A strict prohibition on punch

effective February 1. lrjlG. according
to Mayor-elect J. A. Hastes, who met
Informally last week with councll-men-elect
and holdover members of
the present council. This decision
was reached upon consideration of
some of tho policies to be adopted by
the new administration during the
ensuing year.
Helleving that the use of punch,
boards Is a form of gambling, the new
administration, following tho lead of
District Attorney Wlllard Wlrtz, hns
Issued the statement that this form
of lottery must bo Btopped. and the
time limit set for their existence Is
February 1, which will glve places of

punch boards now on hand.
The council was of tho unanimous
opinion that the use of bingoes, coins
nnd markers In card games Is also n
form of gambling nnd that ns they
serve only ns a subterfuge they also
have come under the bnn.
A decision wns also reached upon,
tho enforcement of the state wide

The heavy Increase In both paise

has Justltled the Oregon Trunk Rail
road In resuming dally passenger

tho present dally mixed train ser
vice. The now arrangement will be

There hns been n marked and

cording to J. II. Corbott, local agent,
and with the outlook for the coming
ear moro promising than It has been
for some tlmo pnHt, the Oregon Trunk
believes that It Is Justified In giving
local trnlllc more efficient trnln ser
vice than It has had for the last seven
mouths when mixed trnln servico was
put on the read. It Is also felt that
offering straight passenger nud
