Sunday night at about 9:30 thou sands of wild ducks went over the city, flying westward. Altho dark ness prevented their being seen, at intervals for a long time their "honk honk" could be heard. Judging from the noise there were many flocks. Mr. and Mrs. William Moehnke and little daughter, Catharine, who have been spending the summer at Eaele Creek, as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Glover, were in this city on Monday on their return home from Beaver Creek, where they have been for sev eral days as guests of Mr. and Mr&.

Should a member of the State Edi torial Association ever come before Judge Campbell for sentence the judge would probably sentence him for lite and longer if he lived. His honor was an invited euest of the newspa per men to Estacada and the power plant at Kiver Mill, but through some mistake in orders the special train did not stop at Tenth street, where the ludtre was waiting, and the story goes that in disgust he went to a lunch counter and ate liver and bacon. A gentleman reported to the Cour ier that in a walk of less -than three miles on the S. P. tracks Monday morning he met fourteen hoboes. He said some of the men were without any blankets and one without shoes; that they had torn down ana used tor firewood several rods of the fencing; that they begged potatoes and corn of the residents, which they roasted at the fire. The men were all going south he said, and that probably during the day hundreds would pass down the railroad, some on foot, and many stealing rides on trains. Building Lasting Roads' Contractor Cromer has a large of men, teams and machinery at work on the, county road near Oak Grove. Bv the middle of next week he ex pects to have the work completed. Mr. uromer nas Dunt aoout z mues oi una road this past summer between Oak Grove and Gladstone. It is classed as the Roxal Bitulitic, and consists Oi 16 ft, wide of the best possible kind of road bed. The sub grade is first graded and rolled firm with a 12 ton roller, then the first course oi 4 inch rock is laid and rolled to a 4 inch thickness, then a coat of medium or 2 in. rock is spread and rolled, then coated with heavy asphalt oil. An other coat of medium rock and oil and then another coat of screenings well rolled and broomed until farm and smooth, under a 12 ton rolled. This makes 8 inches of rocit, oil and screen ings in the road bed. Judge Ander son has several times visited this road work while under construction and Engineer Hobson- gives the different roads his personal attention every day. Overseer Paul Rothe is inspec tor on this job and it is his duty to see that the work is not slighted; the ontractor is also desinous of making a good firm road and this piece of work will stand for years as a sample of one of the many pieces of prac tical roads that have been built in this county the past year.

The Prohibition amendment should pass at the coming election because it will help to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, happinses and pros perity of the people and secure the blessings ot liberty trom drunkeness to posterity. rrohibition will prohibit if officials perform their sworn duty. If we can pass a prohibition law we can quite as well elect officials who will enforce this law. the reason above all others why this law should pass is that it will mean the betterment and uplifting of humanity, although from a material standpoint we would also be the gainers as some of the follow ing facts will prove: We pay out annually in Uregon ten million dollars for intoxicants and the revenue from the liquor traffic is only nine hundred thousand dol lars. Oregon spends two million dollars a year to keep up peace of ficers, courts, trials, jails, prisons and asylums, and court records prove that three-fourths of the business transacted by all these together is derived from the liquor traffif c, and the taxpayer foots theb ills while the liquor dealers pocket the profits. How is that from a business point of view? But we need not go to statistics to be convinced. No one heed go very far from home to see for himself the evil results of drink and that the liquor traffic is respons ible for broken unhappy and impover ished homes and endless number of crimes What about the- "personal liberty" of the man who can "take a drink or leave it alone ? ? ? I say then it is his duty to leave it alone for the sake df his weaker brother who can not resist the temptation if he woulu, and who exercises his liberty to an excess that his wife and children and whoever he come s in contact with are deprived of their personal liberty.

FACTORY ON PREMISES "I grind my own lenses." anti-Drohibitionists in regard to every individual exercising self-control and overcoming temptation. Do they really mean that it is neccessary to have saloons in oraer to icarn sen government? I say "How dare we place such temptations in the way of our youth?" We would not think of trying to imbue our children with ideas of self-government by sur round them with all sorts of destruct ive things, but raher cosntructive. There are enough unavoidable dan gers,, materially as well as morally, whereby self-control may be practic ed. We are careful to remove all ob structions from our highways. How absurd it would be to leave obstructions- in our streets and say that people should exercise their skill in getting around them. On the moral highway, the saloons form a chain of obstructions which prove disas trous to our youth. Remove the sa loons and give us the constructive institutions in their place. It will mean economy in every senses, where as now the saloon stands for the greatest waste, of our nation both materially and morally. One of the best arguments I have seen for prohibition is the Septem ber number of "Lend a Hand," the magazine published and edited by the inmates of the State prison at Sa lem. In the three thousand copies sent out over the state in the interest of prohibition the prisoners, three fourths of whom are -there on ac count of liquor, make such earnest appeals and state such facts as can not be ignored. Were it in their power to do so they would vote Ore gon dry. ' A great duty lies on the women of the State. It depends greatly on them whether or not the Prohibition amendment passes. What women would vote for an institution that the law says is not a fit place for herself or her children? Let every woman do her duty y going to the pools on Nov. 3 rain or shine and voting 332 X Yes. The results will be as has been proved in other places reduc tion of crime and crime bills, greater prosperity, more life, liberty and hap piness. MRS. KUfjUiKT JUNSKUD. WAS SPLENDID SUCCESS Newspaper Men Loud in Praise of Results of Annual Meeting Here The state editors have come and gone. It was the most successful and best entertained meeting of any of the annual sessions so say the news papermen who attended. There was not a dull minute in the two days session. When the boys were not in executive sessions, they were being entertained and dined j entertained in a beneficial way, shown how paper is made in the big mills here; shown one of the great est water power generating plants in the United States; entertained by the Willamette- Paper Co., the Ore gon City commercial club; by the P. R. L. & P. Co., and the Portland Chamber of Commerce. From every point the meeting was a decided success, and tne oniy re gret is that there was not a larger attendance. Where the next annual session will be held has not yet been decided, but the executive committee will fix for the place and date later on, and it is to be hoped that more of the newspa permen can be interested in the as sociation, and that it may grow to include nearly all the papers of the state. The practical good that may be accomplished from these annual sessions cannot be estimated. Many papers and talks on topics of general interest to the profession were presented and discussed, which resulted in official action by the or ganization. "Editor E. E. Brodie of the Orgeon City Enterprise was elected presi dent of the association for the com ing year; Sam Evans of Klamath Falls vice president and Phil Bates of Portland secretary. A. E. Voor heis of Grants Pass was elected as executive committeeman. The Medford commercial club has ihvited the association to hold Hi next session at Crater Lake, as guests of that organization. Oregon City, 'and those who help ed to make the meeting here so fine a success, will no doubt find that the entertainment was a good invest ment and they will get far more than value received in publicity in the many papers of the state.

IT IS Will you try it? 5 Cents a Loaf ALL GOOD GROCERS LOG CABIN BAKING CO Portland, Oregon U'REN OR WITHYCOMBE? A Labor Union View of the Guberna torial Situation The following, analysis of the gu bernatorial situation is written for the Portland Labor Press by Edgar W. Stahl, a student of economics. He gives figures to prove that the con test for governor lies between U'Ren and Withycombe, which are decidedly interesting to those who make and unmake governors by figures of the past. What is y'Ren's strength as a can didate for Governor? In 1910 the county home rule tax amendment was adopted by a vote of 44,171, equal to 36 per cent of the whole number of ballots cast: in 1912, 47,158 men voted against the repeal of this measure, equal to 33 per cent of the whole number of ballots at that presidential election. The $1500 home tax exemption amendment is much more popular than the 'county home rule tax measure ever was. Most people who vote for the $1500 exemption will vote for U'Ren and they will be more than 33 per cent of all the people who vote. On that basis, if the percentage of the registration voting this year is equal to that of 1912, U'Ren will have more than 72,600 votes out of the 216,000 ballots that will probably be cast. This is on the basis of not less than 33 per cent, which is the minimum vote for tax measures with which he has been identified, except only the single tax. A careful estimate of what he will get from different factions gives him even greater strength. The 47,150 men who voted against repeal of the county home rule amendment in 1912 probably have 20,000 women voters in their families who are like ly to vote for U'Ren, because of his people's power record and the $1500 home tax exemption measure this year; he will get much the larger part of the "dry" vote and should receive not less'than 10,000 from this source; the Socialist element will certainly prefer him to either Smith or Withycombe, and he should get at least half as many from them as voted for the Socialist ticket in 1912, which would add 8,000 more; U'Ren should get at least 7,000 from the independent registration; from the Progressives who know Gill cannot be elected; from the Democrats who are dissatisfied with Smith as West's legatee, and from the miscellaneous registration U'Ren ought to have at least 5,000 more. Not all the women in the families of the home rule tax supporters will vote for U'Ren and some of the men are counted twice in the above esti mate because part of them are regis tered among the Progressives, So cialists,. Prohibitionists and Indepen dents, but allowing 20,000 off for these still leaves U'Ren with 77,000. A vote for Law Doctor U'Ren is the only possible chance to defeat Horse Doctor Withycombe. What is the strength of the Dem ocrat, Doctor Smith? The straight Democratic vote in 1912 was not quite 25 per cent of this whole number of votes cast; this was the vote for Justice Slater, their candidate for the supreme court, and it ia- not likely to be a greater per centage this year, and that would give Dr. Smith 54,000; but there must be taken from this the dissatisfied Democrats, probably not less than one-fifth, which would bring Dr. Smith's vote from his Democratic party down to 43,000; for good meas ure it may be admitted that he will have 45,000. Democratic votes. He must have at least 30,000 more than his party vote before he equals U'Ren. Where can he -get them? It It is not at all likely that he can fool 15,000 "dry" and 20,000 "wets" into believing that he agrees with both of them. I have allowed Dr. Smith his greatest possible strength. He certainly cannot expect to get more than half of the straight sa loon vote from , Dr. Withycombe; neither is it reasonable to suppose that he can get all the "dry" votes that do not go to U'Ren, for Withy combe will certainly ge t some of them. Clearly this election is between Withycombe and U'Ren. One or the other will certainly be elected. A vote for the Democrat is half a voto for Dr. Withycombe. Which do you want?
