COUNTY PROHIBI
TION IS FARCE
Mayor of Tillamook iSays
Plan Has Proved a;
Failure.
The sentiment throughout Ore
eon is radically in favor of the
movement to give each locality
and incorporated city a voice in
, saying how its affaire, as regards
the sale of liouor shall be con
ducted is shown by letters from
business men in all lints of trade,
' professional men. mechanics and
iarmers in all parts of the state,
which have been received at the
headqaarters of the Greater Ore
eon Ilome Rule Association.
Theseletters have been pouring in
in ever-iuereasiuf quantitiea.gand
tbey are especially noticeable as
coming from dry counties.
A letter from Thomas Coates,
Mayor of Tillamook City, to U. 0
McAllister, manager of the Great
er Oregon Home Rule Association,
is a good sample of the letters
w hich have been received recently.
Mr Coates' letter follows:
"I beg to acknowledge receipt
of your esteemed favor of the
29th inst, and take great pleasure
in signing the application for
membership in your association.
"For nearly sir years Tillamook
county had been a "dry" county,
so fur as the law is concerned, but
I believe there is just as much
liquor used as ever. A large quan
tity is sold iu violation of. the. larc.
The local officers have honestly
done their beet to enforce the law,
but the difficulty of getting the
necessary evidence is bo great that
it is almost impossible to secure
enough to convict, and in almost
every instance j where there has
been a conviction, the character of
the witnesses and their methods of
securing eyidence has been so re
pulsive that the juries Lave con ..
detuned the witness more than the
law breakers. Were it not so de
plorable, the situation in Tilla
mook county, so far as the law is
concerned, could be' termed a farce.
Tillamook City was always againrt
. prohibition, but the rural districts
carried the day for it. As a se-,
quence, our finances have suffered
severely without checking in the
least the use or abuse of liquor,
besides making it much more dif
ficult to control the .places where
it is sold. I have heard, so many
of our citizens express themselves
that I am sure Tillamook county
will go 'wet' at the next election
but in any event, I am heartily in
accord with the plan to give in
corporated cities the right to gov
em their own affairs, and I shaj
be pleased to do anything I can to
help in that direction."
Campaign In Open.
The Greater Oregon Home Rule
Association is not conducting a
gumshoe campaign. Everything is
being doue open and above aboard
No spellbinders are employed to
deliver addresses for a stimulated
amount and expenses, no private
detectives are hired to spy on
neighbors, no political buucomb is
handed out. It is a clean cut bus
iness campaign in the interests of
Oregon. Men who have 6tauding
in communities, with the common
welfare Bt stake, are furnished
coDies of the constitution of the
Greiter Oregon Home Rule Asso
ciation, which set out its purpose,
and are asked to file their applica
tion for membership. If they see
merit in the organization they file
their application for membership.
f not, they are not molested, an
noyed or maligned. The proposi
tion is presented squarely to them
and the association recognizes the
right of every rr.au to his own
opinion.

Baltimore, Aug. 7. Harvey W.
Scott, editor of The Portland Oregon
ian, died in Johns Houkim Hospital
today shortly before 6 p. m. of heart
failure, 83 hours after a anrgisal
operation for prostatectomy.
He went off the operating table
Haturday morning in strong condi
tion. . Tins morning at 7 o clock he
began sinking and in spite of the
best stimulants known to medical
science his heart grew steadily weaker
until the' end. He was conscious
almost to the last and the end was
painless.
With him were his wife and one of
his sons. Leslie Scott, who bad ac
companied him on his trip to this city
for surgical relief.
In Portland Mr. Scott leaves two
sons, John H. and Ambrose B., and
one daughter, Miss Judith.
Mr. Scott besau failing nearly
three months aso from an attack of
sciatica. Early in June he went to
Hot .Lake, Eastern Oregon, but the
baths there createlv debilitated him.
At last convinced that only surgery
could relieve him, he started for
Johns Hopkins Hospital, from Fort-
land, one week ago last Thursday
mnrmng.
In the year 1852 there toiled into
Yamhill County over the rough roads
ot early Oregon a prairie schooner
drawn by oxen and driven by John
Tucker Scott, an Illinois farmer.
In the long trip across the plain,
each mile of which had been maiked
by hardships, the mother of the
familv, Anne Roleofsnn Scott, and
one of the children, a boy of 4 yean,
bad succumbed to the privations . of
the journey.
In the family of several children
was one. a stalwart boy 14 years old,
Harvey W. Scott, whose name was
destined to become irrevocably at
taobed to all in Oregon that in practi
callv a half-century of time would
have a bearing on Western progress,
stability and right living.
Coming to Oregon with empty
hands, and a knowledge only of hard
work and of such books as are taught
in a district school, this youth plunged
into the work of reducing a wilder
ness to a human habitation, gained
the rudiments of an education by ap
plication in leisure hours, worked bia
way through a pioneer university,
cast his lot with a struggling news
paper, and oreated an editorial stand
ard that ranked with that of the
greatest journals of the country.
In 1865 Mr. Scott succeeded Samuel
A. Clarke as editor of The Oregonian.
which was then under the sole con
trol of Henry L. Pittock.
Mr. Scott gave The Oregonian his
continuous, editorial attention .qdUI
October, 1872 .when he was appointed
Collector of Customs for the Port of
Portland, which position he retained
for five -years.
Jjuring that interval tnere was a
partial change of ownership in The
Oregonian. Mr. Pittock had sold a
controlling interest to W. Lair Hill,
who took editorial charge, and H. W.
Corbet t and others. In March, 1877.
Mr. Scott bought the interest that
The development of all of Oregon
was ever uppermost in the mind of
Mr. Scott. To him will be given
much of the-credit for the final open
ing of Central Oregon to railway
transportation. During the recent
tour through the interior of the state.
Louis W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railroad, said in numerons
addresses that the attention of the
Hill interests had been finally attracted
to the opportunities for railway devel
opment in this state by the efforts
of Mr. Scott. Freqopnt references to
the isolation of the district seen in
the editorial columns of The Oreson
ian had first attracted the attention
of James J. Hill and these led to con
sultations on the subject with Mr.
Scott. President Hill gave to Mr.
Scott by name a large share of the
credit for the opening of Interior
Oregon.
In 1904 Mr. Scott was elected
president of the Lewis and Clark Fair
Association, but declined re-election
in 1905, when he was succeeded by H.
W. Goods.
Mr. Scott was a member of the
charter board, which drafted the pres
ent charter of the City of Portland
He was a member of the Arlington
Club and of the Portland Commerci al
Club.
When the old Associated Press dis
solved 12 years ago Mr. Scott took an
aotive part in its reorganization and
it was largely through his suggestion
that - the Associated Press was reor
ganizea on the present co-operative
basis. Upon reorganization of the
association, he was elected a director
and continued in office until the time
of his death, making annual trips
to the meetings of the board.
In 1876 he was a delegate to the
Republican National convention, held
at Cincinnati, and which nominated'
Rutherford B. Hayes President of the ,
United States.
in 180 Mr. Soott was a delegate
to the memorable Republican National
convention which nominated James
A. Garfield.
At the time of his death Mr. Scott
was a trustee of the Pacific University
at Forest Grove, of which he was the
first graduate. He had been a member
of the Portland Water Board and
always took great pride in Portland's
water system. He was also a mem
ber of the State Text Eook Commis
sion, which chose the text books for
the schools of the state.
had been sold to Mr. Corbett. and Mr.
Pittock and Mr. Scot together bought
the stock that had been sold to others
and Mr Scott resumed editorial charge.
During the subsequent S3 years of
continuous service as editor of The
Oregonian. Mr. Soott took an active
part in political and civic affairs in
Portland and Oregon, aside fjpm the
discussions in The Oregonian of which
he wag the author.
In 1886 he was the temporary secre
tary of the state convention of the
union party, and at , numerous times
in the following subsequent years he
was an active participant as delegate
in the Republican party conventions
in Oregon.
