MYSTERY ABOUT OAS BILL
PRESENTED AT MEETING
Meter Was on Job Three Months Al
though Nothing Was Used So Far
as Known by Board.
But three bids were received by the
clerk of the school board for fire-escape
contracts, and these were opened at the
the regular meeting of the directors lusi
night. Thofe bidding were: East Port
land Wire and Iron Works, escapes for
four schools, $2407; Portland Wire and
Iron Works, escape and stand-pipes for
ton schools, 12450, and the Columbia
Wire and Iron Works, escapes for four
schools, $2(180. Tho contract was let

tho work of erecting tho firo escapes
will begin as soon as possible.

Norway white, pine extract, rich in

pine elements.
No other preparation will do the work

strained honey can be used instead of

Thousands of housewives In the United

often been imitated, hut the old success

Its low cost and nuick results have made
it immensely popular.

has been facing the Salem school board,
is solved and the orders of the city
council to the effect the schools shall
be equipped with the escapes will be
obeyed within a comparatively short
time.
The local iron company was asked
to submit a bid, but tho management
informed the board that thny were
crowded with work at present and could
not see their way clear to consider the
matter: ' ,
Big Gas BUI.
Ever on the job, Director Andy Lee
last night put a quietus on a bill for
$9.28 which tho Portland Railway, Light
& Power Co. claimed was due lor gas
used during the three vacation months
in the high school. According to Prin
cipal Kiljfitrick, the meters in the high
school wero idle during the three months
sot forth in the respective bills submit
ted to the board and no gas was used
during that period.
Director Leo moved that the bills be
taken back to the company for-"repairs"
and that if thoy are beyond ro
pair, tho motors in tho high school
surely bo looked after. Director Lafky
will attend to tho matter and reort at
the next regular meeting.
Among other bills brought up for con
sideration were a few little ones con
tracted without a requisition. Director
Dames moved to disallow these bill,
saying thnt it was contrary to law for
the board or othor officers of the
schools to contract bills without firBt
making a requisition and that he would
voto on on any proposition of the kind..;
Tho bills wero laid on tho table and
Superintendent Kuntz was directed to
make out orders for tho articles pur
chased. For years tho matter of permitting
tho different schools in the city to con
tract for nows and roligious publications
was brought up again Inst night in the
form of a roquost presontod by the high
school librarian who desired to sub
scribe for tho London Time3 and got
tho Christian Scionco Monitor free.
This is a proposition that has been
fought to a successful finish by direc
tors on tho prosent board and many be
fore them. When the mattor of plac
ing papers In the schools came up here
tofore, the board turned it down flatly
on tho grounds thnt if ono or two pa
pers wero permittod in tho institutions,
it would prejudice other pnpers and con
sequently there would bo trouble raised.
Director Miles was in favor of allow
ing tho roligious publications in the
high school library, but tho remainder
of the board was not, and a motion of
Director Lafky to allow publications in
tho library nt tho publisher's own ex
pense placed the matter on tho table.

Look, Mother! If Tongue Is Coated,
Cleanse Little Bowels With "Cal
ifornia Syrup of Figs."
Children love this "fruit laxative,"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is,
they become tightly- clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour,
then ;'our little one becomes cross, half
sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act
naturally, breath is bad, Bystem full of
cold, has sore throat, stomache-ache or
dianloia. Listen, Motherl See if
tnuguo is coated, then give a teaspoon
ful of "California Syrup of Figs," and
in n few hours all . the constipated
win-to. sour bile undigested food passes
out of the system, and you have a well,
plnyful child again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it never
fails to act on the stomach, liver and
bowols.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all Bgos and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here. Got the genuine,
made by "California Fig Syrup Com
pany." Refuse any other kind with
contempt.

TRUE TEMPERANCE
A Lesson for the Churches from Maine
What are tome of the lesions of the recent Maine
election?
Well, to begin with, it ha been a lesson to the
church. The church has, I think, been taught in this
campaign that TEMPERANCE in all things, SPEECH
INCLUDED, is a virtue to be courted. The church has,
I think, come to the conclusion that if it expects to see
more of the common people attending upon divine wor
ship, and taking into their higher natures the spirit and
teachings of the Nazarene, it must itself sit again at His
feet and learn anew the kindergarten story of charity
and tolerance. Maine's repudiation of constitutional pro
hibition emphasizes another truism. TEMPERANCE IS
THE SINCERE DESIRE OF ALL GOOD CITIZENS',
MEN CAN BE LED, BUT SELDOM DRIVEN.

WHAT MAINE CITIES DID
There are in Maine about 20 cities, most of them under
20,000 population. Of these 20 cities 19 voted for the re
peal of the prohibition law and the remaining one gave a
majority of 96 in favor of retaining the law.
The total number of votes cast in the cities was 41,623, of
which
27,053 was in favor of repeal, 14,570 against.
Majority for repeal was therefore 12,483.
Do not the voters of Salem consider this an unanswerable
argument against adopting prohibition in Salem, when 20
cities in Maine, practically every city in the state, after SIX
TY YEARS of trial, turn prohibition down by an almost
2 to 1 vote.
Here is a list of some of Maine's cities' vote:
For Maj. for
Repeal Against Repeal
Portland 6,677 4,221 2,456
Lewiston 3,280 809 2,472
Bangor 3,052 919 2,133
Biddleford 1,815 427 1,388
Auburn (adjoining Lewiston).. 1,382 1,238 144
Augusta 1,293 941 352
We have given the above statements and figures for the
benefit of the voters of Salem who are sincerely and con
scientiously seeking for tho truth. These figures are taken
from the records of Maine's election, and are absolutely the
facts in the case. Any one questioning the returns from
Maine at the last election is simply desirous of misleading
the voters of Salem.
For retention 70,783. Against retention 23,811.
Majority in favor of Prohibition 46,972,
After the lapse of 27 years of attempting to enforce pro
hibition, the voters of Maine registered the following ver
dict at the election held in 1911.
Majority in favor of Prohibition 758.
It i also a matter of common knowledge that every boot
legger, owners of blind pins and speakeasies, supported the
prohibition cause, and made it possible to gain even this
meagre majority.

SALEM WELFARE LEAGUE
Its purpose is to give to the voters of Salem

HISTORYcf PROHIBITION
IN OREGON
At an Election Held in 1908 Twenty-Three Counties Voted
for Prohibition Under the Local Option Law.
At the election held in 1910 thirteen ( 13) of the "dry" counties
voted to return to the license system. This election was held
under the same local option law under which they had at the
previous electron voted "dry" The Home Rule amendment
had nothing to do with the election which voted these counties
into the wet column. This amendment was not then in
force, and only became a law as a result of the statewide
vote cast at that electron. It became effective after he elec
tion, and after the vote thereon had been approved by the
governor. The county unit still applied at the 1910 election
and these counties voted wet as a whole, after two years' ex
