UNPAID BILLS
. Dallaa, Or., Dec. 24. A prohibl
tion officer who put in some time
in this VJCinty and who left
trail of bad uc counts behind him
when bo moved on a fow weeks

rapid pace In other parts of the
state, according to information re
ceived by E. K. Ptasecltti who has
been working in behalf of local
people who lost accounts.
The man is understood to have
been arrested a few days ago in
Marshfleld, where his car was
found to have liquor in it. He post
ed ?25u buil to appear, but Jumped
the bail, lie was found to have re
appeared In Salem a couple of days
ago where bis children are living
but it is not known if he-tarried
lung there.
The man. who was formerly
connected with late prohibition
enforcement work, is thougnt to
be a free lance low. His knowl
edge of methods in vogue has been

In the event that the well had not
been sunk by the stipulated time
the money was to bo distributed

Mr. Macleay sot forth In his com

he had spent considerable money
in preparation for them, he em

The matter o ftoll charges Is the
subject of considerable criticism
in and around Woodburn. A charge
is made foe a call to Hubbard but
not to Aurora, which Is farther
north than Hubbard. A call destin
ed for a subscriber near Monitor,
six miles cast, must be relayed
through Salem. Other calls in
towns and communities within a
comparatively few miles from
Woodburn must be relayed thru
Newberg, Portland and Oregon

and a new basis of costs for long

Invitation to the state tuberculo
sis association to send a part time
nurse to the county again this

munities that had not ben visited.
H. B'. Black of tho Dallas cham

public market which will probably
not he attempted uutll spring. Mr.
Black advised a canvass ot the
membership of member organiza

prepared by a committee of the
federation was discussed briefly.
It was made up from an examina
tion of commercial fields in the
