The development .of this farm the past year, not only from the stand , point of pure bred stock, but from the modern equipment and sanitary way of handling milk, has attracted the attention of dairymen in produc ing more milk of a high percentage of butter fat. Stockmen and dairymen interested in pure bred registered Holstein stock are invited to visit the farm and see the string of Holstein-Freisian stock which is a Holstein Show in Itself. The farm is located at Carnation Station (on C. M. & St. P. R. R.), in the Snoqualmie Valley, 15 miles from Seattle by auto via Kirkland. Holstein Sal.-.

Committee of 100 Answers Queries To the Editor Dear Sir: As the Com mittee of One Hundred drew up the Ore gon dry amendment, may we venture to ask your space to answer two queries that have been asked broadcast regard ing this measure. These are: If passed, when would the Oregon dry amendment take effect! Why was the word distribution left out of the amendment! The measure would not take effect until Jan. 1, 1916, thus allowing one year for business to become readjusted. As to the very important question of "distribution," J. E. Wheeler, chair man of the Committee of One Hundred, makes tho following statement: "The 'wet' forces are seeking to make capital of the fact that pro posed Oregon dry amendment does not ' forbid the "distribution" of liquor, but merely its manufacture and sale. "They are correct This was done designedly and deliberately by those who drew this amendment. Oregon has many citizens, especially many of foreign birth, who desire to have liquor in their home. They feel that it would be a hardship and an in fringement of their personal liberty absolutely to forbid them the USE of liquor. "The present proposed law does not forbid the USE of liquor by any citizen, be he poor or rich, provided he wishes to have this shipped direct from some other state to his own home. "But the issue this time is tne 'open saloon' and the sale of liquor In clubs and elsewhere. As some German farmers ont in Washington County put it: 'We are going to vote for Oregon dry. Since HUlsboro went dry, we can still have our glass of beer at home if we choose, but we do not go to town and drink more than we ought to, and waste all our time hanging around saloons and neglecting our farms, and spend our money treating a lot of others who are doing the same thing. And if that is good for us in Washington County it is good for the state. "The comparatively small quan tity of liquor that Is or will be drunk in the home, if the Individual must send weeks in advance for it to some distant city, may or may not do serious damage. We can decide as to that some other time, but the open saloon, with its vicious treat ing habits and association, its uni versal temptation, alike to the busi ness man and the laborer, the man who can't say 'no,' and especially to the growing youth of Oregon is in excusably. "And don't let the liquor people worry you with the charge that this will merely drive Oregon saloons out of business: that the same amount of liquor will be drunk by the profit and the revenue will go to some other city or state, from which the same amount of liquor will be shipped to Oregon consumers. "Some liquor is shipped into dry Kansas, but official state figures show the per capita consumption to be $1.25, as against $21 per capita for the United States as a whole. Some liquor is shipped into dry Sa lem, Eugene, Roseburg, Oregon City and other dry towns. But the sa loon is gone. And any business man will tell you, these dry towns are the best in the state. Some liquor is drunk in Portland on Sundays, doubtless, and in homes. But we doubt if the liquor people themselves will assert that one-fiftieth as much is drunk on Sundays as on week days. Some liquor will be shipped Into dry Oregon and drunk in the homes of the few who will feel they must have it. "But every citizen knows the amount drunk and the damage done will be trivial compared with the present conditions of vicious, unend ing temptations to every class of so ciety. Listen! the Eastern liquor in terests are generally understood to be contributing two-thirds of the vast fund that is being used in Ore gon to fight prohibtion. Would they have been doing that if they thought their business, shipping in from out side, would not be cut to a minimum by the change?" Very truly yours, COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED. TIMES GOOD IN DRY ROSEBURG Business Booms Since Saloons Voted Out STORY OF CITY IS TOLD Br ORTON E. GOODWIN Publicity Department, Committee of On Hundred, If you want to find out what dry Oregon will do for Oregon, go to Roseburg and see what dry Eoseburg has accomplished. Merchants, business men and residents are enthusias tic. In fact, I could not find a single merchant who would come out and say: "I want to see Roseburg wet." Dry Eoseburg means just what a dry state means more business. Eoseburg has not known "hard times" since it went dry. Here is the reason as given by Frank Churchill, president of the Churchill Hardware Company, one at the leading mercantile houses: "Farm ers deal in a dry town always. CEose burg dry has meant money in the pockn ets of us all, from merchant to resident. It has benefited everyone but the saloon keeper." Dry Town Better Business. Bankers and merchants all told tfil same story a dry town means mori and better business. Even the former campaign manage! for the "wets" now wants to see Eoseburg dry. Same reason bettor business, Eoseburg merchants agreed that it Oregon dry did for Oregon what a dry town had done for Eoseburg which ap pears certain the state would become more prospefous than ever. Money spent in the saloon is worse than wasted, they said. . When it ' is spent in the stores everyone is helped; besides, the city gets the money not the Eastcra distillery. Dry Town Lower Taxes. All the paving, lighting and street , improvements have been done since Eoseburg went dry, When a town is wet it takes all it can raise to pay the cost of handling the prisoners drunkenness brings, Hence, that is why a dry town means not only better business, but lowoj taxes. Sinco it has been dry, Boseburg has been one of the best financial cities in the state. When it was wet it was al ways in financial "hot water." A majority of tho Council and the Mayor favor a dry town. Dry Town Many Buildings. Here are a few of the buildings im Eoseburg erected in the dry era: $115,000 hotel. $ 63,000 Perkins block. $ 33,000 Armory. $ 12,000 First Trust Building. $ 60,000 Elks 'Club and Opera Hons. No wonder Eoseburg people say a dry town means more and better busi ness. ' Dry Town More Paving. Not one foot of macadam was laid while Roseburg was wet. Now there are 11 miles of paved streets all com pleted in the era of a dry town. An other proof that a dry town means more and bettor business. Carl Shoemaker, editor of the Eoso burg News, said: "There is no movement of any kind to make Eoseburg wet it would not succeed if there was. I wager Douglas County will go dry by 100.0 majority."
