en last Saturday evening in honor of

A lively discussion was started at

ing when some one made a motion to
disband after the next meeting under
certain circumstances.
Baker Bros, have been doing line
work for the Lewlsburg Mutual Tele
phone company. This company is re
building parts of the telephone line
east of Oak Ridge. . They are experi
menting witn a composite pole. Tne
base is split eedar eight feet long to

es square and sixteen feet long, making
a pole about twenty feet long.
Rev, Valentine will deliver a sermon

Jday morning at about 11:00 o'clock, or
J immediately titer the Sunday school.
His Affidavit Implicates Von
1 Brincken, If It Can Be
. Believed
San Francisco, Dev. 16. Charges that
a society of Germans, working as long
shoremen were prepared to plant bombs
on outgoing ships at this port were
made as part of an affidavit secured
from "Count" Von Koolborgen, con
fessed "double crosser," who claims for
a time to have had employment with the
German consulate.
This portion of his affidavit came to
light today and claimed to reveal oper
ations, under the direction of Baron Von
Brincken, alleged German bomb plot
ter. That German Consul Bopp was in
on Koolbergen's bomb construction
work was still another assertion.
The affidavit told of mixing salad oil
and a cleaner in a thermos bottle with
a negative fuse and a time clock ar
rangement, and presenting it to the Ger
man consulate. The arrangement, ac
cording to Koolbergen now held at Cal
gary, Alberta, for alleged forgery, was
that he should make these bombs for
the German society to smuggle aboard
ships with 'which they worked as long
shoremen. One of the bombs, he claimed, was to
be shipped to New York.
Later, however, the German consulate,
according to Koolbergen, became sus
picious and was more cautious in its al
leged operations than it previously had
been.
Still another part of his work, he
claims, was to blast Canadian railway
tunnels. In this, as in the bomb case,
he claims to have "framed" on the
consulate.
Ho names a man called Zammil as
having a complete luboratory iu this
city for construction of explosive ma
terial. Zammil, Koolbergen says he was
informed by Von Brincken, was the man
who blew up a powder plant in this
vicinity with the loss of two lives.
Would Have the State
Print School Books
As the present contracts for the
school books used In Oregon will expire
in jtfiy, state printer Arthur W. Law-
rence, suggested at the meeting of the
commercial club last evening, that ef
forts be made to bring about legislh-
tion by which, after 1!)1!), the school
books used in the state should be print
ed at the state printing plant in Salem.
According to Mr. Lawrence, the plant
here was large enough to print the
books, and that Ty so doing, a saving
of 50 per cent could be made to the
state. Another point of special inter
est to Salem, was that the printing of
text books would add largely to the
payroll.. At present this amounts to
about $1,200 a month, but during the
sessions of the legislature, it is from
$:i,500 to $4,000 a month.
Should the books be printed in Salem,
tile payroll would amount to $5,(100 dur
ing the entire year. . In 1914, Oregon
paid $160,000 for its school books, all
published in the east, and only 10 per
cent of this was left in Oregon. Mr.
Lawrence suggested that with the print
ing of the books, horo, only Oregon
material would be used, as has been the
custom in the state printing plant.
California was cited as a state pub
lishing its own school books, saving the
state yearly $220,000.
The great saving to the pcoplo of the
state, according to Mr. Lawrence, would
be in the retail price of school books,
as this would be reduced fully half.
If this proposition could bo passed at
the next legislature, it would give the
plant here ample time to Tc-adjust it
self, and time also to make contracts
with publishers, of text books on the
royalty plan. It was suggested that
this would also encourage Oregon teach
ers to produce text books, as under the
present conditions, they have but little
chance of having their work accepted
by tho eastern publishers. '
The entire matter was referred to the
Industrial department of tho club.
Postmaster Huckestein spoke briefly in
favor of tho plan and tho general feel
ing among the club mombers is that
this text book problem should be
brought before the next legislature, in
order to givo time for the chango in
1919.
. HIGH SCHMLNOTES

In Time of Peace
Prepare For War
Now is the time to lay In a good
supply .or next year, as the druggists
of Salem will not handle whiskey un
der any circumstances. A physician's
certificate or prescription will do no
good. According to the opinions ex
pressed by almost all the druggists,
mere win not De any such thing as
whisky- for sale, that is, not in the
drug stores.
As far as the. nlo of alcohol is con
cerned, the druggits are somewhat un
decided, since Attorney General Brown
made the statement that druggists sell
alcohol at their peril. If they decide
to continue the snle, it can be had only
on on affidavit from tho buyer, that it
is. for medicinal purposes and that said
buyer is not a habitual drunkard. The
druggist lan Bwear the purchaser, but
if the purchaser drinks the alcohol,
gets on a high lonseome and does a lot
of damage, the druggist will pay, or at
least is liable
As far as physicians are affected, a
prescription for whisky will do no good
as there will be none "to be sold, and
tho drupgist' can legally swear the pur
chaser of alcohol. Consequently, the
doctor will not cut any figure as far
as alcohol and whisky are concerned
after tho first of the year.
Minnesota Mystery
Was Rotten Boilers
Sun Francisco, Dec. 16. Tho spy
theory in connection with crippling of
tho giant Hill liner Minnesota appear
ed today to have, been completely
swept aside. In its place was a strong
suggestion that the final verdict will
be poor boilers.
Investigation so fnr indicates these
began to show trouble only a day out
of Seattlo. What part tho Seattle boil
er inspectors will pay In the ultimate
showdown is only a mattor of con.joc
turo. Hut it is certain as far as the in
vestigation has proceeded, that offi
cials are satisfied the boilers were in
bad condition.
Thereupon arises in tho minds of
many, the questions: Jid the Senttfo
inspectors make only a cursory inspec
tion" and "Did they pass her when
sho was in unseaworthy condition?"
Resumption of tho investigation was
slated toduv. Boiler men hoped to get
at the vitals of the ship.
