UNIQUE EXPOSITION OF QUESTION PROHIBITIONISTS HAVE AC COMPLISHED NOTHING And Can Not Accomplish Anything With Only Two Great Parties, the Bad People Holding Balance of Power in Both, Declares Speaker. (Continned from first page ) vents the legislation th at the good people want. He used this explanation to lead up to a declaration that the liquor question will not be settled w ith out the form ation of a new party, hav ing that proposition as its most promi nent plank. The speaker laid stress on two state ment seldom played up by prohibition speakers. He said that so far the pro hibitionists have accomplished nothing, and will accomplish nothing until all the good people get together and vote them selves into control of the national government. He also laid stress on the point th at the prohibition party also stands for everything else that is good in governm ent and th at the stop ping of the m anufacture of liquor is only one of its proposed reform s. The speaker excoriated the govern ment that provides one set of morals for dry territory and another set for wet territory.

Under the new arrangem ent Fifth street on the East Side happens to get the same name again. Avenues on the west side, north of Main, are named after different trees; south of Main, after prominent and em inent men. The streets on the west side are let tered, bo as to prevent confudon with those on the east side. River street has been changed to Pacific Highway. Every block has been alloted 100 numbers, so that each block will begin on an even hundred. Property owners will be required to number their houses before July 1st. It is wished to have all house num bers uniform , and as the city furnishes the numbers cheaper than individuals can buy them, it is probable that there will be no trouble in carrying this plan out. The city en gineer has given each lot its number and the city will get the signs here as soon as possible, furnishing the number and putting it up for35c. The city expects to make enough profit from the sale of the numbers to pay for sign boards for the streets. Jayhawker Writes Jayhawkers. W. C.

The road question is being agitated as never before. The district has about $2,700 in sight to apply on the already good road between Cottage Grove and Calapooya Springs, which should make it the best road in the county. Politics are being talked some and LaFollette seems to be the favorite, Teddy second and T aft third.
