HUFFMAN TACKLES NEAR BEER
The Feather" Beverage Plays High
Jinks With Pendleton Boozers.

Editor Huffman of the East Oregon
ian is still scrapping. Now it's near
beer. The drinking of feathers" at
Pendleton appears to be pretty "near"
to the real thing, and Huffman calls
attention to the nearness as follows:
ut is evident from the actions of
number of the drinkers of the stuff in
this oity on Saturday that the alleged
''near beer" being sold hy number
of former saloon men at their old
stands, is too "near beer" to pass the
test of the prohibition law and there
will Ee wholesale cleaning out Of
these soft drink places if the law is
not observed.
'"The people cannot and will not be
fooled. They know as much as the sa-
loon men and they have voted prohibit
tion on Umatilla county and it is safe
to say if the law is violated that some
body will suffer for it.
