Attorney O. C. Hoggs of this city
has put a puzzler up to-tbe attorney
general. Jf his contention sticks the
woods of Oregon will bo full of Diit
gencs carrying lanterns, especially
after dark. Attorney Boggs want
enlightenment, on tho provisions of
tho new automobilo law where it
says; ,"Kery moving thing except
railroad and htreet 'ears upon the
streets, rouds and highways of this
state moved by power -shall bo a e
hicle." Accordine to the local man this can
be interpreted to inentr not only au
tomobiles, carriages or bioyeles but
albu human beings for they are "a
mining thing, moved by muscular
power.'
A reply from the attorney general
is eagerlv awaited. For oery "e
hicle" shall carry a light.
