is no more inconsistant or hypocritical for me to deal in intoxi cants than for Mr. Stewart or Mr. Lewis to deal in tobacco in unre stricted quant ies. Neither of .these men make personal use. of it nor do they permit its use by any member of their family. .'Essence of Lemon, Essence of Vanilla and Jamica Ginger contain anywhere from 30 to 50 per cent of alcohol, an amount equal to the strongest whiskey, yet offered for sale by every grocery man in town. There is more poison in a dollars' worth of tobacco than there is in a dollars' worth of whiskey. Why do these men then sell to bacco? . For the very same reason that I sell any goods in my line the profit there is in it. Knock the profit out of the whiskey . business and you have killed it effectively for all time. Being myself a consistant temper ate man in everything, my public and private attitude towards the use or abuse of these things cannot. 1k otherwise than as stated. My training as a druggist natur ally leads mo to place spirituous liquors in the category of remedial agents medicines which in my opinion is the proper classification, and would like to have the public so consider them. As you all know, I am not given to" finding fault, I simply desire to correct a false impression. Respectfully, Kkoostad, the Druggist. Joe Lane, son of Mr. anil Mrs. Scott Lane, died suddenly at his home at Siletz Wednesday. G. Dahl, the gardner, brought to market a cauliflower Monday that weighed seven pounds and measured llxllj4 inches across the face. Pretty good size, isn't it. Mrs. J. G.
