What tho Metolius oregonian Says

About the Matter:
Governor West has turned his "pur.

he has instructed the county authorities
to enforce the prohibition law in this
town.
A few months before Metolus was
established-when the present town.
site was grain field--the farmers of
Kutcher precinct by majority of one
voted for prohibition.
Following the arrival of the railroad
in March, 1911, and up to the time Me.
tolius was incorporated last December,
while we were in dry precinct. from
three to six ''blind pigs - were operated

without restraint and resortng to the
club method when cards seemed too
slow in getting their victim s cash ;
women Of the underworld frequented
the gambling and booze resorts-and
Oregon 3 chief executive allowed these
things TO exist without molestation.
Disgusted with conditions and the
failure of state or county officials to
enforce the laws, the people of Metolius
were driven to incorporate as means
Of quelling unlawful practices. Later
upon an order from the county court,
and under the Home Rule amendment
TO the local option law, an election was
held to decide whether the town should
have licensed saloons or prohibition.
Tho majority for license exceeded two
to one. The city council granted one
license and the saloon holding that
license has, and is conforming to every
regulation of the ordinance governing
the conduct Of places where liquor is

its requirements. Since the day Metol.

THE COUNTY WILL
HAVE SCHOOL FAIRS
Three of Them Have Been Arranged
for and They viii Be Good Ones,
Says Field Worker.

"Lake county will have three Indus
trial School fairs next fall and they will
be good ones" said N. G. Morris, field
worker, yesterday. That county is like
the proverbial girl, "when she s good
she's very good; when she s bad she 5
horrid," " There are some wonderfully
favored spots in the country where
almost anything in the line of garden,
fruit and farm crops can be grown to
perfection. Large areas are suited only
to growing grass, hay and livestock,
and other sections to sage brush and
jack rabbits.
" New Pine Creek, at the southern
line Of the county, and Paisley, farther
north on the Chewaucan river, are locat.
ed in the more favored sections and
will each hold local school fair. There
is little doubt but what an organization
will be effected and county fair held
at Laveview under the provisions of
the new county fair law. County School
Superintendent G. h. Oliver is enthus-
iastic on the subject of fairs, as well
as good schools. The county court
realizes the value of fairs, the public
generally favOrs a fair and the school
children demand it, so it must be.
DISTANCES are magnificent and a
good many of the schools had closed,
but Superintendent Oliver and covered
the more important points in the coun-
ty and held nine meetings in four days,
talking to 900 people who evidenced q
keen interest in anything calculated to
improve material conditions. Good
roads are one of the natural resources
OF Lake county. No county in the state
has better natural roads, and material
generally close at hand for road i'm.

The dairy cow is coming in for her

industry bids fair to assume consider,
able proportions.

school grounds are on sage brush land

boys grubbed out the sage brush, spad.

TERRIBLE CONDITIONS
IN ST. LOUIS LAUNDRIES

st. Louis, May 23.--A pitiful story of
how underpaid girls are overcome by
heat in laundries during the summer
months was told to the state senate
wage probe committee here today by a
bundle wrapper. The witness a 16-year-
old girl, received $5.95 a week.
Last summer, she testified, she saw
six girls overcome by heat and carried
out. She admitted that a physician
was kept near during the hot months
but said no emergency hospital ar.
,rangements were provided
Another girl testified that she began
working in the same laundry when she
was IA years old.

the legality of the election seems to be
question for the courts to decide.
Aside from the legal phase of the
question--and regardless of whether he
or she be prohibitionist, local optionist,
republican, democrat or socialist-all
good citizens of MetoIius will pray to
the Almighty that we be delivered from
reverting TO the conditions which ex-
listed when we looked to Governor West
for enforcement of the laws.
