Before President Roosevelt signed the bill which assures 3.2 per cent beer and wine on April 7 Mayor E. M. Blodgett received a $1000 offer for an exclusive right to sell the brew in Nyssa. The offer came from a Boise man who might have been counting on some of the business which will probably come from across the border, Idaho retaining state bone-dry laws. Mr. Blodgett stated today that he will look through the ordinance book at once to ascertain whether or not an ordinance has been passed which will effect the local sale of the new brew. “ If the 3.2 per cent beer Is not an Intoxicant, I doubt If there Is any or dinance on the city books which will effect It.” he declared. Many towns in Oregon have already announced that business houses will sell beer without restriction from city laws. Few States Can Sell Oregon is one of 14 states which can sell the new beverages, voters having repealed dry statutes at the November election. The beer cannot be sold In Idaho and Washington. A tax of $5 will be made on each barrel of 31 gallons, also federal license fee of $1000 annually will be required of breweries. $50 from each wholesaler and $20 from every retailer. Although some say the new beer will be very mild, 3.2 per cent com pares with the beer of by-gone days which ranged from 2.93 to 3.62 per cent in most cases. ANOTHER SNIVELY ENGINEER WED Raymond T.
