Condon, Or., Nov. 6. Condon's "dry"
spell under local option Is about to be
a thing of the past The city council
at Its last meeting gave an understand
ing to the saloonmen that tbey would
be given licenses to run their places of
business beginning November 15. The
council has been guided In its decision
by' the action taken in the Med ford
case, Condon's charter being similar to
that city's. The main contention was
whether the license should be raised
and the number of saloons limited to
the five In business when the local op
tion law took effect, or whether the li
cense should remain at 1600 and the
number of saloons unlimited. The coun
cil favors the raising of the license to
$1,000.
The- residents of the city are agitated
over the prospect of wet" days again,
after they had voted for a dry town,
but the city needs the money to run Its
bonded water system. During Condon's
five months "dry" spell marked
changes have taken place, but not for
the worst, as predicted by a great
many of the anti-local option law. Ten
places of business have been started,
one livery stable Is being built, and an
Imposing structure, the home of the St.
Thomas academy, costing $30,000, Is
Hearing completion.

Austin, Texas, Nor. . The attorney
general's office hopes the. report will
prove true that Henry Clay Pier:,
chairman of the Waters-Pierce Oil com
pany, will voluntarily come to Texas
next week to stand trial on. the long
pending indictment against him. It
marks the beginning of the end of a ease
that has cost the state of Texas a vast
amount of time and money. Every ef
fort will be put forth to try the cao
without unnecessary delay. It will be
called before Judge Calhoun of the
Fifty-third district court, but it- is be
lieved an effort will be made to get a
change of venue.
The troubles between the state of
Texas and the Waters-Pierce OH com
pany date back nearly a decade, but
the charge against H. Clay Pierce on
which he Is to be placed on trial datas
back to two. years ago this month. It
was in November, 1906, that the Travis
county grand Jury returned an Indict
ment against Mr., Pierce charging him
with false swearing. . The lndiotment
charges that Pierce, on May 31, 1900,
mado an affidavit that the Waters
Pierce Oil company had not entered In
to any agreement or understanding with
any corporation, partnership, firm, or
individual to regulate the price of any
article, or commodity. It charges that
at the time Pierce made the affidavit
he knew that the company had entered
Into an agreement with the Standard
Oil company, tjohn D. Rockefeller, John
D. Archbold, H. H. Rogers and others to
control the price of oil In Texas, an J
that the Standard Oil company had Ac
quired a controlling Interest in t lie
Waters-Pierce company.
A vigorous fight has been made y
Mr. Pierce to prevent extradition to
this state. 1 His last recourse was ex
hausted two weeks ago, when the su
preme court of the United State denied
his motion for a rehearing and sus
tained the lower court's decision that
Mr. Pierce must stand trial before the
Texas courts.
Perjury In the state of Texas is pun
ishable by imprisonment in the peniten
tiary for a term of not less than five
years. The minimum punishment for
false swearing is two years.

"Crosses Continent to Fight Liquor,"
la the heading over the following de
scription appearing In the Evening Tele
graph of the arrival of Mrs. Ada Wal
lace Unruh In Philadelphia:
" 'Within Ave years the whole United
States will have become "dry." Within
seven years an amendment prohibiting
the liquor traffic will have been Incor
porated tntb the constitution. Within
IS years people will look upon the use
of liquor as they now look upon the use
of drugs.'
"This is the way that Ada Wallace
Unruh defines the future of the prohibi
tion movement. Mrs. Unruh Is official
lecturer of the W. C. T. U. She Is in
Philadelphia to .conduct a campaign of
a week against the demon drink.
"Seaborn Wright of Georgia was to
have headed the onslaught, out at the
last moment he withdrew. Hence Mrs.
Unruh was hurriedly summoned from
the W. C. T. U. convention at Denver
to fill his place.
"Mrs. Unruh addressed her first meet
ing last night. Her schedule of speeches
extends through till Monday. She plans
to conduct several noonday shop meet
ings among the working men. She will
try to win them over to the prohibition
movement.
"Mrs.- Unruh Is a veteran campaigner
for her chosen cause. For 25 years she
has lectured In Its favor. She has seen
it leap to sAjccess. Now she predicts
its future.
" 'One half of the population of the
United States today Is living in dry ter
ritory,' she says, 'and 75 per cent of
this territory has been won from the
liquor Interest within one year. The
growth of the temperance movement is
one of the most remarkable things In
modern history.
" 'Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and North Carolina are our new
solid dry states. Our old ones are North
Dakota, Maine and Kansas. Most of
our other strongholds are by counties
In local option states. Gradually our
hold Is becoming complete.
" 'Of course, the last stand of the
liquor men will be made in the great
cities. Under the local option plan we
could not win them. But this can he
overcome. We have a state election,
the country districts have the -power,
and the cities find themselves dry. In
a short- time they realize what a real
benefit it is. Atlanta, which cried out
against us at first. Is now with us.
" 'People ask us "What will take the
place of the saloon as the worklngman's
club?" The answer Is simple. The
Young Men's Christian Association, with
lis wonderful educational advantages;
the Institutes, all sorts of humanita
rian organizations, will not only replace
the saloon, but will benefit our men in
stead of making swine of them.
" 'Tlie remarkable spread of prohibi
tion is not due to a hysteria, but to the
fact that sober thought shows that It
Is best. That is why we are winning,
and shall continue to win.' "
