reflects discredit on its owner, but the
owner gets the worst o f the deal be
cause economy in feeding the horse
affects its workiug capacity as well as
its appearance. If your horses kicks on
his feed you can correct it by buying
your feed here, as you get the best
quality for the least outlay. Farmers,
contractors and horse owners generally
know that our Feed is always up to the
standard.
If these measures become laws the result will be that the state will take
title to the tidelands and submerged lands and will be prohibited from selling
any of these lands. They can only be leased for docks. No more ship
yards, saw-mills, canneries, or other plants requiring access to deep water—
nothing but docks, docks, docks.
Every citizen o f Oregon—wage earner, farmer, business man or
wom an wants to prosper. These Measures if enacted will throttle pro
gress at the gate. Investors will shun Oregon. This means no work
for the wage-earner, nothing to pay the store-keeper with and therefore
nothing to pass on to the farmer or producer. Let no one think these
hills do not concern him.

“ I served upon the board of trus

remarkable genius for manage

BREWERS USED NAMES
WITHOUT SANCTION
Portland, Oct. 25.—The Com
mittee of One Hundred makes the
following report regarding the
liquor men’s answer to the dry
challenge:
The Union Meat Company re-
pudiates the use of its name by
liquor men as unauthorized.
R. W. Montague declares he
never signed the statement be-
low which his name appears.
The Pacific Paper Company de
nounce the use of their name as
unauthorized.
Ira F. Powers says he never
signed any such statement as
that offered by the Oregon Brew
ers’ Association as bearing his
signature.
W. D. Wheelwright says he
has signed nothing at all in the
past two months, while the Com
mittee of one Hundred’s chal
lenge was made nine days ago,
Dr. A. C. Panton says no one
had any authority to use his name
as a supporter of the brewers,
and certainly not as taking up
the committee of One Hundred’s
challenge.
W. B. Glafke says he does not
remember ever signing any such
statement of the kind.
M. L. McGraw, president of
the East Side Fuel Company,
says he never signed his name.
H. T. Clark, of the Portland
Iron Works, says he never allow
ed his name to be used in con
nection with the Committee of
One Hundred challenge.
Donald McKay says he signed
no statement of any kind what
ever.
Less then half a dozeu men
were willing to admit that they
subscribed to the unique “ declar
ation of principle” in the liquor
dealors’ published advertisement,
which all with nearly 62,000
others were asserted to have
signed.
As soon us the Committee of
One Hundred began to check up
the list, it met with indignant
protests that names had been
used by the liquor interests with
out authority.
