State of Oregon, Legal Dept,
Salem, July 9, 1917.
gHonorable G. e. Hawkins,
District Attorney, Lincoln Co.,
Toledo, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
have your inquiry bearing
date of the 9th instant, together
with an enclosure requesting in
formation as to whether or not
chapter 215, Laws of 1917, pro-
hibits the shipment of crabs
taken from the waters of Alsea
Bay.
To this question my answer
is no. The provision of said
chapter 215 makes criminal the
transportation or the Offering
for shipment or transportation,
"or to have in their possession
for the purpose of transporting
or shipping, any crabs taken or
caught in the waters of Yaquina
Bay and its tributary streams,
in Lincoln County, State of Ore.
.gon, during the months of July,
August and September of any
year"
Neither Alsea Bay nor any of
the streams that flow into it are
in any sense waters tributary to
,Yaquina Bay. With reference
to waters, the word tributary"
has a well defined meaning. The
courts have defined a tributary
to be a natural stream running
into another stream. Webster's
International Dictionary defines
tributary" as "a stream flowing
into another stream or into a
lake"
The way the term tributary"
is used by the Legislature, evil

flow into Yaquina Bay. The only
crimes in Oregon are those.

The Legislature then. by chap
ter 2t5, only having made crimi-
nal the transportation of crabs
taken from the waters of va
quina Bay and its tributaries
could not be made to apply to
crabs taken from the waters OF
Alsea Bay or its tributary
streams.
There is a law protecting
crabs in Coos County. including
all bays, harbors and inlets of
Coos County. This probabl,
has been confused with the Lin
coin County Act which applies
only to Yaquina Bay and its trib-
utary streams.

Attorney General.

:: CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE ::

"Jack Van Rensselaer, would not be
ct all reasonable Margie," said Paula,
and pretty soon his mother awaken
cd to the fact he was paying me more
attention than was strictly in the bond
Of friendohip, and so one morning az
ter breakfast when Jack had fairly
captured me away for a walk about
the deck-she called to me.
MRS. Van Rensselaer, could be very
winning when she wished and l did
not blame her for the disclosures at
that time. After talking with me
quite while on trivial matters which
meant only social amenities, while
Jack stood by and glowered at us,
she said: Just look at that boy, Miss
Newton, one would. think he was un,
happy because this boat was not a
flying machine
Mother, expostulated Jack as his
face became almost purple.
well, my dear boy, am sure you
need not be at all ashamed of your
impotence. You knew your sister

Newton, Jack and Carlotta Mavis

never really illuminated into a decla.

however, Jack was so miserable and

and stay out all hours of the night"
How do you know?
Tve heard it, and 1 can tell that he
isn't any good by the way he shakes
hands"
Anna had idly plucked an apple BIOS
som which hung near.
I'm sorry you don't like him" she
had answered. I'm going riding with
him again tonight"
What" Edgsr's face had grown
suddenly white.
"And he's asked me to 90 to a col
lege dance this winter, and I'm going"
Anna had continued.
1t was then that the hurt look had
come into Edgars eyes. For long
two minutes he had been silent.
I'm sorry" he had said finally. 81
don't want you to have anything to do
with Ned. But what l want doesn't
make any difference, but I'm going 10
tell you something just the same. I'm
not much at saying things but ever
since was little kid I've thought all
the world Of you, And had hoped that
in another year, maybe, you would
promise to marry me, and-and that
we could live on my place, and be to-
gether all the time"
She had looked at him wonderingly.
"Why, Edgar" she said finally. Il
never cared for you like that"
He had searched her eyes for brief
moment, and then had dropped his
head,
NO." he had said softly, u don't
think that you do"
That was three years ago. Ned
Howell had not come to take her auto
riding; instead, he had gone away
to visit a friend without so much as
word to her. And Edgar had left two
days later for California to take charge
Of farm his father had bought.
For three lonely years Anna had not
heard from him directly, nor had she
written to him. Each spring, at apple
blossom time, it had seemed as if she
could not bear it moment longer. And
this year, just ten days ago she had
swallowed her pride and had sent him
a letter. 1t was only note really, and
ended something like this:
"If you still care as you did when
you we're a little kid, you Nigh come
10 me near the old orchard bench"
She had written ten days ago; there
had been plenty OF time for him to
come and each afternoon she had gone
to the bench and waited. 1t seemed as
if he had forgotten
Sitting now viii her face in her
hands, Anna reviewed the whole
wretched affair. The scent Of apple
blossoms brought to her poignant men,
cries. A single tear escaped from her
tightly shut eyes and rolled down one
cheek,
Suddenly footstep sounded nearby

had caught his gaze full upon her. She
had flushed prettily and had turned her
attention at once to the hymn book,
but when the meeting was concluded
Ned had come up to her at once and
had asked II he might see her home.
Edgar, she knew, was waiting at the
door, as he had done for the past two
years, but she had NODDED a happy ac-
ceptance to Ned's invitation and had
passed Edgar with the barest smile.
Ned had taken her home in the car,
but they hadn't gone directly to her
house.
Wen take a little spin," he had
said. otis much too early to go home
yet"
And so they had rolled along the
country roads while Ned told her Of
the life at college, Of dances, football
games and weekend house parties. He
had been perfectly decent about it all,
and although his glance had often
searched her appraisingly, he had CIV
en- every attention to the car.

East to one of the Dances" he had re-
marked just before he left her. II

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and Just SEQ
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
shauld be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces Of
orchard white, then shake well and you
have whole quarter pint Of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar Of ordi-
nary cold cream. Be sure to strain the
lemon juice SO no pulp gets into the
bottle, then this lotion will remain pure
and fresh for months. When applied
daily to the face, neck, arms and hands
it should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very little
cos and the grocer has the lemons.
