Receipts for May Are One-fourth Greater Than Last May. ! For the Month of May Just closed I the receipts at the Pendleton postof ' flee were more than 25 per cent j greater than that for the same month I last year. By the report of Harry Kees. assistant postmaster, Just com pleted, It Is shown that for the past month the total receipts of the office were $1546.74 while for May, 1907, the receipts were but $933.60. As much campaign literature was mailed out during the past month It is probable that the Increase was par tially due to that cause., But It Is improbable that sucn an enormous Increase was caused In that manner.

Commercial National Bank United States Depository The Dalles is Only Oasis Along 0. R.&N. Between Portland and' Baker City. 233-MILE STRETCH WITHOUT A DROP. Five Counties lii a String, From Was x oo to linker, are Dry as a Desert ProliIbKioiUsu Win Great Victories Forty-nine Suloong closed In East ern Oregon Railroad Towns LitUo Liquor Can Ho Handled on Trains and CoiiiiMMiy Will Probably Abol ish Practice Xlne Precincts in Baker Vote Out Saloons. As a result of the heavy prohibition vote cast in eastern Oregon counties last Monday, the O. R. & N. railroad now traverses a long "dry" atretcn through Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla and Union counties and the only place at which thirsty travelers can now secure a drink In an open saloon between Portland and Baker City Is at The Dalles, even Arlington. the strongest small saloon town In eastern Oregon, going "dry" by a heavy vote. For 233 miles In one stretch from Deschutes to North Powder, the O. R. & N. traverses "dry" territory. Deschutes is on the boundary line be tween Wasco and Sherman counties and there the train enters the long reach of prohibition territory, and from that point until the train crosses Powder river into Baker county, at North Powder station, no liquor can be sold on trains and none will be purchasable in an open saloon after July 1. In that 233 miles of territory. 49 saloons In railroad towns have been voted out of existence, as follows: Arlington, 3; Umatitla, 3; Hermlston, 1; Echo, 4; Pendleton, 25; La Grande, 11; Hilgard, 1; North Powder, 1. At North Powder where Powder river runs through the town Is the dividing line between Baker and Union counties, Dave Beverldge, a pioneer saloon man is preparing to move his building just across the river Into Baker county, 200 yards from his present location, and declares that he will continue In business. However, since Baker county voted five additional "dry" precincts this year, making a total of nine in the county, it Is the opinion of the people of that county that the entlie county will go "dry" at the next election, and perhaps sooner, should a prohi bition vote be requested. As a result of the prohibition vote, but little liquor will be handled on dining cars hereafter and It Is thought the company will abolish the prac tice of carrying liquor on the curs, altogether. The territory from Uma tilla to the Washington state line on the Washington division of the O. R. & N. and from Pendleton to state line, will be "dry" and so but little liquor business can be done on cafe cars. JOHN SCHMIDT WILL FARM. Iroprletor of Ituvre Saloon Will Not Leave Pendleton or Umatilla Coun ty. John Schmidt, proprietor of the Louvre saloon on Main street, and one of the pioneer saloonmen of the city, will move out to his wheat . farm north of the city and will engage In farming permanently. Mr. Schmidt has made a fortune out of the liquor business here and has Invested it Ju diciously, having a large brick build ing on Main street, a good wheat farm and other property. He has faith In Pendleton and Umatilla county and will not leave here. He has Just completed an ele gant residence in the Cole addition to the north side of the city and la one of the most prosperous liquor dealers in the county. MAZE SALOON' CMWKI) BY ATTACHMENT SUIT, Fixture and Stock May lie Sold to Satl.-fy Debt. The. Maze saloon, on Court street, Is now closed by an attachment sun brought against its owners, Hansen & Olsen, by George Brewer. The suit was brought to recover a claim of 31250 held by the plaintiff and It Is undertsood that the fixtures and liquor stock of the saloon will be sold by the sheriff to satisfy the debt. " . . The claim against the Maze was from a note that had been transfer red to the plaintiff, who brought the attachment proceedings through At torneys Carter & Smythe. SH.rsiKO WOOL UNSOLD. Growers Refuse to Part With Clip at Prices "Offered by Buyers. After having purchased but little of the Shanlko wool the wool buying party returned to the city last even ing. At the sale Just held at Shanl ko nearly all the heavy growers re fused to part with their clips at the prices offered and they will hold until the next sale which Is set for June 16. During the sale Just-field the prices ranged from 9 6-8 to 13 7-8. The next sale will be held at Vale June E. gles will pay an official visit to Pen dleton aerie Frday night when ape clal efforts will be made to have a large attendance to greet the grand officer.. Tomorrow night has been desig nated a "Seattle Night" by Pendle ton aerie, the time at which arrange ments will be made to send a degree team of 13 members and a large walking club of the grand aerie which meets in Seattle on August 11-13.

Deputy Grand president J. E. Rrfhk of St. Johns to Visit Pendleton Aerie. Deputy Grand President X B. Brink of the Fraternal Order of Ea- Rccnll Is Adopted and Statement No. 1 Is Bolstered Up University Ap propriation Carries. Oregon voters favor the recall, the limiting of campaign expenditures of candidates, proportional representa tion, and the Instruction of legislative members to vote for the people's choice for United States senator. By adopting the measure Instruct ing legislative members to vote for the candidate receiving the highest number of popular votes for United States senator, the people have con firmed statement No. 1. The people have, apparently de feated the proposed Increase In pay of members of the legislature from $3 to $10 a day and voted against the proposed Increase of judges on the su preme bench. The proposed com pulsory pass bill has been knocked out by a landslide of disapproval and woman's suffrage has gone down to defeat once more, the vote against It being even more decisive than In the past, when greater interest was taken In the question. The single tax also went down to defeat, although not so hard as some of the other proposed measures. There appears to be a desire on the part of the people to scatter state In stitutions and not keep them all at Salem. The Idea of holding state elections In November instead of June also nppears to have met with gen eral approval. The people have voted favorably on the referendum measure whereby sheriffs shall receive 12 hi cents a meal for feeding prisoners. The university appropriation has carried, but was battered hard In counties where there were large edu cational Institutions. The armory ap propriation Is supposed to have squeezed through, but by what ma jority is not known. From such Indications as can be gathered it Is safe to assume that five of the measures were rejected and 1 accepted. Both the fish bills passed and it looks as though the Reridy amendment, or "open town" measure had met with fnvnrable consideration. That grand Juries and not district attorneys should bring Indictments was the opinion of the voters and this measure has carried. The proposed county of Hood River will be created and the powers of the Port of Port land will be Increased. Werton Mountain Thriving:. R. F. Jdhnson the pioneer resident of Brlggson or Weston mountain Is in the city today on a trading trip and Is enthusiastic over the prospects ahxad of his section. A larger acre age of potatoes will be planted In that favored district this year than ever before and a larger amount of produce will be shipped out next fall than In any one year. The new mar ket found In Seattle for the Weston mountain potatoes has encouraged the progressive people of that settle- met to grow more potatoes and here after Immense shipments will be made from that section. Musical Instructor Here. Prof. J. L. Lehr, of the German method of music, by which a scienti fic chart giving instruction In 115 vital points In music, Is In the city today from Seattle looking over the field and will perhaps establish an agency here. The new method has met with eminent success wherever Introduced and is a practical and common sense method of musical In structlon. Will Ship Inland's Body. The body of C. H. Bland, brother of C. K.
