VOLUME XXVII mo o" " ) HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NUMBER 48 OREGON VOTES NO ON PROHIBITION AT ELECTION FRIDAY MUCH INTEREST SHOWN BY LOCAL VOTERS. City of Hermiston Votes Dry; Oleo Bill and Sales Tax Badly Defeated. Oregon, after 18 years of prohi bition, became the 20th state on Friday to vote repeal of the 18th amendment and erased every dry law from the statute books of the state. Much interest was shown in Her miston by the voters as told by Otto Pierce and Mrs. W. W. Felthouse, chairmen of the voting boards in precincts 32 and 33. The following figures show how the Hermiston voters felt towards the bills that were on the ballots: Repeal of Prohibition—Defeated 234 to 145. Oleo Measure-—Defeated 247 to 125. Sales Tax Bill—Defeated 299 to 79. Of the nine measures on the bal lot of the special state election, three of them passed in Umatilla county and six failed to pass. In the state, the sales tax was defeated badly with 36,523 in favor of the measure and 124,598 against. The proposed tax on oleomargarine was swamped for the fourth time with an overwhelming negative vote. The following people from Her miston served on the voting board: Otto Pierce, chairman, precinct 33; Mrs. E. P. Dodd, Mrs. David Middle- sdorf, Mrs. N. W. Bloom and Baxter Hutchison. Mrs. C. M.

PAIR OF NUTS AT NUTTIEST IN NEW FILM. One of the very nuttiest pictures ever made is "Diplomaniacs,” the Wheeler and Woolsey opus which plays at the Oasis theatre Friday and Saturday. Audiences are likely t . be lait w h the feeling that they must have fallen asleep and dreameu the picture because no photoplay could be that crazy, but it really is. The central idea about which the nonsense eddies has the two come dians as delegates represehting the American Indians at a Geneva peace conference, and the strongest se quence shows the other conferees fighting for peace. After Bert and Bob have calmed the meeting with a song and dance act, the heavy, a bullet manufacturer, throws a bomb. When the smoke clears away, the entire assemblage is in blackface and goes into a camp meeting style of choral singing. That is just a sample. The gags are frequent and many of them new. Several song numbers are introduced which do well in their place but leave the audience nothing much to carry home. The chorus is comely and well drilled. Marjorie White and Phyllis Barry enter the picture as vamps engaged by the villain to take the delegates' minds off their work. Unlike "So This Is Africa," "Diplomaniacs" is clean, for a Wheeler and Woolsey picture. OREGON STATE MAN HOLDS SERIES OF MEETINGS.

Must be Approved by Board of Army Engineers and President. Bonneville, five miles below Cas cade Locks, was recommended by the district and division engineers of the war department as the site of the Columbia river navigation and hydro-electric dam. Selection of Bonneville as the site for a $43,900,000 dam project that would have an installed capacity of 430.000 kilowatts has been made by Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas M. Rob ins, division head of the United States army engineers, San Fran cisco. This report is not final since it must be approved by the board of army engineers at Washington, then by the public works administrator, and the president.
