Interesting Problems Raised by the Temperance Town of Hood River Endeavoring to Knock Out the Law Is tlie Enactment Ex Post . Facto, and Does it Invalidate Contracts in the Constitutional Sense? TRYING TO FIND CHARLEY ROSE BEWARE OF MEXICO AMERICAN'S ADVISED AGAINST THE RASH INVESTMENTS. F. W. Sheffield Has Traveled Over Ail Portions of the Republic Has Visited State of Jalisco Many Times But Never Heard of the City of Ja liscoVery Few Bona Fide For tunes Ever Made by Americans There Pleasant Place to Visit In Winter Season. nor the methods of doing business, to make any headway in that country. As to taking an excursion to .Mex ico, it is a pleasant place to spend a winter, but an undesirable country in the summer season. He advises Americans to be sure of their footing in that country before sacrificing any capital In investment. Most of the American successes in Mexico, he de clares, are on paper. "Why any American citizen should desire to leave the United States to become a resident of Mexico, is more than I can understand," said F. W. Sheffield, traveling salesman for the Portland Cordage company, to the East Oregonian today. Mr. Sheffield has traveled in the republic of Mexico for the McCor mlck Harvester company for two years, visiting every settled portion of the country and carrying American harvesting machinery into several portions of that country into which no American had before ventured. Mr. Sheffield has traveled over the entire state of Jalisco, many times, and speaks In high terms of the cli mate of the state of Jalisco, of which Guadalaxara Is the capital, but he has never heard of the city of Jalis co, and knows nothing of the town site scheme which is being promoted in this country, at that reputed city. The railroad being built by the Pan-American ppmpany is In the far southern state of Chiapas' in the hot belt. In latitude 14 and 16 north, and Jit in the undesirable portion of Mexi co. As to the settlement of Mexico by Americans Mr. Sheffield says that the inducements are few and far be tween for bona fide settlers. At first the government Is lenient and gives many special privileges to Americans Jintll they are located when tney are taxed to death. There are half a dozen special taxes which are col lected on the amount of business transacted, every paper signed or filed, every shipment and consign ment of goods, every bill of lading issued and all other necessary papers And documents used In carrying on. n ordinary business. He advises Americans who are thinking of investing money In Mex ico to Be sure what they are doing before letting go of any property In the United States. It is an up-hill business for men not familiar with the language, manners of the people THOMAS JEFFERSON BANQUET. Will Be Given In Portland April 1, at Hotel Portland. Invitations have been received by several Pendleton citizens to attend the banquet to be given by the Amer ican Patriotic Club of Portland on April 1, In honor of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson. The affair Is to be held at the Hotel Portland at 7 p. , and It Is understood will be at tended by leading men from all over the state.

The banquet is to be given out of respect to the services of President Jefferson to the states of the North west in sending out the Lewis and Clark expedition. Judge C. B. Bel linger, president of the American Patriotic club, will act as toastmaater at the banquet, and he Is said to have few equals In that respect on the coast. Other officers of the club are W, D. Wheelwright, vice-president, and George W. Hazen, secretary. SNOWFALL IS GENERAL. Blue Mountains Covered With Four to Eight Inches of Fresh Snow. Snow to the depth of four to eight Inches has fallen throughout the en tire Blue mountain region. In Grand Ronde valley four inches of snow fell yesterday and last night At Ukiah and Alba about three Inches fell. At Kamela and Meacham It has (alien to a depth of eight Inches and on the foothills In Union and Umatilla coun ties a slight fall has been enjoyed. Sufficient snow has fallen at the head of the Grand Ronde river to cause a rise In the river and logs can now be driven to Perry. All the small streams In the mountains are rising and the snow has been of inestimable benefit to the Eastern Oregon counties. Aim J re teas EE to you tk& asking Delicate Operation on Mare. Dr. T. J.

If aw W tke tlaie to plaat tke eeea, Sea taa btIhs ia oar wiaeew, Tollman Shall the local option law now In force In Oregon be upheld as In com pliance with the constitution or not? This Is a matter that will have to be decided by the supreme court when it meets here In May. The law having been in force this long, most people have come to look upon it as definite ly established, and probably few arc aware that It Is now In jeopardy. However, such Is the case, and sin gular as It muy seem. It is the tem perance town of Hood River that Is seeking to have the law Impeached, while some half dozen saloon men of that place are Interested in having the law upheld. The case that Is to be tried here at the coming session of the supreme court is that of the City of Hood River vs. P. F. Fouts, a former saloon keeper of that peace ful burg. John McCourt Is the attor ney for the city, while W. H. Wilson of The Dalles, represented the saloon man. The Issue is the recovery by Fouts of $260 from the city for a li cense that was not allowed to expire because of the local option law. Un der that law It is directed that such amounts shall be repaid to the saloon keepers. Suit was first brought against the city by Fouts in the cir cuit court of that district, and the de cision by Judge Bradshaw was favor able to his side and upheld the local option law. The sole point on which the Hood River side of the case Is being fought In the supreme court Is the constitu tionality of the law. By proving the illegality of the law the attorney for the city would save the town from re funding the amounts of the unused licenses. In the brief which Mr. Mc Court is now preparing it Is held that the local option law Is contrary to section 21 of article 1 of the state constitution, which Is as follows: Sec. 21. No ex-post-facto law nor law Impairing the obligation of con tracts shall ever be passed, NOR SHALL ANY LAW BE PASSED THE TAKING EFFECT OF WHICH SHALL BE MADE DEPENDENT UPON ANY AUTHORITY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS CONSTI TUTION; provided that laws locating the capital of the state, locating coun ty seats, and submitting town and corporate acts and other local and special laws may take effect or not upon a vote of the electors Interested. It Is the latter part of the section that is held to make the local option law Invalid, In the Journal of the constitutional convention . which adopted the constitution in 1859 there are some very Interesting facts in regard to the adoption of this sec tion. The latter part of the section was attached as an amendment, and the Journal states that Mr. Grover moved an amendment to Insert after the word "acts" the words "prohibi tory liquor law," and the motion was voted down. This fact Is held to show that it was not the intention of the constitution makers to allow certain localities to adopt laws for them selves governing the liquor subject. It Is held that If the law were gen- roiiv onarted all over tne state it ould be valid, bul not otherwise. Also, it Is held by the attorney for the appellant that the referendum amendment does not make the local option law a legally enacted one. Whatever the outcome may De tne case is sure to arouse conmuemuic Interest when It Is tried In the su nreme court here In May. At that time oral arguments will also made by the different attorneys. Ik a Young Man and Formerly Resi dent iu TUIm County. Superintendent Frank K. Welles has received a letter from a man In Idaho, asking ,us to the whereabouts of Charley Rose, and also the present age of the lost Charley. The only basis he Is given to work on Is the statement that the man In question, vlio in i.ow said to be about iS yearB of age, Is said to have attended the si hools li this county some years ago. In view of the tact that It would re quire an examination of all the reg isters In all the districts of the coun ty for many years the request has so far not been compiled with, conse quently the exact Nige of Charley Roc will have to be ascertained some other way. Whether it is a fortune or an unex piitd Jail sentence that Is waiting for Charley Is not stated In the letter, nor does it state If or not he Is any lclat'on to the famous Charley Ross, which might be Inferred from the similarity In the names. W E TOURISTS FOR MILTON. Fifteen From Kansas and Indian Tcr ritory Trensfer Here for tlie Fruit Belt. Fifteen homeseekers transferred here this morning from the main line O. R. & N. train for Milton, where they expect to locate permanently having been attracted here by the reports of Milton fruit and alfalfa. There were five families In the party from Southeastern Kansas and Cherokee nation and they are leav ing the Southwest for good and ex pect to remain In Oregon perma nently. Conductor Fred Waffle, who came In on No. 5, the west-bound train which arrived at midnight last night, says that a colony of about 30 people including several children, arrived at La Grande last night, also from Mis sourl river points, and will locate In the sugar beet belt WOODCRAFT CAMPAIGN. Over 100 Members HaTe Been Se cured in Pendleton in Three Weeks. The Women of Woodcraft organiz ers who have been working diligently In this city for the past three weeks have secured about 100 new members for the order. The city has been canvassed very tnorougniy once, and It is now thought that by assistance from the Commercial association additional so Ucltors might be placed In the field and the entire city worked over again. Very few business men have joined the order so far, and it Is the desire of President Borle of the Commercial association to have every man In bus iness in the city be sounded on the proposition. The addition of 100 members In this time Is considered remarkable showing.

As a result of the recent visit of County Judge Bean and Commission er Walker to the north end of the county, two new bridges, both of con siderable importance, are to be built there. The Joe West bridge, on the Walla Walla river, is one, and the North Fork bridge on the north fork of the Walla Walla, is the other. Both bridges are several miles up the river from Milton. Both have been In use for many years, and new ones are made neces sary by reason of the old ones having become rotten and worn. Both bridges are to be single spans, one of 60 feet and the other 70 feet. Plans for the new structures will be asked for In a short time, and when selected the work will be let by contract. It Is expected that the work will be secured by parties here or at Walla Walla.
