Clatskanie. Ore, June 20.-The city
council passed an ordinance Monday
night prohibiting all restaurants and
hotels from having curtains or any
other partitions separating parts of
their dining rooms from the general
view of all persons in the room, also
prohibiting the serving of liquor in
such places.
The contributing cause to the pas
passage of this ordinance was a report
made to the council some time since
by the marshal to the effect that high
school girls were being served with IL
quors in these places under cover of
the curtains. In more than one in
stance girls have been known to be
under the influence of liquor after
dining in these restaurants.
The fact that minors are securing
liquor in various ways is becoming
too common for further toleration and
an investigation is pending. About a
week ago three eighth grade school
girls came home one evening in an in
toXicated condition Before action could
be taken three boys, one of them un-
der age, disappeared from town, but
not before warrants were out for their
arrest. Two of them We're brought
back and were given hearing in po-
lice justice court Monday and were
held to await the action of the grand
jury. The third boy will be brought
back and brought to trial One was

Twenty-six new borrowers We're

have been withdrawn, the causes be-
ing death, marriage or removal from

and eighty-four four per cent of
which were non-fiction books for the
month of May 1912. twelve hundred
and sixty-nine books were issued, Civ
ing us a gain of two hundred and fif-
teen books for this year.
During the past two months quite
a large number of new books have
been added in the children's room,
