ARE BOOSTERS
VISITORS SHOW THEIR PRODJCTS
Hood Ither RitsHtiM l-- Temper'
anre Workers of the State
This Week.
At the meeting " the Methodist
ehuroh Tuesday eveinuK the couuty
demonstrations hy the vUlting mem
hers of the Woman's Christian i'ein
peiaune Union, which is holding its
Htiuual convention in this city this
week, showed that the ladies were not
only hard workers in the temperance j
movement hut that they were boost
ers, ereiy one of them, for their own j
communities. Nearly all of the!
county delegations had heen fur- '
nished with sample products and
boosting liteiature from their In nl
ootnmeicial bodies nud the display
gave an idea of what the resources of
Oregon are.
Mrs. Henrietta Hrown, state pres- j
ideut, explained that this was the ;
first meeting if toe organization at,
which au attempt at Boosting hud
been made but most of the delegates
seemed to be veterans in that line.
At the roll call of counties each dele ;
gallon weut to the rostuim carrying:
typical displays of their products and
the chairman made a short talk on
the lesotirces ot the particulai dis
trict. Nearly every county was pie
sent from I'oos on the southern coast
which boasted of ftult, dairies, Uin
bee and Hoe schools to Wallowa in
the oppesite corner ot the state which
made great claims for her grain and
stockraising proclivities. A good
natured livalry existed throughout
the demonstration and before each
county was seated they generally
olalmed to produce all the good
things which had made their sisters
famous and then boast of a single
produot in which they "lead the
world". Kach county had a yell or
watchwoid which they gave in con
clusion. Mrs. Hrown read her piesldent'a
address Tuesday afternoon and it
showed the progress which has re
cently been throughout the state and
nation along temperance lines. I he
slogan of the convention is "Make
Oregon Dry in 1910." The treasur
er's report showed mi iuctense of 575
in the membership of the union
in the state since the last convention
which is the greatest annual galu the
organization has ever shown.
The storm center of the convention
is about the movement to unite the
forces with 1'rohibitiouista aud the
Auti-S-doon league in a strenuous
oampaign for the state-wide prohibi
tion. The Women's Christian Tem
perance Union took the initiative a
year ago to wage tho present oam
paign. Prohibitionists aud Anti
Siilnun leaguers disoouraged them.
The Women's Christain Temperance
Union claims oredit tor the move
ment.
One of the f Igslfloant tacts in the
reports ot the president's from the
"dry" nniiities was that in nearly
every instance they were aware that
much liquor was being sold illegally
in the arid precincts aud that as yet
they found no way to successfully
prevent the sales from the drug
tores, "blind pigs" aud near heei
establisl ments.

eloquent lecture by Mrs. L. L. Shep

Gentlemen : 1 band you here with

letter to them from tbe Mayor. I at
tach a eopy of that letter and tbeir
answer thereto. They claim to have
been misquoted by me and as they
have made absolute denial of tbe
items 1 took exception to. Their re
port may be oooueidered as amended
in that particular. There is one point
that they have made plain la that the
watei is Impure and that tbe source
of supply is bad and was known to be
bad when it was Drat used. Ion
must either get a supply of better
