WANT LEGISLATION
ON LOCAL OPTION LAW
Auli local option leni'latloii it del
tioeil to poke in nue into tbe bail
new Hint will com hofora tba next
lnMntur, saya the Orrgoo Journal.
Ihe liiUor dealer of th aUta want
three cardinal rbaiigttt. made io the
local option Ihw .ta it now atanda.
Ihe hbti-fuloon loigoe will oppose
their request, however, ao tbiit theie
ia every indication of a big tight orer
the luestiou dorlotf tte aea-ilon.
The liquor io'rreatg of tba state io
geneml, and of t'ortlHtid io particular,
want tbree thing. They aalc that the
Iooji option law be ao amended that
cities and towna (f :W0 or mora lu
habitant will le exempt from the
orieratiouof county IoohI oitioo eleo
tioti. They Kant the proportion cf
ciuiintnroa necesamry to call a local
option qae-tion up before the pontile
to be lairiert from to per eem, h tin
der fh present law, to 2t per cent
ihcv want the law Htnended to that
once an election ii held in any pre'
ciuot or district no other ainiilar local
ontion election can be held in that
district for two year.
Aa the law now atanda it is poa
aible, aa haa been demonstrated io
tun CMHes of Pendleton, Medford and
furious other Iowdk. for the rural din
triota of a county to be joined with
the town oo a local option question
with the result that the rural antl
aaloon vote overwhelms the liquor
vote of the towoa and closes the towna
auainat the wishes of a majority of
the town's reaidenta. ihe aaloon In
terests contend that this Is not fair
and that the law should be amended
ao that the municipal governments
can control tbelr owo liquor tights.
The law now requires that the signa
tures of 10 per cent of the voters of
any district can compel the aubmls
sIod of the local option question to
the people. The saloon interests con
tend that this proportion should be
raised to 20 per cent ot tin legal vot
ers of any diatrlot.
it Is now possible for the anti-sa
loon league to call :in election in any
district at any election, if the dis
trict refutes to vote tlio anti-saloon
people ciiu cull the question up at the
next election, do matter wlien tne
date may fall. Should the district
vote dry, however, the saloon people
cannot call the question up agHiu for
(wo years. The saloon men contend
that I his is not fair and ask that both
the aaloon interests and the aiiti
saloon league bo put on the same foot

Train Itobber Confesses
In tbe presence of SlierilT Stevens
aud deputies representatives of the O.
K. A N. company and newspapermen,
William liuike, the assumed name of
a young Portlancijmau, 21 years old,
uontessed that be took part iu the
robbery of an OH & N. passenger
train near Portland Thursday night
last. He implicates Jaok Hayes, alias
Walton, alias "Slim, "exconvict from
Folsom and a youth who like Burke
lives iu Poitland, whose name is w th
held until his arrest which is expect
ed momentarily.
liurke was arrested last Moudny.
He made tbe confession, he said, I e
cause be was sorry for tbe part he hud
taken and because he bad been given
only 11.25 ns bis portion of the booty.
Hayes, later, aooordiug to the confes
sion, took possession ot all the vain
ables secured, "double crossing" the
others by telling them be found noth
ing In the express safe.
Hayes, who was hi rested Suuday,
bad on his pet son tbree diamonds,
which he said were given to him by
"Cbioago Wbitey," said to be a
"yeggman." A telegraphio desnip
tion of tbe diamonds shipped to a
local llrm tallies witb tbe three jewels
found Iu Hayes' possession. Hayes
denies absolutely any connection
witb tbe crime, but became so involv
ed fu a maze of explanations that he
lost tra k of bis statements aud Le
oon. lug angry sullenly retuaed to tulk
further.
After being, put lu jail, liurke Iden
tified Hayes as the mau who bad been
associated with him iu tbe robheiy.
The capture of tbe suspects resulted
from tbe discovery of a "blioker"
dropped by one of the robbers after
leaving tbe soeue. lliis was traced
through its owner to Hayes posses
sion.
Mo Use for a l'oorhonse
The Athena Press mentions the sile
ot Union couuty's poor farm In this
manner :
"Over tbe bill to the poorhouso,"
the sentiment that has made strong
hearts weep, Is no longer to be known
in Union county. The poor bate tin
uome so scbioo, the oenditlou of the
people so opulent that the ouunty has
no use for the unused aud unhonoiod
spot and It will be sold to (he highest
bidder, January 7. Tbe county will
accept the highest bid, and the buyer
will have a chance to pay for tlie laud
as io tbn dlscietlou of the county
court may seem proper and best.
Union county Las no use for a poor
farm aud after trying the expeilmont
tor a number of years It is given up
as Impracticable. Tbe land used for
the purpose is ' ot the bbst iu the
Urande Hondo valley, aud hm it per
petual water right, making It valuable
tor fruit and vegetable production.
The county court will convene Jan
uary 7 to consider bid and sell the
property. After the tlrst of the year
the Indlgout citizens of the county
will be cared for privately.

ially lr the case of nursery stock of
tbe natuie of plants, vices and bush
es, (he season has b en the most re
structlve.'ever kuowu. Msuy nursery
mto hose rctice it has been for
years to bif stiambeiry plants for
lull ?etting, were compelled to notify
tbeir customers that they bad no
stock this jeer tbat could be used for
(bat purpose, and many of them are
oow looking askance at tbe slim pros
pect ahead for strawberry plants for
spring setting. The nursery tbat baa
succeeded iu bringing out a bait-crop
ct strawberry plants is tbe exception,
we are advised, wbiln many admit
tbat tbe loss will run from 50 to 75
par cent.
One eltoct of this situation, ot
course, will be to send tbe price of
nlnntri to a somewhat bliihei point
than ever belore baa been reached, aa
the scarcity of plants has made It Dec
isarv for tbe nurseryman to raise
prices to lave themselves. Hut Booth
er effect ill be to make Ibe straw
berry itrolf a scarce aiticle, because
so many ct tbe growers who have
failed to take especial caie of tbelr
plants during : tb drought will find
themselves out of business. Nurseiy-
men are looking forward to a tremen
ft una business ii blaots in JU1U as a
result of these conditions, and K. M.
Kelloua k Co.. at Three Kivers, Micb.,
writes tbat they will tell out 110 sores
next spring, so confident are lliey
that there will be au unprecedented
demand for plants in l'JIO.
One more Important lessou to be
learned from the existiug situat'on is
that the man who knows how to grow
strawberries according 'o best nieth
ods has Iho opportunity cf a lifo'lme
to establish himself In lue u.sl pront-
able line of boriculure yet discovered.
Never before ha mch a conditirn ex

Kditor Glacier: Deal sir, I just
want to tell you what a nice Christ
mas tree we bad at home, a. way bsck
from town. 1 never saw as nice a
borne tree in all my life, as we all
were here it being tbe llrst time iu
fire years that all our children were
at home. They aft brought presents
snd put them on the tree. The tree
was nicely decorate' and could not
bold bait tbe presents, so tbey just
put them on the floor under tbe tree.
Editor you just ought to have been
here and seen the children when Old
Santa Claus came in at the dooi with
caudy and nuts He passed them to
tbe children first. Mr. S V. acted as
Ssuta Clans, ho alo took the pres
ents oft tbe tree aud two others band
ed them to whoever they belonged.
I hove i nephew bete witb bis tam
lly from Tba Dalles, just lately from

when 1 saw him 17 yean ago, but now
he has a nice wife aod four nice obil
dren. Mr. Kditor you ought to hear
them sing, my nephew picks tbe
guitar aud the childien slug like
uitingiij'ns. My husband bought our
childien a nice organ the night before
tbe Christmas tree. Tbey all eujoyed
a present like that.
M hlzakl Implies to P. S. W.
Boyd, Oregon, December 27, 100t.
To the Editor: I have read the. il
logical argument of P. S. W. Tbe out
line of bis letter is tbat Ihe Japanese
are living on rice and tbat tbey send
back the money to tbeir brethren or
friends and work io kltobensaod take
girls' work.
Indeed, I do not deny that tbe Jap
anese live on rice, but must explain
it to P. S. W. He thinks tbe lice
is ohoap food and the Amcrioana oan
not live on such a food. But read tbe
notations ot the market. Oue bushel
of wheat sells for 9") cents and a pound
of lice for CI cents, lu fuct rice is
not a cheap food. Its nutritions ele
ments Hie as goud as flour aod the
Japanese have been living ou this food
ever since he debated trom bis moth
er's milk, l'lie rice is the daily bread
of She Oriental' ns tbe baked flour is
tlio bread of the Occidentals. The
Japanese are healthy aud vigorous on
the rice. Their living is not as low
as some think. As the Europeans
oau't live entirely on rice, the Asiat
ics cau't change tbeii food so radical
ly, but we are taking the bread and
biscuits once or twice a day. Tbe
ouly thing that tho American laborer
oan blame the Japanese for is that
the luttei is more thrifty than he t.
I am a student of the social science
aud have munh interest and t-yiupntby
in the labor uniona of tbe worli. The
laboring chiHS arc (be buck bone ol
svoiy couutiy and should bo respect
ed and protected by tiie goverumeut
with every pcssihlilty. And (ha cap
italist n 1 1 -.t realize that he cann it do
anything with his gold unless there
is a sullicient labor to pmduco :.i
manufacture tbe demanded goods for
the world's market - But the laboier
should not forget that the daily work
that he is doing is a blessing from
the Lord and is a service lor the tel
lowmaukind of tbe world; must obey
and obseive tbe laws and be thrifty.
Kvery cent he earua Is a reward fci
his sweat, so ho must be careful for
what he should pend It. Hundreds
of millions ot dollars are spent annu
ally for Illinois and cigars in this
country. Ihe Japanese will not barm
them, but what a terrible enemy tbe
liquor aud tobacco is. Hundreds of
families aie ruined and hundreds of
wives seek divoroes thereon.
The human being ought Io love his
parents ami brothers, especially tbe
parents aud hi family. P. S W. tries
to attack the Japanese because they
send the money to their loving ones.
Not only the Japaues' ; Italians. Jews,
Kacudiuavians, Germans, t rench and
Americans ton, love bis parents aud
That you all may en

Hood River people are raising ap
ples (or a business, money, not for a
pleasure or rewardless work. It is the
same for everybody. They are work
ing foi money, to live with it and to
save it for his family's take. It is
tbe enme for tbe Japanese. He baa to
support bis family, has to send bis
children to scho il. Ihe Japanese In
Hood Kiver work in orchards. The
orchards bear the apples. Apples are
sent to Europe and bring the gold
trom there. A trifle ot it may be sent
to Japan through the Japanese labor
trs, out it Is boiught bark to Ameri
ca by the wheat or tome other manu
factured goods; or perhaps money
goes to England for some merchan
dise that is purchased by Japanese,
and at tbe last, it may come back to
the (J 8. tor the cotton or apples
which are purchased by (he English.
So the ciiouiatiou of tbe ourrenoy of
today is not local, uot provincial, it
is international.
Perhaps Hood River oan go ahead
without- trny Japane.n, but nobody
will deny that tbe Japanese give a
little benefit to whatever they are do
ing
I have the same idea witb P. S. W.
concerning of the kitchen woik by
the Japanese. They ought to get out
of tbe kitchen as soon i s tbey can
But P. 8 W. is misunderstanding tbe
sord "ambition". The Japauese iu
the kitchen is tbe most ambitious fel
low you can dud. He is learning the
English in tbe kitchen and studying
tbe borne life of tbe Americans. No
body will think there is an ambitiou,
an inspiration or an Imagination iu
tbe brain of a Japanese in tbe kit
cben, bnt it is a mistake. He bas tbe
greatest ambitiou among tbe Japan
eee.
In taut, there are not more than
Hve or six Japanese in Hood River
who are workiug iu tbe kitchen, and
tbey aie sll students, ibey are rie
psriug to do tomelhiug witb the Eng
lieh Ihey have learned In the hot
work room. Most of tbe Japanese
graduates of tbe American Unlver
sities onoo passed through tbe kilcheu
life.
