The state was tied with New Hampshire for seventh place for the larger num ber of arrests—508 during a fiscal year, Alexander showed. Arrests did not center in heavi ly populated areas as might be expected, the state tabulation dis closed. Multnomah county was fifth in total arrests while Kla math had 234 for the greatest number. Coos county also was among the .eaders with 178 as was Umatilla with 183 and Lane with 170. This probably was due to the topographical condi tion of these counties, Klamath being a lumber and dairy section of the state, Coos a seacoast county where liquor cargoes might be landed and Umatilla be ing in the open range and wheat lands. Fewer arrests were made in Curry and Jefferson counties which had seven and Wheeler nine. More stills were seized in Multnomah county while 24 auto mobiles, the highest number, were confiscated in Jackson county. Commensurate with the number of arrests, heaviest fines were assessed in Klamath county where violators paid $34,650. A total of 28,230 gallons of liquor was destroyed in all parts of the state. HIGHWAY WORK IS GIVEN UNEMPLOYED Following out the program of the state labor comission, thirty men were put to work on the lower Columbia river highway Dr. Brower Monday between Warren and Scappoose. The men were set to work clearing the right of way and leveling up the shoulders on the road. These men were given the work after county officials had registered those that most needed employment. There were more than 100 men registered over the county who were clas sified as to the urgency of their needs. The First class were those set to work Monday. » It was planned to start an ad ditional thirty men at the same kind of work New Year’s day. These thirty men will form an- additional shift being given three days work a week. The thirty men who were to start yesterday came from Rainier and vicinity. —St. Helens Mist Dance EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT I. O. O. F. HALL Music by Spike Cameron’s Orchestra Oregon-American Lumber Co.

COLUMBIA COUNTY IN THE SENATE A news article in a St. Helens newspaper last week im plies that Joe Dunne urged at the meeting of the county chambers of commerce December 29 that Columbia county remain in the present senatorial district with Multnomah and Clackamas counties, and that a majority of the aud ience so voted because of his stand. As a matter of fact Mr. Dunne explicitly pledged himself to work for any re apportionment that would be of advantage to the county, and invited frank opinion as to what the county prefers. It is safe to assume that the county wants to be in a senatorial district of its own. However, in view of growth of population in other counties, it is doubtful if the legisla ture would authorize such a reapportionment, and Mr. Dunne, who is in a position to know, declares it virtually imposible. The question, then, is what is next best. 5,080.00 33,917.04 TOTAL ........................................................................ $297,181.50 State of Oregon, County of Columbia, ss: I, J.
