Stat House, Olympia, "Wash,. Jan.
' The bone dry liquor law was the
I feature of the Washington legislature
f. Tuesday. A session attended by house
c and senate members, the governor, rep-
resentatlves of the W. c. T. U., the
t sheriffs of the state, who are in annual
g convention here, and others interested,
lasted for several hours, being staged
- In the house chamber,
f . Prosecuting attorney and sheriffs
. who spoke urged that the present laws
t fee given teeth to get the bootleggers
k and fake druggists.
. r- Another element urged that as the
f present limited prohibition law was
enacted by direct vote oT the people
i Of the state, any radical change, such
- as a bona dry measure, should be sub
e mitted to vote of the people.)
; f . A third and minority element urged
fi that the bone dry law be put into im-
mediate effect by the legislature.
.. The chief spokesman for the - last
Plan was George Conger, who has been
-f head of the Anti-Saloon league during
L all the years of fighting in this state.
t Dr. Conger made no secret of his be-
lief that to enact a bone dry law now
- Would be against public sentiment and
would be a step backward, but he said
w-f frankly that his superiors had ordered
S him to help put such a law over and
' She was accustomed to obeying orders.
1 The discussion would seem to evi
I dence absolutely that under no possible
. I circumstances will saloons ever be per-
tnitted again, that even a light wine
- I and beer law would not have a chance,
' f that public sentiment will even ap-
prove illegal destruction of valuable
property, as is being done by the dry
squad in Seattle, and that the best
1 Judgment is it is too early yet for
I bone dry legislation.
I Senate Considers Waterpower.
' - A bill to have the state take over
all the waterpower resources was be-
S fore the senate, having been in-
VtKilttced jointly by six senators,
I Nichols and Landon of King, Johnson
land Pbipps of Spokane and Fairchild
Ia&d Darts of Pierce. Under this meas
are. probably the mojt far-reaching of
' t aoy proposed at this session, the state
? Is to condemn all water sites, whether

missioners to handle waterpower af

to the people's vote, under the terms

Just four months away from women
who weep for food, the tragedies of
war and the turmoil of stricken Eu
rope, and Charles J. Voplcka. Amert
can minister to Roumania and Serbia,
will be ready to return and take up
his burden again. But he has enough
for the present, he said today.
"I shall never leave the Balkans
permanently," he said. "Those people
need American money and American
brains. I am going to devote myself
to getting those things for them and
in teaching them how to live. The
Balkans are the real democratic na
tions of Europe. 1 want to live with
the idea of accomplishing something
for them
Mr. Voplcka declares that the Rou
manians really believed they would
shorten the war by ix months by en
tering the struggle.
The Roumanians are like children,
he said. "They like the Germans, who
helped them get rich. They blindly
entered the war without sufficient
equipment to qualify them to fight
this war of wars."

Forest Orove. Or., Jan. 24. J. N.
Hoffman, attorney and loganberry
juice manufacturer, returned to his
home In this city Sunday evening after
an absence of six weeks spent in the
middle west and east In Interest of
local loganberry men.
After a thorough Investigation, Mr.
Hoffman says that he would not ad
vise farmers to plant any more logan
berries, until the market Is further
developed. He says there is enough
acreage in Oregon already planted to
loganberries to take care of the de
mand. What is needed is publicity to
put loganberry juice before the peo
ple, ana ims wouia require nnanciai
support that is not now at band, he
says.
Mr. Hoffman thinks that the hope
of loganberry juice is prohibition. In
several states he was warmly received
by bottling works, who are looking
for something to take the place ef in
toxicants.

able time to renew old acquaintances,
has "been followed by a buzx of com
ment as to reports that he will try to

Oregonians gather. He has replied to
questions concerning his candidacy by

ing a-tall to say about changing his

FOOD
COMMISSIONER
MAKES REPORT TO
THE LEGISLATURE
Says Conditions in Food Pro
ducing and Handling Have
Improved,
The eleventh biennial report to the
legislature of J, D. Vickie, stato dalrv
and food commissioner, has made Its
appearance in printed form.
uenerai sanitary conditions in food
producing and food handi'na establish
ments have greatly lrapnred during
me perioa covered by this report." ne
says. Great improvement haa been
noted in country slaughter house and
bakeries. As much cannot ba aald,
ha d eel area, for aom of tbv catiy fac
tories "mora concerned in getting their
products out Into the market and
getting tha returns therefrom back
Into their pockets than they are la
paying attention to tha deaullnesa ct
their factories orthe quality of the
prcduota" Bottling plants, ha pre
dicts, will multiply as tha use of soft
drinks increases; most of them ara re
gsroful of sanitation but soma arc
not. .
Tavorahle by Comparison,
In general, the commissioner says
that "sanitary conditions of Oregon
dairies, creameries, cheese factories.
lories, oaaenes, ootumg pianta, mark
ets, slaughter houses and canneries
will compare very favorably with
those of any other state.
Mr. Mlckle speaks at length of
dairy industry progress. No state, be
says. Is better adapted to dairying
than Oregon. Corn production is add
ing much to the Industry. Systematic
fertilisation of land adds much to
crops for feed and directly adds to the
profits of dairying. The dairy statis
tics given by the commissioner cover
the yoar from October 1, 1814. to Sep
tember SO, 1915. Thirty prosecutions
ara recorded, of which sight resulted
in acquittal or dismissal. ;
Analysis of Xdgasra.
In his report to tha dairy, and food .
eommlasioner. A. 8. Wells, chemist in
tha of flea says; -state wide prohibi
tion becoming erfectiva. January 1,
1111. haa added a great deal of work .
to our chemical department, la thut I
bava been called upon to make a large
number of liquor unalyses for the in
formation of the prosecuting officers
of tha atate.
"At the beginning of tha rear t
tested many of the imitation beere and
soft drinks which wer being sold on
the Oregon market and found tbum
generally to come within the limits of
the prohibition law." Thousands of "
examinations of butter, mil, cream,
cheese and manufactured food pro
ducts were chemically made oy the
office. m
The yearly appropriation for - the
salaries and expenses of the dairy and
food commissioner's office is $4. to?,
and Mr. Mlckle suggests that If mem
bers of the legislature could personal
ly be made to realise the impor-ance
to the atate of the work more gen
erous appropriation would be made'
for It.

grew to its present vast size of sixty

that were unequaled at our prices.
We continued as America's leaders
at $2.50 and $2.95. For years we have
jealously guarded our premiership
and today we stand alone in the realm
of shoe retailing on the pedestal of
high quality and low prices.
Material changes have taken place,
having seriously affected the cost of
leather and production, but this has in
no measure hampered our leadership.
Comparatively speaking, we are fur
ther ahead of our competitors at this
time than ever before.
In spite of present conditions, we
still maintain our conservative lines
and popular styles at $2.50 and $2.95,
aside from our specialty lines at $3.45,
$3.95, $4.45 to $5.95.
