TO PRISON FOR WITCHCRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That Will Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.
It has heen a little more than 200
yfars since anyone was convicted of
witchcraft on this continent, nays the
Columbus Dispatch, and we Rupposed
that there wonld never ai(nlri be any
more convictions. But It serins that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana
dian court to the effect that a young
woinun over there has lately been sen
tenced to prison for "practicing witch
craft." for all the world like the ac
cusations thnt used to be filed against
people In this country.
The young woman In this case
claimed to be able to tell who commit
ted a certain theft In her neighborhood.
She said a farmer's onts had heen
stolen by a nmn and a boy; thnt they
drove n bay inn re, and proceeded west
ward nfter the robbery, and that they
would he found at a certain place,
about -10 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true, and ar
rested the pnrtles who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the Information was In no po
sition to know the facts she related
except through communing with "the
spirits," people began talking about
her being a witch, with the result that
an ancient statute was Invoked and
the girl prosecuted and sent to jail
for her pains in aiding the officers of
the law. If It were not all duly record
ed In the newspapers we could not be

"Rent Free" Houses.
At Llewelyn, Pa., there are CO empty
houses, which for years hnve stood un
tenanted, a veritable deserted village
In the beautiful valley of the West
Iiranch of Chester creek. Even the
war with Its demands, failed to repeo
ple the town. About a month ago some
of the houses were rented and a jitney
line wns established between the town
and Chester. Still there remained CO
bouses thnt were fnst going Into decay
by reason of not being occupied. The
owners conceived the Idea of having
the properties fixed up by giving them
rent free to workmen who would repair
them and take care of them. The only
stipulations made In selecting tenants
are that they be respectable and tlirlf
ty people who will take pride In main
taining and Improving the houses and
that they agree to make all repairs nt
their own expense.
Two of these mef.srrcr will be on tn?
ballot by virtue of the action of the
1919 legislature in referring tltem
to a vote of the people, one is up for
consideration because of the invoca
tion of the lVjferfindum oh an feet of
the 1919 lefirifdature, and sight of
the measures are being .initiated
through petitions filed prior to clos
ing time on the last day for filing.
Four measures for which petitions
have been circulated throughout the
state failed to qualify for a place on
the November ballot at the last min
imal though. Secretary of Sjtfe
Kozer stuck to his office until mid
night to give stragglers a chance to
file. These four measures are D.
E. Frost's attempt to prohibit the
sale, use or possession of cigarette
in Oregon; the minimum wage law
proposed by J. E. Medley of Port
land; the proposed amendment to
the fish and game laws, giving to
each county exclusive jurisdiction
over fish and game within its own
boundaries; and a measure which
would prohibit the use of seins,
traps or fish wheels in Oregon
streams.
The two referred measures are the
compulsory voting and registration
amendment involving the automatic
registration of all qualified voters
within the state and he privilege of
voting by mail in the event of inabil
ity to visit the polls, and a proposea
constitutional amendment regulating
legislative term from forty to sixty
days with restrictions around the In
troduction of bills the last forty days
in order to eliminate, the eleventh-
hour rusli experienced under the
present system. It would also in
crease the pay of legislators from $3
to $5 per day and Increase the mile-
iage from ten cents to fifteen cents
per mile.
The oleomargerine bill around
which the most bitter battle of the
1919 session was waged has been re
vived through the aid of the referen
dum invoked by the Associated In
dustries of Oregon. The measure
provides for the regulation and li
censing of sales of oleomargarine,
nut margarine and similar butter
substitutes.
The eight initiated mrtisures up
for consideration, their initiator and
their purport are as follows:
Single tax constitutional
leodore Koosevcl
Divided legislative session consti
tutional amendment, initiated by
State Taxpayers league, proposea a
session of two periods with a recess
between, the first period of forty
days for introduction and considers-:
tion of bill's and a sec6rtd period of
not to exceed ten days for final act
ion on measures, no amendments to
measures being permitted during
this session without consent of four
fifths of the members of both
"houses.
State market commission act, In
itiated by State Taxpayers league
creates state mrket commission with
creates state market commission and
$4500 per yar to ssist in the econ
omical distribution of products at
fair prices. The measure would also
require the market director to dis
seminate information as to mar
ket conditions, encourage! co-opera
tion among producers-, distributors
and consumers; mediate disputes
when requested; supervise markets
and co-operative associations, issue
labels in certain cases, inspect pro
duct in storage, warehouses and com
mon carriers. ,An appropriation of
50,000 for the administration of the
measure through 1922 is carried in
the measure.
The only local law initiated for
consideration at the November elec
tion is a herd law up in Umatilla
county forbidding stock running at
large except on government reserves.

dents of which 1C7 were fatal, were

Will motorcars In the future per
fume our streets with the scent of at
tnr of roses Instead of the evil-smell-lug
mixture which offends our nostrils
as they pass?
The question Is suggested by the
statement thnt a quarter of a million
gallons of motor spirit can be produced
In the Hyderabad stute of India by
distilling the flowers of the niowra
tree.
Mowra flowers are very rich in su
gar, and a ton otetie dried flowers
produces as much as 00 gallons of 95
p.e cent pure spirit. They have long
been In use for the preparation of a
unlive alcoholic. Hqum" but only a
small proportion of the trees available
is needed for this purpose.
Resourceful Prevaricator.
A Lancashire man, who was afraid
of bis wife, arranged to go to the races
with some friends, and explained to
her that he was going fishing. On his
way he called at a fish shop and asked
the proprietor to send some fish home.
Fish was very scarce that day, and n
lot of cods' heads were delivered. When
hubby returned home, nfter an enjoy
uble time, he said to bis wife:
"Well, lass, did you get the fish I
sent you?"
"I got a lot of cods' heads," was her
reply.
"Quite right," was the retort. "You
never saw such fish In your life as we
hnd to tackle today. Before you could
land 'em, you had to pull their bloom
ing heads off!" London Answers.
