DAYS GONE BY BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian April 20, 1916 In an effort to check the sale of alcohol in Pendleton, the city council last evening passed a motion instructing the police to bring in a weekly report of all of the purchasers of alcohol, the amount purchased and from whom purchased. This information is to be taken from the register kept by the druggists and the motion, as passed, contemplates the publication of the report. Councilman Penland of the police committee reported WKDW VLQFH WKH ¿UVW RI 0DUFK WKHUH KDG EHHQ 31 arrests for drunkenness and that, in all but three cases, the intoxication had been caused by alcohol.
