PACET,PR0IIII!1TI0NIST TOURS THE VALLEY "In making an extended tour of through the state I am endeavoring to meet in person as many of the voters as possible recognizing that the naMol of the isolated settler is as large a unit in the election result as that of the most influential cityjdweller, and that it is my duty to show the people that the Prohibitionlpartyis a vigorous political organization and not a mere temperance society," said IS. Lee Faget.of Poi Hand, candidate for United States senator, who spoke in Hood Kiver Monday night. "Twenty-three years of continuous residence and active business life have given me an insight into the affairs and needs of Oregon, whether commercial, agricul tural or political." Mr. Fuget's knowledge of politics has been gained from an experience of eight years as treasurer of the I'eople'a Power League. This organiz ation brought about the adoption of the initiative and referendum, the re call and the direct primary law, state men No, 1, and other measures which are Included In what is known as the "Oregon System." Its president is Ben Selling, Republican candidate for the same oflice to which Mr. Paget as pirea. Among its members are W. S. IJ'Ren, C. E. S. Wood, Dr. C. H. Chapman, H. W. Stone, G. M. Orton and H. I). Wagnon. Mr. Paget is also a member of the Oregon state grange. He was for more than ten years secre tary of the Portland Oregon Trust Company. He is active in all move ments which have for their object the betterment of civic conditions. Mr. Paget passed Monday in an auto mobile tour through ths Upper Valley, where he nresentod the platform and principles of the Prohibition party at meetings held at Van Horn, Dee, Mount Hood and Parkdale. He was accompanied by Geo. L. Cleaver, can didate for congress from this district, and Leslie Butler, of Hood Kiver.

Lewis, to the extent of the sum of monev he had exended last yeur, when an effort was beit g made to ap prehend violations of the h eal option law here. The matter was rtftrrKl t-J City Attorney Derby, who has ren dered the 'jpit.ion that r,o refurd can be made i:t,til the council ratifies the action taken by the mhrshal. This the council will probably do at its r.txt meeting. The Gibraltar Development Co. Mon dny night asked for a permit to lay stone gutters in front of the Bruius building on Oak trec-t and at its side on Second street. Thn" clone will be quarried from the Ku'.e'l? cliffy, fur the exploitation of which the company was organized. It is thought that it will make one of the bent material for gutter rubble. The property owners along 0:k etrei t petitioned the council to charge the improvement axht-u for by them from oil bound macadam to gravel and i oil. It is considered that the oil bound , macadam will cost too much for the. improvement of the street i.t the jits-! ent time. It will e.-mt fiotn $"() up per i lot, while the oil and gravel will only : cost about $'J0 per lot. j GROWERS GIVE CLUB. ORDERS FOR AI'i'LES L ' .J 4iy ij-7-- l-rr?---' mSlL.. ?L t. vkv A .
