ARE PLANNING CAMPAIGN Encouraged by Recent Elections, Which Make Seven-Elevenths ol State Dry, Anti-Saloon league Hopes for Further Victories. Of the 28 counties in Oregon where prohibition was at Issue in the election of June 1, 21 were voted dry, and seven will remain wet. It will thus be seen that seven-elevenths of the counties of the state are now dry, there being S3 counties in all. The counties now dry are: Benton, Crook, Douglas. Gilliam, Grant, Jackson, Jose phine, Klamath, Lincoln, Lane, Linn, Malheur, Morrow, Polk, Sherman, Tilla mook, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, "Wheeler and Yamhill. Rev. E. Nelson Allen, chairman of the caused a revision of sentiment In the minds of speculators who had assumed a period of exemption for corporations. This feeling was responsible In part for the sharp reaction in prices. There was per ceptible also some revision of opinion of the effects to be looked for from the oper ation of the new currency law. The pro visions of the law were pointed out at first as serving -to relieve , the United States Treasury from some of its re sponsibility for making the customary provision for meeting the Fall stringency of the money market. As the running deficit in the government revenues keeps the Treasury cash resources drained, the question of resources to put into the Autumn money market threatened some difficulties. On the other hand, the financial dis trict was somewhat concerned over the assumption that a form of taxed currency might be issued to meet the ordinary needs of expansion in the crop moving period and not reserved for such exi gencies as those which developed last Fall. Such an assumption was regarded as involving a possible threat of In flation which might precipitate a senti ment of distrust among foreigners and send American securities home to this market. WOOIi SAL-ES HEIjD AT VALE Prices Range From 10 3-4 to 1 4 1-8 Cents Another June 23. VALE, Or.; June 7. (Special.) A very successful wool sale was held- at Vale Friday, 400.0(0 pounds being sold, at prices ranging from 10 to U cents. About 20 buyers were here from outside, coming in on special train. In all 14 clips were sold. Twelve heavy clips were not sold for lack of time. The successful bidders were nine in number, Dufour, Frankenstein, Orcutt, Cummins', Cosh land, Kuhn, Greene. Moody and Judd. Another wool sale will be held at Vale June 23, at which time there will be on hand 23 clips of woo, aggregating 800, 000 pounds. i BUILDING GOES ON Permits for More New Struc tures Are Taken Out. TRANSFERS FALL BEHIND Subject of Street Improvements to Receive Full Consideration at Mass Sleeting' at Empire Thea ter Thursday Xlght. Last week the transfers of realty re corded fell off about $10,000 a day, making an average of $40,000. in comparison with THE NEW BUILDING BUILT FOR CHINESE TENANTS, CORNER OF NORTH FOURTH AND, EVERETT STREETS. -V 5 v t Ki L ;JMf f rife state headquarters committee of the Ore gon Anti-Saloon League, said last night the league is planning to put the prohibi tion question up to the electors of the entire state two years hence. He said no meeting of the officers or members of the league had been called since the election, but that a meeting will be called tomor row, when the plans for a rousing two year campaign, terminating at the gen eral election of 1D10, will be outlined. "Twenty-two counties of the state are now dry, besides a number of precincts in other counties, so that we feel safe In putting the question up to the voters of the state. In seven counties where we secured a vote on the prohibition ques tion by petition, the wets carried. These counties were: Clackamas, Cos, Harney, Lake. Marion, Wasco and Washington. In Coos " and Clackamas counties the wets carried by majorities of 3S and 60 respectively. Only small majorities for the saloon interests were noted in Lake and Harney counties as well. "The saloon interests filed petitions in seven counties, placing the question on the ballot. These counties were: Lincoln, Lane, Linn. Sherman, Tillamook, Wal lowa and Yamhill. These counties were voted dry In 1906. along with Benton County. Apparently the saloon men thought it was no use to attempt to carry Benton County, so no vote on the ques tion was taken there this year. They lost the vote of every one of the counties which they had hoped to gain; in fact, the majorities against the liquor Interests increased at this election rather than diminished. 'The tide has turned in St. John. That town will be dry for the next two years, along with precinct 89. University Park. It was voted wet at the election in 1907. Fatrview has also carried dry. Besides these precincts in Multnomah County, five precincts In Washington County, and four precincts in Astoria have been won over to prohibition. The foreign quarter of Astoria was cleaned up two years ago, and this year what was known as '"Swill town" has beep rid of its saloons. This portion of the city is outside the foreign quarter. "Besides the showing made against the saloons, the Reddy bill has been de fected, having favorable majorities in Multnomah and Baker counties only. The majority In the former county is 764. and in Baker County very small. Every other county of the state has rolled up majorities against the bill, so that It is probably defeated by more than 10,000 votes." WALL STREET EASIER NOW Bigh of Relief Goes Up When Con gress Quits the Capitol. NEW YORK, Juno 7. The early strength and the latter unsettlement in the market last week were attributed to the culmination of some of the Influences relied on to advance the prices and. the development of some doubtful factors in the situation. The conclusion of the ses sion of Congress with the enactment of an emergency currency law was made the occasion lor quite a demonstration in the stock market. Such a movement had become almost a fixed tradition in the stock market with the professional ele ment since the era when control and reg ulation of corporation affairs has become a permanent subject of legislative-attention. The adjournment of Congress Is regarded from the point of view of that element as a promise of surcease from threatened activities which are viewed with more or less nervous apprehension by security holders. The reports later in the week of fur ther prosecution in contemplation against the Standard Oil Company and of pos sible fines running to a maximum even greater than those in the former buUs, TRACK AND FIELD STARS CLEVER EXTRIES IX BIG PORT IjAXD MEET. Saturday's Performances on Poor Course Show High Class of Ath letics on Pacific Coast. General satisfaction is the result of the Pacific Northwest amateur athletic field and track meet held In Portland Satur day under the auspices of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. All of the events were conducted in schedule order and with no unnecessary delays, such as usually mar competitions of this char acter. The results easily demonstrate that the Pacific Coast possesses many high-class athletes, and many of those who won seconds and thirds, and even some who were unplaced, showed them selves to be capable performers. Multnomah Club was represented by the largest number of entries, and all of them did well. Considerable glory Is also due the University of Oregon, for that institution was represented by four men. each of whom gained one or more points, giving the team second place. The Olympic Club, with three men, took third place, and the Seattle Athletic Club, with four entries, captured fourth place. The mile run was the closest contest in the distance events, for Davolt won out over Clark, of Seattle, by the smallest of margins. Dorrls, a high school boy from Lafayette, Or., took third place by a beautiful spurt. There were five start ers in the mile, but Gammie, of Multno mah, dropped out during the fourth lap. rtuston's remarkable showing in the 100-yard dash was a source of great de light to the many ex-University of Ore gon students at the meet. When the Eu gene star beat both Smithson and Ger hardt in the short sprint their enthusiasm knew no bounds. Moon, another Oregon man, took third place in the 220-yard dash, while Huston scored an additional three points for the varsity by his second in the low hurdles. Kuykendall and Zacharias were the other point-winners for Oregon, and their performances helped the state collegians to acquire sec ond place in the meet. Director E. E. Morgan, of the Multno mah Club, expresses his appreciation of the assitance rendered the club by the officials, and desires to thank the public for liberal patronage of the games. When the time for track athletics arrives 'next year Multnomah expects to have Its field completed, and when the athletes assem ble for the meet at that time they will be afforded an opportunity of "performing on the finest stadium in America.

No transfer was recorded of an unusually heavy amount, but several were put on record with nominal value stated, and this unfortunate system deprives the county of accurate statistics and looks bad to outsiders. The report from the Building Inspector's office showed 62 permits issued last week with the total estimated cost of the build ings to be erected of $117,000. This week will have the total swelled in one item of $73,000 for the Good Samaritan Hos pital building, work on which is to start today. Plans are being prepared by Bennes, Tobey & Hendricks for the warehouse building of the BIumauer-Frank Drug Company, to be built at Seventh and Everett streets. The plans will be ready about July 1 and work is expected to start soon after that date. Ten permits were issued in May for new residences in St. John. The cost of these residences averages about $1500 each. It is expected to start work on the Y. M. C. A. building today. The contractor, J. R. Bowles, is having material delivered at the site. Sixth and Taylor streets. The expectation is to have the building ready for occupancy in October, 1909. R. H. Thomson's illustrated lecture at the Empire Theater Thursday night prom ises to result In an active movement in this city toward better streets. Mr. Thomson succeeded in having the streets of Seattle improved in a modern manner, and In telling how that was accomplished he will, no doubt, suggest to Portland citizens how they may profit by the ex perience of the Puget Sound City. If the meeting Thursday night proves as successful as is now promised, doubtless it will be the initiation of a series of meetings on the subject of street-making and it is hoped it will result in united efforts to bring about a reform that has been recognized for years as essentia' to the proper improvement of the city. " Foundations are about laid for the 100x100 brick building for A. Fleshman at Fourth and Flanders streets. The build ing is to be four stories and Is intended to be rented out to Chinese tenants. Work on the foundations for the Burk-hart-Cadwell building on Second street, near, Alder, is about finished and will be ready for the bricklayers this week. The south part of the party wall joining the Gerlinger building on the corner Is being built. Three lots in Irvington were reported sold last Friday by C. E. Fields & Com pany to buyers who are to build at once. One residence Is estimated to cost $5000 and the other two $4000 each. The Dammeler building on Fourth street, running from Everett to Flanders, is under roof, and work is being rushed on the interior. The building is 200x100 and is to be tenanted entirely by Chinese. Architect Otto Kleeman will have plans ready for bids Saturday for the four-flat building for Simon Harris to be erected on Hoyt street, near Twenty-second. W. B. Grace, of Baker City, has pur chased from Fletcher Linn the full lot and three-story brick building on First street, between Taylor and Salmon, for $45,000. The premises are rented to a fur niture firm and bring a good interest on the purchase price. Ion Lewis recently went to Astoria to examine the foundation work put in for the Weinhard-Astoria Hotel, for which his firm of architects made the drawings, and will have charge of the construction.

Mr. Lewis expresses himself as well sat isfied with the work so far done and says the structure will be continued as rapidly as possible. The trustees of the Welnhard estate, who are having the hotel built, have instructed the architects to make everything strictly first-class. The old brick buildings on the Moy Back Hin property at Second and Yamhill streets have been .torn down and excava tions for the new building to be erected on the site will be started this week.

The building is to be of stone and will be two and one-half stories in height. After some months' work, repairs and alterations on the Perkins Hotel are about finished, the interior having been reconstructed. I DISTRUSTS LEGISLATURES Writer Prefers People's Choice In Electing United States Senator. OLTMPIA, Wuh., June 6. (To the Editor) Referring to an article, in last Thursday's Orejfonian on "Iffnore Statement No. 1," I wish to say: United Stmea Senator Fulton"s statement that the Oregon Legislature Is not bound to obey the will of the Oregon voters, is like a lawyer's pleading trying to de teat justice In defending a guilty criminal. It is tmfl that the ' Constitution of the United States commends the State Legisla tures to elect the United States Senators. Nevertheless, we have had the disgraceful spectacle that some Legislatures, on account of political corruption or ring rule, have failed to exercise their high privilege their .duty to their state or worse than this, have sold the ses in the united Sta-tea Senate to the highest bidder. To do away with these conditions, some Btates have adopted the law to let the voters decide who shall be United States Senator and wherever the Legislature elects the United states Senator the State legis lators. are Instructed, elected, accordingly. Therefore. & Legislator elected In favor or against "Statement No. 1" condition must vote as he promised or gave to understand he would vote. The oath of office does not require a Legislator (or a United States Senator for that matter) to put aside the state law and vote for a man of the dom inant party or vote on party lines no and never. But it requires him the servant of the people to fulfill the condition of his election. If he can honestly do so. Tn case of an honest change of heart, he should either resign his position or vote according to his election promises, after explaining the fact.' Having more confidence In Governor Chamberlain than in the choice of the Re publican party. Mr. Cake, the Oregon voters decided that Governor Chamberlain shall be United States Senator feeling that he would fill the placa as United States Sen ator eervlnsr the Oregon people better than anybody else. Senator T'ulton Included. That the Oregon voters were right in their judgment of Senator Fulton, shows Senator Fulton's advice: "Don't do what the people want you to do, but do what you the people's servant please." B. BLTJHM. Tomorrow and Wednesday will posi tively be the last days for discount on West 8ide gas bills. Portland Gas Com EASTERN PEOPLE ARE KEPT WELIi INFORMED. David S. Stearns Returns From Trip Satisfied This City Is Best on the Coast. David S. Stearns returned last week from a trip through Southern and East ern States, having been absent several weeks. He was summoned to Washing ton as a witness in the Hyde-Benson land suits and embraced the opportun ity to take his family on a jaunt through the South en route. After passing through California, he visited points of interest in New Mex ico and Arizona, going on to El Paso, Texas, and from there to New Orleans. In referring to his trip Saturday, Mr. Stearns said: ""On n-.y trip I was first Impressed with how well Portland is known in the different parts of the country I vis ited. On the trains, when I would in form chance acquaintances that I lived in Portland, the inevitable response was, 'Well, sir, you are to be congratu lated; I consider Portland the best city on the Pacific Coast.' "People everywhere appeared to be well-informed concerning our city and its advantages, and my boy one day came running to me with a pamphlet he picked up in the reading-room of a hotel, saying in great glee, 'Oh, see here; they have books telling all about Portland." That indicates how well the city is being advertised. Down In the South, from New Orleans over to At lanta. Ga., I found the people not so well-informed about Oregon, but from there on to Washington I was surprised at how well we are known. "I find considerable improvement in the East in financial circles over the time of my last trip, about a year ago. At that time men of means talked and acted as though they felt impending troubles. Now the troubles have come and gone and financiers begin to talk hopefully of a complete restoration of confidence. "I return home more firmly convinced than ever that Portland Is in better shape in a business and financial way than the cities of the East, and offers more opportunities for the safe and profitable investment of capital. We are tardy in pushing forward our street improvements, but tnat will come In good time." Mr. Stearns has been engaged In real estate business for many years and has been handling inside property. He is one of the property-owners who believe that the business districts of the older parts of the city are extending south ward, or at least the streets leading in that direction will be coming into the market before a great while for retail business houses. Some months ago he erected a four story brick building on Fourth and Yamhill in evidence of his confidence in the early advancement of the city In that district.
