PAflE TWELVE THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1029 SHEEP KILLED BY BY CANINES ON SCIO FARMS Scio Two sheep were killed out right, a third was fatally injured and three others were terribly mut ilated by dogs at the Emil llulub farm adjoining Bclo. It Is believed the predatory dogs would have killed many more but for the interference of Harry Johnston, who hurrtrd to the scene at 3 o'clock in the morn ing and frightened the dogs away. On account of the heavy rain and dense darkness Johnston was unable to pet sight of the dogs. Johnston's sheep were attacked by do?s some time ago and one of the flock was torn to shreds when the dogs attacked the animal. One of Its hams was slit as with a knife and JohnMon had difficulty in sav ins the sheep. In the ca.se of the Holub f-heep a few nisht a;o John ston was aroused by the Yount; boys, who heard the commotion. The sheep were much excited when Johnston reached the place and the dogs apparently had made their escape on Johnston's approach. Persons who heard the do's state that there were at least two and perhaps more in the raid. With the approach of winter sheep-killinc dcs are reported very active in -some parts of the valley but the Johnston and Holub sheep are the mo.t recent depredations of the do"rs. Sheep owners are be lns forced to the alternatives of using their shotguns and rifles on the marauding does. Last year P. T. Thayer of Scio, got In a good shot on a mischievous dog and the animal has been very gun-shy and sheep-yhy ever since. Not long ago, according to report, a farmer near Junction City mowed down 17 dops that were killing sheep. Sheep men consider that dead do?s are good ones in such cases and many a valuable dog goes the route of the rifle, it Is stated. Under an Oregon statute farmers and others who lose sheep from depredations of dogs are reimbursed to some extent upon a showing satisfactory to county authorities who have jurisdiction in the premises.- ; ' (Continued from Page 5) awards going to Mrs. Charles 8.

UNTIL HEARTIEST WISHES to all our FRIENDS for a YULETIDE of CHEER and PLEASURE and the realization of a HAPPY NEW YEAR. CLAIMS STATES ARE STIFFENING RUM STATUTES New York (IP) Dry majorities are expanding and wet minorities are shrinking, Mrs. Lenna Lowe Yost, director of legislation for the Na tional Woman's Christian Temper ance Union said In her annual survey of the prohibition situation. Furthermore, Mrs. Yost reported, "the best test of America's deter mination to rid Itself of liquor Is the constantly increasing severity of state enacmients against the bootlegger." This year, she said, every state legislature except Wis consin that took action on prohibi- tion strengthened its laws. "The facts in the case of nation-, al and state legislatures are a re futation of the wet claim that the ; American people are opposed to prohibition and Its enforcement," Mrs. Yost continued. "Year after year the law makers, elected by popular ballot, have imposed great er and greater penalties on the bootlegger. This is evidence the lawmakers are going to the people for advice, rather than to the met ropolitan wet press, because instead of slackening enforcement nearly all the state have Increased the t severities of t heir original anti liquor laws. "Conspicuous Is the . state of 1 Michigan, whose legislature met In January of this year with several metropolitan newspapers far re moved from Michigan demanding that Michigan amend Its criminal code to get rid of the life for a pint law' under which a four-time bootlegger was automatically lm-1 prisoned for life under the pro-' visions of the habitual criminal act. The governor of Michigan an nounced to the world that the peo-' pie of the state, and not the Chi cago and New York newspapers were In charge. So without refer-1 ence to the wet press the 1929 Michigan legislature made Its state prohibition law the most severe in the world, providing for the first bootlegging offense a minimum sentence of one year imprisonment and a $2,000 fine with a maximum penalty for the same first offense of four years and the fine. Under the new Michigan law a four-time bootlegger may be sentenced to 34 '.4 years. A hip flask toter may get two years." . Passing Of Old House Recalls Mystery Shroud Grants Pass, Ore. (P The "Old Pine Needles place," a landmark of Grants Pass is belli torn down.

To succePd to the term of six years to which the late General Alvaro Obregon was elected, there are two candidates, Pascual Ortiz Rubio and Jo.se Vasconcelos. When General' Obrepon was as sassinated In July, Portes Gil, then secretary of the interior, was chosen for a provisional term of 14 months. Meanwhile elections for the regular term are scheduled for November of this year. Ortiz Itubio or Vasconelos, depending on who is chacen, will take office in Feb ruary. Ortiz Rubio is the nominee of the National Revolutionary party, founded by Calles in an eltort to weld together the strongest mem bers both of his own group and the Obreonista bloc.

GURFEW ON MUSIC LONDON PROSPECT London (LP) A curfew on music Is in prospect for London, and phonographs which operate after 10 p. m. are likely to be padlocked. The recent edict of the ParLs police banning phonograph muMa after 10 o'clock was responsible for the curfew crusade here. Aroused Londoners Immediately wrote to their new.-papers, denouncing the "fiends' who kept "Sonny Boy' working at hours when he should have been In bed. Others, more practical-minded, appealed to ScoN land Yard for protection. A victim of "You're the Creairi In My Coflee" carried h' com print to the Marylebone court, but the majistrae declared he was un a':l2 to art, although he denounced phonographs as "an abomination."1 A little muic goes a long, long way on the quiet air of the Eng lish capital.
