Warned to Suppress Vice

While the Copperfield situation seems
to have cleared considerably, it is evil
dent the governor is not yet through
with his Spring house cleaning. This
morning the situation was presented in
a new phase when the governor sent
wire to 9. I. Goodwin, district attorney
for Baker county as follows:
"Unless you take prompt steps to
preform the duty imposed upon you by
chapter 274 laws, 1918, and abate all

that during the day notices would prob
ably be sent the mayors and chiefs of
police Of Whitney, Haines, Sumpter and
other towns in Baker county that the
laws must be enforced, houses Of pros

The governor makes neither threats
nor promises in this connection, but
in the light Of events at Copperfield IL
is fair to presume that if the governors
orders are not obeyed there will be an.

OREGON ELECTRIC TRAFFIC
DELAYED BY FLOOD
DUE TO LOG JAM

A log jam, coupled with torrential
rain, caused back water from the Tual-
itan river to flow over the Oregon Elcc-
trio tracks to depth of four feet this
morning, interupting traffic at this
point, although trains are kept running
from either end Of the line. The track
is as yet firm on its foundation, but
cannot long withstand the torrent press
ing upon it, and trains were not sent
through for fear Of grounding the mo.
tors and doing much damage. It is be.
lieyed that it will be necessary to blast
the jam before the volume Of water can
be released.
An attempt is being made by the Ore
gon Electric company to care for local
traffic, a car going out from Salem in
time to bring in some 25 school children
from stations north, who attend the Sa.
