SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. Al. c.
sfralley, of Spokane, who has just re-
turned from an extended tour of
western oregon, says that at the next
election Washington's southern sister
state is going dry.
Mr.. Smalley claims Spokane as his
home, although he spends much time
in and around Seattle. He is dealer
in blooded horses, his mission in Ore
gon being to dispose of his stock, and
he said when seen at the Arlington ho-
tel last night that he is willing to
wager fine stallion or a $500 note
that the prohibitionists will carry the
day in Oregon the nevery next time
they have an opportunity to vote at q
state election.
That's no bluff" said Mr.. Smalley,
Il mean 1t. know Oregon like book
