Wet and Dry Champions VIII Know
the Truth About PendletOn COndi-
tons in Two Weeks.

Rev. Morton l.. Rose and J. j.
Schlotfeldt are going to Pendleton.
Ore, together and give the people OF
North Yakima the correct statemen,
of the actual conditions existing in the
Oregon city.
Everybody knows that Rev. Morton
l.. Rose is the pastor of the Christian
church of this city and everybody
knows that j. j. Schlotfeldt is til,
head of the Yakima Brewing COM
pany. A person would be dumb in
deed who did not know that at a re
cent local option election held in this
city these two gentlemen wer,
classed as generals of the opposing
forces. Just who was the lion and
who was the lamb it is not the inten
ton of this article to guess at" for
both men appeared to be lions before
the affair was ended.
What Started 1t.
Anyway the wet" side, taking In
the brewer, caused to be published
tanned photographs of the vacani
stores alleged to be thickly strewn
along the streets Of the "dry" Pen
dleton. The dry" side, taking in
Rev. Rose, raised objection to tn.
statements contained in the booklets
for the reason that they commended
the statements were falsely made and
basely exaggerated.
Election day came around and both
generals were found at the front
which happened to be Front street
each ignorant Of the presence of the
other. Finally someone made a re-
marks about preachers taking an &C.
tive fight in the struggle who know
nothing about the condition in the sa-
looms. Reverend Morton L. Rose
heard the remark and said:
A Bit OF Dialogue.
II want to meet everyone in this
town, sir, and l do not know you,"
extending his hand.
Il am the wicked one," said tn.
other.
Your name?"
81 am at the head of the brewery"
And what is your manner" a.
though he did not know it.
81 am J. j. Schlotfeldt. What is
your name?"
II am at the head of the Christian
church."
your name?" as though he die
not know it.
II am Morton L. Rose"
The lion and the lamb were holdint
hands and looking into each others
eyes.
They were both lions.
a discussion of the pamphlet en-.
Ia, Go
that everything in the book was tru,
and that he would get on the train.
with Mr.. Rose and take him ther,
and show him.
\ Challenge Accepted.
Mr.. Rose accepted the challenge
and the battle continued, the result
of which is a matter of history
Both Mr.. Schlotfeldt and Mr.. Rose
were seen by The Herald Friday.
They were both lambs.
Mr.. Schlotfeldt was reticent and
was signing checks. yes we are go
ing" He did not know when. "No
we are not going Monday" Yes,
within two weeks"
Mr.. Rose was found at the church
in the midst of big watch party
yes, we are going" He did no,
know when. What he said is quoted
above in this article. mo, l do not
think it out of the ordinary for me to
make trip with Mr.. Schlotfeldt. He
is personally a gentleman, 1 believe
and we can make out own quiet In
vestigation and give the people the
truth"
And so the very unusual sight OF q
preacher and brewer, both believing
themselves to be right. both broad
minded enough to seek the truth
both agreeing to print statements of
what is found, boarding the train to-
gether and going for the knowledg,
which their principle demands will b.
given the people of North Yakima.
