bers of the Woman's Christian Tenn.
peIanCe Union, which 10 holding it's
annual convention in this city this
week, showed that the ladies we're not
only hard workers in the temperance
movement but that they we're boost
ers, every one of them, for their own
county delegations had been fur
nished with sample products and
boosting literature from their 10 al
commercial bodies and the display
gave an idea Of what the resources OF
Oregon are.
Mrs. Henrietta Brown, state pres
ident, explained that this was the
first meeting II the organization at
which an attempt at boosting had
been made but most of the delegates
seemed to be veterans in that line.
At the roll call of counties each dele
cation went to the rostIum carrying
typical displays of their products and
the chairman made short talk on
the resources of the particular dis
trict. Nearly every county was pre-.
sent from Coos on the southern coast
which boasted OF fruit, dairles, tim
ber and fine schools to Wallowa In
the opposite corner OF the state which
made great claims for her grain and
stockraising procliVities. A good
natured rivalry existed throughout
the demonstration and before each
county was seated they generally
claimed to produce all the good
things which had made their sisters
famous and then boast Of single
product In which they lead the
world. Each county had yell or
watchwoId which they gave in con-
clusion.
Mrs. Brown read her presidents
address Tuesday afternoon and it
showed the progress which has re-
Gently been throughout the state and
nation along temperance lines. The
slogan of the convention is MAKE
Oregon Dry in 1910" The treasur
er's report showed Hn increase OF 575
in the membership OF the union
in the state since the last convention
which is the greatest annual gain the
organization has ever shown.
The storm center of the convention
is about the movement to unite the
forces with Prohi hibitionists and the
Anti.Srloon league in a strenuous
campaign for the statewide prohibi-
tion. The Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union took the initiative a
year ago to wage the present cam.
paign. Prohibitionists and Anti
Saloon leaguers discouraged them.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union claims credit for the move
ment.
One of the significant facts in the
reports of the president from the
"dry" counties was that In nearly
every instance they were aware that
much liquor was being sold illegally
in the arid precincts and that as yet
they found no way to successfully
prevent the sales from the drug
stores, "bIind pigs" and near beer
establish ments.
