DRY LAW MAY
PASS HOUSE FRIDAY
Question of What Will Happen to
"Shipments" En- Route Is Admit
tedly Rather BOthersOme One.

Salem, Or, Jan. 23.-Out of the
mass of suggested amendments to the
bone dry law made at the open meet
ing in the house last night it is prob
able that the joint committee will in
corporate but two-one providing
specifically for the manufacture and
sale of denatured alcohol, and the
other requiring personal bond from
food manufacturers using alcohol as
a preservative. 1t is unlikely that the
committee will recommend changes
making it easier to procure the intox-
icant, and it is positively arrayed
against allowing the use of any other
intoxicant, even for medical purposes
No additional provision will be made
for enforcing the law.
This was the opinion expressed to-
day by Representative Anderson,
chairman of the house committee con-
sidering the bill and its sponsor.
He believes that the bill will be
passed, carrying the emergency clause
not later than Friday, and possibly
sooner.
Through an oversight the bill, as
at present constituted, would prevent
the manufacture of denatured alcohol
inasmuch as it is derived from an in
toxicant.
1t was through the forceful pres
entation by Dr. A. A. Hall Of Portland
of the possibilities of making the
manufacture of denatured alcohol an
industry of big proportion that this
change was made certain.
Members of the medical fraternity
according to their discussion of the
bill last night, assumed that provision
would be made for the use OF intoxi-
cants other than plain alcohol for
medicinal purposes.
!, In this they are sadly mistaken, for
DR.. Anderson's report of what the
committee intends recommending in
this report leaves no room for doubt.
1t will be up to the physicians, to re-
duce the alcohol to such proportions
as to make it palatable.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN

Fire that broke out in the barn
belonging to W. o. Hill on Center
street Friday noon nearly wiped out
that structure and flying embers
started blaze in the roof of the City
Meat Market across the street. Both
fires were extinguished by the volun-
teer department before any great
damage was done.
1t is believed that the fire started
in the barn when Freeman HILL
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. O.
Hill was playing with matches. The
barn was enveloped in flames before
the alarm could be given. The sec
ond blaze did but little damage, al
though the water which was poured
into the building caused some in
convenience.

WOOL SHORTAGE A FACT.

The United States, for the first
time in history, is restricted in its
wool supplies to its own clip and
small quantities from South America
together with very uncertain mini
mum allowance from Great Britain
which country has Communicated all
wool grown in the British Empire for
government uses. AS our country
grows less than 25 per cent of the
wool it uses, a most serious condition
faces the manufacturer, merchant
and consumer. The surplus wool is
being rapidly consumed and prices
must continue very high until months
after the war closes.
