CLAMBAKE AT MARLBORO.

Honored Guest-sOme More Phases OF
Prohibition.
A party OF members of the Trout
and Salmon club with guests number.
ing some 80 enjoyed ride to Marlboro
South pond yesterday where fine
clambake was served. The party was
headed by some Of the lead ing bust.
ness men on our street and in Hinsdale
and was given largely in compliment t
to guests from Massachusetts.
Sherff ;:Starkey was belated guest,
meandering on to the ground late in
the day. With all the hospitality of
such an occasion he was asked il he
wouldn't have some clans. He
thought he would. Then the chef
asked him if he wouldn't like bottle
OF beer. He thought he would, and they
went to the ice house where after
lengthy paving over the chief had to
cay, with regretful apology, Il de-
clare. l guess it's all gone" Then
with sigh of grateful relief Starkey
pulled out his warrant, commanding
him with all majesty of the prohib-
itory law to search, and ''seize" all
the spirituo us liquors on the prem
ises. He told the leading gentlemen
what he was there for, and they re-
gretted that they couldn't treat the
thirsty state of Vermont: they had
eight cases of beer, hut it was all gone.
The complaint was made by John
E. p. Butterfield and issued by Justice
p. Adams, the states attorney havin g
ony a clerical part in drawing tn e
papers. OF course it grew out of the
fishing cases and was revenge for the
by the club, and it is a
which some of the Marlbo-
roites propose to continue every time
any club member takes any liquid re-
freshment there to furnish" anybody
else, and it is beyond question that
such furnishing comes within this
beautiful prohibitory law of ours.
AS usual there is plenty of con
demnation of the spite in it, and as
usual it comes from people who reg
ularly vote for the:law Of which the
demand the enforcement |
to the letter. 1t has occurred to one or
two of them that it is getting about |
time to kick themselves as the ulti-
mate authors of the law instead of
those who simply demand its enforce
ment.
1t is aggravating enough that gen
tleman can't take a party of gentlemen
and friends out without being pounced
lpon in this way. But the remedy is
1t the polls and this fall and two years
hence and regularly thereafter the is.
'ue is to be presented to the people of
Vermont until it is decided whether
hey want common sense' in their
aW or not.
AS contrast to this story of enforce
nent il is worth while to look at Bur
ington where several hotels and sa-
oons have been declared "nuisances"
inder the act that orders them clos ed
light, the notices are posted on the
Ioors all right, but they are. running
ull blast night and e.v, md selling
'arrels of rum every hour.
Such is "prohlbition"in two p hases

The 18th Anniversary of the Y. NJ. c. A

The 18th anniversary of the Young
Mems Christian Association was held
in the Congregational church Sunday
evening and Notwithstanding the in
tense heat. the church vas filled with
people to listen to the reports and the
address by Rev. George Hall, the state
secretary of New York. who was intro
duced by Gen. J. j. Estey as vet
eran" in Y. NJ. c. A. work. The
meeting was opened by Scripture read
ing by Rev. c. O. Day and prayer by
Rev. L. d. Temple and was followed
by the reading of the reports of the
secretary, b. c. Austin, and Mrs. c.
+. r. Jenne, secretary of the AuXil-
iary. The report Of the secretary

work, basket ball team and numerous
other devices for the enjoyment and
welfare of the boys and young men of

bad failed to see the need of an asso-
citation in our town before cannot help
but see the wide gap that would be
made should such an unfortunate thing
occur as to have the association here
dissolve. This is, of course, only
surmise as the association was never in .

Glddness Comes

MTith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper cf-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
esed and gives most general satisfaction.

Exhibits for st. Paul.

A freight car, loaded with grain of all
kind in stalk, and sacked grasses, in
cluding alfalfa; fruit, fresh, dried,
canned and Jared; vegetables of all
kinds, hops, wool, fish, wood and min
erals, will leave Portland August 9th
for st. Paul. 1t is desired that all farm
ers or other exhibitors who have any
thing to exhibit will bring them to the
Office of The Dalles Commission Co.,
corner of Second and Washington
streets. Mr.. Emile Schanno will per-
sonally superintend the packing of them
and they will be properly shipped. This
action was determined at a recent meet
ing at The Dalles, at which was present
Mr.. E. n. Morgan of Portland. The
committee especially wants the pro
ducers to bring in grain in the sheaf or
in bulk, fruit, vegetables, any product
showing good growth. Any product or
article calculated to interest strangers in
Oregon's resources or capabilities will
be gladly received.
On arrival, the exhibits will be re-
moved from the car and placed in the
main pavilion, where they will be ar
ranged for exhibition. Messrs. B. S.
Pague and A. Fl. Devers, commissioners
of this board, will accompany the car,
and they will have two ASSISTANTS. Mr..
Robert II. Wilson, who is now giving
illustrated lectures of Oregon in Iowa,
under the direction and auspices of this
board, will be in st. Paul during the
time of the state fair, and lectures will
be given on the state fair grounds, de-
scriptive of Oregon; Messrs. Pague and
Devers will also lecture. At the close of
the fair, the exhibits will be repacked
and returned to Portland, where, those
in condition will be placed in the ex-
position, which opens September 10.
Among many attractive exhibits to be
sent to the fair will be several 75-pound
frozen salmon; and, while Messrs.
Pague and Devers are at the exposition,
they will give several dinners, which
will consist solely of Oregon products.
Oregon salmon, potatoes. ham, fruits,
brandy. wines and beer. This dinner
will he given to representatives of the
press, and viii do wonders toward ad-
vertising Oregon.

Where Multnomah falls is laughingly
