West Darling

Sept. 6.-The CORES pondent Of r.
F. D. No. 2 said last week that the
Darling correspondent was licking
about the new mail route. Not as
much as some people around here,
who claim that it was stated that the
route would start from Daring, not
from Little Falls. Many signed the
petition without reading it, and
many cannot read. It may be true, as
the correspondent says, that some
people are natural born kickers, but
if all kept quiet this would be poor
country. but it is not life and death
for the farmers to have it. R. F. D.
No. correspondent says the Darling
correspondent Is afraid of rural routes.
Not at all, but We think people ought
to tell the truth. whether it is to es-
tablish rural route or anything else.
If No. correspondent thinks roads
are improved by the rural routes,
wish he would show where it has
been done. We will take all objection
away If the new route will make de-.
cent roads around here, but that re-
mains to be seen.

FIGHTING LOCAL OPTION
PENDLETON PROPERTY OWNERS
AND TAXPAYERS FORMED
CITIZENS LEAGUE.
Indications Point to a Defeat of the
Measure in the County
Seat.

PENDLETON, Oct. 11.-(SpeciaD-
Umatilla county will. it is now admit
ted. defeat the local option measure
which is to be submitted to the people
in the coming election. While the local
optionists and prohibitionsts have
been working in harness several
months they seem to have gained but
little Roadway outside of the Milton
country and as far as PendletOn is
utter failure.
The anti-lOcal option people seem to
have been slow in getting together to
fight the measure but during the past
few days the forces have been working
assiduously and quietly and have the
situation Well in hand SO to speak.
The heavy taxpayers and property
owners have at last realized what may
result from the measure, should it
carry. and have taken steps to form
Citizens League, the purport of which
is to fight local option and protect the
commercial interests of the city. The
measure is being promulgated by the
residents of Milton and vicinity and
about the only assistance it is receiv-
ing from Pendleton is from the clergy
and a few church people.
Milton has had local option for ten
years and wishes to dictate to other
towns in the county in this very i'm
pOrtant matter. With Milton a prOhi-
bitiOn town it has consumed five bar
rels of whiskey more in the past year
than has been disposed of by the two
saloons in the sister town of Free
water.

This Year.

one week ago last Saturday the
farmers around Dayton deposited $685.
600 in the First National bank of that
city in one day. This bank has now
on deposit over $650,000. This breaks
all previous records and is caused by
the fine crops and good price of wheat
Nothing is scarce up in Columbia
county now but labor and that is
hardly obtainable. one farmer who
planned to go to the st. Louis fair on

a boy to look after the COWS and do the
chores on the place While the family
