 West Side of 2Oth

The excise commission granted license for a wholesale dealer to ". c. Hark- ness in North Birmingham yesterday and announced that in order that they may attend to some work at least occasionally, freed from the crowds, they would dis continue their afternoon sessions, effective | today.
 It was announced that from 9:3 a. m. until 2:30 a. m. the commissioners would l receive delegations and individuals. However. after the noon hour they will not receive anyone on any business ex- | cept by special arrangement or request. | In making the announcement the com mission explained that it had been utterly | impossible for the members to get down to business with so many people contin-
 ually asking for audiences and trying to 1 get propositions through
 ! The commissioners also announced that | shortly they would take up the question | of allowing a saloon at Warrior and be- fore any decision was reached they would | notify both sides in that controversy to appear before them and give their views. The Warrior controversy is rather warm and the question will be weighed with caution by the commissioners. The commissioners officially announced 1 that irrespective of friendly suggestions
 no change would be made as to the loca-
 tion of saloons on the west side of Twen-
 tieth street from First to Second ave nues.
 That is a mans street" said the com missioners, 'and it Is a business street Therefore we will not change our ruling
 that saloons will be permitted from Nor
 ris avenue to the south side of Fourtl
 avenue excepting on prominent corners.
 The commissioners announced that in
 spection would be made shortly, ant
 added:
 } We recognize that over half the sa } looms that We have licensed have no , started business yet. Just as soon a.
 they get down to business and start ou right we will make a thorough inspee ton and see that they are operated right
 The temporary arrangements to suppl, ) the demand here have not suited the gen .. eral observer, but when things settl
 down there will be little trouble Ther
 need be no fear that we will overoo
 any inspection sources of informatio l to acquaint us with all the prevailn
 conditions"

ROUNDUP GETS
GOOD PUBLICITY

Pendleton is beginning to spruce
up for the Roundup and the big
eastern Oregon celebration promises
to be more of a success this year than
ever before, says the oregon Jour

The railroads have already taken
hold of the advertising feature of the
celebration and the advertising de-
partment of the Oregon Washington
Railroad & Navigation company Is
busy getting out special folders and
posters for use throughout the coun-
try.
Let 'er buck" has been adopted
as the slogan of the Roundup and
the big posters being prepared by
the railroad show typical cow pony

folders will show pictures of the
Roundup of last year and will con-
tain the program for the three days

special trains will be operated over
the O.-W. II. & y. railway to take
Portland people to the show.
Special trains viii be run daily
from Spokane and excursions are
scheduled from Walla Walla, Yakima
and other points.
The Roundup will be a national
affair this year said General Pas

OVER SEA IN THREE HOURS
Invention of Gyroscopc-Monoplane
Has Great Visions.

Pittsburg, Pa.-"New York to Lon
don via the air in three hours"
Ralph f. Bissell insists 1t will be
possible with his gyroscope-mono-
plane device, provided, of course, that
the human frame that guides the in
strument through space over the
seas can endure such frightful speed.
Bissell is a thick skinned fellow and
accepts incredulity and gibes like a
good fellow.
In a huge shed on his back yard on
the North Side, Bissell has his great
machine. Powerful engines will be
installed this week. He insists that
tie newest bird of the air will travel
as fast as human lungs and eyesight
can withstand the pace.
He declares that the secret of his
success and the speed which he says
will be possible lies in the way he
combines the two forces of the gyro-
scope and the monoplane.
"a thousand miles an hour" Is his
modest claim. Continuing he says:
Get pair of lungs and eyes that
will stand 1t and I'll furnish the ma
chine.

WHEAT At ATHENA
READY FOR HARVEST
Especial correspondence.) }

Athena, ore, July Farmers in
this vicinity are beginning to cut the
haay around their grain, tnus making
ready for the combines to enter the
fields. 1t Is freely asserted by the far
mers here that this is a banner year
for wheat.
There are a great number of farms
that will yield fifty 10 sixty bushels
of wheat to the acre. A great deal
of wheat hay is weighing four tons
to the acre.
Harvest this year promises to be
a speedy one as there is a great SEN
timent among the wheat growers in
favor Of not only prompt harvest but
prompt sales of the crop, provided
the prices are at all reasonable.
Few farmers here still have their
last years crop and their experience
Is going to be a strong argument In
favor of selling on the first market.
