PERSONAL MENTION 1 IS SPREADING FAST FK.UTICAL ACTION TAKEN' IN CANADA No More Liquor Morn Will Be Is imtl to Construction Campa Along New Railroad HunltT to Get Irink Arrow a liar Tlian to Ixjeate a Mini Policy Based I'pun Purely Economical It canons. "The rapid advancement of practl cal temperance sentiment In Canada's westernmost province Is attested by the decision Just reached by the gov ernment of British Columbia to Issue no liquor licenses to construction camps along the Grand Trunk Pa cific, although numberless licenses have been received, nnd by Its de cision the government voluntarily abandons an Immensely eagerly ten dered revenue. Attorney General Dowser says th policy decided upon Is based upon purely economic reasons. "Liquor license," said he, "mean more police and Jiiore courts, all of which cost money, so that the loss of the revenue which would have ac crued from the license receipts is more than made up by the lessened expenditure In preserving law and order. Prince Rupert has at least 1000 people nnd probably more, con sisting of a typical frontier popula tion, yet there are only two .police men In the place and the town Is per fectly orderly. The attorney general's department attributes this state of affairs largely to the fact that liquor Im not sold there. At Hazleton there are some licenses, but that Is a settled place and not a' construction camp, nnd the licenses have hen In exist ence for some time. In other respects It Is harder to get a drink over a bar In the Interior of British Columbia than It Is to locate a mine. There have been some blind pigs at Prince Rupert, but several o them have been prosecuted and con victions obtained against their keep ers and everything possible Is being done to keep the town dry. a This Is a policy which the govern-, mcnt Intends to continue at least so long as unsettled conditions attend ant on construction work prevail. At the beginning of the year the dfepart ment took over the matter of grant ing liquor licenses outside the munici palities and placed It In charge of the superintendent of provisional police, and since that time not a single li cense nf the kind Indicated has been issued. t'M'liS FOK LOCAL OPTION. Temperance Movement In Washing ton Is Active, The cause of local option is to be advanced In Spokane by a federation of clubs to be organized In the dif ferent churches of the city for the sole purpose of working to secure lo cal option, says the Spokane Chron icle. This was determined at a large and enthusiastic meeting held on Tuesday at the Frst Baptist church under the auspices of the Men's club of that church. The meeting was addressed by W. J. Herwig, assistant state superln tendent of the antl-saloon league. At the conclusion of Mr. Herwlg's ad dress, a resolution was adopted that the club affiliate and cooperate with duns to he formed in all the cnurcn es of Spokane with the special object of working to secure local option. The members of the antl-saloon league In all sections of the state are working for local option, rather than for prohibition. PLAN ANOTHER EXPOSITION Sun Antonio Would Olcbrate Its SOOtlie Anniversary. Plans for holding a great Interna tional exposition In San Antonio m 1918, to commemorate the 200th an niversary of the founding of the city, are now being considered, and It Is possible that the project will be real, ized. If the Panama canal Is com pleted at that time, It Is pointed out, the exposition could be made of dou ble Importance. San Antonio had Its beginning in 1718, when the presidio of Antonio the mission of San Francisco de Va lero and the pueblo of Bexar were founded, marking the establishment of the first permanent settlement In the southwest.

KBIP1PE,N THE DRUQ STORE THAT SERVES YOU BEST. ) Groceries by Carload. An incident occurred In this city yesterday which cannot help but prove discouraging to the public spirited citizen. It was the unloading and dis tributing of 5000 pounds of groceries to farmers and others of the valley, who preferred to buy their necessary groceries from a tramp peddler, who toured the valley not long since, rath er than buy from the local dealer who helps pay lTnlon county's taxes. There waR practically a carload of the stuff and farmers came to the car or ware house upon notification to get their "cheap" wares. Glib talking convinc ed the farmer that he was getting things cheap and in better quality than could possibly be had in La Grande. To all appearances the far mers went away highly pleased What the general status of opinion will be when the packages are open ed and the housewife attempts to cook with the things er husband pur chased from afar Is hard to tell. Five thousand pounds of groceries Is quite an Item, and distributed even ly among the grocerymen of La Grande would mean considerable to all. This undesirable occurrence takes place In the best of counties, but It Is to be lamented that they should take place In Union county a place where home patronage, as a rule, runs uppermost In tho mind of every cltl zen. La Grande Observer. Little Interest in Primaries. City primaries to determine the nominees for the city election July In Walla Walla were held Monday.
