Since the sent.ment of the Ixx al Optlonlxts In this county Is known to be not radical, it Is not believed any effort will be made to suppress the saloons In Wards One and Two of Oregon City, in which are located all the liquor houses of the city. At the June election, Local Option wa- defeated in Ward One, In which eight of the city's twelve sa loons are located, by a vote of 101 to 136, while Ward Two, In which are located four liquor houses, was carried by Local Option by the narrow margin of 116 to 113. While It has not been Anally decided. an effort may be made to force the sa loons out of Ward Two at the election In November. If such an attempt Is made, It will be vigorously resisted by the saloon Interests. All the trains of the S. P. R. R Co. stop at the grounds during the week.
