DREAM
Hard to Tell Whether
Reporter or "Fellow1
Had them worst.
' -.i'Say, you Democrat reporter, I
: . wans to ask you something," laid it
follow on tbe street yesterday.
"Yon know Tom Word, Multnomah
: county's sheriff, Is cutting a wide
swath lu Pottland in 'closing down
" gambling, and he bit given it out
T that tbe gamblers have even offered
mm 10,UUU (of course be would re
' fuse that sum if it were offered him)
' to keep hie Bands off. His name has
, become a bouee hold word since the
Fortlai d and other papers have given
lilm so much epaoe and he's about
the biggest map in Oregon. No did
It over ooour to you tht all tuiegjand
stand play of Word's baj no essence
of sincerity on his part and that it is
.. only done for a bl'ndf : .
-You see, if Word's game work
out and be gets allot Eutero Oregon's
sheriffs to adopt bis methods and be
' ba seemingly got in bis mesmerietlo
. work on Baker county's sheriff as a
starter, then Portland will bs the only
plaoe in tbe state, that wilt be wide
open, for , no one who understands
Portland conditions believes that
gambling has stopped, or ever will
stop ii that city.
"The xposition will he on in full
. blast next year and is there anybody
who immagines that Portland will be
i anything but a gambler's paradise at
that timef If Port'and oan have all
tbe towns in tbe state closed wouldn't
. Portland profit by tbe attractions it
5 srill be sble to offer by . b ing opto?

a gime pat uo by Sullivan, Solomon,
Dale, Erioksoo and tome others and
Tom Ward is playing intotbeir hands
. in Hoe style."
, Tbe Democrat man left the wise
' guy above quoted not a little impress-
