Non-Enforcement
Sunday Closing

We, the grand jury duly sworn
and empanelled for the August
1916 term of the circuit court of
the state of Iregon for Lincoln
County, respectfully submit the
following partial report of our
proceedings:
The grand jury has thus far
considered twenty cases, includ-
ing a number of original invest
igations. 1t has examined sixty-
four witnesses and has returned
into court eight true bills and
four not-true bills, and has caus-
ed one person to be held for in
Vestigation by the juvenile court.
With reference to prosecu-
tlons based on Section 2125 of
Lords Oregon Laws, commonly
known as the Sunday closing
law, the grand jury submits the
Following recommendation in
the interest of economy.
Resolution
Whereas, the law known as
the Sunday closing law is being
submitted to the people of Ore
gon for their endorsement by re-
pealing or refusing to repeal the
same at the 1916 election in No
vember; and
Whereas, numerous violations
OF this law have been reported to
the district attorney of Lincoln
County, Oregon, and by him
presented to this grand Jury:
therefore, be it
Resolved, that inasmuch as
the said law is not being general
ly enforced throughout the state,
and further that the people will
vote upon the same at the cleo
ton in November, It is the sense
of the grand jury that the dis
trict attorney do not file any fur.
ther prosecutions under this law
until after the general election
in November, 1916.
With reference to the enforce
ment of the prohibition law, this
grand jury deems 1t advisable to
submit the following recon-
mendation:
lnasmuch as there has been
much conflicting testamony
coming before this grand jury
or and concerning violations of
the liquor law of the state ofOr-
egon, and it appearing to the
grand jury that various persons
nave sworn to one condition of
facts in the justice court or be-
fore the district attorney and to
a different condition of facts in
the grand jury room, the grand
jury deems it to be for the best
interests of justice and the en-
forcement of the law that in fu-
ture cases brought in the Justice
court, or before the district at
torney, a shorthand report OF
such proceedings be had and
that such notes be extended into
longhand and filed with the
grand jury at its next session
thereafter.
This grand jury, having now
hnished its labors in all cases
which can be closed at this time
deems it advisable to adjourn to
meet again, Wednesday, Janu-
airy 31st, 1917, If the same be
satisfactory to the Court. and
if urgent business does not de-
mand that the grand jury be
sooner reconvened.

Sweet Glover
and Milk

VIZ l. ARE learning new
w things about new and
old crops all the time. Many
growers claim that sweet
clover pasture will not affect
the flavor OF milk. but the
subscriber who wrote the fol-
lowing letter knows that it did
do il in at least one case
"a year ago We planted
patch 10 sweet clover. As
our winter oats iroze out il
was our earliest pasture. so
we put Our COW in this field.
The clover tainted the milk.

the surplus butter, as the Gus
toners did not like the sweet
clover flavor. We now have
the COW in the woods pasture.
and there is no unpleasant
odor or taste to her milk or
the butter.
I'VE put her on the sweet
clover pasture in the morning
and kept her in the oats field
at night. and there was a vast
difference in the taste OF the
morning and evening milk
now the taste is the same at
both milkings.
I'VE will plant sweet clover
again this fall, but not as
dairy feed"

Dairy
Growth

dor a number OF years
l. past the dairy industry
has been growing and prosper
ing. Dairy products arc bring
ing profitable prices because
OF foreign and domestic de-
mand. A bulletin recently is
sued shows the exports OF a
few dairy products for the
nine months ending April !,
1910, compared with the same
period in 1914. The table fol-
lows:
Pounds. Pounds.
Cheese .......... i.pai. 900 ss.iiscoo
Butter .......... seal 600 ia.o7s.eoo
Condemned milk. u. oso. 600 ~, sas. 900
The increase is astounding.
The business OF dairying is
such good ono that bankers
are buying cows for farmers
20 pay for on time. The in
crease OF domestic call is due
largely to the area OF pros
perity now prevalent in this
country. Wages arc at top
levels and purchasing power is
far above normal. Working
people can now afford butter,
cheese, pastry. ice cream, and
numerous other delectables
that call for milk.
Foreign demand arises from
the losses sustained by dairy
herds, the same as other
branches OF the livestock in
dustry. Whether or not we
can expect a continuance OF
such demand is difficult to
predict. Previous to the be-
ginning OF the European war
the people in this country CON
sumed more butter than was
produced here. During the
year 1914 our imports of but
ter were double the exports,
but this condition was re-
vcrsed during 1915, when our
exports OF butter were more
than double our imports.
There is nothing on the
horizon that should hinder the
growth of our dairy business
at least until Europe has
had time to recover from the
effects of the war
