SUBMITS TO An Interview
Says This Nation Is Too Young
to Begin the Tearing
Down Process.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 4.-John D.
Rockefeller thinks the results of two
years of "muck raking" is very bad.
In an interview he says: "If we limit
opportunity it will stop national de-
velopment
Twill the individual strive if he
knows his hard won prize is to be
snatched by the government? This
nation is too young to begin tearing
down. 1t must build up.
"In Europe when attacks are made
on our packers the Frenchmen are
gleeful. They hate us and they have
used our own charges against the
packers as hot ammunition.
'They are anxious to get the better
of us in world trade. In the east,
Japan is in the same way developing
into wonderful power.
1--WE must develop our enterprises,
not limit opportunity. Is it common
sense to tell our young men on whom
the future depends that they can hope
for no other reward for carrying our
commercial flag forward, than fren-
zied attacks at home and all the
handicaps their own government can
put upon them?"
He said of charges made against
was that he tried to dictate the
course of study in those institutions
which he endowed. He said: II never
made any suggestion"

Derby Day Attracts Thqus'

STORES CLosEDATl O'CLOCK
Hundreds of Visitors From Out
side Points in Attendance
This Afternoon.

Derby day took a crowd, estimated
by Secretary VanDeWater at 5000
people to the fair grounds this after
noon.
In addition to Walla Walla people
the fair officials estimated that there
were close to 900 visitors from out
side points in attendance at the fair
this afternoon. Morning trains
brought big crowds from Milton, Wes-
ton and points in Umatilla county
| while the w. & c. r. had close to 100
people aboard from points along its
line.
According to an agreement entered
into by merchants and business men
yesterday practically every store and
place of business aside from the sa-
loons closed promptly at i o'clock
this afternoon.
The county Commissioners this
morning issued an order to close all
the county offices in order that the
court house officials might visit the
fair
1t was a typical racing crowd that
streamed through the main entrance
at the fair grounds this afternoon and
scattered about the grounds. Before
the races started the main exhibition
pavilion and merchants hall were
the main attractions and it was es-
timated that fully 5000 people passed
through the main entrances up to
o'clock. In anticipation of a big at
tendance the fair officials put extra
men to work this morning getting the
big buildings in holiday shape.
The big crowds filled the grandstand
to overf1owing and the surplus humani-
ty spread into the betting ring and
over the grounds wherever a point of
vantage to view the race course could
be secured.

SALOON LAWS
ARE SMASHED
New Ordinance Framed 10
Favor Liquor Trade.
SUNDAY CLOSING ELIMINATED.
New Bill Overlooks all Provis-
ions Working to Injury
of the Bars.
SUNDAY CLOSING ELIMINATED

Under the terms of the new saloon
ordinance introduced at the council
meeting Tuesday night, a saloonkeeper
must be convicted three times within
one year in a competent court of ju-
risdiction Of violating the terms of his
license before the council has the
power to revoke his license.
The new ordinance overlooks pro-
viding a penalty for violations of the
Sunday closing law, or of permitting
gambling in saloons, and practically
places the enforcement of the terms
of the ordinance in the hands Of the
chief Of police.
Opposition Develops.
Decided opposition has already de-
veloped among members of the coun-
Gil to that section Of the ordinance
requiring a saloon keeper to- be con-
victed three times of violating the
terms of his license before the council
can take action in revoking it.
The new ordinance merely requires
the saloonkeepers to keep an orderly
house and prohibits him from selling,
or giving liquor to minors, or probated
drunkards, as covered by the state
laws. The original ordinance con-
tained a clause prohibiting the SELL
ing of liquor or keeping saloons open
on Sunday, but this was eliminated
before the bill was introduced in the
council Tuesday night
Limit Of Saloons.
The number of drinking saloons Ii
censed under the proposed ordinance
shall be limited to one for each 500
inhabitants within the corporate lin
its of the city, The license fee re-
mains at $1,000 a year under the new
ordinance and all licenses now in force
under the present ordinance are to re-
main in full force and effect.
