Sara's climbing on the prater

It happens that January 16 la the
day when national prohibition goes

President Williams as one of the
world's history events that should
be noticed in the passing.
Dr. G. H. Young spoke on the ris

a saloon less nation. He gave chief
place of credit to the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, and to John
B. Cough and Frances E. Willard, as
the two great characters of the tem
perance movement.
Dr. W. H. Lee told of conditjsris
in Albany when there were ten sa

in 1888 to oust the saloon from a
dominating place in Oregon, and of
how Linn county went dry ten years
