MIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES THE WORM TURNS Waves of prosperity, followed by financial depression and sometimes a panic, can be predicted like the weather, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, months in advance. The financial conditions in any locality are due to a greater or less extent to local conditions of course. and for that reason the northwest. Central Oregon included, has been a number of months behind the east and middle west in again feel ing the quickening pulse of com merce. If one can tell anything for sure it seems a safe prediction that this part of the state will feel the great est prosperity during the coming months that it has yet experienced. The wheat crop will be greater than ever before, a3 will all other grains without exception. Hay, while it has been damaged to some extent, will be in greater abundance this autumn than any time during our history. j Grass on the ranges and in the forest reserve will remain green and succulent until the frosts of fall come, and cattle, sheep and horses will return to the foothills i fat, and will find there bunchgrass in great abundance. The operation of the mill at Bend is having an effect upon the pros-1 perity of the country that will be felt throughout the southern part of the country where it is in fact most needed. With all of these things and more in evidence there can be no doubt about the greatly improved conditions for everyone. There is no denying the fact that conditions have been everything but good for the farmers during the past few years. But the change has come. Prices of all crops, animals and in fact every commodity of which this section of the northwest can boast are higher than ever before, ' and the farmer or stockman who j isn't prosperous this year will be j the fellow who has nothing to sell j and there are few indeed of this class. sootlight. Oregon has been dry for more than a half vear, and the results have been more far-reaching than was ever predicted. The united Portland press is busy just now denying a set of statements that were made by friends of the wet interests in California to the effect that conditions in Portland were in jured by the absence of the saloon There are two measures on which the voters will be asked to express an opinion. One is for absolute prohibition, the other pfys the lid off, in a measure at least. If there is an individual in the state, or a community, which has been injured by the dry condition, there might be some argument to return to the old order of things. But there is not. The wet issue is being championed by a committee which at first glance has the appearance of being business men with interests at stake. But we venture the guess that the bills of which there are and will be many, are be ing paid by the liquor interests only. It is simply an effort of a state that is sobering up to again fall off the water wagon, and the answer should be to get out and vote to take away that two-quart shipment each thirty days which would be "tapering off" as the toper would say. This duty will fall largely upon the wives and mothers who are in terested and who should be inter ested above everyone else. Women, register! And on November 7 get out and vote, and vote right on this liquor issue. It is your fljht. Dan Patch, the world famous pacer and record maker, died a few weeks ago. The next day his owner died of the same disease, palpitation of the heart. Practically all of the local laws that are to be voted on in Oregon this year will be fought out in Cen tral Oregon. What is the matter here anyhow? A little damage to alfalfa hay, but a great benefit to many thous ands of acres of grain. Never too much rain in this part of the state- Lake county is voting on a rab bit bounty this fall, too. And the road3 were greatly bene fitted, too, by the rains. WHY BOOZE? The voters are called upon this November to again pass on the matter of prohibition in Oregon. This question seems to be like two gentlemen we could name who are perpetual candidates for presi dent, always trying to keep in the Modern Shoe Repair Shop W. H.
