VA It was a splendid occasion enjoyed
by the junior department of the
Young Mems Christian Association
last night. It was their annual ban

OF the Juniors and seniors have been
usually held jointly. This year the
order was changed and each has en-
joyed banquet on separate occas
ions.
Plans were discussed for the pro
motion of the approaching spring
work. These plans were discussed
with cool calmness, but without an
apparent SILVER, Notwithstanding the
fact that an eight-foot mantle Of snow
lay on the ground outside and tho
thermometer lowered about the zero

Wholesale Executions.

Ell PASO, Texas, Feb. 2S.-Whole-
sale executions of Maderistas through
out Mexico continue, according to
advices received here today
Everywhere the representatives Of
President Huerta have been ordered
to show no mercy to captured lead
ers Of insurrecto bands, but to shoot
them as soon as captured.
The result of this policy seems to
have been that, except in Sonora and
Coahuila, the Maderistas have ceased
fighting temporarily at least. Most
side where they are expected to re-
organize their forces before attempt
ing further attacks on Huerta's forces
They point out that, inasmuch as the
United States has not recognized the
provisional Mexican government, the
Maderistas will probably not be in
terferred with if they take arms and
ammunition across the border
The Maderista forces in Chihuahua
state have adopted the name Of Con
lstitutionalistas'' and will continue
| their fight under that name.
Latest reports from Coahuila stated
| that Governor Carranza Of that state,
and his rebel force are engaged in a
battle with Huerta troops near Mont
clova The outcome of the battle was

Diaz VIII Return.
MEXICO CITY, Via Galveston, Feb.
2S.-The return of exiled Porfirio
Diaz to Mexico within the near future
was made certain today when 1t be-
came known that group of officers
had been appointed to leave here for
| Paris soon to escort the old dictator
back to his home country. ss
Diaz, now at Cairo, Egypt, has
stated that he would not return to
Mexico until the government was re-
established, but the men now at the
head of the provisional government
have clearly indicated that his pres
ence would not be considered a men
ace to the peace of the country and
he will return to the scene of his
former triumphs as hero.
Felix Diaz, nephew of the deposed
president, today formally announced
his candidacy for the presidency. The
elections are to be held under the
direction of the provisional govern
ment. The return. of Porfirio before
the elections is regarded as a stroke
of good politics by Felix, as the de-
posed presidents influence would GER
tainly be given his nephew Minis
ter of Foreign Relations De LaBarra
will likely be the strongest candidate
|against Diaz.

United Press placing the number OF

PITCHERS

Years past, and if they pitch as
well during the season just begin

tice. it is safe to say there will be
some pitching records broken be-

The one who has been looming
up in practice as big league mate
rial is Callahan, Of Marist. and IL
the prep league record for strike
outs is not smashed this season.
it will be due to the fact that
Callahan is away off his usual
stride.
This lad is the mainstay Of the
Marist team this year. and If a
pcnnant is won, they win have
Clement Callahan to thank for It,
together, of course, with Joe Bean,
the famous coach of the Marist
team.
When It comes to a question Of
which school has the largest pitch
ing staff in this league. none Of
the others is in il with Tech High.
II has at least four available fling
ors, and two Of them-Parks and
Weston--are as good as any in
the league, with the exception of
the above mentioned Callahan.
Parks is captain Of the team this
year and has played with the high
school boys for three years. He
pitched stellar ball for the last
years team and there is no reason
why he should not repeat
Fox. Of Boys High, is another
good pitcher in the prep league this
season. He has the advantage of
experience on his side. He is an
old head on the slab and has played
semi professional ball with teams
IN the city.
G. NJ. \. has a set Of four pitch
ers. but with one exception they
are all new men. Hardeman will
bear the brunt of the pitching this
year. Coach Griffin is nursing
him along carefully and says that
the boy will be heard from before
the season is over
Peacock school seems to be up
against it when it comes to pitch
ers. There is just one pitcher
there who can be looked to to win
games for the team, and that is
Sans. Unfortunately, Sans has
been sick at his home for over a
week and may not be in the best
OF condition when the season
opens

HOW SMITH, BLIND PIG SEN
ATOR OF OREGON, CAME TO
RESCUE OF CROOKED
DRUG STORES


paid its respects to local conditions
in the following report:
We find that the city of Enterprise
has two drug stores, and that within
the past ten months they have re-
ceived and filled not less than Io,7oo
prescriptions for Intoxicating liquors,
aggregating not less than 1000 gal
Ions, and very small percentage of
the same was used or intended to be
used for medicinal purposes, and that
the physicians in most instances, and
the druggists as well, must have
known such liquors were to be used
for beverage purposes. We find that
during this time one physician issued
not less than $40 prescriptions, and
another not less than 4,14o, some for
as much as gallon, and very few for
less than quart.
There appears to be no criminal
statute in Oregon under which a ply
stefan may be punished for issuing
prescriptions for Intoxicating liquor,
no matter what quantity may be called
for in the prescriptions nor the num-
Der of prescriptions that may be issued
to the same individual.
The reason no law exists is due to
the activity of the representative of
the bootleggers in the last legislature
The representative from Wallowa
county introduced a bill at the last
session with stringent regulations Of
druggists and physicians. 1t passed
the house without difficulty; was sent
to the senate, and was referred to the
committee on medicine, pharmacy
and dentistry, of which Senator Smith,
of Josephine county, was chairman.
The introducer of the bill failed to
get senator to look after the bill,
and Senator Smith promptly brought
in an adverse report upon the bill
from his committee which was adopt
ed and the bill was killed.
Senator Befriends Blind Pigs.
Senator Smith attempted to kill the
bill defining Intoxicating liquor in the
same way, but the drys were watching
him this time, and two members of
the committee signed minority re-
port which was adopted and the bill
was passed.
Senator Smith has a fellow-fee1ing
for booze vendors, and knows how it
is himself. He is druggist and ply
sician, and has been brought before
the grand jury of his county accused
of violating the law regarding the sale
of liquors, and this accounts for his
activity. He represents the bootleg
gers faithfully 1t is safe guess that
the decent people of his district at the
first opportunity will try to get some
one who will represent them in the
legislature in place of the bootleggers
friend
