We have voted dry. tot us give Ihe
plan a fair trial; It may be better than
you think.
Don't you think that eastern people
will think JuBt as much of us? ,
Who Is to blame?
Wallowa county protests to be con
tent The majority over there was In
excess of that of the previous election.
THE DALLES IS WET.
The prohibition wave sweeps on and
on. Probably 20 of the S3 counties In
the stnte have gone dry. Will the
consumption of liquor be decreased?
We shall see what we shall see. ;
From Troutdale to the Snake river,
along Jus T. R. & N.. The Dalles, wll
be for two years the only place on

wash the dust out of his throat with
anything stronger than water,
he understands the wink to give the
drug clerk! ,
Think of Pendleton with.no saloons!
Think of Old Umatilla, at one time the
largest city between The Dalles and
Cheyenne, with no thirst parlors!
How will It affect those towlis? Walt
and see. But the Optimist opines that
there will be no decrease In the num
ber of -drug stores In either place.
The Dalles Optimist.
We shall take particular pleasure In
reporting the progress of our Colum

be astounding.

The people of Oregon have by their
votes gone on record as being willing
to support the University of Oregon.
This Is as It should be. There should
never have been any question about
this. Oregon taxpayer have always
been In favor of supporting her educa
tional Institutions and her cltliens see
no reason why at this time any change
.should be adopted along the lines of
curtailment of school appropriations.
Oregon citizens believe that the best
educational advantage are none too
good for her young men and women,
and Ihe Oregon taxpayer Is willing to
fool the bill.
It seems that It Is an nhsnluts neces
sity that the French people break
loose with sums sort of a scandal
about every so often. French army
circle enn mout always be depended
upon to furnlxh material for a pub
lic uproar when all other sources fall.
The new officers will soon take
their ponttlnns. The men elected are
all good men, and there is no question
but that county affairs will be prop
rly conducted. , The officers e'ected
are the people's choice, nnd thereforo
the people must be satisfied.

produce.. ' While the score . may be
somewhat lower than It was In 1101
at Atsrtim, owing to' 'changed condi

to men In Portland where he had be
gun life anew and was swinging big
financial deals. Anderson severely ar
raigned uweoi tor homing a crime
committed 21 years ago, over Evans'

Attorney Rutth for the defense,
fiercely grilled Evans, declaring the

beep's clothing. .
While the arguments were being
made today, Owens filed a civil suit
against Evans to recover 15818 which
