No. 77.
IT IS UNLAWFUL
TO CARRY LIQUOR
Ordinance Makes Misdemeanor
of Carrying Booze Except
in Consignment Package.
CITY COUNCIL PASSED
DRASTIC MEASURE
Idea Is to Stop Supposed Hip
Pocket Blindpigging
Traffic
If a person is walking down
a street in Albany hereafter,
carrying or hauling' intoxieat
ing liquor, other than in the package
in which it is shipped into the city,
a local peace officer has the right to
intercept them, search their person or
package, and if found guilty, they
will be taken before the police judge,
where a misdemeanor charge can be
filed against them .
Upon conviction they arc subject
to a line of not less than 510 nor more
than S100, or imprisonment in the citv
jail not less than 5 days nor more than
50. Officers and court officials are
instructed to act reasonable in the
matter, that is, an officer should not
intercept a person unless he has rea
sonable suspicion of him and the
courts are given the power to act with
reasonahle discretion in such cases.
All of this according to an ordi
nance passed by the city council last
night which in part reads as lollows
An ordinance declaring it unlawful
for any person to carry or have any
intoxicating liquor through the streets
of the city except in the package in
which such liquors are shipped into
the city and providing a penalty there
for. ,
Any person who shall carry or have
such goods carried through the streets
shall he deemed guilty of a miscle
, meanor.
When an officer has reasonable
grounds to believe that a person is
carrying liquor in the city other than
in its consignment form, he shall
have power to search said person or
things carried by such person. If
guilty as stipulated above and a com
plaint filed against such person by
said otticcr.
Any person convirted according to
the provisions of this ordinance shall
be fined not less than S10 nor more
than Sin) or receive an imprisonment
of not less than 5 nor more than 50
days.
When the ordinance was read the
first time Councilman Lyons, in an
address that it was preposterous. This
evoked considerable discussion.
It was cited that at the present time
the city is fairly rid of the bootleg
gin traffic but that frequently the of
ficers have intercepted parties who
have been convicted of blindpigging,
carrying quantities of booze on their
person. In each instance they have
asserted that the intoxicants were fo"
their own' personal use but the police
have reasonable reasonsto believetjiat
Hie bootlegging traffic is being car
ried on in this manner. It was assert
ed on the floor of the council cham
ber, by Councilman Hulbert that
"booze" is being brought in this fash
ion from across the river and ped
dled from hip pockets and overcoi.ts.
"Now that we have eliminated the
hootletrging traffic to a -great extent,"
said Mr. Hulbert. "we have got to
have some wav to get at this new ob
stacle and this is the only course I
can see. I am ure all of our city
peace officers will act with reason in
such matters."
Heavy Weights Return.
Wearing a splendid hue of tan and
apparently weighing much more than
they did. Grant Pirtlc and Charles
Thrasher returned this noon from a
10 days outing above Toledo. They
reported a most enjoyable time and
say they had unusual good luck with
their flys. When they left here, Mr.
Pirtlf weighed 390 and Mr. Thrasher

ter than that now.

PEOPLE OF LEBANON
COMPLIMENT CHAUTAUQUA
Local Association Will Rival
Any on Coast Says Editor
of Local Paper.
The people of I. inn county have
reason to he proud of the tact that Al
hany has an association that is build
ing up the Chautauqua that in the near
tuntre win rival tiny on the coast.
The grounds, which at.' very acccs
sehlc, have groat natural scenery, and
the sanitary conditions are first class.
This year the management extend
ed tV, c season to two weeks without
advancing the price of season tickets,
and while there .ver-j more lents than
ever before, and the attendance was
large, there was a small deficit at the
close of the season. However, this
association carries a far less debt
than other like associations, and no
doubt next year there wi'i be a sur
plus. The meetings on Sun lav were
largely attended, hundreds of va'lcy
l-coplc making it day for reunion."
The lecture Siiik1.iv aitcruo-in by
Rev. Matt Hughes -f Pasaden i, Calif!,
was a masterly effort and held the
close attention of 'he vast crowd that
filled the auditorium. The Sunday
school parade given by 200 members
of the Sunday schools a ii-a.ited much
attention. The closing service was
held in the evening and Monday wit
nessed the departure of hundred; of
campers who had enioyid a Two

NOTIFY OF BLASTING
Oregon Electric Company Asks
This in the Interest of
Public Service.
WAS REQUESTED BECAUSE
OF RECENT ACCIDENT
Last Saturday As Result of
Blast Railroad Was Com
pletely Tied Up.
Superintendent A. J. Davidson of
the Oregon Electric railway has sent
out a general notice in the interests
of public service and the accommoda
tion of the traveling public, to the ef
fect that parties who desire to blast
near the right of-way of the road
would first take the trouble to notify
the railway officials through the
agents at any of the stations. In ad
vance ot such work the proper pre
caution will be promptly taken to
sateguard the transmission lines in
case of accidental disruption. If this
is done, he savs the line crews would
be on hand so that it in the event of
any unlocked for break, repairs would
be made with the least possible delay
to train service.
Last Saturday the long disruption.
amounting to nearly four hours com
plete tie-up between Wilsonville and
Salem and two hours between Wilson
ville and Portland, was due to mis-
llclgiilent of one Chris Christhole pow
der man for a clearing gang at Wal
lace. Christ wanted to get the heft
nf a solid fir stump some eight feet in
diameter, and having failed in previous
attempts to dislodge it, set about
thirty sticks of dynamite and touched
it oil. The stump broke into hund
reds of fragments when the blast went
off. and a whirling piece of snag w.y.t
through the 60.000 volt of high ten
sion lines, completely paralyzing the
service. Xone of the sub stations
could i'tmiediately tell where the trou
ble was. Crews on gasoline speeders
and in automobiles were started out
to fined where the "short" was, but
two hours elapsed before the location
was ascertained.

than an hour explaining the ex-
ceptional features of the big No.

San Francisco to Portland ill six-
ty one hours and five minutes.
They left San Francisco at

a truck of this character between S
San Francisco and Portland.
They also came within three
hours of the touring car record.
s "We followed the Pacific High-
way," said Mr. McGee to a
Democrat representative this
morning." and had a delightful
trip. We had no serious tire
trouble and no trouble at all with
the engine. We found the roads
J from San Francisco to the Ore-
gon line in excellent shape but
as soon as we reached Oregon
soil the roads appeared to be
poorly built. Xot until we reach-
ed Eugene did they seem to im-
prove and from that point to
Portland were in fairly good
.v shanc.
'J The men are now on their
C'Avav back to C.iHfornia and are
taking their time on the return
trip.

FAMILY LOST EVERYTHING IN
DISASTROUS SHERIDAN FIRE
Mrs. T. L. Bockes Writes Piti
ful Letter to Her Mother
Mrs. F. D. Stevens.
That they lost everything in the
'Sheridan fire, was the information
conveyed in a letter received yester
day by Mrs. F. D. Stevens from her
daughter, Mrs. T. L. iJockcs.
"Mother, we lost everything ex
cept what we have on our backs," says
the letter, "you have no idea what an
awful fire it was. We slrivcd in vain
to save a little something but were
unsuccessful. I had $35 in a purse al
home but did not get there in time to
secure it. I estimate our loss at over
$1000 with $500 insurance and I don't
believe we will get but half of that,
as I understand the insurance com
pany is swamped."
Mrs. Bockes was the proprietress of
a millinery store, which with its com
plete stock was totally destroyed by
fire. Likewise their home was swept
away by the flames. Mr. Bockes was
an employee of a livery stable, which
was destroyed. Mrs. Bockes states
in her letter that there is nothing left
there for them to do.
Mrs. Stevens stated that she had
written them a letter to come here
and it is expected that they will arrive
either today or tomorrow with their
two children to make their home here
