the "near-beer' Ordinance recently
passed by the city council, is threat
ened by Dee Matlock of the Columbia
bar, who was yesterday arrested upon
a charge of violating the provisions of
that ordinance by selling malt bever-
ages without a license. Matlock en-
tered a plea of not guilty when ar
raigned before Judge Fitz Gerald and
will appear for trial on Monday morn
ing next.
At the time the license ordinance
was passed Matlock made application
for license offering the bond and
otherwise complying with the terms
of the ordinance, but his application
was refused by the council for reasons
which were not made public other
wise than through the rumor that 1t
was because Matlock had pleaded
guilty to a violation of the prohibitory
law. Matlock's attorneys will con-
tend that having offered his compli-
ance with the terms of the license Or
dinance the council had no choice but

Matlock's arrest was made by Chief
OF Police Tom Gurdane and at the
trial the city will offer in evidence to
show the violation of the ordinance
a glass Of some malt beverage seized
by the marshal in the Columbia bar
of which Matlock is owner, just before
the arrest was made.
Since he had been refused the IL
cense Matlock's place had been kept
open with curtains put up at the win
dows, and it Is alleged that he con-
tinued in the business all the time, al
though Matlock personally denies that
he did so. He will be represented In
the trial of the case by ]. p. Winter,
and threatens to carry the case to the
highest courts If necessary to defend
his rights under the ordinance. Mean
time, or until the trial Monday, the
Columbia bar will be closed.

ELDER BROTHER COMES
TO INVESTIGATE MILL
Intending Purchasers Have Not Yet
Acted Upon Proposition Submitted
by Local Business Mer-E'avorable
Answer Is Anticipated-Local Peo-
pie Will Take Woolen Mill Bonds.

Clarence NJ. Bishop, brother Of Roy
T Bishop. arrived this morning from
Salem on business connected with the
securing Of the Pendleton wooden
mills.
Since the arrival of the elder Bish-
op the subject OF the mill has been
gone over in detail by the two broth
ers They have been consulting with
their attorneys regarding the bond
ing proposition that was suggested by
the local business men at the meeting
a few days ago.
that no answer had yet been received
from the intending purchasers. How
ever, it is the general belief that an
amicable understanding will be reach
ed 1t is asserted by the local men
that the proposition submitted to the
Bishops is even more favorable to
them than their own plan.
Should the offer of the local people
be accepted there is little doubt of
the complete success of the movement

local capital can be secured to take
the 5000 bond issue.
According to those familiar with
the situation there will be little diff
ficulty in securing sufficient local
money for the purpose. Instead of
buying stock in the company the local
people will be asked to buy woolen
mill bonds, drawing five per cent in
terest. This is providing the bonding
plan is agreed upon.

YET IN DOUBT
PRIZES MAY GO TO ANY
TWO OF SEVERAL
Participants in Contest Depriving
Much Personal Benefit Through
Their Efforts TO Win the Pretty Lit
tie Ponies and Carts for Them
sclvcs-Racc VIII soon BE Over.

The probable winners Who do you
think will be the winners? No con-
testant should have thought other
than that they will be the winner It
is not a strength or ability builder that
you believe your opponent has any
brighter prospects than you have
Nor does 1t give you a greater amount
of hope and energy that you can use
in getting votes and which you need IL
you are to carry off the prize. Faint
heart never won fair lady or Togo or
Teddy in the pony contest. If you
really want to win never lose the
thought that you are going to win. The
other fellow is not in the race.
The prize is not the only thing to be
considered in a contest of this kind
either. We know of a bashful. back
ward little maiden who took part in
a contest who came out capable
young lady with plenty of self-poise,
reasonable assurance and good ad-
dress. The work had developed her
resourcefulness, perseverance and
tact. Her parents said that the prize
was not worth half as much to their
daughter as the development of her
latent qualities"
From an educational standpoint ev-
cry contestant will be winner.
Charles Schwab, who was at one time
head of the steel trust. drawing a sal
ary of S1,000.000 a year. commenced
life as a breaker" boy in the coal
mines. The pittance he received, as
wages, barely kept soul and body to-
gether. He knew he was not receiv-
ing what he was earning, yet he said.
81 felt some time, some place some
how, | would be paid in full" Do you
think his million year salary made
up for the under pay of his boyhood? ?
That is the thought every boy or
girl should carry in their mind when
they feel they. are not getting what
they earn in dollars and cents They
are gaining the experience that is fit
ting them for greater things in the fu-
ture where someone will pay dearly
for it,
At some future time you may wish
to come before the public and you
will find it much easier for the ex-
perience you have gained in the Jour-
nal-East oregonian contest. The
character you have shown in this con-
test will probably be characteristic of
you in all your future undertakings.
Coupons Not valid.
There will be no more coupons
after today. All coupons clipped
from the East Oregonian must be in
tonight. In the "Out-of-town" divi-
sion all must be in by six o'clock
