Prohibition LOSSES.

Some interesting figures showing the
tendency of Massachusetts on the question
of licensing the sale of intoxicating liquors
have been submitted TO the legislature by
the secretary Of state.
In 1856 out Of $40 cities and towns only
"a, or Il per cent, voted to grant lice nses.
The popular majority against license show
ed 90 per cent of the people of the state TO
be in favor Of the policy Of prohibition. In
1887, with the same number of cities and
towns, the majority against license had be
come 5l.5S per cent Of the total. The total
was 1916 per cent greater than in 1856. III
1888, when the number of cities and towns
was SOL, So or % per cent, voted yes. The
total vote was increased 2.5 per cent in this
year, and 53 Is per cent was in favor of

! Wherefore OH REVIEW do you seek occa.
sion to trouble the souls of those OF your
readers who live afar, with your meteorologic-
al reports and your weather itemsa Is it not
enough that we know our present state Of
suffering without being continually reminded
OF what it might have been, by having such
items as these put before our eyes twice a
weeka Lowest temper. ture ~, highest tenn
pcrature 5S', number Of clear days 7, number OF
iair days II. Farmers all busy, seeding going
on, everybody making early garden, flowers
blooming and birds singing, etc, etc. This is
nothing less than downright cruelty, and
shows an amount of depravily surprising your
defense of the poor farm contract. (See files
oil the Herald.) 1t is also needless, as most
OF your home subscribers probably know what
the weather is without being told, and those
who do not cannot be supposed to have
much interest in it. Also we would remind
you that there is hereafter, and IN that day
We, the neighbors Of zero and the blizzard,
will remember with compassion those who
have laid up no treasures of GOODNESS against
the burning heat Of dog days, when the mer-
curry goes up to o50 and sighs because the
tube is SO short. We have packed away
solid comfort by the hundred thousand tons,
yea in millions of tons, and in summer when
the leaves wilt, and the birds lay aside their
feathers, when the cyclone faints for lack OF
breath, and our footsteps are traced in spashes
of sweat then will We revel in draughts of ice
water and make glad the hearts of our matrons
and maldens with bounteous plates of ice
cream, iced Strawberries and cream, iced
watermelon, yea! even bananas on ice.
What then will be the state and condition OF
the creature that boasteth himself OF his mild
climate? Nevertheless this present distress is
hard to bear and our hearts turn to the far
west with longing, yea in the visions of the
night We see the green banks of the Umpqua,
the sheltered hooks Of the Calapooia, and the
sunny wales of Myrtle Creek, and our ears
hear the shouting of the waters and the rush
ing of the winds through the fir trees, and our
hearts are sad and weary s'for this place is not
our rest" The winter which up to Feb. 10th
was SO mild and pleasant that we were
threatened with the prospect of empty ice
houses in many parts of the east, has asserted
itself at last, and zero weather with howlirg
northwesterly gales are our daily companions.
1t is much harder to bear such weather now
at the end of a mild winter than if it had
come upon us in due season. The cold comes
too late to help the dealers in wooden goods
and overshoes, as people will not buy so near
spring and it will not do much for coal and
wood dealers unless it lasts all through Marc h
which may Heaven forbid. B. L. HEwF.

Important Decision.

An important ruling has been made by the
commissioners of state school 'ands-the Gov
ernor, Secretary and Treasurer of State. E.
A. Swope, of Portland, and Frank B. Poor,
whose home is said to be in California, were
after the same piece of land in the Warner lake
country, Lake county. Swope filed his appll-
cation first and swore to it before Napoleon
Davis, clerk of the board of commissioners.
Mr. Poor came in afterwards and contended
that Swope's application was irregular, be-
cause the law did not authorize the clerk TO
administer oaths in such cases. The board
has had the case under advisement several
weeks and recently decided that the clerk had
such authority and that Mr.. Swope's applica.
ton was regular. The piece Of land in ques
ton gives entrance to an immense tract o.
grazing lands which some cattle kings Of tha
country thought they had completely sur
rounded. BY the way, all the mars of Ore
gon extant are incorrect in their showing O
Grant and Lake counties. According to tn,
code Of Oregon takes in strip about go mile

thinks Judge Fitzhugh only made about $1,000
out of those contracts. Now if the people do
not stop cutting the Judge down on this con
tract business, it wont be six months before it
will be reported that he gave Messrs Booth
and Burrell $1,000 out of his own funds to get
them to keep the poor and build the Winches-
ter bridge. Such things should be stopped al
once as it is we'll known that our County
Judge is poor man and few more contracts
will ruin him financially.

urging his immediate presence at the bedside
OF his father, ex-senator ard Railroad Com

the first train in answer to the message.
Those best acquainted with Mr.. Slater and
who met him intimately while in the city dur
ing the session of the Legislature, say that he
has not been feeling well for some time, and
that the worry and annoyance incident TO
what he considered unjust and uncalled for
treatment at the hands Of Governor Pennoyer,
had much to do with bringing him down phys.
ically. The old gentleman felt his removal
from the commission keenly and took it to
heart as personal reflection which he did moi
deserve from the governor, and it grieved hin
very much. His illness is dangerous an6
may result fatally.
