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 :

was right ; the saloon keeper had to pay
a tax, big one, and had to pay it in ad

cause it is not light ; because it is a
crime against society ; because it is the
concensus of the opinion of all the civi

that must fie rrgolated, and the license

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,

meeting, let us taken vote on the ques
tion. Let every man in this room (ex

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

Kansas, Arkansas and the Indian terri

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.
