Liquor Shipments.

1t is legal to ship G. o. d. whiskey
into dry counties in this State, not
withstanding the fact that some OF
the courts have tried to break up
the practice. The legality Of these
shipments has been upheld lately by
the State supreme court, which was
given an opportunity to pass on the
question. This court did SO along
the same line Judge Nathan Cor in
the United States court did some
time ago, whose decision arrested
wide attention. In again unfolding
the legality Of such shipments the
State supreme court at Wheeling has
just passed on the case of the State
against Kenney from Lincoln county,
involving the practice of some out
side whiskey firms of shipping liq-
uor q. o. D. to express agents in dry
counties, when the goods have been
ordered by the consignee. The syl-
labus Of the decision is:
First, Section 1, chapter 40, acts
of 1903. relating to shipment and
sale of intoxicating liquors contrary
to law and providing remedy
therefor, is inapplicable when APP
piled to interstate shipments.
Second. An agent in this state of

business of common carrier Of pack
ages, which accepts spirituous liquor
in another state for shipment and
delivery to a consignee in this state

delivers the liquor to consignee in
the usual course of the business of
such common carrier, and collects
from the consignee the price of the
liquor, and the cost of carriage. is
not guilty Of selling intoxicating
liquor without a state license for
dealing therein, although at the time
of ouch delivery he knows the con-
signee had not ordered the liquor.

There is good prospect that the

weeks. state of affairs that ought
to impress on the city council the
urgency of getting busy at once on

act at once in this matter.

BY Clarksburg Lady in Highly IN

The following is a letter from
clarksburg lady at the Jamestown

Hampton, Va. June II, 1907.
am perfectly delighted with

my friend from Jefferson and ! went
to old st. Johns church. In the
afternoon we all sat under the mag

a o'clock. A strong salt breeze
blew in, SO cool that had to change
my dress for warmer one. Monday
was the greatest day they viii have
in the program. We had early
breakfast, 1890, and all made a visit
for Old Point, where from the pier,
we watched the President review the
feet. All the IA shipe, in a double
line thre miles long, covered with
hundreds Of flags and remnants fly
ing all over them in strong breeze.
II was a clear, bright day. All the
warships Numbered away as the
Mayfower passed them. We could
see straight down the line. Then
the President came back and stop
ped right in front Of US, while his
guests arrived in launches. Every
thing was decorated. After they left
for the exposition we got on a big
steamer and followed. The water
by that time was fairly alive with
boats. All the sailors going to the
parade. We passed all the admirals
In their gorgeous uniforms, each in
his own launch on the way to the
parade, too, and boat loads of offic-
ers and ladies. 1t was fine, tell
you. / saw the parade, got my

the little bunch of us, stood up with
his hat in his hand. and bowed to us

dinner and a crowd of us went back

A Salem correspondent shows his
ignorance, when he says Judge
Lynch and the county court granted
a saloon license at Salem. Every
one knows Judge Lynch is not a
member of the county court and had
nothing to do with granting the
license for the saloon at Salem, nor
the granting of license to saloons at
any other place. Persons who send
out such information ought to post
themselves first.

FOR DRY DOCK
At THIS PORT

Another batch of letters from mem
bers of Congress on the subject Of
Pearl Harbor Improvement came to the
Chamber of Commerce in the Siberia 3
mail. While all are favorable, two are
especially strong in support, respective
ly, of providing navigation facilities
and defenses at Pearl Harbor, and
dry dock at the port of Honolulu as
the writer expresses himself.
81 am heartily in favor of the pro-
ject," Loring p. Manger of Pennsyi-
vania writes along with remarks on the
Importance of Pearl Harbor.
James A. Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman of the House committee on
appropriations, discusses dry dock at
Honolulu at considerable length. He is
very emphatic in his opinion of the
necessity of such a maritime conve-
nienee here, going to the length of de-
elaring that he would work for it in
preference to a certain other PROPOSE
tion named in behalf of a mainland
port.
Those who have replied in general
terms, acknowledging the receipt of the
Chambers memorial and promising to
give the matter their careful attention,
include:
Geo. W. Smith, Illinois, chairman of
House committee on private land claims.
G. Washburn and Ernest W. Roberts,
Massachusetts,.
Nicholas Longworth, Ohio.

FORMER HONOLUlANS
IN SAN FRANCISCO

A ~letter received today from San
Francisco, written by long time resi-
dent here, 5. C. V. Turner, tells an
interesting story of the conditions now
existing there Notwithstanding the
telegraph, ear and other strikes, the
graft trials and the mixups in politics
consequent upon the appointment of
new officers, yet there is said to be quite
boom on in business. The latest
japanese trouble was entirely a hood
Ium racket quickly squelehed by the
police and created only temporary in
terest.
Mentioning some former residents the
letter states that Morris Rosenberg, of
Red Front" fame here, is now the
proprietor of the "PaIl Mall Cafe"
high class resort, and has Hawaiian
musicians as an attraction. Birbe, the
ex-poIitieian, is rat catching for the
s. r. Board Of Health. Jack ellis has
a cafe, Larry Dee is tending at the
Jefferson hotel bar, Frank Turk is
runner for a hotel, Jack Weeday is in
