J. E. HOSMER, Silverton, Oregon Send$ ■ T)RY column . 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? The Oregon Hop Growers Associa­ tion was not formed to protect the crop, but to protect the foreign liquor corporations who pull -good Oregon money out of the state and send in bad whisky and l>eer therefor. 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. » What is all the fuss about the Hop business going to the dogs in case To the Chain Gang: the state votes dry?
