The public will be interested In the effect .,f the prohibition status upon IpttgMa and other organizations main taining bars which distribute Intoxi cating liquor. Sections la and II of the prohibition law makes such bars I impossible. All lodges w ill be re I quired to discontinue their bars and to keep Intoxicating liquors entirely I away from the lodge premises. Sec tion la prohibits any person from Keeping with oU r maintaining by himself, or rs, or from aiding in his I maintenance of any lodge room or club room in which Intoxicating li- I quor it received or kept. Section 16 makes the lodge room where liquor ) Is kept unlawfully, a common nunc lunce. and the prohibition law pro vides how such nuisance shall be dls. posed of by the officers. jt seems plain from the oonttdera- tion of these two sections that there J Is no way by which liquor may hi- kept !ln lodge rooms or distributed among ; lodge members or used for any pur POM In connection with the Paige. 'Section II declares that the place 'where "persons are permitted to re Kort, for the drinking of intoxicating liquors as a beverage" is a common 'nuisance. It follows that a lodge 'member may lawfully carry liquor on (his person to a lodge hall or clun room, but If anybody is permitted to ; resort to such club room for the pur pose ot drinking such liquor, then the lolub room becomes a nuisance, and all I parties interested are guilty of viola tion of the law. This statute Is so broad that It seems a restauratd Keeper cannot lawfully permit liquor to be brought to the restaurant lit customers and (here used us a bev erage. Under the authorities, one act probably would not bo unlawful, but as soon as the practice became gen eral the law would be violated. The safe course for the restaurant man is ir prohibit the consumption of liquor on his premises. The nuisance re ferred to In these paragraphs can bo enjoined by a proceeding set forth la the prohibition statute. A very important part of the nui sance feature of the prohibition law is Its effect upon the person owning or having under control any budding. The law provides that an) such per son who knowingly permits a bund ling lo be used as a nuisance, or who. i after being notified by the offi. ci s. or by any citizen of such nuisance, ami then falls to take proper measures to stop the nuisance, or to evict the ten- ,11111, then the owner Is guilty of aastal ling in the maintaining of the nuis- liince. This provision of the law re I quires every owner, or person having a building under control to assist In the enforcement of the prohibition law regardless of his own preferences or sentiments. Ordinarily, the prose, cutlng officers will find It easier, ami probably more satisfactory to notify the owner of property and then pro ceed against him If he falls to do his duty, than to proceed against the bootlegger whose acts are making Ome building a common unlsance as defined by the prohibition law. Put owners of buildings are not Jhe only persons rharced with responsi bility under the law. All cllizcns will have all opportunity to assist In the enforcement of the law and methods AT GOLD MILL the Panan if the cans came. Will Affect Maintain Bars are provided in the statute for ihlK ' purpose. These will not he discussed 1 1. ere for lack of space. The heaviest It Bponethlljty for the enforcement of I the law will fall upon the public offi cers.

The word "magis trate" as used in this act means any Justice of the peace, district Judge, county Judge, judge of a municipal court. Judge of a circuit court, and ah persons empowered to exercise the I powers of a Justice of the peace or a magistrate provided by the Oregon law. The district attorney is required to prosecute all offenders and If he (ails faithfully to perform this duty, he is guilty of an offense, and shall be fined or imprisoned in the discreti on of the court, and such conviction shall be a forfeiture of his office.

These were followed by rthe sandman and dream man and then came the messenger of Santa followed by the old gentle man himself. All came down tho chimney. The action was carried on in song and proved very enjoyable. On of the features of the second part was a whistling solo by the( north wind (Rev. Clevenger).

Even grown folks are anticipating the un usual entertainment and there prom ises to be a large crowd on the streets when the program begins.

The score at the end of the first period was 20 to s: for the Pendleton team and in the sec ond half the visitors annexed thirteen points while locals were making seven The Athena team, which Has been playing for several weeks, showed plainly a superiority of condition ami teamwork. Only the fight of the P H. S. boys and the wonderful basket shooting of Fowler kept the vlcb-ri at home. Before the game had been ten sec onds old. Grant, the big Athena cen ttr, had dropped the ball through the basket In a clever piece of team wurk. After that, however, the locals step ped Into the lead and were never headed.

His departure, however, does not mean the abandonment of the expedition. Other members of tho party aboard the Oscar will continuo the mission They do not know that Ford is returning to America. His ni ne a Is the reason for turning back. The burden of preparing the expedi tion, the taunts of the belligerents and neutrals and the coolness of his Norwegian reception combined to break his constitution, It Is believed. It Is assumed Ford wiu continue to pay tfTe expenses of the expedition The Oscar is scheduled to arrive at Stockholm this afternoon. Dean Marquis of Detroit accom panies Ford. Secretary Lochner re mains with the party as Ford's per sonal representative. It was report ed Ford left a two hundred and sev enty thousand dollar check at Ber gen to defray future expenses.
