Pa tron ite One Another for the Upbuilding of Town and County.
Six drunks is McM innville’s record for last week. W e
opine that was hard to equal in the days when they had
four saloons running full blast.
Talk about Bryan’s facility for running around the
country and shooting off his mouth. Roosevelt could
g iv e him a city block and distance him in a mile.
The Oregonian served the Item izera very dirty trick
Saturday when it credited that assembly editorial to our
pen. The assembly cannot expect to win out in Polk
county by adopting such methods as that.
To our notion the state republican committee played
bad politics, as Timothy Geer would say, when it re­
fused to adopt that report favoring the abolition o f the
assembly. They could have adopted it. even if it did
go against their policies, the same as Bowerman came
around to favoring the primary law, after having made
and created the assembly idea o f nullifying its provisos.
The assembly candidates are now all doing their best
to hedge on Statement No. 1, and are trying their best
to make the voters believe that they were for it all
along. Such thin work will hardly go down with the
intelligent voter, who has already made up his mind as
to what candidates are sincerely in favor o f that method
o f electing a United States senator and the other laws
that give the people a chance to rule.
Such men as Hofer, Dimick, McGinn, Laferty, et al,
who claim to be supporting a great principle, and after
they have secured or been defeated for what they de­
sire, continue to boost into office the men whom they
know are against said principle, are no more to be trust­
ed, nor as much, as the men who have fought it from
the start. It conclusively proves that all they wanted
was an office, and that they did not have the people’s
interests at heart in any way.______
Push things! See how much you can crowd into a
day -without crowding yourself. Be cool, but make it
warm for your neighbors. Attack the difficult proposi­
tions. Get a reputation for doing the necessary work
which other people are prone to avoid. A s Emerson
has said: “ Do the things you are afraid to do.” Push
things. Execution is better than a bundle o f poor ex­
cuses. Franklin said that the man who could make an
excuse could hardly make anything else worthy o f a
man. So push things! Work, as a rule, will not worry
you, i f you work at your work and worry it through.
Friend Elliott came back at us last week, but still
with the same old cry regarding the evils o f the saloon.
This we frankly admitted on the start, our contention
being that prohibition does not prohibit in any shape or
from the misuse o f liquor drinking. Up to date we are
patiently waiting for our prohibition brethren to show
us what good the local option law has been to Polk
county, either individually or as a whole. W e have asked
to be shown that it has not been easier o f access to the
young man and minor than ever before. W e have asked
for one instance o f a drunkard reformed. Surely after
these two years o f dryness something has been done in
that direction, and the good result should be blazoned
forth to the people o f the county, that they may know
that their votes at the last election were not wholly in
vain. Do not be bashful, gentlemen, but speak up.
PR O R PE R O US OREOO.V.
The apple crop o f Oregon for 1910 is estimated to be
1600 carloads or approximately 1,000,000 boxes. The
value o f the crop is $2,000.000 Oregon has 93 per cent
o f a full crop. Oregon orchards yielded prunes this
year estimated at 15,000,000 pounds. Quantity and
quality are superior to the 1909 crop. Prunes will bring
the state about $1,250,000 this season. The peach crop
has been the largest in the history o f the state. Grapes
o f the Rogue River Valley, the W illam ette Valley, The
Dalles and Eastern Oregon are excellent in quality and
appearance, while the yield is large. The largest fruit
and vegetable evaporator in the United States is located
at Dayton, Yamhill County. The W illam ette Valley
produced 100,000 bales o f first grade hops this season,
as compared with a yield o f 82,000 bales last season.
Oregon's cranberry harvest has been heavy. Four hun­
dred bushels an acre, with a clear profit o f $2 a bushel,
is not an unusual yield for Western Oregon marshes.
An industrial bureau has been established by the Port­
land Commercial Club, with R. W. Raymond at its head.
The new adjunct to the Club work will aid in the estab­
lishment o f factories in the state at large and at Port­
land. During the past five years, statistics show that
Oregon has increased 50 per cent in manufacturing. It
is expected that 20,000 wool-growers will visit Portland
during January next, when the National Association o f
Wool Growers will hold its annual convention in that
city. Oregon’s public lands comprise 18,225,694 acres.
Eastern Oregon has 500,000 acres o f school lands. Be­
cause o f attractive colonist rates in effect this Fall, the
immigration to Oregon has been greater than ever be­
fore in a like period. The total value o f agricultural
product* o f the state for the current season is given at
$115,000,000. Oregon harvested 17,000,000 bushels o f
wheat this season, 11,000,000 bushels o f oats, 6,000,000
bushel* o f potatoes, 2,000,000 pounds o f wool and 100,-
000 bales o f hops. Portland building statistics show a
decided increase. September 1910, 606 permits, value
$1,391,260; September, 1909, 509 permits, value $1,288,-
300. Oregon banks have increased in number since
1909 from 204 to 232. Total deposits for September this
year were $142,670,514, an increase over 1909 o f $20,-
698,666. The surplus this year is $4,798,663. Portland
banks show an increase o f $9,712,506 over the same
period o f last year. Lane County has 38 lumber mills
with an annual cut o f 200,000,000 feet. An energetic
campaign will be carried on throughout the Northwest
fo r more hog raisers. Following a conference at Spo-
hane during the past week, it was jdecided to ge t the
railroads, agricultural colleges and newspapers to work
in co-operation to arouse interest among the farmers.
An information bureau on the hog question will be main­
tained by the Portland Union Stockyards company and
a systematic effort made to turn the attention o f the
farm population toward this profitable industry.
R E V .J . W. W E B E R , O F IN D E P E N D E N C E .
W e have never had the pleasure o f meeting the gen­
tleman named above, and did not know before that
there was a man by such a name residing in our fa ir
county, until we noticed a letter o f his in a recent is­
sue o f (he Oregonian, in which he endeavors to prove
that we were not exactly truthful in a recent article in
which we stated the effect o f prohibition in Polk county
fo r the last two years. W ith all due respect to the
cloth, and to the gentleman himself, we must again say
that what assertions we made are to be substantiated,
by facts, while in all probability the minister’ s know­
ledge comes from hearsay, as is too often the case in
the argument given forth by prohibitionists.
The gentleman goes to the records and finds that
there were not as many government licenses issued for
Polk county as there were when the county was wet.
Well, w e would hardly expect there to be, but that does
not prove us wrong when w e asserted that there was
more liquor consumed in Polk now that under the old
regime. One has only to keep his eyes open and notice
the shipment into the county, by barrel, by box, by
suit case, by hip pocket, and in numerous other ways
to know that our contention is correct, and has nothing
to do with the issuing o f licenses to sell by
the United States government. A s far as this conten­
tion is concerned, we have only to cite the statement o f
a brother worker for the gospel in this same town o f
Independence, who in the same week stated publicly
that Independence was in a worse condition right now
as fa r as traffic in liquor was concerned and the demor­
alization o f the young man than it ever was under the w et
way o f doing.
This minister likens us to an anarchist, because a fter
seeing drunkedness going on and the law violated, w e
do not step in, and assist in g iv in g evidence for the
conviction o f guilty parties. As a general thing a
newspaper man has enough to do o f sticking his nose
into other peoples’ business in his daily quest for some­
thing to entertain his readers, without making a pri­
vate detective V)f himself and recklessly squandering
his hardly earned few hours o f sleep in the running
down o f men who are having a good time on booze. I f
a man wants to have a good time o f an evening by the
imbibing o f a limited amount o f liquor, w e consider
that his privilege and none o f our business. I f he car­
ries such to an extreme, we have officers o f the law
whose duty it is to look out fo r him. And right here
w e want to say a word about this same officer o f the
law that the gentleman from Independence takes to
task for what he alleges is a gross violation or non-per­
formance o f his duty. Take fo r instance the sheriff o f
the county, a man who with one assistant is supposed
to collect the taxes (which is really fo r most months in
the year a pretty good job for about three men) take
care o f all the civil and criminal business that comes in
the justice, county and circuit courts, and which means
riding over the county day after day and night after
night to keep up with it. Y e t he is expected by some to
stop the ordinary work o f his office, which generally
keeps him busy from 12 to 14 hours a day, and go to
snooping around, no matter what other important work
is on hand, to catch and gather up evidence to convict
some person whom it is believed has been violating the
local option law. Only last week the sheriff told a par­
ty who came to him with a tale o f alleged violation that
he was perfectly w illing to make the arrest i f the evi­
dence was forthcoming, but that it would have to be
secured before he could act in the matter. A ll o f which
was perfectly right and proper, as Polk county has al­
ready had to expend many hundred dollars since the lo­
cal option law was put in effect on cases where the evi­
dence was insufficient N ever yet has any officer o f the
law refused to serve a warrant, nor will they do so, but
most o f them have other duties o f government to per­
form there are more laws than one to be looked after.
That both Dallas and Independence have prospered
during the last two years, we are free to admit. They
could not help it with the influx o f new people that have
constantly been coming in, and the continued new dis­
coveries o f what our county is worth and ways to utilize
such worth, and it is also true that thousands o f dollars
more would be in the county today, had it not been sent
away to other counties to purchase liquor with.
Yes, I claim to be as good a prohibitionist as you or
any others who labor under that appellation, but I believe
in striking at the root o f an evil and not tearing a little
o ff o f the top o f the stem, while the plant keeps on
sturdily growing. Your attempt to make Oregon dry
in 1910 will result in a most disastrous failure, be time,
money and labor expended to no good end, and the
liquor traffic will still go on in the state and union as
heretofore, the only difference being that the temper­
ance movement will have received a setback hard to re­
cover from. Bent in the right direction, the misapplied
energies o f the many people who advocate either tem-
ance or prohibition, might be o f wonderful avail and
work to the good o f the nation and the people who re­
side therein.
