carolessly. "The negotiations have

Liquor 7 actics

The liquor traffic could not survive if it not
for the money it uses its intimidation of business
men, and unfair methods of every kind. If the liquor
traffic compelled to make its fight in the open and
on fair basis, it would not last year When the sa-
looms in" saoonkeepers employ every device to
circumvent the law, and when they are out they do
the same thing Down in Montgomery county, Hi
nos it appears that two individuals, with unpro-
nounceable Names recently conceived the idea OF es-
tabishing speakeasy, by bribng the sheriff OF that
county, in the dry" town Of Hillsboro Here is the
story as related by the local paper
Tried To Bride the Sheriff.
Joe W. Bottoms and Mike P. Paulukuas two residents
of Springfield, Hsboro Monday of this week
for the purpose of brbing Sheriff NJ T. Higgins into al
lowing them to operate "speakeasy" Hills
boro and Taylor Springs They explained to Mr. Higgins
that they would sell sandwich for fifteen cents and throw
in bottle drink of whisky and for the privilege
of conducting such joints they would him $500
month they would also let him arrest them
time the grand jury met and they would pay reason
able would take light jail sentences If necessary
The evidently not acquainted with oherlf
Higgins also poor judges of for they made
awful bunder in putting such proposition to Sheriff
Higgins who has heap of fighting Irish in his veins,
although he trouble Mr. Higgins called
before the grand jury before the two had finished
their proposition and while he absent from them the
sheriff began looking the law the grand jury
couldn't handle them The longer he thought over the
matter, however, the madden he got, and when the
strangers returned later the evening with cigarettes stuck
the of their mouths and boldly asked the sheriff
what he going do they the worst surprise party
they doubtless have received for Mr. Higgins
gave them his reply in the mouth and with his
fists and they turned hunt he raised them Oft the
floor about foot with his number shoes. When Mr..
Higgins planted his fist the face of the first he drove
the cigarette down the fellows throat and the fire flew
direction Then he followed with several beautiful
punches before he turned his attention the second fellow

they boarded traction quickly they could and
hit the grit towards home.
There probably many sheris the state who
willing sell their honor bunch of booeggers but
thank heaven the sheriff of Montgomery county not
structed Of this kind of clay He could probably collect from
$4,000 $4,000 of this kind of dirty money he
would allow himself be bbed and while the temptation
great Mr.. Higgins can be relied to do his duty

He said the police had ordered the music out of all
the saloons in his part of the state. He asked
why and he said $50 that the saloon men will come
across meaning that the police would not allow the
music unless the saloon paid the police for the
favor
He further said that whenever the mayor Of the
town wanted the saloons that violating the law
raded the chief of police would call up the saloon and
"pu them on, SO nothing would be found by the raid
He also suggested that the local saloon men were
paying large sums for information to who

The Liquor Devil Real Devil.
There is nothing in this world in the lower
world that the liquor traffic will not do to accomplish
it's end and perpetuate it's business 1t will ride over
the rights Of the people, violate their laws, and corrupt
their officials and grind into dust women and little
children that it may make more money. 1t will strive
to ruin the reputation of by the circulation OF
slanderous and lying reports about them. Where it
is in control it will drive from the community every
citizen who objects to its deviltry. 1t must make
money-and there is nothing high nor low that it will
not undertake to accomplish its purpose No good
CITIZEN no patriot farnnded man, lover OF his
country, no Christian-can by any means, or to any
Degree give aid and comfort to this monstrous thing
We go farther-no good citizen, no patriot, no fair
minded man, lover Of his country, no Christian
can sit idle while these things continue and be good
citizen or patriot or a fair-minded man thor
ough Christian.

CATTLE PRICES
\. ARE VERY LOW
KILLERS WELL SUPPLIED 4
AND SURPLUS ON HAND
outlook at North Portland Is Bear
ish-Sheep Market Is Also Much
Easier-Iiogs Arriving IN Large
Numbers and Prices Good,
(From Mondays JournalD

The best offers available for Sc
iected California cattle today were
not above $3.50 for steers at North
Portland this afternoon. There was
bid for a few extra fancy heifers
as high as $5.4O, but fancy cows could
IND bids no higher than $40. Re-
celVers were not willing to sell at
these prices but killers said they were
overloaded and did not care much
TO buy at these figures The prices
named are so low that future ship
ments from the south are prohibited,
unless there is change in the value
here
With the big killers now well sup
piled with cattle and with liberal
surplus in sight, there was nothing
but a bearish outlook in the home
yards today. There was another lib
eral supply available for killers today
but buyers were loath to. take hold
except at sharply reduced values. 1t
is stated on quite good authority that
leading Pacific northwest killer has
a surplus of 1900 cattle in his feed
pens at this time and for that rea-
ments at this period.
While it is not the policy of killers
to hit the price of cattle as long as
they have a big surplus of high cost
stuff on hand, the present situation
is said to be rather serious and for
that reason buyers are not inclined
to look with favor upon heavy addi-
tional runs.
Today there was another big show
ing of California cattle on the local
market. The stuff that has been ar
riving from there has, as a rule, been
OF medium to poor quality, and kill
ers already have more of this stuff
than they can readily take care of.
Local Stuff Is the Best.
This year the stuff that has been
received in the cattle yards from To-
cal points has been of much higher
quality than that which was brought
forward from other sections. The
California stuff, especially. has been
disappointing to buyers and the Of
fering Of this class of stock has al
ways been a detrment to the general
trade. At this time the outside Of
fering is doubly bearish in its ac-
tion against the price.
The cattle trade has shown signs
of disaster at North Portland for
about 10 days. Late last week there
was no mistaking the signs of lower
values. Some tried to get away from
them, but those that had cattle to
offer felt the depressing sentiment to
a considerable degree. Some Of the
stuff that arrived Saturday could
