\ VAS 1T TO GET EVEN?

The lewiston Teller, which
opposes the local option senti-
ment, says that in many parts
of the state it has been shown
that Ii cal option has been car
riel IN inly as a "get even pro-
position, and that the recent
victory for the prohibition forces
i'll Koo tenai county was educ
more t o the enmity that Rath-
drum had for CEur d'Alene over
the mo wing OF the county seat
than t. the growth OF the local
option sentiment" The Teller
states further that sit is report
ed that even the saloon men OF
Rathdrum supported the dry
moven lent.' (This report is not
borne out by the facts.)
The Teller seems to be wrong
again in it's conclusion. The
result In Kootenai is as good
evidence OF the growth OF local
option sentiment as can be cited
in any other county or state. 1t
may be that Il number of Rath-
drum people voted to get even
with Cnur d'Alene, but not
enough to have changed the
result had they voted the other
way. CHur d'Alene may think
Rathdr rum voted to get even, but
there is little foundation for such
a belief. Two of CHur d'Alene's
own fo ar precincts gave MAORI
ties for the "drys." What were
they trying to get even on?
Harriso on, Post Falls, Stateline,
and ma my other precincts, which
supported Ceur d'Alene for the
county seat, gave large MAORI
ties in favor of local option.
Were t hey votingsto get even for
someth ing? Not likely. They

Little Thanks For It.
Mrs. Peabody had just laid down
for her afternoon nap when a man
from the water department came
along and notified her that the wa
ter in that neighborhood would be
cut off at 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Peabody said, "Oh, thank
you! and hurried in to prepare for
the coming water famine. She filled
the bathtub, the washtubs, the tea
kettle, the dishpan and three pitch
ers with that indispensable liquid.
Then, having performed her duty

her attention to her neighbors'
needs.

The dairy barns were quite a dis

ANNUAL STRAWBERRY DAY
WILL BE HELD JUNE s
Day Is Fixed by Committee in Charge
--Lateness OF Season Caused Slight
Delay-Win Be Made Milton's
Greatest Holiday-Strawberr and
Cream Free for Everybody-Spe-
cial Excursion Will Be Arranged.
Especial correspondence.)

Milton, May 21.-It has been de-
cided by the general committee on ar
rangements to set Tuesday, June
for Millions annual strawberry day
and stock show. This decision has
come about after careful consdera-
ton of the conditions which have
prevailed this spring. The lateness
of the season has caused a delay in
the committees work because it was
not known heretofore at what time
it would be best to secure a plentiful
supply of the strawberries for the oc-
casion. 1t is asserted that should
the crowd attend that the committee
has figured on, it will take from 70
to 100 crates of berries. The grounds
will be beautifully decorated as will
the city, on this, the greatest day in
Milton's history. The program will
consist of speeches by prominent
men, recitations, songs and flag drills,
games Of all kinds, but there will be
no graft allowed on the grounds dur
ing the day. The only concession
granted will be providing the visitors
with sandwiches and coffee.
Everybody is invited to attend and
all will be made welcome.
The various committees will be an
nounced later. The visitors will be
served with Strawberries and cream
and cake free. All guests are request
ed to bring their lunches and join the
people of Milton in a good, old-fash-
ioned picnic.
The committee appointed to ar
range a stock show in connection
with the other festivities of the day,
report very favorably at this time
There are many entries from outside
points, as well as people at home and
this feature will prove an interesting
one to all those interested in live
stock. Excursion rates have been ap-
piled for over the line of the o. R. &
n. from all eastern Oregon points.

SPECIAL MILTON
BONDING ELECTION

Milton, May 2S.-For the purpose
Of second time empowering the
mayor and city council to issue bonds
against the city in the sum of $4,000
to liquidate the expenses of the en-
largement and extension of the Mil
ton municipal electric light and pow
er plant, special election of the
legally qualified voters of this city
will be held in Alliance hall here Tues
day, May 25.
In order to carry .he bonding prop
osition will be necessary for at least
two-thirds of the legally qualified vo-
ters of the city to cast ballots and
these must be in favor of the issue
Efforts will be made on the day Of
election by the council and officials
OF the city to have every voter pres
ent and vote on the issue. No matter
IL there are those in the city in favor
of the election but do not vote, it will
be counted as a negative desire just
the same.
Although there seems to be abso-
lUtely no doubt as to the wishes and
desires of the taX-paying voters on the
proposition of bonding, strong efforts
are to be made in order to make sure
that at least two-thirds Of those en-
titled to vote will cast ballots in favor
of the issue. There is not a person in
the city who thoroughly understands
the situation who will not vote to
bond the city to secure money for the
which have been made
this spring. From a plant with a ca
pacity Of 125 II. p, the Milton electric
light and power plant has been in
creased by a new generator and the
extension Of the barrel flume, to
capacity Of $50 II. p. A large part Of
the additional power has already been
taken and the revenue has been ma
terially increased. The actual cost Of
will be in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 and already ad
dltional revenue amounting to be-
tween 5000 and s4OO per month is
being brought in.
Among those who secure power
from the plant are The Milton Ice
Plan, which takes 35 H. p, and the
following men using H. p. each for
purposes: S. S. Shields, w.
A. Copeland, s. E. Rinehart, A. A.
Morton, Jacob w. Haynes, Jesse Mar
tin, Henry GrOth, VIM. Forsythe and
f. w. Nordhof Besides those using
power a large number Of additional
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-24

lights have been placed in Freewater
and contract entered into between
the two cities whereby Milton will fur
nish Freewater with lights for term
of at leafs Is years.
Not in the history of the city has
the financial standing of Milton been
on such a firm basis as it is at the
present time. The revenue capacity
OF the city allows of a municipal tax
smaller than that of any other city
in the northwest. The city property
tax last year amounted to only six
mills.
Polls will be open at the special
election from a. m. to 4 p. m, CIV
ing everyone ample time to cast his
vote. VIM. Talbert, ]. P. Craddick
and R. H. Patterson are to act as
judges in the election and ]. S. Richey
and c. J, Mckenzie as clerks.
