BO0TLEGGERS JAILED
AND FINED AT DRAIN

Two men arrested for attempting
to transport a quantity of liquor
from California into Coos county re-
ceived severe sentence at the hands
of Justice of the Peace Wimberly Of
Drain when they were tried before
him last week. The younger of the
two, E. J. Hanson, aged 19, was fined
$500 and sentenced to serve three
months in jail, while the older, j. j..
Ryan, aged S5, who was believed to
be the ringleader and sponsor for
the attempt to smuggle in the IL
licit contraband wet goods, was fined
$500 and sentenced to serve six
months in jail.
According to Sheriff Quine Drain
residents reported that these men
had made two previous trips to
Scottsburg with cargoes of liquor,
and on one occasion had rendered
two quarts to the stage-driver in
payment for hauling the booze. Hav-
ing reached Drain last Thursday
with two sacks of bottled in bond
whiskey the alleged bootleggers
cached the stuff about half mile
out Of town and informed the stage
driver that the plant" had been
made. In some manner Deputy Shsr-
iff Sterling learned the whereabouts
of the cache and confiscated same,
and the next morning while the own
ers of the booze were eating break
fast at a Drain restaurant, placed
them under arrest, which led to the
fine and imprisonment.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES ARE ORGANIZED

Twelve counties of Northern Cali
fornia have organized the Northern
California Good Roads Association,
the primary object of which is to Sc
cure better recognition for that sec
tion of the state in the budget of the
proposed third state highway bond
issue The sentiment of the meeting
was that northern California should
present a united front when claims
for highway construction were put
before the legislature at the present
seccion.
A resolution was adopted by which
the association demands that the
proposed bond issue shall specify
the particular projects on which the
proceeds are to be used, and shall set
forth the amount of money to be ex-
pended on each project, the cost Of
the project to be set apart as a defi-
mite fund, and the bonds to specify
how the proceeds of the bonds are to
be applied.
The resolution also asks that any
surplus existing after construction OF
a project to be turned into the gen.
eral state highway fund, and that
any deficit be paid from this fund.
The bond issue is also to provide
margin of safety to take care of un-
der-estimates.

Secretary Of State
Becomes Governor

Ben w. Olcott, once appointed and
twice elected secretary of state, is
now governor of Oregon, having
succeeded to that office by the pro-
vision of the constitution of the
state, upon the death of Governor
Withycombe Monday night. BY the
constitution Mr.. Olcott holds both
offices of governor and secretary of
state. He is the states 18th gover-
nor.
BY being thrust suddenly into the
executives chair, Mr.. Olcutt will
have heavy task at the start in the
consideration of all bills passed By
the recent legislature that had not
been finally disposed of by Cover
nor Withycombe. A further duty
will be the appointment of several
officers and members of boards or
commissions created by the assem-
bly,. He will have authority to turn
out of office the appointees of Gov.
Withycombe, but whether he will
avail himself of this power relative
TO any office is matter Of conjec-
ture.
Under the constitution Secretary
Olcott will not serve as governor
thru the entire unexpired term of
Governor Withycombe, but only un-
til January 1, 1921. Either he must
he elected to succeed himself or an
other elected in his place at the gen.
oral election of November, 1920.
Should Mr.. Olcott choose to hold the
office of secretary of state and gov
ernor, he will have two votes as a
member of the state board of con-
troll and will control all actions Of
that board. Secretary Olcott was
candidate for the Republican guber-
material nomination in the primary
election last May, but Governor
Withycombe defeated him and other
aspirants.

Sian Of Times In Sunday Sports.


This is the Interpretation which The
New York Times puts upon an ADDRESS
by Bishop Frederick Burgess OF the
Episcopal Diocese Of Long Island, N.
Y, delivered at the fiftieth anniversary
of the diocese, May 20. In his sermon,
says The Times:
Bishop Burgess said the change In
the great cities had resulted in an ut
ter change in the popular attitude to-
ward Sunday.
"The recent act Of the legislature
legalizing certain forms Of public ana
money making amusements on sun
day." he said, "is a sign of the time.
The time is fast approaching when the
church is to be weighed in the balance
by the new age. ~
"Stop thinking about fifty years ago
and bemoaning changed conditions.
The old period is gone. We must go
forward and meet the era. The church
is to be tried. II these buildings OF
God are left unused save by few old
women and children. then the socialist
will order them taxed as an encum-
brance to the city's growth, and the So
cialist will be right.
'"rhe church must accept the chai-
lenge and pick up the steel gauntlet.
It must show it has q part to play In
the national development. Mighty
changes have come in mems estimate
of religion thru the ex1gencies Of war
which brought in bold relief the stern
realities Of life None the less, men
have been yeArning and waiting and
praying that they might hear the voice
Of the Son Of God and live"

land sneeuIation in Iowa.

In Iowa the speculation in farm
lands has reached such lengths that
the bankers are beginning to take a
hand. They are notifying the enter
prising gentlemen who are attaching
themselves to pieces Of rich soil by
means of shoe strings thai n" credit
will be extended in the future to car
nv out these operations. The same
course will be followed sooner or later
in Nebraska. Lands are going. up here
quite as rapidly as in Iowa and feel
ing exists among the SPECTATORS that
no matter how much good farm may
cost. IT can be sold at an advance In
= few weeks or months. The tempta-
ton to buy on margin therefore is ir-
resistible. Men who buy and pay for.
Nebraska land lose nothing even at
the present prices. The speculator
with big deferred payments will soon
er or later come to grief. The bankers
