Port'and, Oregon, July 18.—Rev. J.
H. Bennett, one of the field secretaries
of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League,
blew in from Clatsop and Columbia
counties yesterday with news that
brought Joy to the dry camp.
Both of these counties, he reports,
though considered the wettest in all
Oregon, are to be carred by the dry
Oregon forces.
Co'umbia county has been organ
ized by the drys to th» last precinct,
and the Clatsop county and precinct
organization will be completed within
a few days.
Astoria alone has 53 licensed sa
loons, besides various unlicensed joints
and the peop'e are tired enough of
them to vote them all out.
The drys up that way are up in
arms, according to Mr. Bennett, and
the water wagon will have almost a
v alkaway in Oregon’s wettest corner.
ca"y the entire crop is marketed in
England.
They say that the saloon brings
prosperity. Who can give the name
and address of anybody who drank
himself rich?

crop, but to protect the foreign liquor

Seattle, Wash., Julyl8.—The tele
grams from Alaska bring the news
that Sitka, the former capital of the
territory has voted itry.
Recently a saloon census was taken
of Sitka and their Alaska cities under
the direction of United States Judge
Robert W. Jennings.
Under this census the question of
''cense or no license was submitted to
the voters and, while most of the
towns voted wet, Sitka voted dry.
The saloon in Alaska has ridden
rough shod over the liberties of the
people, and Sitka is the first city to
revolt at the oppression.
