ne,n1r Is il NOT fair to assume that
Prohibition in Main, and the liberal
noli " in Orrpon had something TO
do with it, And the whole State of
Maine has increased less than 200,
900 sonIs in that time. while the non
uIation If New York has ,reb1cd
that of Massachusetts has nearly
uuadrupled and of New Uampshire
has quite doubled in population.
The effect Prohibition has had on
Pendleton. was shown in detail, by
the able report of Dr. Jesse l..
RalneS, Il practlclng physician OF
Graingeville, Oregon, and graduate
OF TIE State University of Oregon, a
postgraduate of the Jefferson Medl-
cal College of Philadelphia, Pa, also,
and man of unqucstloned integrity
and reliability. The picture of mis-
fortune was too wildly drawn to re-
quire repetition here, but 1t showed
in brief that thriving little city OF
5000 inhabitants was turned INTO a
deserted village, practically, by the
experience of less than year; empty
buildings, loss of trade, poverty
stricken families, decrease of pOpula-
tion-at least to the extent of ! 900
people in that time and most re-
markable Of all no decrease in drunk
enness, is the history, in brief, mar
rated by DR.. Raines.
