S ubscription R ates One year Six months - - - - - $1.00 .50 Thursday, January 4, 1917 With the present growth of the prohibition movement in this and other states, the demand for non intoxicating beverages is growing by leaps and bounds. This is proving a boon to the grower of loganberries and other fruits suitable for manufacture into drinks and this community with its cannery, should profit by the continued culture of these small fruits, as a steady market is guaranteed for years with good contract prices being offered by the cannerymen. Circuit Judge J. U. Campbell of Oregon City last week handed a hard jolt to an offender o f the prohibition laws, when Ju.ius Wilbur, proprietor of the Friars’ Club of Milwaukie, was convicted of booze selling and sentenced to six months in the county jail and a fine of $300. While Wilbur’s attorneys are trying to clear their client on some legal technicality, it is like ly said client will have plenty of time to meditate on the errors of his ways before his six months are up. _____ _ Editor Brodie of Oregon City, recently appointed a member of the State Prison Board, returned last week from an extended east ern trip, where he investigated the operation of penitentiaries in other states. While in Toledo, Mr. Brodie carried on his investigations in an effect to determine the causes leading up to the downfall of the unfortunates, who later become inmates of the peniteniaries, and in a postal received by ye editor, stated that his investigation were more than interesting. If as Editor Brodie states that “ idleness is the chief evil in pris on management’ ’ there would be little danger of fault finding with any penitentiary that E. E. had charge of. for the word idle ness is not in his vocabulary. Some complaint has been pres ented lately among the Estaeada merchants against certain farm ers, who e i t h e r unknowingly or intentionally were selling eggs supposedly fresh, which had been preserved in water-glass or a lime solution. As the selling of such treated eggs is contrary to the pure-food regulations, all parties are warn ed against such practice. And now we learn that the Oregon City Woolen Mills, a r e contemplating doubling the size of their plant and as the Hawley Pulp & Paper Compamy a r e building new additions every few months, the future prosperity of Oregon City is assured. The employees and pay rolls from those two plants alone, are sufficient to make a good sized city so why shouldn’ t Estaeada land j another infant industry, to blend its morning whistle with that of the cannery and the soon-to-be- we-hope cheese factory? Estaeada has the resources that attract industries, namely water, electric power and transportation but it lacks a little bit in “ pep” . We Thank You Here is an easy problem If a committee of five from the “ Live Wires” can go before the County Court and obtain a $3000. road appropriation, how much can a committee of eight from the Farmers & Merchants’ Cl u b obtain? Why- $4800. of course. X f.

Githens Star Boarder Ousted John Githens of Currinsville, who is always telling stories on himself, is this week telling one, with his wife as the victim. According to John, Mrs. Gith ens, with her usual open-hearted generosity, agreed to furnish board and lodging for a couple of days to a tramp wood-splitter, who told a hard luck story one day re cently. The tramp, as he turned out to be, feasted, fed, glutted and generally so stuffed his stomach with the good things on the Gith ens’ table, that he was found later in a serious condition, due to overloading with an unlimited amount of pork spare-ribs and other tempting meats, a stomach ordinarily used to meager fare. John finally nursed their guest back to good health, then handed him half a dollar and a kick in the right place and last seen, the pseudo wood-splitter was hitting the tracks for Portland.
