What one family spends OF over

LIMIT NUMBER OF SALOONS.

The Portland city council has Just
passed a remarkable ordinance--for
Portland, which has been dominated
by the liquor interests so long.
The saloon license has been raised
from $500 to $500 per year and a
provision In the high license ordinance
limits the number Of saloons to be
conducted in the city. On March 81,
when the new ordinance takes effect,
all saloons in operation at that time
may secure new licenses, but no
more saloons will be licensed there
after until the pro rata Of population
is 500 people to each saloon.
That means indefinite postpone
ment" Of licenses after March 81, for
the present pro rata of population to
saloons is but little over 400.
In Pendleton the pro rata Of popu-
lation is 222, placing the population
at 1000 and the number of saloons at
30. In The Ddlles, the pro rata Of
population is about 1855 people to
each saloon and In La Crande, 200.

GEORGE WASHINGTON IN 1907.

The postofflce windows were closed
today, the janitor of the public
school buildings displayed the flag,
the banks turned the sign bank
closed" 10 The public view, the doors
OF the stores were closed, but the
clerks and proprietors worked .furi-
ously in cleaning up. rearranging and
making ready for big Saturday
trade, ard at the missionary meet
ing this afternoon a paper on George
Washington was read.
BY these outward tokens we are
reminded that February % is Wash
ingtcas birthday anniversary.
But how many of these practices
would be followed were it not for the
law requiring it,
How many Americans engaged in
getting money today, would velun-
tarily close up, give the force a holi-
day and celebrate in spirit, the an
niversary of washington's birth?
1t may be heartless to ask it. But
how many would do it?
