CITY
STAGNANT
PROHIBITION FIGHT
Walla Walla Paralyzed, With

Town Goes "Dry."
PETITION TO BE ATTACKED
Saloon Element Allegro 300 Names
at Least Are Irregular Friends
of Liquor Sellers Worried Over
Source Opposition's Funds.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 18.
Special. ) According to many business
men. especially the real estate dealers,
business in this city is at a standstill,
awaiting the reult of the fight now on
in an eJfort to put the 35 saloons of
the town out of business. If the saloon
men make good the boast of Alfred Bach
told. Councilman, -wholesale liquor d. aler
and chairman of the Liquor Dealers'
committee, appointed to wage the fight,
the issue will never come before the
people of this city on December 20, as
prayed for in the petition filed with the
City Clerk. T. D. S. Hart, to which were
attached 694 nanys.
In his statement. Mr. Bachtold said
that fully 300 names were irregular and
the liquor men wonld prove It. This
would reduce the figure far below the
necessary number required, which Is also
in doubt.
After a meeting of the directors of the
Washington Hotel Company, which was
about to commence the erection of a
new J125.000 hotel, it was announced that
all work would cease pending the out
come of the fight and that if the town
went dry no hostelry would be bijjlt.
Following this came the announcement
from Arthur Harris, proprietor of The
D acres Hotel, to the effect that he would
make no improvements on his property
if the saloons were voted out. Harris
was having plans drawn up to build a
fourth story on his hotel besides putting
In a new front.
In the face of this there are many
business men taking a hand In the fight
against the saloon and today the forces
seem equally divided. All are willing
to admit the campaign will be the most
bitter in the history of local polities.
Both factions are determined and confi
dent of victory and have entered Into
t the contest with spirit.
Petition to Be Attacked.
haDoened thick and fast
i- .v.. ..nl. of the "drva" since their
first meeting in the T. M. C. A. Sunday.
October 7. On the following day peti
tions were circulated and were filed with
the City Clerk on Wednesday. October
20. Not until today did the saloon men
make a definite statement that they
would first attack the petition and if
unsuccessful, would carry the matter into
court, alleging the last general election
was not the last city election, as Is held
" by thr "drya." but the last atate and
county election. If they are successful
in the latter move, the anti-saloon ele
ment does nof have sufficient signaturea
0 to its petition. "
The law reads that the petition for a
aneclal election should be signed by 30
rer cent 'of me number of voters voting
it the 'last general election. ' T hen
the petitions were first circulated, the
dries- thought they were obliged to
secure 7S names. S per cent of the
.-number voting at the last atate and
county election in November. 19. J.
C Hurspool. Assistant District Attor
ney who is a member ofthe Judiciary
1 committee of the local optionlsts. held
'. the last citv election, at which only
t 1653 votes were cast, was the last gen
: eral election. After the petition was
r filed. Cltv Clerk Hart called on Oacar
I Cin, Cltv Attorney, for nis opinion,
f a:id he upheld the decision of his asso
' ciate. who rendered his opinion as a
; member of the Judiciary committee of the
i prohibitionists.
: Namu to Be Gone Over.
I jn an interview today Mr. Bachtold
said: "At ftrst we intended to let the
t business men of the city fight our fight.
Several have requested that we assume
I this work and at a meeting of the liquor
I dealers' committee we decided to enter.
: More than likely our attorneys, Sharp
; stein & Sharpetein. will start going over
J the long list of names today. We expect
; that fully )0 will be stricken from the
; list, for I believe the Irregular ones
; amount at least to that number. To my
knowledge some did not know what they
' were signing when they attached their
j signature, and one name, that of W. B.
Scrivner, was either forged or he was
made the victim of a practical Joker.
Even if the last general election was
t the last city election and we succeeded
; In disqualifying 300 signers, there will
1 be a shortage of 102 names. If we can
; not reduce the list sufficiently to knock
out the petition in this manner we will
; carry the matter Into Superior Court
; and there fight it out on the grounds
; that the last general election, as termed
; in the law. is the last state and county
J election. If we win this point, which
would require 730 signatures, there lack
3i signers to put the issue before the
t people."
When asked what tbe saloon men would.
t do if the petition was allowed to stand
T and the election called for. Mr. Batch
, told said: "We will put up a fight, the
'. like of which was never witnessed in
" this part of the state. Our fight will
2 be a clean one and above board, but
we will go in to win and win we tUll."
Minister Kept Out of Fight.
The opposition - asserts it has struck
the first blow and is awaiting action
by the "Wets." An efforj; is being
made to keep the ministers of the city
'.In the background and not let them
' take an active part in the issue, but
if necessary the "Drys" will carry the
2 issue into the pulpits. Rev. M. H.
- j Marvin, pastor of the Wilbur Memorial
; M. E. Church.' "the man who drove the
j saloons out of Pullman. Wash.." as he
? is sometimes called. Is taking an active
; part. State Senator D. H. Cox Is tak
; Ins the lead In the fight against the
t saloons. The liquor element asserts.
; he has an ambition to be Governor and
; is taking this means to attain his end.
It Is understood a movement was
. launched today by several of those
""who are working shoulder to shoulder
: Tvith Cox to start a newspaper In this
city, to run until after the campaign.
There has been considerable comment
on both sides both against and in
'- favor of the three local papers, as all
have taken a disinterested stand. The
. new paper will contain no local news,
it is said, except the local- option side
of the fcght.
Councilman W. H. Whiteman and hl
wife have been two of the most active
workers against the saloon so far. Be
dsides Mr. Whiteman there are hundreds
of representative business men identi
fied with the movement. Whitman
.College, one of the greatest Influences
iln the local political flek.. has not
- cn dragged Into the contest, although
son dispute where that Institution
stands. Each meeting of the prohi
bitionists has been attended by hun
dreds of people, but to date there has
been a strong tendency shown to avoid
getting Into the limelight with one
exception, possibly, that of State Sena
tor Cox.
West Side Financing "Drs."
In a conversation Rev. M. H. Marvin
let drop a remark that cannot be
fathomed by the liquor element and is
causing some deep thinking on its
part. In commenting on where the
local optlonists would secure the neces
sary funds to carry on their fight he
is credited with having iwmarked,
"There is plenty of money on the Wtst
Side." meaning the western end of the
state.
The Y. M. C. A. Is headquarters for
the prohibitionists. Robert Carey, sec
retary of the institution, is deeply in
terested in the cause and, it is said,
will take an active part in the work.
When informed tonight that the liquor
people would probably contest the peti
tion in court, one of the opposition
salu: i nev uo noi aare ima
matter Into coort."
It Is the intention of the saloon men
It Is understood, to employ men to
Invade the principal dry towns of Ore
gon and write descriptive articles as
to the conditions found. The opposi
tion will also point to Milton. Dayton
and Pendleton, alleging that conditions
are much Improved in these cities since
the saloon has been driven out. It is
understood many noted temperance
workers will speak here during the
campaign. According to State Senator
Cox.nhe Mayor of Elgin, Or., a former
saloon keeper has voluntered to speak
In behalf of the cause.
SPEECHES MADE IX CAMPAIGN
Local Option Fight in Vancouver
Waxes Warm.
VANCOUVER. Wash. Oct. 28. (Spe
cial.) The campaign for license or no
license is getting warmer as the time
of election. November 2. draws closer.
The, "dry" faction Is advertising in the
locaf daily and weekly papers, and has
engaged a number of speakers to make
a tour of the county and lecture In every
place of any size.
One of the most noted lecturers for
the Loral Option League will be Senator
Cotterlll, of Seattle, who Is to speak
Sunday and Monday evenings. Mayor
Rose, of Milwaukee, is billed to speak
In the auditorium Friday, Sunday and
Monday nights on "Temperance." The
Local Option league has announced that
it will challenge Mayor Rose to debate
with Senator Cotterlll. Mayor Rose ad
vocates regulation rather than strict pro
hibition. Great contention has arisen over an
Interpretation of the law. The saloon
side holds that the brewery, which is lo
cated In this city, can manufacture and
sell liquors In unbroken packages, while
the prohibitionists say this is not true:
that while they may manufacture liquor
In "dry" territory, it positively forbids
selling or giving away in any manner
whatever intoxicating liquors in "dry"
territories.
SIXTT HOMESTEADS. CO ACRES
EACH, IX UMATILLA READY.
Location Is High and Can Be Irri
gated Through Conduit
Xow Being; Built.
PEXDLETON, Or., Oct. 28. f Special.)
Sixty homesteads of 20 acres each on
the Umatilla reclamation projecj in the
west end of this county are to be thrown
open for settlement sometime during the
Winter. This Is the announcement re
ceived from the headquarters of the Re
clamation Service.
These homesteads are located from a
mile and a half to two miles and a half
north of, the town of Hermiston and the
land Is considered among the best on
the entire project. It Is so high that the
water to reclaim It must be carried two
miles through an Immense pipeline and
the altitude Is . therefore sufficient to
place the danger from frost at a mint
mum and to make it certain there will
be no necessity of drainage. The work
of laying this pipeline is now nearing
completion and it Is believed when this
work is finished, the land will be ordered
open for settlement. It is not proppsed
to put the water on it until Spring, but
the object of opening It to settlement
during the Winter is to give the settlers
a chance to remove the sage-brush, level
the ground, build lateral ditches and
otherwise prepare for the reception of
the water when it is ready.
Considerable expense attaches to secur
ing one of the homesteads, but it is be
lieved the rush for the land will be gen
eral and that several hundred men will
stand in line before the door of the La
Grande Land Office for days before the
opening, waiting for a chance to file.
The Government will demand approxi
mately J200 of each settler. This will
Include the filing fee. the annual main
tenance fee. the first year's payments
on the water right and other small ex
penses Incidental to signing up. Then
will come the expense of clearing tho
land of the sage-brush, leveling it, build
ing ditches and constructing house and
barn.
Raw land which has not yet been mo
lested by the. hand of man, adjoining
that to be opened for settlement, is now
selling from $125 to $200 per acre, while
partially improved land Is much higher.
