Oregon has hit upon new expedient to keep her citizens sober. Every man who drinks is obliged to take out li- cense costing 5$ a year, and unless armed with the document he cannot be served with liquor at any saloon or ho- tel. Every six months the names of the persons who take out the licenses are to be published in the local papers so that the public may know those who are not authorized to drink.
