The city council has been equally di-
The councilmen who opposed license
did SO because they felt that the town
had been .in existence for 90 years
without a licensed saloon, and they
thought it unwse for them to be the
first to establish one. Another reason
was that they feared the city would
be thrown into litigation, as the deeds
of the president and trustees Of Paci-
fic university have reversionary
clause. that in case ardent spirits
are sold as beverage, on the prop
erty it reverts to the university.
The vote under the local option law
does away with the power of tAe NUM-
CAPABILITIES, which heretofore by a
special act of the legislature were
granted the power to regulate the sale
of ntoxicants by ordinance, and To-
Gates saloon anywhere in the pre-
cinct. Both Nortn Forest Grove and
Dairy precincts voted against local OPP
ton in June, without any special
work being done, and in November the
majority will probably be greater.
Had it not been for the local option
law it is doubtful if licensed saloon
could ever have been conducted in
Forest Grove. but the vote in Novem-
Der is considered likely to favor the
saloon.

Indian Mothers and Dolls.

When an Indian girl dies her mother
often substitutes a doll for her lost lit
tie one. She fills the empty cradle with
feathers. arranged in the form Of the
child. and carries this around with her
wherever she goes, talking to it and
caressing it as she would her loving
child.
If she does not do this she ties in
tight bundle the toys. clothes and arm
let's which belonged to her little one
and. fastening this to the cradle board
carries it as she had formerly done her
child. The Ojibways call these ''unlucky
dolls" because they represent the dead.
The reason the Indian mother carries
her doll in this pathetic way is be-
cause she thinks that the little dead
child is too small to find it's way to
paradise. BY substituting the doll it
will help along until the dead baby has
grown large enough to make it's way
to the spirit land alone At least this
is what the sad Indian mother believes.
