The so-called really miscalled lo
cal option law ought to be moderately
amended, so as to make in fact a local
option law. At present the prohibition
element Is paramount In it It should
be amended so that prohibition and
non-prohibition ahould not be yoked
up together. It was carried last June
only through misrepresentation and
deception. Now that it Is known it
would if submitted again be beaten
by many thousands. What ought to
be done Is to amend It so as to make It
truly a local option law. This would
be approved by an immense majority
otf the people. Oregonlanr

owing to the soft condition of the
ground, that even the foundation will
not be sufficient to support the build
