Quote tlic Orcgouiau to Prove tlie
Unprofitableness of a City Follow
ing the Course That Pu-r Hum Al
ways Heretofore Advised Corres
pondent Mentions Variable Weather
in tlie Valley of Juekson County
Cloudburst and lliuvy Hull.
Eagle Point, Jackson County, June
10. This valley Is completely encir
cled by mountains, and our rains and
storms are quite local In character.
Jacksonville seems to be the storm
center, with Medford a clone second.
A few days ago they had a young
cloudburst over there, attended with
considerable loss of life (chickens),
and a brink movement in high-priced
real estate; but I am pleased to state
the tendency of the real estate was
downward.
On the high ridge or divide between
Jacksonville and Applegate creek,
there was a tremendous hailstorm. A
man who passed that way told me the
hall stones were as large as marbles,
and laid eight inches deep on a level,
and the forest trees were nearly strip
ped of their leaves.
I was surprised to see In an editorial
In a recent Portland Oregonian, that
they had made the astounding discov
ery that the license from the saloons
did not pay the expense brought
about by the traffic. Temperance
people have been preaching this for
yours, but Scott has hooted at their
figures, and stood for the saloons
first, last, and all the time; the more
the better. ' The city could not meet
her running expenses without, and
must soon go to the poorhouse. Why,
under Mayor Williams the city col
lected more than $80,000 from sa
loons, gamblers and prostitutes; long
live Williams.
locket Nerve Affects Vision.
It seems there has been a "change
come over the spirit of his dreams,"
and what has produced It? It is curi
ous how the' pocket nerve effects the
vision. A little twinge of that nerve
frequently gives one a rery altered
point of view. The Oregonian knows,
as every one else who thinks must
know, that if it goes out over this
broad land of ours, that every man,
woman and child who passes In or out
of the fair, must pass through a long
lane, lined on each side with saloons
and drunken rowdies, thieves, pick
pockets, pimps, prostitutes and such
like Ilk, the usual and natural con
comitant of the saloon, hundreds, If
not thousands of self-respecting peo
ple will stay away, to the great finan
cial detriment of the fair, not to say
anything of the moral aspect It will
reach farther and affect the immigra
tion. Many people In the East who look
upon the people here as hardly civil
ized and still In the breech clout and
moccasin period, and the fact that the
metropolis of the state would allow
such a state of affairs to exist, and
more, to brazenly flaunt It In the
faces of the visiting public, would go
far to prove their opinion not far
astray.
Oregonian Inconsistent. '
The Oregonian Is an able paper, but i
like some other able people, not al- j
ways consistent. In the editorial re-,
ferred to It says the council has out- j
raged the decent part of the commu-l
nity by licensing these saloons, besides:
the fact that the extra cost of pro-;
teetlng life and property brought I
about by these saloons, will more than !
eat up all revenue derived from them; i
but In a later Issue It says the saloon!
business Is a "legitimate" business, I
just as much so as any other busi
ness, "but liable to abuse and should i
be kept back from public view." The
quotations are mine.) '
Put the two staements together and
what have you? First, that saloon .
licenses do not pay the cost engen-j
dered by the saloon, that they endan
ger life and property and outrage all
moral decency, but second, all this Is
legitimate and proper If It is done on(
a back street! i
Who Made IVirtland Democratic? !
Scott's arfguments sometimes sound!
as though he was short of material. I
During the gubernatorial campaign
he said: "What will Roosevelt think.
If a democratic governor Is elected?";
I am a republican? I am a republl-i
can, and always have been, and I ad-j
mire Roosevelt very much; but I do!
not expect to ask him how I shall I
vote, neither do I care what he thinks I
about it; besides, who made it possi-l
ble to elect a democratic governor In j
Oregon? Tlie same rotten and cor-i
rupt ring which has made It possible
to elect a democratic mayor In Port
land. Time was once, within my own
memory, when a man considered It
an honor to say, "I vote her straight,
even If I know there Is a horse thief
on it." But men are becoming more
intelligent and are learning that a
mere name neither leads the country
to heaven or destruction.
I notice that some gambler In your
city said Pendleton would be glad to
get them back, and could not get
along without them. If Pendleton, 1
with all the resources back of her, I
has reached that point where her ex-j
istence depends on the money wrung
from the gambler and the prostitute,
then the sooner she hides her fester
ing carcass In oblivion, away from the
view of a decent world, the better. I
But that Is all bosh. Towns In this ;
valley without one-half the natural I
resources of Pendleton, are existing
without the saloon or the gambler, or
the public houses of prostitution and
so can Pendleton.
If all the moral elements in Pendle
ton would make common cause, lay
aside for the time being, their names
and creeds, and stand solidly for a
clean, moral town, they could have it;
but some are afraid of hurting their
business, some of their political pros
pects, some are so prejudicial against
some other organization they would
rather the whole place would go to
the bow-wows than to work in the
same harness.
Personally, this matter does not
trouble me. Through Christian par
ents I Inherited clean blood with no
craving for Intoxicants, and it is no
trouble for me to keep out of the sa
loons, and my boy does not seem dis
posed that way; but for the sake of
the boys and the men who have the
poison in their blood, and for the sake
of the women and children who are
the helpless victims of the traffic,
whatever Influence I may have will
be on the side of clean Christian
homes.
I am glad to see one paper which
has the courage to stand up for pure
homes and decent public morals.

PIONEERS OF OREGON.
Annual Reunion to Be Held In Port
land This Week.
Portland, June 13. Pioneers from
All parts of the state will gather in
this city next Thursday for the annu
al reunion and banquet of the Ore
gon Pioneer society.
Members of the society are request
ed to secure their badges of Secre
tary George H. Himes, at Pioneer
headquarters In the rooms of the Or
egon Historical society In the city
hall and assemble at the Armory at
2 o'clock sharp Thursday afternoon.
Joseph Buchtel, grand marshal, as
sisted by aids and the women's re
ception committee, will receive the
members and conduct them to one
of the small halls in the Armory,
where literary exercises will take
place.
The souvenir pioneer badge em
braces three pivotal Ideas on which
the Pacific coast states were founded.
The picture of Captain Robert Gray
emphasizes his discovery of the Co
lumbia river in 1792; the portraits of
Lewis and Clark, the explorers, in
1805, and a picture of a primitive
home represented by a log cabin and
ox teams, show the formative period
between 1811 and 1859.
To Keep Sheep Out of Grant.
Tuesday a meeting of the citizens
was held in Granite at which the ques
tion of keeping sheep and cattle out
of the district was discussed.
It was decided to hire a man to
post notices warning stockmen of the
position taken by the residents and
to also ride the lines for a short
time. A subscription list was also
started to raise funds to pay the ex
penses of the organization. It has
been quite liberally responded to so
far, but more' funds will be required
and it Is hoped those Interested will
be on hand with their proportion.
So far there are at least 100 signa
tures on the paper wishing the large
bands of stock to be kept out of the
territory mentioned In the notices.
Granite Gem.
The state of education In Russia
may be judged from the fact that
there is only one village school for
every 12,000 persons.
