more than it is fair to force a license
law upon communities opposed to Ii
censes.
Continued agitation of the liquor
question and its injection into active
politics is harmful, not only to the
cause of true temperance, but also to
the business interests and industrial
development of Oregon.
I'VE favor strict regulation of the
liquor traffic wherever licensed and
strict enforcement of the law in all
communities, but are opposed to a
continued agitation of a measure like
state prohibition, that can accom-
plish no useful purpose.
1--WE therefore protest against any
movement that has for its purpose the
calling of an election to make Oregon
a prohibition state"
The petitions were prepared in
Portland and are being distributed
from that city. 1t is not known in this
city to what use they will be put or
whether it would be possible to pre-
vent the prohibition election by the
securing of signatures to the above.

. +++++*++e++++++ :

That the Washington-Orego Trac-
ton company will start upon the es-
tablishment of its traction system in
Pendleton after the local stock sub
scription fund has been brought up to
the s25, 900 mark was announced this
forenoon by d. FitzGerald, who re-
turned from a consultation with di-
rectors of the company in Walla Wal
la.
According to MIR. FitzGerald, the
company still desires to sell $4,000
worth OF its stock to local people.
However, he says that after the local
committee has run the sum up to $685.
900 the company will assume the task
OF raising the remainder. The trac-
ton company will at once proceed to
close its contract for steel and for
equipment for the line and otherwise
get ready for construction work. The
company will follow out in detail all
the provisions of the contract made
with the local committee. This con-
tract calls for the completion of at
least six miles of traction line within
this city and vicinity within one years
time; for the operation of cars upon
the line; for the establishment of a
park, for the electricifation of the
line within a period of two years and
other things.
Nearly $4,000 Needed.
In order to bring the local subscrip-
ton list up to the $4,000 mark it
will be necessary for the solicitors to
secure nearly $4,000 yet. When the
committee made its counter proposal
to the traction men night before last
the list stood slightly above the $780,
900 mark Since then two voluntary
subscriptions, aggregating s400, have
been made. 1t is now the intention
to go after the remainder of the mon
ey and to secure 1t as quickly as pos
sible. After the amount has been run
up to s25 900 1t will then devolve up
on the traction company itself to Sc
cure the remainder.
