OKLAHOMA is DRY"

That the new state of Oklahoma,
Including Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritories, should adopt statewide pro-
hibition, with its new constitution, by
a majority of from 10000 to 10000,
Is one of the most remarkable devel-
opments of the prohibition sentiment
of modern times.
The result is warning and prom
ise. The population of Oklahoma,
aside from the Indian population Of
the Indian Territory side, is made up
of the same kind of white people as
are found elsewhere in the United
States, and may be said to possess the
same characteristics, the same senti-
ments.
The territory was first settled by
adventurers from Texas and Kansas
who crowded over the border. They
carried with them their prohibition
sentiments, for both Texas and KAN
sas are prohibition at heart, and as
the population increased, this leaven
of prohibition gradually spread
through the entire bulk of settle
ment.
The result was registered in the
election this week.
The strongest anti-prohibition vote
in the entire territory was registered
IL the Creek nation, where bootleg
ging" has been rampant ever since the
territory was organized. The popula-
ton there contains a large proportion
Of half and quarter-breed Indians and
lite in the brush of the river bottoms,
and in the "black jack" timber and
who make it their business to break
every law possible and avoid arrest.
This population has been crowded
closely into its quarters, however, and
everywhere in the rich farming COM
munities and in the stock raising dis
tricts of the western portion, solid,
sane, industrious and strictly moral
class of people have settled.
Saloons in Oklahoma have been as
numerous and perhaps as disorderly
and influential as elsewhere, but their
political forces fell down like a man
of straw, before the overwhelming
sentiment of the whole people.
Within few years, everywhere in
the United States, this sane and sub
stantial sentiment of the people will
be registered against the liquor traf-
fic 1t is a safe guess that Oregon
will be dry" from end to end within
four years and other western states
perhaps as soon.
The utter uselessness of the liquor
traffic is dawning on the people.

of their unstable wealth, scattered
and are lost to her
Her little substance was slowly
wasted. She finally began to take in
sewing, in desperation, and then in
the extremity she nursed, and finally
1t was whispered that she was actu-
ally working for wages for neigh
Dor, whom a few years before she
would not notice, on account of his
poverty.
And the climax came when the door
of the poor house was charitably
opened for her.
The rags she wore this week scarce
ly covered her body. But after all,
they were no more rags than were
the gaudy silks and satins on which
she had wasted her life, her substance
and her sense. years before.

GOOD CITY WATER AN ASSET.

In an excellent article on Baker
-City's resources in the September
number of Sunset magazine, w. c.
Cowgirl dwells long and. fondly on the
city water supply of Baker, which is
brought from Elk creek, II miles dis
tailt, at a cost of 100000.
Mr.. Cowgirl reflects the sentiment
.o of Baker City people when he says
that this excellent, pure and unfailing
water supply is one of the most valu-
able assets and most inviting attrac-
tions of that thriving eastern Oregon
town. ,FRlZl
It can always be offered to home-
seekers as an inducement. Baker is
proud to take strangers over the
course of her water MAN, back into
the high mountains where the supply
comes from a crystal mountain
stream high above all pollution and
contamination from the surrounding
settlements.
At cost of $3.50, 900 Pendleton can
bring just such a supply of water.
The Thorn Hollow springs would fur
nish Just such pure and unfailing
water supply for this city and Pen
dIeton would be done, forever, with
this antiquated pumping plant draw
ing an insufficient supply from the
bottom of the Umatilla river.
1t is necessary to speak plainly on
of better supply.
The cost of a water system, let it
be $25O,0OO or 100000, would be the
best investment Pendleton ever made,
OF ever could make and this cost
could not be considered a part of the
bonded Indebtedness, for such water
system will pay for itself, keep up re-
pairs and furnish the city surplus.
The present water system indebted
ness is being wiped out from the in
come of the system, incomplete as it
is. A gravity system would yield
much more profits with less cost to
the consumer.
This matter should come before the
people at the city election in Decem-
ber. They should be given an oppor-
tunity to express an opinion, at least.
The cost OF the system will never be
any less than at present, with the in
creasing cost of material, and steps
should be taken now.

GOVERNOR JOHN JOHNSON.

Governor John Johnson of Minne-
sofa, Henry Watterson's dark horse"
may not win the presidency next year.
This much is sure, however, those
who read the romantic story of his
life in the October American Maga-
zine will feel an affection for him.
John Johnson is a man you can't read
about long without loving.
John Johnson left school when he
was 13 in order to support his moth
er, left resourceless by her husbands
financial and moral failure. John
was only the second son. His moth
er objected to his leaving school. He
insisted. He saw duty. 1t was the
first element in his education.
He could not at first support the
whole family. His mother took in
washing. Peoples first recollection
of John Johnson in st. Peter is when
he was wheeling his mothers washing
about in a little wagon. But the
washings did not last for long. Two
years after Johns father failed, two
years after John himself went to
work, this second son, this little boy.
Is years of age, came to his mothes
and told her that she must now stop
working. He could now support her,
and also his younger brothers and
sisters. He was now the head of the
family.
His mother resisted his determina-
ton. She was a woman of strong
mind and of strong body. In her ex-
treme old age, when her death was
expected, she used to walk to Kasota.
three miles away, and would refuse
to ride. And her mental energy was
equal to her physical energy. But
John triumphed over her. She stop
ped taking in washing. And, when
he had overcome her, she used al
ways to say that it was the proud
moment of her life. She apparently
was proud to have produced a son
who could overcome her. So, at Is,
John attained to the leadership of
his own family. And all this leader
ship, from then to now, has contin-
ued to be a kind of family leader
ship, personal, intimate, touching.

FOR MIR. HARTMAN.

Mr.. Hartman says he rode for miles
through sections of central Oregon
that is a barren waste, and for that
reason 1t will not pay to build a rail-
road through that country. Many
people have been travelling through
this so-called barren waste for the
past 40 years, and will continue to do
so for the next 40 years II railroad
is not built.
The best wheat land in oregon to-
day was considered a barren waste
before the building of railroad into
eastern Oregon. 1t doesn't pay to
raise grain unless you can get 1t to
market, and no one is foolish enough
to try it. There will be no general
improvement of farm lands in central
Oregon until they have railroad, and
we believe that Mr.. Hartman knows

ROOSEVELT STOOD BY HENEY

To the October American Magazine
Lincoln Steffens contributes the story
of Francis j. Heney, who grappled
with the Oregon land-graft and won
Heney's appointment to the post of
prosecutor aroused great opposition
The bar association of oregon met
and "resolved" against his appoint
ment, and these resolutions, sent to
Senators Mitchell and Fulton, were
made the basis of a protest by them
in the senate and to the president and
the attorney general. Mr.. Steffens
goes on.
This should have shown Heney
that something big and strong was
against him, but he wasn't wise
enough yet to read such signs. Neither
was the president, but Mr.. Knox was.
The president listened to the opposi-
ton and considered it, but when he
spoke to Mr.. Knox about it, the at
torney general declared that II He
ney was withdrawn he (Knox) would
resign. And when the president ask
ed. in surprise, why ne felt so strong
ly about so small matter, Knox ans
wered that 1t was the very fact that
United States senator's and other
powerful persons were so deeply con-
cerned over 50 small a matter which
convinced him there was something
back of it. This satisfied the Presi-
dent and he stood by Heney

whatever is interesting or which has
merit. The premium list covers near
ly every article produced on Umatilla

will be rewarded for your industry

two exhibits OF fine hogs while with

ton are perhaps so specimens which
would be highly interesting to farm
ers. There were but few mares and
colts, last year, while Umatilla coun-

were exhibited, while hundreds are to

RAGS.

This week a decrepit, broken old
woman, prematurely aged and un-
necessarily weakened in body and
mind, was taken to the poor farm in
an eastern oregon county where she
will perhaps end her days.
Thirty years ago this woman was
the best dressed, most naughty, most
egotistical, gaudy creature in her little
village. Her husband, much older
than herself, was liquor dealer and
made plenty of money and his wife,
who had social inclinations, thought
that fine dresses and big plumes on
her hat would win a place for her
and so she "went the limit"
People yet living in good health
and in sane and hearty middle age,
remember when she wore from four
to six ostrich plumes on her hat,
which seemed to fill the entire street
as she passed along, ''lording It over"
her poor neighbors.
Her silks were the marvel OF the
village. The rustic Of her petticoats
can yet be heard in fancy, by women
who could not afford such elaborate
affairs at that time. She was simply
a picture book dream OF fine clothes.
But slowly as the years crept along,
reverses came. Her husband became
addicted to drink and died a misera-
BILE death. after years Of suffering and
intoxicatlon. Her children. stripped

GIRL CLAIMS TO HAVE
VISITED SPIRIT LAND

Members of the New York Society
for Physical Research have gone to
Kankakee, H., to study Florence
Bennett, the sleeping beauty, who has
slumbered since August 10, with in
frequent waking periods of short du-
ration.
Members of the society, as we'll as
psychological experts, are of the
opinion that the young woman's mys-
terious dreamland travels, as told in
her waking intervals, indicate the
wanderings of a soul in purgatory.
Here are some of the things Miss
Bennett has told in her waking in
tervals which startled the psychology
lists.

people we knew before they died, are

it is going and coming.

Mrs. Bennett, mother of Florence,
begged her to tell what she knew OF
her grandmother, but the girl fell in
to violent weeping and begged those
about her to desist from questioning
Her mother continued:
"'When l am just half awake,
she says, L am frightened, because II
seems to me let myself be put in that
white coffin
"She has asked her father and me
many times, 'Oh, papa and mamma
why do you put me in that white
coffin?'
"Of course, that is only when she
is half conscious. When she is fully
awake, she appears as clear minded
as ever, except that there is this aw'

PARADOX IN CHICAGO.

In the special charter election held
in Chicago this week, political par
adox Is seen in the alignment of the
forces for and against the new char
ter.
While the new charter contained 4
provision for municipal ownership of
all the larger public utilities, yet it
also contained several provisions
which were highly Objectionable and
which would have built up perpet-
ual political machine in Chicago, 1t Is
believed.
Hearst, who has always been ia
vorable to municipal ownership, was
forced to oppose the charter, not
withstanding this pet provision, in or
der to defeat its more Objectionable
provisions, while the republicans, al
most to a man, favored the municipal
ownership provisions in order to carry
through Mayor Busse's schemes for
unification of park, boulevard, library
and school management under one
central bureau or autocracy, which
failed by a big vote.
In this election the political parties
were seen on directly opposite sides
of public questions from that ordi-
narily occupied by them. Hearst was
against his pet principle and Busse
stood for something he ordinarily op-

found grains which will thrive in
Alaska. The finest wheat and oats I
