Forty-Seven Year in Pulpit Fails
to Superannuate Rev. Mr.
Craig, Who Is City . Recorder.
TOUGH ON, THE DEADBEATS
By Everett Earle Staaard
Brownsville, 1 Sept. II. The Re. X
W. Craig of this city la a veteran min
uter who at tha ags of 77 rears la far
mora active than many a preacher who
considers himself superannuated and
fossilised. Ha bolda tha office of city
recorder, and owing to tha extra work
brought about by the paving of the
town thle aummer, and the legal battla
incident thereto, the Rev. Mr. Craig
haa been one of the buaieat men In the
city. And Juet to ahow how much ha
can do and to ahow that ha la atlll in
the ring a a. preacher., tha veteran
haa been supplying tha pulpit of tha
Methodist church here thle aummer.
The Rev. Mr. Craig waa born in the
atata of Arkansas and at the age of
7 yean started with hie parents, broth-
era and alatera for Oregon.
MAKT HARDSHIPS 'MET
He waa thus a member of the big
Immigration of 1852. He remembers
with peculiar vividness the events of j
that year, for the hardships were great
and the aorrowa many. Not only were
Indian attacks frequent, but hunger and
4 thirst were known daily and, worst ot
all, tha long wagon - trains were at-
tacked by that relentless enemy of
man, the cholera.
In the particular train wherein the
Craig family traveled there were 60
wagons, and Mr. Craig estimates that
they averaged at least four persona to
the wagon. Fully one-third of these
people died on the plains as a result
of the swift and terrible ravagea of
cholera. The boy was sleeping with
his older brother one night when the
brother awakened complaining of violent
cramps, and in something like a half
hour he waa dead. Mr. Craig remem
bers helping to bury him in a rude
grave In the sand.
OTHERS tirKEX OFF
And the cholera also claimed another
brother, three sisters and his father
and mother.- 'The boy of 7 years waa
thus rendered an orphan while he was
on his way to Oregon.
- Strangely enough, tha woman who be
came tha wife of Mr. Craig, lost her
father by this 'same pestilence cholera
six months before she was born. Her
maiden name was Belleu and she was
a aaugnter or Leander Belleu, who
died In the year 114 after going with
the gold rush to California,

where he had charge of a Methodist
church in the early days. In 1886 he
built the first Methodist church at Rosq-
burg. Beginning with- the year 1892 he
waa pastor for two years at Spokane,"
Wash. A little later he ceased working
for the Methodist church South and be
came connected with the Methodist
church NortM.
About the year 1898 he began preach
ing in the Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho.
Mnrixo SECTION VISITED
Tha big Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mines were then in operation, and there
waa much excitement and activity there.
At one time he preached to an audi
ence of 1000 persons. His preaching
activities led him to the following towns
Kingston, Wardner, Murray and Wal
lace, Idaho.
He preached In the Klamath Falls
country. 1898-1900, and spent a three
year period in Polk county, at the fol
lowing places: Dallas. Lewieton and
Independence, He came to Brownsville
in 1910 and has preached in practl
cally all of the Linn county towns.
Something of the scope of the life
work of this veteran soldier of the
cross is realized when we name over
the list of Oregon towns wherein he
has preached the gospel. The list is
as follows:
Junction City, Lebanon, Brownsville,
Halsey. Holley, Crawfordsville, Water
loo, Jacksonville, Klrby, Selma, Grants
Pass. Williams Creek, Weston, DaUas.
independence, Klamath Falls, Merrill.
Lewisville and cities of the Grand
Ronde valley. Thla does not take into
consideration towns in other states
where he has preached such, for exam
pie. as the towns preached in during
his nine years' stay in California and
four years in Ariiona.
Ten thousand days have been served
in jail, and 820,000 imposed In flneg In
the courts of Oregon during the last 13
months as a result of the activities of
the two State agents of the Oregon Anti-
Saloon league. This is a result of 1000
complaints which, the league has re
ceived during the year, according to W.
J. Herwig, superintendent. t
The report ahowa 150 raids were made,
100 stills confiscated and destroyed and
iuv convictions aecurea. in addition a
large number of eases are still pending
In the court Herwig estimates that
his agents have destroyed $30,000 worth
of bootleggers' and moonshiners' prop
erty during the year. The number of
gallons of liquor confiscated and Turned
over to the courts is not known.
HELPS LAW ENFORCEMENT
The main object of the Anti-Saloon
league Is to create a wholesome public
sentiment for law enforcement, ex
piamed Herwig. Where officials are
found to be enforcing the law the league
attempts to make it still easier and
more popular to enforce the law by
CQrstallzing public sentiment to uphold
and back law enforcement officers. On
the other hand, an effort is made to re
move those who fall to live up to their
oath of office.
In soma respects the work of the Anti-
Saloon league appears to be a duplica
tion of the work of the federal, state,
county and city prohibition agents, in
that men representing each branch of
the government are listed as among the
arresting officers in a large raid. The
work ot league officers is the same as
that of any other prohibition agent, but
they enjoy much more freedom and
success as they are not held down by
imaginary county lines.
AGENTS ALLOWED TO SPEND
Public tAX funds Which pay the ex
penses of publicly employed dry agents
cannot be spent as liberally as the funds
of the league. Whenever it is necessary
for a government, county or city offi
cial to make a few purchases of liquor
In order to secure tha necessary court
evidence, the case is invariably turned
over to Anti-saloon league agents, as
they are able to get the necessary funds.
League agents are also allowed to hire
special help for a short time, whenever
an investigatoln must be made.
Herwig has also found that his office
is receiving more complaints than public
prosecutors, because his agents have re
fused to divulge the source of their In
formation. Some .embarrassing court
situations have been caused as a result
of public officials revealing the name
of their Informant, he said.
Conferences have been held with diS'
trict attorneys, .sheriffs, mayors and lo
cal organizations. In almost every county
In the state to secure cooperation In
campaign of law enforcement and to
stimulate officials to pursue violators of
the prohibition law more vigorously,
This department of law enforcement
baa also been conducting a campaign to
eeorahth cooperation ot Judges In pro
nouncing sentences. - .j
FINES LLCS LICENSES
."Believing that ajner fine la only a
cheap license, wa have been urging
Judges to Impose a heavy JaQ sentence.
Herwjg said.- Tha results have been
exceedingly gratifying, as Judge an
over the atata ara sow giving heavy Jail
sentences.
The . league Is cooperating with our
department at Washington in the pas
sage of tha hill extending national pro
hibiten to every American in all coun
tries where the united States Is repre
sented. This will prevent any American
from engaging la the liauor business in
China, Japan and all other countries

mendous victory. Tbe national league,

KEEP UP WORK
Asked as to how long the work ot
th Anti-Saloon league would continue
in Oregon. Herwig said It would be aa
long as there Is any vestige ot the liquor
traffic left.

Thla controversial point was Cleared

"The board of engineers report to the

and recommendations, shows that the
board haa interpreted its instructions
broadly, and that It recommends a defl

dustrial uses.
"So far. as ia concerned the use for
Irrigation, the board did not go beyond
the scope of Its Instructions, and there

agencies through which the work of lni
gatlon storage and distribution might
be carried out It, however, supplied
