WOULD PUT STATE
' IN DRY COLUMN
Prohibitionists Seek General
Vote on Liquor Question
in Two Years.
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.

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

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.

$50,000 a day for the preceding five or six
weeks. 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.

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."

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.
