OFFERS
$1000 FOR BEER
E
NYSSA DEALERS CAN SELL BEER
TO THIRSTY
PEOPLE OF
TWO
STATES ON APRIL 7th.
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repealed dry statutes at the November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. Davis and Miss Dor­
othea B. Morfltt of Nyssa were united
in marriage Saturday afternoon at 3
o’clock by the Rev. C. F. Trimble at
the Christian church parsonage In
Baker.
The young couple were ac­
companied
by
Miss Bernice Dunn,
teacher of Owyhee school, and Rob­
ert S. Morfitt, brother of the bride.
Mr. Davis is a government engineer
at Snlvely camp on the Owyhee pro­
ject. He is another of several young
men who have brought their brides
to Snlvely. Foster Towle, government
engineer in charge, calls It a honey­
moon camp.
