Opening guns in the campaign to make Chicago "dry" through, a local option vote at the April election will be fired next week. The saloon question will be brought to the front a an exceedingly live issue and a number of noted speak ers have been engaged to hammer the temperance doctrine into the minds of Chicago voters. Twenty mass meetings in various parts of the city, with ex-Governor J. Frank Hanly. of Indiana, and Seaborn Wright, for 25 years prominent In the Georgia State Legislature, as the principal speak ers, have been arranged for the week. 500 Petitions Out. James K. Shields, superintendent of the Illinois Anti-Saloon League, who is at the head of the movement to place the saloon question on the ballot next Spring, announced yesterday that "no license pe titions have been put into the hands of 600 workers, who will devote their spare moments between now and February 1 to getting signatures. Mr. Shields is certain that the required S0.000 signatures will be obtained and that, for the first time in the history of the city, the prohibition forces will be able to force a vote on whether Chicago shall have saloons. Hottest Fight Promised. The petitions must be . filed with the Election Commiesloners by February L If the temperance workers achieve their goal. February and March will witness one of the most bitter contests over the saloon on record. The saloon men assert It is the height of absurdity to Imagine that Chicago will ever be voted "dry," but, with the un certainty due to the fact that the propo sition has never been placed before the electors, they do not propose to take any chances. The United Societies for Local Self Government already is planning a series of mass meetings in different parts, of the city to defeat the "no license" move ment and oppose Aldermen unfriendly to the personal liberty cause.

Ington in the big Thanksgiving game on Denny Field this afternoon, but the wear- era of the purple and gold had the better team and won the contest and the Northwestern entercollegiate champion ship by a score of 20 to 6. In justice to the Oregonlans it may be said that they fought with bulldog de termination and pluck from whistle to whistle, and in many respects made an equal showing with the victors, but an ability to execute the forward pass, coupled with a strong defense against similar plays by Oregon tells the story of Washington's success. High Praise for Oregon. The game itself will go down into the football history of the Northwest as one of the Cleverest and hardest contests on record and while Washington won a bril liant victory, Oregon's showing was such that her players won high praise from even the most enthusiastic Washington partisans. The game was replete with sensational features and the 8000 spectators were lib eral in their applause. The work of Eakins, the Washington punter, was bril liant, and his long spirals would have made Washington score even larger had not Latourette and Taylor, the Oregon backs made brilliant catches and clever runs through broken fields. The work of these two Oregonlans and the brilliant performances of Plnkham Oregon's left tackle, were features of the game that appealed to those who appre ciate good football. Latourette Shines Brightly. It was Latourette who made a sensa tional quarterback run of 15 yards which gave Oregon her only score, and it was Pinkham who repeatedly broke through Washington's forward line and nailed the opposing backs for big losses. Taylor's work was equally conspicuous and the Washington campus is ringing with the praises of Oregon's great trio. Captain Dudley Clark, of Oregon, also played brilliant game and did some effective punting, but a weak ankle prevented him from doing his best, and Coach Forbes removed him from the game in the mid die of the second half. Clark played to day against heavy odds and remained In the game only because of his sheer pluck and determination. Washington Team Best. Football critics who saw today's game give Washington credit for having the best team that the Northwest has seen since the adoption of the open style of play.

DAMAGE IN STATE GREAT Sonthern Pacific Trestle at Lake Labish in Great Danger False Work or WIHsburjr Bridge Gone 50 0 Bales Hops Lost. Although the Willamette River has be gum to fall up the valley, the crest of the high water has yet to strike Portland. This is expected to happen today, when a 22-foot stage is predicted. , Last night the reading was 20.3 feet, and the water was still rising rapidly. Early yesterday morning the crest of the freshet passed Albany and Salem, and though a gradual fall continued all day, It was slight, and the river Is still far beyond its banks at Albany. The drop during the day did not amount to more than one. foot and nine Inches. There Is enough water still in the up per part of the river easily to bring the gauge here up to 22 feet when the crest comes. Although there may be a period when the height of the water is station ary, it Is not thought it will remain there, for showers with south winds are predicted for today. There is a period of low pressure off the Coast and another storm is likely within a day or two, says the weather man. Couch-Street Dock Flooded.
