"DOTS" MAKE DEFENSE
27 TILLAMOOK. MEX DEXY PRO
HIBITIOX IS FAILURE.
They Declare There Is "ot So Much
Drunkenness) In City Since Sa
loons Were Closed.
TILLAMOOK. Or.. Aug. 14. (To ths
Editor.) There appeared In your Issue
of August 6 a column under the head
lines -Prohibition for Counties la a
Farce." Inasmuch aa Tillamook Is cited
as an example of this feature, and her
officials and people Implicated in said
failure, there la a widespread feeling
here that ths situation was not fairly
dealt with in the above-mentioned col
umn by Mayor Coates and the high
titled Greater Oregon Home Rule As
sociation." Therefore, we. the under
signed business men and citizens of Till
amook, respectfully request the publica
tion of this further word In your valu
able medium of intelligence.
Conditions are not Just as Ideal in Till
amook as Intelligent progressive citizens
could wish, nor were they when our
open saloons were operating. But it Is
our candid opinion that, first, there is
not nearly so .much drinking and drunk
enness, nor ti drunkenness so violent
or dangerous now as when the saloons
were operating unmolested.
Second. whUe ths finances of ths city
are not In as good shape at present as
they were In Just prior to the taking
effect of local option, this Is accounted
for to a considerable extent by the fact
that the city had to repay a large sum
to saloon-keepers who had renewed their
licenses shortly prior to January 1, 1904,
putting the city immediately in debt, and
the further fact that last year and this,
under Mr. Coates administration, the
city practically threw away, so far as
ths use of the money by the city was
concerned. $3000 of road tax money, by
upsetting an arrangement " with the
County Court of long standing by which
one-half of the county road tax collected
in the city was being turned over to the
city. Notwithstanding this, the public
work of tho city has never suffered to
any serious extent by reason of ths ab
sence of saloons.
Third, cash receipts In general busi
ness axe much better than when we had
saloons, and better than they would now
be with such saloons.
Fourth, Mayor Coates says "the local
officers have honestly done their best to
enforce the law.". This we believe true
of some of the local officers, notably the
Sheriff. But our records show that. In
stead, some of our local officials have
done their best to violate the law them
selves, and have had to plead guilty and
pay fines for such violations. Everybody
knows that the honest enforcement of
the law has been hedged, and blocked at
every possible turn by the attitude of
some of these very local officers. The
four places licenced by our Mayor and
Council to sell soft drinks have been
compelled to plead guilty to repeated of
fenses. The city has meted no punishment to
them, not even revocation of license. No
one seems to take more delight In the
fact that the law is violated, nor to be
more personally grieved when such viola
tors are arraigned than our honorable
Mayor himself. Conditions are bad
enough, but they are made seriously
worse by the very encouragement and
participation of some of our officials, and
by every standard of fairness this fact
merits publication since attention has
been called to the situation.

KLAMATH GETS ANXIOUS
Oregon Trunk Road Survey Com
pletion Merely Question of Time.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) While the line for the Oregon
Trunk road has not been surveyed to
this city, yet the engineers are working
so near to Klamath Falls that it will
take them but a very short time to com
plete the survey here when they care to
do so.
Engineer Crenshaw has come over from
the Medford side, ot the range with a
crew of about 20 men and is camped
near Rocky Point. Surveyors Melllken
and Kelley have moved to the east side
of Klamath Lake and the former la now
camped at Klamath Agency while the
other is at Williamson River.
The line which the surveyors have so
far traced runs from the north through
Klamath Reservation, past Rocky Point
by way of Lake of the Woods and Four
Bit Creek and on toward Medford. Some
work has also been done toward Aspen
Lake, which lies this way from the
Medford line
While the engineers themselves are
saying but little, their continued pres
ence with larfce gangs of workmen in
this section of tho state indicates to
those who have watched the trend of
railroad affairs in Oregon that the ces
sation of work that has been "reported
on that road Is only temporary.

Billy Sunday Says Idiocy and
Crime Result.
FARMER WILL NOT LOSE
Market for Corn Ho Reason for
Liquor Traffic, Says Evangelist.
W. S. XT' Ren Introduces Him to
Oregon City Audience.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Mig. ll.-M Spe
cial.) Three hundred and fifty men and
a few women heard a denunciation of
the saloon this afternoon from the lips
of Evangelist "Billy" Sunday at the
Shlvely Theater. Sunday was Introduced
by W. S. U'Ren, who condemned the
traffic more than he did the men who
sell liquor to the consumers. After talk
ing a few minutes, Sunday- peeled off his
coat and said he might as well get down
to business, and in the middle of his
speech he rushed from the platform, re
turning with a handbag from which he
extracted an American flag that he
waved before the audience.
"While I might be called crude, illit
erate and Jabbering," exclaimed the ex
baseball player, "I am first and last
against the liquor traffic The newspap
ers are subsidized by the liquor traffic
and whenever an editor favors this ne
farious business, he dips his pen in
vitriolic sewage. You might as well try
to regulate a powder mill in hell, as to
try to regulate a saloon by high license.
The only way to stop the liquor traffic
absolutely is to stop the manufacture.
I would rather be a man in hell than to
have my name on the church record and
vote' for saloons. If all such men were
In hell, that place would be so full that
their stinking feet would be sticking out
of the windows.
Much Money Taken Out.
"in Oregon City $17,000 is paid for sa
loon licenses and I would bet my life
agalrot a chew of tobacco that J17.000
allows them to take out at least $200,000
a year out of this city."
Referring to the brewer, Sunday said:
"If you see a brewer walking down the
street all you have to do is to stick a
big butcher knife in his pouch and see
four gallons of beer rolLout.
"I am with any party who can put the
saloon In hell, be they Republicans, Dem
ocrats, Prohibitionists or anything else.
The Democrats have been , much more
successful in supressing the liquor traffic
in the South than have the Republicans
In the North.
"Ninety per cent of all the crimes com
mitted are due directly to booze, and 75
per cent of the Idiots born are the off
spring of booze-fightlng parents. In the
United States there are 64 fraternal or
ders and 66 of them do not allow saloon
keepers or bartenders In their ranks.
Corn Would Still Be Sold.
"One of the stock arguments against
putting the saloons out of business is
that the farmer would suffer by not
having as good a market for his corn,
but. as a matter of fact, the liquor busi
ness takes only ! per cent of the corn,
raised In the United States. Last year
there were 24,000 saloons legislated out
of business and yet the farmers received
more for their corn than at any period
in recent years. The liquor business last
year cost $3,400,000,000, and for that
amount of money there could have been
constructed 1,200,000 homes, each cost
ing $2000, and there would have been
money left. The money spent for liquor
last year In eight months would have
paid the expenses of the United States
Government for one year and it would
have also paid the expenses of all the
universities and schools in the country
and other similar institutions."
Among Sunday's hearers were two
Oregon City saloon-keepers.

CHICAGO, Aug. It (Special.) "Prose
cute criminally every man who was in
the conspiracy through which the Illinois
Central Railroad was defrauded out of
over $5,000,000 and let no guilty man
escape punishment." is the sensational
order given in characteristic language
by no less a personage than President
J. T. Harahan himself.
"I wish every guilty conspirator to feel
the yoke of vthe oriminal statutes," em
phasized President Harahan.
"The railroad will co-operate to the
fullest possible extent with the State's
Attorney's office. All evidence, collected
by our army of detectives, proving abso
lutely the guilt of the conspirators, is
at the full disposal of the prosecuting of
ficers of the county, and the railroad
will do everything additionally in Its
power toward the criminal punishment
of the guilty ones."
Convictions Are Expected.
"Conviction of many of the alleged
grafters, trial of whom will begin to
morrow by State's Attorney Wayman, Is
made by President Harahan's attitude,"
announced Assistant State's Attorney
John A. Barnes, who has been conduct
ing the Investigation for Mr. Wayman
in association with the sleuths of the
Illinois Central corps.
None of the alleged conspirators who
has surrendered before the fire of civil
action and made heavy restitution to
the railroad will escape criminal prose
cution, according to President Harahan's
latest edict and the determination of
State's Attorney Wayman.
Arrests to Be Made Today.
Several arrests may be effected tomor
row, following a conference between Mr.
Nelson. Mr. Barnes and Walter L.
Fisher, associate counsel for the rail
road in the graft cases. Mr. Barnes an
nounced that the facts have been as
sembled properly and It only remains for
Informations to be formally drafted and
presented in the Municipal Court for the
securing of warrants.
Seven or eight men will be in the first
batch to be taken into custody and their
hearings in the Municipal Court will
result, It is believed, in their being held
for the grand Jury. Their testimony, it
Is said, must involve others and furnish
facts of record upon which to proceed
against many others of the alleged con
spirators. Restitution of No Avail.
Which of the alleged grafters will be
first arraigned Is not made public, but
Mr. Barnes Intimated tonight that the
number would include those officials

iW LAVA BEDS FOUND
VOLCAXIO CRATERS FOUND OX
DESERT BY TOURISTS.
Eruptions on Santa Fe Road Seem
Recent and Suggest Dante's In
ferno to Viewers.
LOS ANGELES, Cal- Aug. 14 (Spe
cial.) Lava beds and volcanic craters
believed to be of comparatively recent
origin and forming a wonderful sight
were discovered yesterday by George
Rice, Jr., and others with him, on the
desert east of Daggett, from the Santa
Fe Railroad.
Rice says It appears as if the region
had been burned over by a grass fire
and as it Is somewhat difficult of
access and in a non-mineral bearing
district, little frequented by prospec
tors, nothing has been heard of it.
"This lava field is about five miles
wide and ten miles long, I judge, and
the lava Is blue-black and hard," said
Mr. Rice. "We visited seven distinct
craters and I do not know how many
more there are.
"The craters are perhaps 200 feet
above the surrounding plain, but the
molten lava has filled in around their
bases. One that we examined closely
was about 160x75 feet on the Interior
and 12 feet deep. The floor was level

Germs in
Her System
Every Woman Should ReariV
This Advice and the Gen
erous Offer That Goes
With It.
The number of diseases peculiar to
women. Is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names, and It is a
fact that most of these diseases are ot
a catarrhal nature. A woman cannot
be well if there is a trace of catarrh
in her system.
Some women think there Is no help
for them. We positively declare this to
be a mistaken idea. We are so sure of
this that we offer to supply medicine
absolutely free of all cost in every
Instance where It falls to give satisfac
tion, or does not substantiate our
claims. With this understanding, no
woman should hesitate to believe our
honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to a test. .
There Is only one way to overcome
catarrh. That way is through tho
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best Catarrh in general Is a
diseased condition of the system that
shows locally most frequently in dis
charges from mucous membranes.
Local treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general dis
eased condition if a complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treatment
should be scientifically devised and
faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tone Is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his specialty. This rem
edy Is admirably adapted to the treat
ment of the catarrhal ailments of
women. It purifies and enriches the
biood, tends to stop mucous discharges,
aids In removing Impurities from the
system, soothes, heals and strengthens
the mucous tissues, and brings about
a feeling of health and strength.
We -want you to try Rexall Mucu
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason not
satisfied, simply tell us and we will
hand back your money. Rexall Mucu
Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and
$1.00. Remember, you can obtain

but here and there were places where
the force beneath had broken through.
It is all fresh. We could see how the
hoAlava poured out of the craters and
spm-ted up here and there. It has left
some remarkable shapes and reminds
one of the pictures of Dante's Inferno."
Rice reported his discovery to Santa
Fe officials. If facilities are given
for visiting the beds they may be an
attraction for tourists.
