SALOONS OR
NO SALOONS
THAT IS THE QUESTION
What Says Wasco County? Monday, June
the 5th, the Day to Kill the Ser
pant of the Still.
(Advertisement.)
Who railed the Local Option Election?
Not the local optionista nor probl
bitionlHta. But few of them ever saw
the petition. It was circulated through
Hood Kiver valley by one of the for
mer saloon keepers of Hood River.
All the saloon keepers of Hood Klver
aud the two at Cascade Locks have
their signatures upon the petition.
The ministers and the temperance
forces generally were opposed to a
special election at this time. The
brewers and wholesale dealers en
couraged the former retailers to make
an effort to reopen Hood River to
the liquor traffic. These are the par
ties who are responsible for this elec
tion. The liquor dealers' association
of The Dalles are publishing articles
in the Chronicle against prohibition.
Tbey say the election will cost the
tax payers $t,U00. Should not the
tax payers then rebuke the saloon ele
ment by rolling up a strong majority
against the reopening of the saloons
at Hood River? Tbey are unwilling
to abide by the majority vote of last
full. The law has not had a fair test.
Less than five months is not a fair
trial of the law especlully in this
case.
The ballot will read :
X For Prohibition,
Against Prohibition.
Those who favor putting the saloon
out of business in Wasco county will
muke their mark (X) as above. This
does uot mean that you vote for the
prohibition party, but simply for the
prohibition of the saloon in this
county.
Decs It l'ayl How Much Is There
In It!
These are the first questions asked
by business men. The saloonlsts
claim you oant1 build up a town with
out their license money. Let us see.
There were four saloons at Hood
Kiver, euch paying au annual license
of 1000. or a total of $2,400. How
much do the peoplo pay into the busi
ness? According to the testimony
of the present of the national retail
liquor dealers' association, the aver
age Income of the each saloon is $15
per day, or $5,400 per year. Four
saloons would cost the people of Hood
Kiver and vlcluity t'Jl,(J(X. or a net
cost, aftor allowing for the $2,400
license, of $19,200 per year. Kvery
dollar spent for liquor is a dollar
less to be spent at the grocery store,
dry goods store and meat market.
The $10,200 would buy 3850 barrels of
Hour, or al)out eight barrels for evrey
family in Hood River. It would buy
(1,400 pairs of $:i shoes, or three pairs
annually for each man, woman and
child. It would build nine comfort
able homos every year worth over
$2,000 each, to help Improve the town
and share the taxes aud bouse those
who would waste thoir money on
drink wore there open saloons. It is
noodloHB to add that, prohibition
THEY WANT A NEW
ROAD TO LOST LAKE
D. Stone who was in the city Monday
from bis homestead on the road to lost
Lake, believes the county court made, a
mistake in not assisting the settlers with
the newly proposed road to the lake.
"This new road," says Mr. Stone, "as
surveyed, would shorten the distance to
the lake at leant two and one-half miles.
The road would be easy of construction,
as It passes through burned timber,
wh'ch could be easily removed, and once
out of the way there would be no more
trees to fall onto the road during the
winter months and obstruct the pas
sage as is now the case witli the old
trail.
"I don't see why there should bo the
opposition to this road there is. Home
fear that if this road were put through,
the Portland Bports would come here
and fish the lake clear of trout. Now
these aro the peoplo who go to the lake
anyway, and if there were a better Mad
many people would go there who do not
do so now.
"A magnificent view of Mt. Hood !b
obtained from this route. There are no
trees to obstruct the scene of the mount
Inn, This point is nearer to the mount
ain than Lost lake, and the view just as
grand- Tliis will be a geat route for
tourists to bike wheu driving over the
valley. It is the most direct route to
the lake, running on the side of Laurel
creek, with an eay grade all the way."
Air. Stone says there are tons of huckle
berries on the mountains about Lust
hike. If this road were finished the ber
rieB could be brought out by wagons.
ThiB proposed road to the lake makes
tho distance but 14 miles from Winans.
The distance from here to Winana is U
miles, making the total distance to the
hike 25 miles.

nie Arbor." That of the Murkley Hros.
is ".Mount Park."

yields the greatest good to the great
est number. Expend the $19,000 an
nually on publio improvements aud
how it would boom the town. And
the drinking class would reap tl.o
greatest good from the expenditure
of their money In these ways lather
than for poisonous liquors.
Why Hood Klver and Hosier Should
Vote for Prohibition.
Make the polioy general. These towns
have no saloons. Hy closing them at
The Dalles and Cascade Locks by
carrying the whole county, it will
prevent the drinking class going to
these places to spend their money.
Also to iHtop the jug business from
the "wet" towns to mar the peace of
the "dry" towns, the entire county
should be brought under the same
policy. Then the increased taxes re
sulting from the thirty saloous of the
c.mnty fall proportionally upon the
property holders of the dry sections.
These are a few of the many reasons
why we should have county prohibi
tion. With the exception of ,the two
saloons at Cascade Locks, all the
revenue from the license fees is re
tained in the town treasuries, while
the country people pay extra taxes
as a result of the evils of the traffic.
A Chat with Kindness Men.
Reading statements from saloon
keepers that the business men
of Hood River were up in arms on
account of the saloons having been
closed, I strolled into a hardware
store, a butcher shop, a gents rur
uishing store, a furniture store, a
general merchandise store and a bank
What was my surprise to find that
evory proprietor declared that his
business had been booming during
the past six months since the saloons
had been closed, Lvery man seemed
to be satislled with his future pros
pocts. One dealer declared his busi
ness had Increased 90 per cent and
that his collections were much better
sluoe the saloons closed. I was fully
convinced that the statements of the
saloon men were all a fake.
Election Laws.
The liquor dealers' association of
The Dalies say it will cost them $5,000
to defeat the measure involved in the
elcetlon called by the suloou eloment
of Hood Kiver and Portland. Why so
much money needed? The tax payers
will meet all legitimate expenses of
the election. Do they propose to use
boodleniouey to corrupt voters? There
are indications that these will be
their tactics. But we would remind
illegal voters that thoy will be chall
enged aud that there is a heavy tine
imposed by law upon any one oifering
to cast an illegal ballot, besides im
prisonment in the penitentiary. The
law will lie strictly enforced at the
coming election,
