are eliminated city government will be
less expensive. However, this is not
the experience OF towns that have closed
their saloons. For instance Hood River
an eastern Oregon town near by, in 1904
closed it's saloons. 1t found the cost Of
maintaining city government in dry
town yerv nearly as great as it was while
saloons were running, and in the general
ele ton OF 1906 it voted for licensed sa-
looms.
The country taxpayer may say that is
a matter in which he has no concern
that it is none OF his affairs how much
the business men of the town are taxed
but if he will stop to consider that every
merchant, mechanic and professional
man who lives IN town enters into his
expense account what he has to pay as
taxes, and that in order to protect him.
self against loss adds to the price he
fixes on The goods he sells 10 the farmer
or the service he may render his custo-
mers, therefore any additional burden
he hos to bear comes indirectly out OF
those whom he serves, in the way OF in
creased prices, hence the farmer is In
directly interested in keeping the rate
of taxation even in the towns down to
the minimum.
Heppner and Lexington have been
cited above BET ause of the fact that the
other two incorporated towns of the
county-Hardman and Ione-did not
collect special city tax last year, How
ever the former had two saloons paying
$500 license each. and the latter two
paying 800 each. Had they been de-
prived of the revenue from this source
a high special tax would have been re-
Quired in both these places.
These are cold facts that cannot be
gotten around; the expenses of city
governments must be met, if not por-
ton of it from license, then all must
come from direct taxation upon proper
ty. Which do the calculating property
owners want? 1t is their privilege to
say on the 1st OF June.

The Strangers Club Room.

Reader, was it ever your misfortune
to find yourself in strange city or town
of cold winter day, with no friend to
greet or welcome, with no place to 90
except stuffy. uninviting room IN a
boarding house or hotel? If so you can
probably appreciate what the saloon
means to the traveller who is away from
home and friend, or who perhaps has
neither.
The saloon door is ever open to him,
there he can form acquaintances and
perhaps make lasting friends, there he
can go when the rest Of the world is
closed to him. 1t possibly may e said
he said he bad better 90 nowhere than
to the saloon, or that il he finds him self
away from home and frienr he had
better lock himself up somewhere alone,
where evil temptations cannot be thrust
in his way. But human nature Graves
companionship. 1t is unnatural to be
alone. Men become unlike real men
who do DO, mingle with the world. So
long as this is TIE case, why should the
stranger be deprived of his club room p
Why should be be denied the right to
associate with others end fiDd acqusint-
ances, or at least comforta BILE place to
spend bis time simply to satisfy the
whim of some fanatic?

GOOD CLIP
IN IDAHO
Average Weight and Bet
ter Quality.

The Boise Capital News says of the
prospects of good wool crop and excel
lent prices in Idaho this year:
Reports received IN the city this week
from the various sheep shearlng camps
in the southern part OF the state on and
tributary to the Oregon Short Line indi-
cate that the average clip is being made
and that the wool is of very much finer
quality than usual. This would indicate
that sheepmen will realize good mark
ct price for their wool, regardless of the
fact that there is movement on foot
by eastern buyers to offer a low price
and stick to it.
The first clipping, in hich thousands
of head of sheep were involved, took
place at Bruneau and samples of the
wool which were brought to this city in.
dicate the quality is very fine.
Local sheepmen state that they have
received reports from various other
sheep camps of the northwest, which
are to the effect that the same good
quality of wool is being realized.
