Anti.SaI0on League
Meeting in Spokane

The ca He'd by the Anti

tended. nearly all OF the towns in
eastern Washington being represent
ed. The Irwin Cities" being repre-
scented, Pasco by Attorney Ruth,
and kennewick by the pastor OF the
NJ. +. clurh.
The object Of the meeting, as stat
ed by the attorney OF the league from
Seattle, was to agree upon the main
features OF Il local option bill so that
the bill can be formulated iInmed-
lately after the primary election,
and each candidate nominal ted for
the ]cSisiat ure will be asked to 90 on
record either for or against thar bill.
This will prevent the defeat OF local
option altogether. by Il dssagree-
ment as to the kind OF bill. In the
matter OF the unit, the Oregon stat
is bOlh precinct and county. How
ever I'll. linai word could not be said
ut Spokane as the convention Tor
western Washington Was not held
until the following day, and an cX-
ecutive committee with power to
act was appointed to meet with the
west ern Washington convention ON
the 9TH.
The convention was most harmo-
NOUS and enthusiastic throughout.
The only animated discussion, and
division that occurred was whether
| to attack the manufacturer as well
| as the sale. But the CONSENSUS Of
| league is q t present fighting the sa-
loon, per st, and the matter OF the
manufactures ii the saloon is
abolished will take care of it self. 1T
was shown by one speaker that the
production of whiskey in the state of
kentuckey fell off in one year twenty
| three million gallons.
The convention was strictly non
partisan. and when it was accused
| OF being Methodist and Republican
man was on his feet in Il second stat
| ing that he was IL Democrat and Il
Presbyterian, and another that he
| was Democrat and Baptist.
The League will throw it's whole
power to the candidate favOring the
local option bill, and it's whole pow
er against the candidate opposing
the bill, every candidate will be ask
ed to define his position.

White Bluffs Power Plant Burns

Both Of the pumping plants of
the White Bluffs Irrigation Co.. !,
burned Wednesday evening, entire
ly destroying the buildings and
damaging the machinery s. that
lifting water from the Columbia to
irrigate the lands will be impossible
for some time to come. The plant
consisted of gas producing engines
with the hydraulic pumps and at
tachments and were valued at s2S-
900. On tbs old plant there was
$4,000 insurance and on the new
plant $500.
Both plants had been working
fine and the lands watered by them
were well irrigated and the starting
crops were making excellent growth
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion
of coal gas from coal stored in the
new planter or gas tank. An eff
fort was made to stop tho flames
with bucket brigade in line from
the river but the heat was too inten.
Sc and progress of the flames too
rapid.
About 600 acres of the White
Bluffs project are actually in culti-
yation and it will be extrenal,,
difficult to save the crops on account
OF the extremely hot weather Of
TINS season. However both plants
will be rebuilt at once on q nnob
enlarged scale and will be housed
in tire proof buildings.
