E DRY BILL
I
SAI.KM. Or., Jan. 17. The lonp;
expeeted "bone dry" bill ban mucin
its appearance in the house. It is n
long; and involved looking instrument,
to luck at; but according to Dr. An
tlerson, who is its house father, it i
not hard to understand.
The bill does not contain the
"search, and seizure" clause, which
lias been so much talked of ilurinc
the last few months, and the law in
that regard will remain as it is, un
less the hill is changed during its
course through 'lie two houses.
It is made unlawful, however, for
any person not a common carrier to
transport liipior into the state either
for personal use or for the use of any
other person. This will stop the
practice which has grown up of peo
ple making trips by automobile or
otherwise and returning with their
suitcases full of liquor.
Some Exceptions Made.
Common carriers are prohibited
from transjM)rtintr licpipi, except un
der license and permit from the dis
trict Attorney, who is ' permitted to
make certain exceptions as to retail
wholesale druggists for medicinal
scientific, manufacturing and sacra
mental purposes.
Liquor may bo used for medicinal
purposes upon the written proscrip
tion of. a physician, while tho user is
also required to sign an affidavit to
the effect that it is to, be. used for
medicinal purposes only.
Drunkenness is also made a misde
meanor with ji fine ranging from $10
to $100, or imprisonment p to 00
days, or both as n penalty for convic
tion.
Carries KmerBdicy Clause.
Tlie bill carries an emergency
clause, and if passed with it attached
will become .immediately effective
upon the governor's signature.
Hospitals,, public .infirmaries, la.
bornfories, medical colleges, licensed
and practicing physicians, licensed
and practicing dentists,' pharmacists
Olid wholesale druggists may handle
ethyl alcohol under permits granted
by the district attorneys of the re
spective. . counties. Ethyl alcohol
may be sold tit. retail only upon a li
censed and " practicing . physician's
prescription, and .no' person is per
mitted to buy more than two quarts
in any four successive weeks. The
ailment and the tinme and address of
the patient must be included iu the
prescription. Doctors may prescribe
intoxicating liquors to their patients,
but they are held liable, and the il
legal prescribing can be construed as
a sale. , .
Milking of Wines lcnultted.
Vinegar, unfennonted wines and
wines for sacramental purposes may
be made in the state, and the whole
salers who supply manufacturing con
cerns of flavoring extracts and sim
ilar commodities may continue to
supply ethyl alcohol, but under the
same restrictions Hint exist in the
original bill. Ethyl alcohol may also
be sold under certain restrictious for
mechanical und scientific purposes.
One of tlie interesting side lights,
is its provision making it unlawful for
a person to become intoxicated on
anv highway, street or public place
or in the person's own home or the
home of friends, which sounds the
death knell for so many of the parties
which have been highly popular since
the state went dry. The provision
carries with it a penalty of a fine of
not less than $10 nnd no more than
$100 and a jail sentence of not more
than fifty days
I'ETROORAD, Jan. 17. A dram
atic clash between M. J'rntopopoff,

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
10
AT
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 17. An
nouncement that the Southern Pa-
lflc company have adopted tho plan
of building all Its wooden freight
cars such as box and flat cars at Its
own shops and will make them from
umber produced along Its lines, was
made yesterday by President Wil
liam Sproulo, who returned from
Xcw York and other eastern nitles.
Favor Homo Industry.
"The plan," said 'Mr. Sproule, "is
in furtherance of our policy to favor
homo Industry and will provide a
good market for a great deal of west
ern lumber. The construction will
be douo principally at our Sacramen
to shops. Wo plan to build as soon
as. possible 2000 box, 450 stock and
00 flat cars, these added to the 2700
new refrigerator cars Just ordered by
the Pacific Fruit Express compauy
of which about 1000 will bo built
In California and will Rive us 0050
now freight cars for the coming sea
son, enough to ward off the hard
ships through shortage of railroad
equipment experienced this season
provided wo can get our cars return
ed to us after they are unloaded nt
destinations. Tho Southern Pacific
as you know, Is half owner of the
Pacific Express." Mr. Sproule said
that tho prosperity of the cast and
middle west Is not merely coming
here, but Is already hero. Tho pros
perity we have here, he said, is dif
ferent In nature from the east, but It
is just as positive. Our mineral in
dustries arc very prosperous. The In
creased wealth of the east has pro
duced a crop of consumers who are
paying good prices for wheat, barley,
fruit vegetables and lumber that wo
have to offer. Never before has there
been such a vast multitude of people
who are buyers of. luxuries. The
spending' power -of - the east has
holped- us, and is helping us, for we
are the sellers, they are tho buyers.
' Kamius lnciva.se.
'The earnings of the Southern Pa
cific company which have Improved
along with other business are giving
us an opportunity to spend much
money for betterments upon our
property while there are no new ex
tensions contemplated, the shop em
ployes are working full force at full
time and tho maintenance of way
crews are also busy. Wo are making
heavy expenditures in laying new
rails, re-ballasting tracks, widening
tunnels for greater freight clear
ances, and other similar improve
ments. All this moans employment
of larger forces. It means enlarged
payrolls for our men, and enlarge
ment of payrolls means Increased cir
culation of money for the communi
ties we serve.
"I look forward to a continuance of
the country's prosperity for some
time to come, peace or no peace. The
wave of prosperity that has rosulted
in part from improved domestic con
ditions and in part from the Euro
pean wrr l:as gained too much mo
mentum to bo easily stopped and
even after tho declaration of poace
its forward movement will proceed
for a considerable length without in
terruption. .
To Help tho WcM.
"As I'M' as the Southern Pacifl'
is concerned it is doing Its share as
the largest Institution in the west to
contribute to prosperity out here. Its
principal contributions are added
employment in Increased payrolls,
larger home industry purchases and
new car building at home. These are
all In conjunction with our efforts to
keep our service up to the highest
standard."
