ELoPED WITH 1s.YEAR-oLD GIRL.
Lloyd Blake, Aged 26, Ran Away With
Ethel cruzan.

Several days ago Lloyd Blake, we'll
known in police circles and arrested
several times here for drunkenness,
eloped with Ethel Cruzan, the 1S-year-
old daughter of Mrs Alice Cruzan, of
this city. Mrs. Cruzan notified the po-
lice officers here, but she was advised
to go to Portland and look up the
couple there, as it was thought in all
probability they went in that direc-
tion.
Accordingly Mrs. Cruzan went TO
the metropolis and notified the officers
there of the elopcment. The girl
was located in a lodging house Sun
day. and was at once brought back
home.
Blake in some way learned that the
girl was being searched for by the Of
fcers and has left Portland, or, at any
rate. the police cannot find him. He
is 26 years old, and is known to be
of Dissolute habits.-Eugene Guard.

Every one knows and will admit the
saloon keeper is keeping saloon for

profits from the saloon business, and
the saloon will disappear at once. Men
do not keep saloon because they love

test the business, and would cheerful

cupation that would pay as well for
time and effort expended; they keep
saloon because 1t makes large returns
in profits for efforts extended. The
Prohibition party stands for sys-
TEN that makes the saloon possible,
and keeps It in existence. The saloon
will remain so long as there is inn

Of liquor. Prohibitory laws in some of
