AMERICAN'S ADVISED AGAINST
THE RASH INVESTMENTS.
F. W. Sheffield Has Traveled Over

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 cost 16
per plate, and those proposing to at
tend are requested to send checks
for the amount to the secretary.
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.

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.

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.

Will Be Built Up the luver several
Miles (Yum Milton.
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.
