MODIFIED ACT TO
INCREASE CIDER

While the burden of proof is still
placed on the manufacturer to show
that the beverage was turned over to
TRANSPORTATION companies for consignees
in a non intoxicating state, the Vol
stead Act, according t. notice received
from internal revenue headquarters by
local cider manufacturers, relieves the
manufacturer from further responsible
ity after such delivery. Formerly the
act held the manufacturer responsible
even after cider reached the retailer
As result of the drastic interpretation
Of the law, cider manufacture was
greatly curtailed throughout the North
west.
While c. J. Calains, manager Of the
Hood River Apple Vinegar Co, says
the ruling viii rot change the local
condition greatly, as practically alI
culls would have been used at any
rate, he says the relief Of the manu-
facturer will greatly stimulate cider
manufacture in the large Washington
district, Yakima and Wenatchee.

GAME ASSOCIATION
BANQUET POSTPONED

The Hood River County Game Pro-
tectve Association has cancelled the
annual banquet, set for Friday night
The officials of the organization had
planned China pheasant as the piece de
resistance of the dinner, but Pres
Fredricy declares, the game birds are
not obtainable as a result of the whole
sale slaughter by visiting hunters.
Portland men came here by the
hundreds, -" he says, "and as result it
is difficult to find pheasants now. IN
der protection the handsome fowls
were almost as tame as chickens and
they were killed by the hundreds the
first two days of open season, Those
left have learned to be discreet and
they have either fled to safe retreats
in the high places around the valley or
have sought refuge on orchard places
where shooting is not permitted.
Mr. Fredricy says that the game or
ganization will hold an annual banquet
the first Wednesday night of December
when officers for the ensuing year will
