POTTER ; WALLOWA, ORKGON Before buying nursery stock or nursery supplies of any kind write uie for prloes. penses besides a profit on the bus hies required a very large income. The rnuupy constitutiiig this an imal income came directly from the pockets, of ithe people, mainly from people who were the least able to stand the loss of it. What did the people of Wallowa county get i t return for this vast expenditure? Scmething to add to thu'r "health or - happiness? -onietliing that added to the com forts of their homes? Something 'hut added to the happiness of wife or children? .Something tint iiuhIh tl.eni heller citizens of the county pr better equipped for the ilnti s of life? Emphatically NO This viist faloon expenditure rep- rei-fnted an absolute loss to the people of Wallowacotinty. They received nothing of vnltie in retuin. What then has hren the re.-ult of prohibition from a hu-iness standpoint to the people of Wal lowa county? This vast sum of money foimerly absorbed through the eleven Pirlnons of the county, has. since Julv 1st. 19nfi hoon turned into legitimate channels of ouines. anu, in the main, has been extended in th nnrchusp nt articles of food, clothing and other comforts of the home, thereby bringing joy into many, joyless loiiicir. , The diverting of this Ureat Slim Of mnnpv.

Olmsted stii.uk JI knows himself where he rtiinds and therefore has no difficulty in making his pobiiion clear The pledge thut for every dollar of county money expended he will require a dollar's worth of value, will he worth thousands of dol lars to the county if Olmsted is elected, nod cw tie out that declaration to the letter.

The organization of a commercial club f,.p ihB MnVih f - Flora is one of the best moves that could be made. Co-operation will accomplish many things in the un-buildinn of the. north ; sible of accomplishment otherwise. Co-operation of all forces in the county will make a real start in the devehmmenr. nf Wult,u magnificent resouroes. That is one of the principal reasons the News Record is in favor of June settlinir iht nnnntv spat n forever. Let us quit our town fight and all nuM together fftrVV.ll.- county. If that is done, the buildinir of a railroad from ibo vHp,. the Grande Hondo in the north end. will be hut th fW oa : vMr biicu ill the development of this rich land. The News Itecord is glad that at least two and possibly -three of the towns in this valley are beginning to see the light. Joseph and Enterprise have a dozen interests in common where they have one di verse. Co-operation will help them both possibly' the one with the most natural resources, or the creator erit and rns.h mn.i u... : will help them both. .

He will further tell yon that dur ing the prohibition period there has been a noticeable and healthy increase in his cashjpalps and that collections have lieen punier not withstanding the fact that a pnnicl has prevailed during 'be past six! months.

Now that the question of "wet" or "drv" is a-iain bef, to be voted on at the general elec tion in june, the above question becomes a bertinent mm f.. il. consi.leration of ach voter of the county. To properly answer the quesiiun requires a comparison of conditions n they exist today and as they exi&ted two years ago be fore liroli'lli tion liPrnniA .Pfil.... Two years ago at this time eleven saloons were in operation in the county. Each of them was appar ently doing a thriving business. Just what was the gross income for the eleven saloons per annum we are unable. to say, but that it aggregated a very laree sura will nit be disputed.' To pay the annual license and operating ex- would destroy the tirosneriiv .,f the county. As a further evidence of the beneficial effects of prohibi tion noon the commercial prosper ity of the courty, let it be noted Mat moft of the. buildinps formerly used for saloons are now used for mer cantile purposes, thus increasing the commercial business of the county. In almost every instance the saloon has been succeeded by a grocery, general merchandise or some other useful urnl beneficial business, and in manv in. stances Hie saloon men tlu n selves have become merchants doing a prosperous business and have declared tlu ir inten tions uever totctum to the auloon bus hies. Are these facts not a sufficient answer to the. question, "Has prohibition helped or hurt the basinets interests of Wullowa county?'' . . From a moral standpoint, how lias prohibition affected the county? Will any niun dare deny that the moral tone of the couuty bus b en im proved undor the effects of the prohibi tion law ? Are not the, evidences upon every hand that our town? are cleaner, purer and freer from vice and immoral, ity at this time thun they were two years ago, when the saloon v as in. the heyday of its power in this -'county.' With the Hb.hslinivut of the snloun -vent the several adjunots nnd an uu desirable olasi of people trmt seem to he a nocei' nry i art of the. business. , To day ia any of thu towns of; the innntv women and children, can go along tho stretts with perfect safetv and free from the liability of Insult ami- association with drunken debauchees a condition that was not possible under the saloon system. It was a notictable fact that at the recent primary election in thi. county Intoxicated men wenj orvupij uous by their absence, and the same condition has bte i true of all pablic gathering since tho taking effect of the prohibition law. In do i tics the mu-nr nf t!,... cln 1 ha been destroyed, ami eandidntes mvl no lonuer afraid of and reouiiv.r in! toatly to tho "saloon votu." He is ip t ' compelled to "put up" to the man whn' claim to have a oertabi iiiunber of votes at his command, under the truest of defeat if he does not do so. Men nf saloon proclivities are swept from the political checkerboard with biief con sideration, nnd candidates are required to have woi I defined views upon the question of the enforcement of the pro hibition law.' - "" " s ! , Such conditions are the result of pro-1 hihltion and the healthy public opinion ' Now anij Seoo jl Hail (1 F urniture, Stoves, DishesKifchen U.teh sils.
