This is how the matter stands goes through the same experience with at present and there is not much hope of fire as most towns with frame buildings, the property owners agreeing, yet for all then there w ill be general regret that this that before the expensive experiment of was not acted upon before.

Olsen Building, I I I Seaside is in the thiots of a local op tion fight, and at a meeting called by the saloon advocates, at which their sjieakrrs failed to appear, the opposite side did some speech making, and judg ing from the Seaside Signal, had the best of it. as will be seen from the luilowiiig account : “Mr. Josiah West took floor and had l»ecn said lie was a havseed planting spuds all day. be didn't because it have to pay any tax icr was right ; he didn’t have to pay a tax for his little business in town, because it was right ; the saloon keeper had to pay a tax, big one, and had to pay it in ad vance, t<* run his business ; why ? be cause it is not light ; because it is a crime against society ; because it is the concensus of the opinion of all the civi lized people on earth that it is an evil that must fie rrgolated, and the license tax is to pay in a measure for the dam* age they do ; but who pays the tax ? it is not the saloon keeper ; I’ll tell v ou who pavs it—it s the starving women and children. Lin against whiskey be cause it hurts me. In the little business I’m interested in are some pretty bad ac counts, and ninety per cent of tbcin are owing by men who patronize saloons You ask why I tmst them ? 1 don’t ; but there are s) id pa the tic, big-hearted men in the store over there, and when the hungry women and children come and beg for credit for something to eat they can’t refuse them. And here the old gen tieman became dramatic in his earnest, lies», saying ‘This 13 a kind of a primary meeting, let us taken vote on the ques tion. Let every man in this room (ex cept saloon keepers) who have benefitted financially, morally, mentally, physically or socially to stand up—stand up, not for Jesus, but stand up lor whiskey !’ but nobody stood up. Then he said ‘Now let every man who has been dam aged financially (in his pocket), morally (in his conscience), mentally, physically or socially stand !’ and a number were on their feet in an instant. Mr Gilhe»t made a reply, stating that the whiskey business was a legal business, recognized so by the government and that gambling had been stepped. Mr. Burke made a conciliatory talk, and said that if the officials couldn’t have the support of the people they had lietler resign. Mr Allen said it the officer? had done their duty in enforcing the laws there would have been no trouble. Mr. Ruth raff told of the wine Christ made at the wedding least ; how utterly destructive to pro. pertv values prohibition had been in Kansas, Arkansas and the Indian terri tory, and said lh.it if prohibition carries in Seaside the town might as well be buried, as property wouldn’t be worth nothing ; it ain’t worth nothing no how.” LOCATE ROUTE TO HILLL9 BORO Lytle to Begin Building United Ra lway Line Thia Season. The Lytle management of the United Railways promises to be an aggressive one. Details of construction are now being looked into by Mr. Lytle, and as soon as he is satisfied on minor [xiints he will send a crew’ of surveyors into the field to make definite locations of the projected road ru Hillsboro. As yet he has no data that will warrant him in ordering construction, ar.d until he is satisfied as to the grades ami the dis tances of the projected line to Hillsboro lie will not start construction. There are several tentative routes to Hillsboro from the end of the Petlygrove- strtet line at the city limits near the fair grounds. One is mapped out by wav of Coinel iis Gap, the distance from Portland to Hillsboro being 29.9 miles. Another runs out of the city past Mount Calvary, and is somewhat shorter, (lie distance being 18.9 n iles. Jt is believed that suitable grades for the heaviest tinflic can lie secured by the Cornelius Gap route. Mr. Lytle having been assured that the maximum grade by tf at road will be 2 per cent. As this grade is (he maximum on the P. R. & N. C". lietween Hillsboro and Tillam< uk, there will lie no trouble in hauling the heavy traffic of the latter road over the Cur nelius Gap line. Work on the H>llsl>oro line will be commenced this season beyond a doubt. The plansuf Mr. Lytle are to complete th? road from Hillsboro to Tillamook by October, 1908, and lie expects to have the United Railways line to Hillsboro completed before that time and in full < »Iteration by the time the P. R. AN Co. delivers freight in Hillsboro. The purchase of the United Railways by Mr Lytle puts the sxstein on a sounder basis than it has jet bad, fur it guarantees the Hillsboro branch a heavy business from the I iilauiook road, and this will, of course, add largely to the traffic handled by the United Railways lined. The freight from lldhboro and Tilla mook will la* uariied by way of Peltygrove and Twelfth street line down Irving street to Front and the terminal yards. Night views ar»« to lie put on the Front street line al once, says Mr. Lytle, and the I lack on that street rushed to completion. He estimates that (he Front street branch of the United Rail ways system will be completed within a month. For the pre m nt. at least, there will lie no change of officers in the United Railways. Mr. Lytle expects that the present official list will be retained fur some tune and perlia|m permanently. W.D. Gladwell and family were guests of H. A. Chopard and lamdy last Sun- da v. Miss Bessie Bays,who has been attend ing college «it Philomath since last Sep tember, is expected home some time next week. She will l»e accompanied by her aunt, Mrs. Metta Gibbons, of Philo math. H.

Chopard came down from Blaine Saturday evening and staved at home until Sunday evening. Garden» and glass in this locality are looking fine since the rain. .Maurice Bays returned home last Sun day after helping VV. D. Glad well for a week. 1*. R. Coulson sold a horse to Sam Lucas last week. As Mr. Coulson is obliged to have two horses on account of the mail, and the horse he sold was one oi his work horses, he will break a fine two year old he owns. It is a beautiful animal and no doubt it will make a good horse. M. D. Swabb, a former Tillimooker, is visiting friends and relatives around Blame and Beaver. FAIRVIEW. Frank Sevcrenct and wife left last Saturday to attend the Grand Lodge of Rebeckas at La Grande. Mr. Weston has moved into his new house and Eddy Weston is attending to Mr. Severence’s work during his absence. Rudolph Kunze has returned from his business trip in Montana and Idaho, and it surely did him good, when you note the fulness of his face. Roliie Watson was in this vicinitv with his honking machine last Sunday and tooted bis horn a little too much, which caused a horse to run through a wire fence, and others to do almost as bad William Hughey bought «a tine team from Mr. Huger last week, I hear he exchanged bis and $250 besides. Jack Rupp aud Rudolph Kunze have taken the contract to haul gravel and will soon begin. Eli met Jenkins and J. Murphy are moving their donkey engine and other machinery from the Wilson River with the intention of going to the Nehalem to log. Oscar Tittle purchased a horse and buggy, aud now I suppose his mother and some of the girls will have some buggy tides.________________ HEMLOCK We have had another nice rain which has improved the grass. We are sorry to hear that our road supervisor. Mr. J. Christensen is quite sick. The Gilbert Bro. are hauling goods for their store at Beaver.
