4 THE MORMNG ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, JUNE i, 1906. T MEANS TEAR DOWN Cannot Have the Brewery and Local Option Too. IMPORT ANT OPINION RENDERED Attorney G. C. Fulton Deals With Uie Big Question Confronting the Vot ers of "Astoria, No. 6" Let Every Voter Understand. The follow-to important opinion ren dered yesterday by Attorney G. C, Ful ton, of this city, demands the earnest perusal and consideration of every voter in precinct No. 6 of the city of Astoria, before he casts hi vote on the loedl option issue pending in that especial territory, as the opinion is conclusive as to the operation of the local option law against the maintenance of the great ! brewing plant of the North Pacific Brew-1 ing Company, in that precinct To vote local option there is to serve a peremp tory writ of ouster on that big and im portant business; and that means a dis tinct and heavy loss to that bailiwick. this city, and county, which no idle play of sentiment and no thoughtless ue of the franchise, can possibly justify. Read it, and then say if you can afford to deliberately drive such a business out of existence: The Opinion, Astoria, Oregon, June 1, 1906. North Pacific Brewing Co., City. Gentlemen: Complying with your rt request, I have examined the "Local Option Law" of this state, with a view of determining whether or not it applies to breweries and distilleries; that Is, should a precinct in which a brewery or distillery is located and operated go "dry" would that prohibit the sale of the manufactured products thereof? The act itself leaves very little if anything for construction it is so plain ly ordered, that he who runs may read. By Sec. 10, of this act, in all pre cincts voting 'Tor Prohibition' it is provided. Thereafter it shall be unlawful to sell op exchange or give away any intoxicat ing liquor therein, excepting for certain medicinal and mechanical purposes, specified in Sec. 2, of the act, which has no application to the question here. It will be observed that the language employed in exceedingly clear and to the point; the sale is not limited to such dealers as are to be drank within the precinct, but any sale, and gift, any exchange, for any purpose, regardless of the amount or quality, is prohibited. It therefore logically follows, that while there is no prohibition against the man- would uphold. A brewery is operated flK It rtllllllll-H'im JMVpWSO O'll ihm.-i., , 1,- product are manufactured for sale, and nn attempt to avoid the plain wonting of this statute, by shipping same into a precinct which permits sale, from a pre cinct which prohibits the sale, and tluni consummate a sale, is as transparent as the old trick of selling to the innocent a small piece of soup, and giving with it 11 lottery ticket; this deceived the foolish and unsophisticated, but the courts uni versally held it to be a crime, and pun ished the seller accordingly. In my judgment, the statute plainly prohibits the sale of any intoxicating liquor within a precinct, which lias voted "For Prohibit ion" whether said liquors are to be used, or drank within such precinct, or elsewhere. Respeet fully submitted, G. C. FULTON OOOOOOOOOOOOOO O O O AT THE CHURCHES. O o o OOOOOOOOOOOOOO First M. E. Church.

The sermon topics are, "The Great Memor- ufaeture of intoxicating liquors, or jal," and "The One Essential Thing." A against operating a brewery in a pre cinct voting "For Prohibition" yet no sale of its manufactured products can be made. It has been cunningly suggested that .this statute can be avoided, that it can .be rendered nugatory, and its intent de feated, by first shipping the products of the brewery into some "wet" pre cinct; and colorably making a sale .there. I sumbit that this devious pro ceeding would be the accomplishment of An act, indirectly which the law pro hibited being done directly, it would be a mere subterfuge, an attempt in a round about way to avoid the plain provisions of an act clear in its meaning and in .tent, which no honest court or jury I .hearty invitation is extended to all who may desire to worship there.

The steamer Telegiuph came down yesterday on her 1:.10 srhedule and had few passengers from Portland. First Officer E. E. Crawford, who has served on her for a long time punt and has be come deservedly popular on tin- river. from the metropolis to this city, ban left her and gone into the service of the Northern Commercial Company, of Alas ka, as pilot on their Yukon river llect. between St. Michaels and Dawson, ter ritory with which he is perfectly famil iar, having worked there for years dur ing the discovery days. He departed from Seattle yesterday evening for the far north and will assume his pot im mediately upon arrival at St. Michaels. His place on the Telegraph has been taken by Oorge ("lather, well and favor, ably known in this city as a eapuble river man, and the latter gentleman was on the bows" yesterday on her arrival bene. It is reported that the steamer Sam son had some trouble with one of her rock barges up the river early yesterday morning, and was compelled to beach one of them on Millers Sands while she took the other to the jetty. The accident occurred by running the port tow on the abandoned anchor of some vessel, that had become uncovered by the shifting of the sands in the tide way. The crippled barge will be emptied of her cargo and repaired. Tomorrow the natty little Telegraph will make a record run between Port land and this city, with a big excursion on board. She will leave the metropolis promptly at 7 o'clock in the morning and it is expected she will tie up at the Callender pier here, as promptly, at high noon. This will mean a running speed oi over twenty miles an hour, as no steps will be made between Portland and Astoria. Keep your eye on the Tele graph ! Viile there is nothing to brag about jn the access of the run of salmon in the river during the past few days, there is a quiet sentiment among the fisher men that the catch is slowly and stead ily improving day by day. The steamer Lurline went up the river last night on prompt time, with the following people in her cabins: Theodore Broemser and wife, and Mr. and Mrs. K. K. Blair. The steamship Costa Rica was expect ed to arrive here yesterday from the Bay City, but did not materialize, and .will probably dock here today. The motor schooner Gerald C, left out for a voyage to Alsea. yesterday morn ing, with a full load of general mer chandise. The barkentine Anelia went to Port land on the hawsers of the Harvest Queen on her return trip, early yester day morning.
