Austin, Texas, July 14. Imagtna a
"dry" Texas n arid desert stretching
frora Texarkana to El Paso and from
Beaumont to the Panhandle 365,000
square miles of untrrlgated gloom,
with never an oasis on all its dreary
wastes a Texas given over to the po
lite ministrations of the soda fountain
"squirt," with the white-robed dis
penser of good ."red licker," guaran
teed to kill at 40 rods, banished from
its confines, forever.
Tet it is this staggering proposition
on which the democratlo voters of
Texas will vote at a state-wide pri
mary tomorrow and If the question
carries, as appears likely, the legisla
ture must frame up a constitutional
amendment In favor of state-wide pro
hlblttoA to be voted on next year. And
state-wide prohibition In Texas means
something, since It will banish liquor
from a territory 710 miles in extreme
breadth and 620 miles in extreme
length. ' , ,
Considering the matter by and
large, It la small wonder that the
threat of prohibition has become a

burning issue in the Lone Star state,
and that the adherents and opponents
of the measure have lined up for one
of the greatest political battles in
Texas history. Tomorrow's primary,
as the first' preliminary skirmish In
the warfare, follrws a heated cam
paign, which is only a foretaste of
what will come if the question is put
up to the legislature and the voters
at large. The, state Is aroused as it
has never, been be Bore and the fight
will be to the knife and the knife to
the hlX
Although the vote at the primary Is
not legally binding on the legislature,
It will be in effect an Instruction to
that body to pass a prohibition amend
ment to the constitution for submis
sion to the people at the next elec
tion. It requires a two-thirds vote to
pass such an amendment, but the leg
islature would hardly Ignore the wish
es of the people expressed at the pri
mary. .
Prohibition In Texas is not a social
or political Issue, as in many south
ern states, but purely a moral one.1
The negro problem has little. If any
thing to dowlth it. Most of the ne
groes of the state are In the eastern
and southeastern sections. Prohibi
tion sentiment Is strong in the north
ern part and antl-prohlbltlon In the
southern part. It has been 10 years
.since a prohibition amendment , was
submitted to the people by the legis
lature. That was In 188S, and It was
dufvated by 100,000 at the polls.
H. Russell, general manager of
the Wilcox Lumber company, this
morning Informed The Observer re
porter that their new mill on Ladd
creek was now nearly completed and
mat tne saws will stait early next
week. The. lake Is full to overflow
ing with splendid yellow pine logs.
Only a few minor pieces of machinery
still require attention and the hum of
Industry will again be heard In Ladd
Canyon. '
Berthu Copple, son of Charles Cop
pie, a former resident of this clty but
now living at Corvallls, Is in the city
the guestof his uncles, Charles and
George Cochran, the attorneys.
Attorney George Cochran, with . his
wife and son, accompanied by Judge
Crawford and wife, are camping on
the Wallowa river. Both gentlemen
will refrain from manufacturing fish
stories long enough to attend the July
term of the Wallowa circuit court,
which will convene In Enterprise next
Tuesday." -1

will be pained to learn that he is quite

Gramophone In Ills Office. J at Work Already.
ni.rt,.Atnrnv v s Ivknhoe has San Francisco, July 24. San Fran-
Juat Installed one' of the latest gramo
phones in his office. It is simply a
phonograph with a special mechanism
for the production of records. , For
commercial purposes and office use,
Instead of dictating to a stenographer
the business man talks into the gram
ophone and when the typewriter or
stenographer has leisure, they go to
the rack, take down the record,
place It In the machine and make the
desired copy. These machine are be
coming more and more In use, but this
Is the first machine to be Installel In
this county.
It Is a great time-saver and, whllo
quite expensive, soon pays for the
original investment. ' . '

. z. carbine is shipping a carload
of cherries to the cannery at Salem.
This morning, when the westbound
passenger train was at X the depot,
many passengers were attracted by
the sight of the several wagon loads
of cherries being loaded Into the cars
and they wanted to buy some. Mr.
Carbine, who Is somewhat of a boost
er himself, saw an opportunity of cre
ating favorable comment toward our
country, and in reply as to the price.
said: "Take off your hat and I will
fill It for 10c. Of course, he gave
them about 25 cents worth of cher
rles, but he considered It good adver
tising and when two or three Merry
Widow hats were passed up he held
his nerve and filled them on the same
basis as the others. It was a real
cherry bargain day for the travelers,
and they were hot slow in embracing
It.
A NARROW ESCAPE. -
Block Signal Attendant Cornea Near
Being Run Over by Freight.
This morning while N. R. Wood was
riding on a track speeder near the
steel bridge this side of Perry, he was
startled to discover that he was about
to come In collision with an east-
bound freight train. He saw the train
Just in time to jump from his little
car, but not In time to either save the
speeder or the load of fresh batter-
lea. In fact, he only escaped being
struck, by a fraction of a second. The
car was wrecked and the batteries
demolished. The engineer saw that he
waa about to run down the speeder
and attempted to bring his train to a
stop, but the distance was too short.
As It was, the train stopped so sud
denly that Conductor W. A. Wade was
nearly thrown through the caboose
window and sustained several severe
cuts upon the arms and shoulder.
AT THE SHERWOOD.
New Pk-tures Plcone Patron All New
and Bright.
The new motion pictures and Il
lustrated songs pleased three well
filled houses last evening. The num
bers had all been well selected, and it
would be difficult to select the feat
ure number, but the Dynamite Duel
would be considered the thriller, and
claimed the undivided attention of the
audience. The situations were dra
matic, but not overdrawn, but excit
ing enough to make the timid ones
shudder and the cool-headed ones "sit
up and take notice." The number,
"The Tiresome Play," waa especially
good, both as regards the comedy,
and from an artlstlo point of view.
Patrons are Invited to notice the splen
did facial expressions exhibited In
this film. It Is a strong piece of act
ing and on which will please each
and every one. Do not fall to sea the
pictures this evening.

Burrowful Event.
The lawn social given by the ladles

plete success In every way. Bcores of
people attended the affair during the
evening and partook of the refresh
ments. The lawn of Mrs. Baker's
home was decorated with Japanese
lanterns and bunting, and presented a
bcstrtlful appearance.
