Would Issue
An Injunction
The following article comes from
tlic Anti-Saloon League at Portland,
find while the writer most assuredly
cot his data a little mixed, particu
larly in reference lo Ashland's prox
imity to the Ki'cat liquor warehouses,
o good idea of the enthusiasm
nroused may he gained:
"Superintendent It. I'. Mutton of
the Oregon Anti-Saloon League spoke
Sunday at Ashland. right on the Ore
gon California line. Fating the great
liquor warehouses, and waving one
of their circular letters, lie called for
volunteers to fight this to the United
Stales supreme court for an injunc
tion, and called upon the congrega
tion to rise en masse and repeat, 'We
will see this thing through.' He
closed his address by saying:
" 'Thousands of dollars have been
Fpent in erecting mail order liquor
liouses along the California line.
Scores of thousands of dollars have
already been spent in listing Oregon
voters and soliciting them by mail for
liquor trade after January 1, 1916,
by mail orders and express deliver
ies. Three hundred thousand letters
are In the mail each mouth now to
Oregonians. The business is so great
that I'ncle Sam no longer stamps
them, but weighs them and takes a
check for the immense sums for post
age. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars will be spent by a single firm in
the course of the year. For all, It
will run to the million mark.
" 'All this can mean but one thing,
viz., that they propose to disobey the
anti-advertising section of the Ander
son law until we get an injunction
from the Biipreme court prohibiting
them from sending circulars, letters,
price lists, solicitation or information
to any one within the bounds of Ore
gon. " 'Like the rbwdies whom the con
ductor forbade to spit in the car, and
who went to the front platform and,
aided by the speed of the train,
streaked the whole outside of the car,
these hoodlum Ilquorites retire to our
California vestibule and, aided by the
speed of modern communication and
transportation, are expectorating
upon the remotest corner of Oregon.
" 'We must fight this to the su
preme court for an injunction that
will prohibit the sending to every
Oregon woman their leering sugges
tion that each of them is one of "Ore
gon's 380,000 tipplers." It is the
acid test as to whether Oregon Is a
quitter or bus the stomach to see this
disagreeable job through to its fin
ish, either in federal Injunction for
such soliciting or national prohibi
tion. This Is the time of trial for
Oregon drys, and continuance the
test.
" 'You propose to stick. Your ris
ing said so. You couldn't help but
stick. Why? llecause this is Ore
gon and you are Oregonians. Thank
God for Oiegou's Oregonian "stick-to-it-till-victory-oi-death"
splijt. Ash
land Is in t ho first, line trenches ready
to charge or dig in and hang on, and
everyone rerdy to die or spend the
last cent rather than bow to the rob
ber booze barons on yonder state
line."
Visitor Tells of
Employment Aid
John H. Harbour, Inspector In
charge of I'nited States Immigration
service work in Oregon, was a recent
visitor in Ashland In the Interests of
the free employment bureau organ
ized by the departments of labor,
commerco and postofflce. Speaking
of the bureau, he said:
"Where the state conducts employ
ment bureaus, we work In conjunc
tion, turning over names of appli
cants, but where no state bureau ex
ists, as in Oregon, we aim to find oc
cupation for tho workless. Applica
tions are listed with the postmasters
in the various cities, who forward
them to"1 us, and we endeavor to se
cure employment. We are confining
our efforts a,t the Btart to the coun
try and endeavoring to supply farm
ers and fruit growers with reliable
workmen. We have furnished labor
for the bop yards, hay fields and
orchards as well as the farmer.
"In Hqod River this season we sup
plied the pickers and packers neded
above theocal help available, and
were there any demand, could do the
same here, working In conjunction
with the exchanges. We have se
cured permanent places for thou
sands of farm laborers and believe
that we will eventually fill a needed
field. We have many European farm
immigrants listed and find them re
liable and competent aids for the
farmer,
"There is no charge connected
with the service rendered and either
employer or workmen can avail them
selves of our services."
Says Times Are
Picking Up Fast
State Superintendent of Banks
Sargent of Salem, in announcing his
statement Hhowin;; tho condition of
all banks in the state at the close of
business on September 2, declared
that it showed that business was rap
idly recovering from tho general de
pression and predicted it. would soon
return to normal conditions.
"Confidence of the people of Ore
gon in the future, and a rapid recov
ery from the general depression in
all lines of trade, is evidenced in the
statement," he said. "Although the
total demand deposits of all the
banks in the state, Including bal
ances due to other banks, show a de
crease of $G, 212,476. 05 for the year,
there has been a steady increase dur
ing the past two or three months,
this statement showing an increase
of $1,813,538.12 since the statement
of June 23, 1915.
"Time and savings deposits con
tinue to grow and have now reached
a grand total of $37,520,873.17, an
Increase of $2,379,672.88 since the
September statement of last year.
"Rediscounts with the federal re
serve bank amount to $140,315.20,
having Increased only $36,325.57
since the June 7 call. Other redis
counts and bills payable amounting
to $2,533,430.30 are unusually high
at this time of the year. This is
due to the fact that farmers do not
seem to be disposed to sell their
crops but are holding for higher
prices. This item shows an increase
of $1,154,743.36 over the statement
of September 12, 1914.
"The national banks of the state
now have an investment of $461,
783.34 in the stock of the federal
reserve bank and are carrying re
serve balances with that institution
amounting to $1,454,509.41.
"The statement as a whole makes
a most satisfactory showing and In
dicates a rapid growth of business
during the past two months and an
early return to normal conditions.
The banks are carrying good re
serves and are in a position to meet
a'.l legitimate demands.'
State Fair at
Salem Best Ever
The fifty-fourth annual Oregon
state fair, which is conceded to he
the best fair ever held in the state,
is over. The closing day, last Satur
day, was marked by as great enthusi
asm as any day earlier in the week
and honored the Shrlners, the pi
oneers and the granges, to which it
was dedicated. In point of finance
the fair was one notable in the his
tory of the state, the gale receipts
for the week being $21,232, exclu
sive of campers and automobile and
vehicle ticl-ets, and not Including the
passes for exhibitors and concession
ers. The amount is next to 1913 in
amount, when $2$, 103, the record
gate receipts, was taken In.
Of the fair Just closed, Salem Day
and Portland Day, Wednesday and
Thursday, showed the largest gate
receipts, the former having the larg
est in regular admission but the lat
ter excelling in number admitted in
automobiles.
Sketches of types of trenches dug
by the Germans which appeared in a
recent Portland paper showed a dug
out below the trench which was
reached by a ladder from the trench
proper. The queer part of the pic
ture was that the retiring dugout
where the soldiers oft duty were sup
posed to obtain rest, was fitted up
with a dressing table of the French
Queen Ann style, a nicely upholstered
chair and a big mirror.
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has Catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a genera! weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food aid a buihling-touic, free
fromulcoholorany harmful druKs. Try it.

March Away to War
Itedding Searchlight: A band of
300 big mules and 58 heavy horses
arrived at Hawes station, near An
derson, this evening. The . stock
came overland from Lakeview, Ore.,
where Dr. II. Ilordom of Chico pur
chased them, presumably for the
allies in Europe.
The hand left Lakeview Friday a
week ago. The drive is one of 4."0
mi'.es. The mules and horses will be
driven to Ited llluff, where they will
be loaded into fifteen stock cars and
shipped to San Francisco. The rail
road stockyard here is not 4arge
enough to hold them.
This is the largest hand of horses
and mules ever shipped from this part
of the state. Dr. Ilordoru shipped
200 head from here two or three
months ago. This band is worth con
siderably over $40,000.
Twelve men left Lakeview with the
animals, but as they became better
drilled in "niarcTiing" the number of
drivers was reduced to five. As they
were strung out along the road tney
made a column nearly a mile long.
The dust they raised could be seen
for miles and miles.
Two gray mares wearing bells pre
ceded the band. The horses and
mules soon learned to follow their
leaders. It is a singular fact, says
Dr. Ilordom, that gray mares are
much better for leaders than black
ones. Horses and mules will follow
a gray leader in preference to a black
bell wearer every time, he says.
When the band met an automobile
or even a freight wagon in the road,
the 358 ' horses and mules, takjng
fright, would scamper off into the
brush up- the mountain side. The
gray hell mares were led by cowboys.
After the stampede. was over the cow
boys would keep ringing the bells on
the leaders and in the course of an
hour or two the frightened animals
would all be back in place in ranks
and the "march" would be resumed
in regular fashion.
Electric Company
Asks Fair Deal
Asking that the service of the Oregon-California
Power Company in all
the territory in the state where it
operates he considered in the investi
gation now being made of its rates
and charges by the Oregon public ser
vice commission, that company has
sent a petition to the commission.
The complaint against the com
pany was brought by the cities of
Grants Pass, Medford and Klamath
Falls, and the first hearing has al
ready been held. Other hearings are
scheduled to be held in tho complain
ing cities and at some other points.
Medford Tribune: Apple-picking
operations are In full blast at the
Hanley orchard, leased by Tou Velle
and Harris, and a record-breaking
crop of Newtowns is being harvested.
Despite an unfavorable year, a 15 to
20 box yield to the tree is frequent
and Borne trees have run as high as
40 boxes. The fruit averages high
In quality. There are 65 acres of
orchard, and this is one of the show
orchards of the valley this season.
Every tourist should be taken
through it.

he is the whole thing try to conceal
