East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-18

Reviewing the results of the recent
prohibition vote in Oregon and
commenting on the possibility of
statewide prohibition, the Portland
Oregonian says:
With the vote from four small
counties not reported, 25 OF the 29
counties of the state in which an elec-
ton on county prohibition was held
this year give a majority of the 4317
for the temperance forces, the total
vote being: For prohibition 36,065;
against prohibition, S1,74S.
The four counties not included in
the foregoing counties not included
in the foregoing figures are Curry,
klamath, Lake and Malheur. OF this
quartet, Klamath and Malheur, wet
counties, voted dry by small major
tiles and Curry already dry, voted
TO continue prohibition. Lake was
the only one of the four to decide to
continue the saloon and that by a
small majority.
The vote in these counties probably
win increase the aggregate of the ma
jority for prohibition to about 1900.
These totals do not include the vote
on precinct elections tina were held
in Baker, Clasop and Multnomah
counties. Benton was the only dry
county in which an election on pro-
hibition was not held this year.
With klamath and Malheur yet to
report, IL OF the 13 wet counties that
were annexed to the dry territory in
the recent election gave a majority
OF 3543 for prohibition, the vote be-
ing: For prohibition, 1851; against,
11,0SS. These IL counties were:
Crook, Douglas, Gillian. Grant. Jack
son, Josephine, Morrow, Polk, Una
tilla Upion and Wheeler.
Lincoln Votes Back Saloons.
Including Lincoln. the only dry
county to vote the saloons back in
business by a margin of three votes,
eight of the nine counties that voted
o wet gave a majority of I'LL against
prohibition, the total vote being: For
prohibition, 12.207; against, 1898.
OF this list of counties Lake is the
only one from which the vote has no.
been reported. Lake gave a small
majority in favor Of the saloons. The
eight counties referred to were:
Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Harney,
Lincoln. Marion. Wasco and Wash
ington.
Six Of the seven dry counties that
voted TO continue prohibition gave
the cold water treatment a majority
Of 24S5. The anti-saloon program
was approved by 1927 voters, while
- 6742 expressed desire 10 restore the
-dramshops. This majority will be

CUTTING GRASS IN PARK
Under Supervision of Father Gallagher It Is Being Dressed Up for the
 Coming Summer.

The big lawn mower was put Iu servQce Tuesday and by We'd nesday the greater part of the park had been mowed over and as smooth as a well kept lawn.
 Father Gallagher is spending much time in the park these days and the flower beds and grounds show the effect of the care being bestowed upon them. One of the improvements most needed is a concrete wall around the lakes to prevent the gfowth of weeds in them that hold green scum that forms on he water, especial. ly during the dry summer months. This Father Gallag her hopes to have done soon, but it will first be necessary to devise means 10 raise the necessary funds, about $t5O.

TNE PRESS APPEALS.
ASSOCIATED PRESS ASKS RELIEF FROM FRACTIONS OF THE
 PAPER TRUST.
77l DAILY NEWSPAPERS REPRESENTED
Publishers Complain That DiIatory Tactics Have Been Employed to Pro long Present Conditions In Congress Census Quotations on Print Pa per Denounced.

New York, Apr. 21.--The following
 Representatives of TIA daily news address was adopted at the annual meeting of the Associated press Tues day:
 papers gathered at the annual meet ing of the Associated press, respectful- ly ask the president and congress to grant immediate relief from the ex- actions of combinations of paper mak- CTS. In September, 1907, and again in November, 1907, the attention of the authorities was directed to the excessive prices then demanded by the paper combination. Immediately upon tae assembling of congress, 20 or more bills, aiming to correct these condi- tions and to put paper and pulp on the free list were introduced and refer red to the ways and means commit tee. Persistent efforts to obtain a hearing have been refused. Dilatory tactics have been employed to prolong present conditions and to carry over to another session of congress every proposition designed for relief. All newspapers here represented protest against delay.
 Attention is also directed to the false reports. of news print paper prices which were recently furnished to congress by the director of the census bureau. The newspapers here represented use approximately so per cent of the news print paper consumed in the United States. We denounce the quotations submitted to congress as misleading and unworthy of cred ence. The reiteration of the accuracy of these figures of the director after the error had been called to public attention tends to shake public confi- dence and respect for statistics thus complied

AFTER TwENTY-NINE YEARS.

"For twenty years I have been at intervals d great sufferer from rheumatism. writes James Hyde, of Beebe Ark. "During that time I used gallons of various kinds of liniment and olls, but got very little relief. The attacks were so bad that I was often confined to my bed helpless for weeks and months at time,
 Mot long ago while suffering from severe attack, a sample bottle of Sloan's Liniment was sent to me for trial. My surprise was great when 1 found that it gave me instant relief. and 1 i'm mediately ordered two large bot ties. I have used about a half of one fify-cent bottle, and teel so well that I want everybody atfiict- ed as I was to known what Sloan's Liniment has done for me, and I shall always have feeling of grat- itude for the man who sent me the sample bottle.'

As to County Roads.

The Star is in receipt of a letter from J. c. Yell in Quito in relation to the present unsati sfactory con- dition of the roads of Polk county, There is no subject dearer to The Star than that of good roads especially in Polk county. It believes that the present system of expend- ing the road funds can be greatly improved upon, and that the present laws are very defective insofar as getting the best possible re'ults from the money expended. With this in view an effort will next week be made to enter into the matter in more detail. and it is hoped that others aside from MT. Yell will take the question up studiously. If the county judge or the individual road overseers are at fault, let us seek 6 remedy-not in the spirit of fault finding, but with thoughtful effort to find wherein lies the cause anc the remedy.

MIR. BRYAN WAS SCARED.
Grandson Plays Prank on the Demo
 cratic Leader.

New York. Apr. 22.-WillIam J. it, gave the Democratic leader bad scare Tuesday. MT. Bryan had gone to the pier to meet the steamer Mime haha, upon which Mrs. Bryan. her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Leavitt. and Mrs. Leavitt's two children were returning from Europe. When the steamer swung in at the pier MT. Bryan was one of the first on board. He found Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Leavitt awaiting him on the upper deck. His grand daughter, Ruth, also was there, but little Bryan was nowhere to be seen. A search which extended over the ship. from one end to the other. was not successful. Finally his mother found him where he had hidden him self, under a berth in his mothers state room. When he was drawn out of his hiding place little Bryan threw himself into his grandfather's arms and the big crowd which had gathered on the deck watched the meeting with enthusiastic appreciation.
 From the pier the family went at once to the Hoffman house. Mir. Bry- an was obliged to leave them at once to All an engagement in Trenton, N. ]. He returned to New York Tues day evening, however. to remain with his family until they leave for Ne braska Wednesday.
 Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Leayill said they had delightful trip abroad. They travelled extensively throughout South ern Europe, visiting Italy. Greece, Turkey and other countries.

CONGRESS ID PROBE
HOUSE ADOPTS SPEAKER CAN NoN's RESOLUTION FOR IN-
 vEsTIGATING COMMITTEE
WILL LOOK INTO PAPER TRUST AFFAIRS
The Resolution Provides for a Select Commitete of Six and Was Passed Under Suspension of the Rules Representative Miller of Kansas Ap- pointed on the Committee.

Washington, Apr. 22.-The house Tuesday adopted Speaker Cannon's resolution authorizing the appointment of committee to investigate the so- called paper trust and the general subject of wood pulp and the manu- facture of printing paper.
 The resolution provides for a select committee of six and was passed un- der suspension of the rules.
 In explanation of the resolution MT. Danzell (Pa.). said 1t was a matter of public notoriety that there had been a large increase in the price of pa- per. Never he declared, had there been such an agitation as had been aroused by the newspapers the last few weeks. While there was a concen- sus of opinion he said, as to the in- crease there was no concensus as to the cause of that increase. It was, he said, capable of mathematical dem onstration that the increase was not due to the tariff and he contended that 1t would not be changed by a re- moval of the tariff. However, that may be, he said, there were those who believed that the increase was due to a combination or trust, and it was necessary to get the facts upon which to base bill to meet the case.
 In the opinion of MT. Williams the rise in price was due both to the tariff and the combination and the combination Is due to the tariff" If, he said, 1t had been intended to kill the combination 1t could have been done by putting wood pulp and print paper on the free list
 MT. DeArmond, Missouri, declared that the resolution was but another attempt of the Republicans to delude the people "and make them believe there is an attempt to do something when the direct attempt is to do noth- ing"
 The reporter announced the follow ing as members of the committee to make the proposed investigation:
 Mann, Illinois. Miller. Kansas, Staf ford. Wisconsin, Bannon, Ohio, Sims. Tennessee, Ryan, New York.
