Hit investigations today will deter mine whether or not he will attempt aneleu.ioa in Baker County Ibis fall on the question. Both ' Huntington and Uurkoo he says are In line for the fight and he will ascertain the deling in Baker city today; .The cold water man is entbuaiatic on 'be subject. He says that Local Option was carried In the state by over 3,000 votes and that It carried in 24 out of the S3 count lee. He claims tint that shows a lnrga sentiment in favor of Local Option. . J . Among otlie things the gladiator against King Al :ohol says; '...', "We will ultimately win throughout the world. No common sense man un perjudiced by business surroundings any longer disputes the damages wrought by the sale and use of intoxl oanta That is conce led. The Intflll gent rumsol er admits it, everybody evi n the man atsggering under its In fluence confeascs it. It will only re quire time The people will have to lie educated to it. It may come slowly -tpi e.i poinis but it will eventually m i verywhere. 1 ' . I found the people at Huntington in lavor nl voting on the question. Yea knowtliat.it only requires a petition signed by one-tenth of the voters of a given precinct or district bas'd on (be vote received by the Sum-erne Judge , in the List election to obtain a vote on tho question. T0 best element i f Huntington are in (avor of voting on the .natter. I also found them of the same mind of Durkee, "You know the result of the election In case the people vote for Local' Option at the eleotion which will take place in November where petitions have been properly filed with the County Clerk, then the county court will declare the giveh dist'icta prohibitory districts and the sale will cesse in the given districts January first . following. Elections will be held both in Hunt ington and Durkee precincts regardless of conclusions that may be reached in Baker . 'if the sentiment in Baker oity war rants It we will nmkj it a county vote. If it does not then we will only apply for elections in precincts where it ie wanted. It Is not the ' policy of the Local Option movement to force it against publio sentiment. If Bentlmenl is not ripe for It in a given precinct. county or District then we will work on the people a while longer and edn cate them up to the point Before we be gin voting. ''To make it plaiD, if we find alter consulting the leading business men and property owners snd citizens of Baker City that thev prefer the liquor tralllo in this ciy, why we will not at tempt to force it upon them.- We know that it is beet to permit the people of given precincts and districts to govern themselves in the matter. In other words, if we should Hud that the tax payers snd good citizens oi Baker City prefer the liquor traffic in its present form fur the time being, we would not go to the country people who generally oppose it and secure the required ten per cent of the voters to sign a retltlon for an election and force Local Option upon Baker City iu this manner. If Local Opt ion is forced upon Baker it will be done by the consent and assist- I anee of the people of Baker themselves. "If we end that the best people of anker favor Locsl Option and that the people of the county also favor it then we will make the electic n cover the county in November and attempt to stop the sale in this territory . "You oannot override public sent! meut, We realize this. If public sen timent is wrong you have to submit to it. You have to wait until it gets right. For instance, if the responsible citizens of Baker think tbattbe present form of liquor traffic Is best then it would be useless to ring in outsiders and force Locsl Option upon them. They would simp'y evade the law by blindtiirers and all manner of devices, nnt if tho people themselves are against it and put it down, then we wonld be safe in nn (lection for It wnulJ result In good and the lawa would be eofrrocd sgainst it. "The officers nre governed by public sentiment. Yon cannot force them to oppose publio sentixent. They sre eleced by the public ai d know wbat the public expects of t em. They do nothing more. 1 he minute they find that those who elected them are opposed to s thing and thsy have a law against that particular thing the officers will quickly enforce the law. "We arevoiug about this ma'ter ays t matic.illy. Not until giv-n territory is ripe will we attempt to force Local Option upon It, " e are out to eventu ally win and when we move we expect to move in the ruht direction. If carry Liorai upturn at a given rolnt We expect to do so by the votea of tho taxpayers ami heat citizens and tben we expect the enforcement of the la by these same voters and oitizens "As to wl.at action will tie taken I the cae of linker will be determined after a general investigation today.' - WILL NOT TACKLB BAKER A number of pmmineut citizens were sen today and it is not believed that a Local Option movement will be begun in this city or agaiust the citv. Owinn t i aaker'a peculiar situation It la not believed tbat public sentiment would favor local Option- It is situ .ted In a mining oonntry where a large olasa drift who r'rlnk and believe In drinking In fact, they would give a town the go by if they could not get a drink In it. Many men so soon as they earn a cer tain amount of money In mining go to the ni arost tswu and have a good time. In doing this their money ia necessari ly divided npone way and another with all the business meu. For this reason it 1s best to have salens and for this reason public sentiment may be con sidered against Local Option. It Is believed that if the matter were left to a vote by the citizens and tax payers of Baker, Looal Option would be defeated, and this being the case it would not be proper for outsiders to force Loral Option on the city. IHi believed that the Local Option leaders will look at the matter from this point of view under their theory of Ugh ing liquor and leave Baker In bar present condition nntil some fu'ure time when sentiment may change.

"bold by Newlin Drug Co, A Correction The statement has been made that 1' expect to remove the bodies now re posing in the old cemetery and plaue them in a trench. I wish lo correct Ibis statement. It Is not my intention to do this. I intend to remove all bodies of the unknown and the unclaimed and those whose friends and relatives are finan cially unable to do so, and place them In u respectable cemetery wbloh is 5roperly oated for and maintained, 'heie will ba no rude treatment, or desecration of any aort accorded the remains. So far as possible all bodies will be identified and markersset up at the graves.' The removal of the bodies from tills cemetery is made nocessary by the fact that the laud adjoining this cemetery is to be sold as building lots and the said property is absolutely un saleable so long as this tract remains a cemetery. Parties who are able to re move their dead' are requested to do so at once as the tract is to be cleared, of all bodies within the next sixty days. . Dr. Geo. O'Connor.
