presses regrets of his departure.
If military officer puts in an appli-
cation for a furlough on the simple
ground of urgent private business, he
is about as likely to get it as he is of
being struck by lightning. A Maine
officer applied for one, however, state
ing that if it was not granted he
should lose $4,000. This attracted
attention at headquarters and the Off
Ger was desired to forward a state
ment of how he would lose it. He did
to the effect that he had been in the
army without leave of absence for two
years; that he was engaged to a
young lady worth $50, 600; that there
was another fellow after her and that
she had written to him that if he did
not come home and marry her right
away she would marry the other man.
He got his furlough,

SPRINGFIELD Is
MERE GHOST OF
OLD BUSY CITY
Prohibition Makes Formerly
Thriving Center Barren
BANK DEPOSITS $4,000 LESS
Two Blocks Of Vacant Buildings Line
Main Street in Place Of Busy Stores

The city of Springfield,
in its present cobwebby,
stagnant condition, today
presents a picture, as COM
pared wit h its thriving,
bustling condition of a year
ago, that would make the
angels weep. A year ago
every store was filled and
crowds of people thronged
it's streets. Every merchant
was making money, practi-
cally everyone who wanted
work was employed. Every
one seemed happy and con
tented, except the prohlbi-
tionists.
Today Springfield looks like a
deserted village, business is par
alyzed, and more than eight or
ten people on its main street at
any one time would actually be
the cause of excitement. Yet
the Committee Of One Hundred
says: "Business is fine in dry
towns. -
Springfield went "dry' at the
election last fall, the saloons
closing January /.
Let the 'drys'' tell all about
these " fine" business conditions
in Springfield after nine months ;
operation Of their "business the
ories. y
Although much smaller city than.
Salem, the bank deposits in Spring
field have fallen off in the last year
over $4,000.
When Main street finally is read
iusted in the next month or two, prac-
tically two blocks Of store buildings on
each side Of the street west of the
Southern Pacific tracks will be desert
ed, but Cuisines is fine
A real estate sale is unheard of and
would be impossible on any part of
Main street, bat Cuisines is fine
The Springfield Toggery, the best
gents furnishing store, is now being
closed out by a receiver, but business
is fine
The La France Confectionery Store,
enc of the best in "wet' days, has
closed out but "business is fine
0. W. johnson s Hardware Store, the
best of its line during "wet' days,
already has been sold out by re-
ceiver, but Cuisines is finc'
A. J. Henderson, the leading dry
goods merchant, occupied double
store year ago. Today he occupies
but one store and will tell you his
business is "about half" what it waa
year ago, but "business is fine"
The city has run into a 5000 deficit
from an excess of expenditures over
income. although the "drys' promised
that less police and court expenses
would make q surplus, if the people
would vote the $4,000 saloon licenses
cut of business, but that S " fine busi,
ness"
The prohibitionists a year ago prom
ised to reduce the tax levy, but have
increased the levy this year by five
mills, but "business is fine.'
Not foot of permanent street i'm
rrovement work has been done, ex-
eept the construction Of a small bridge
over a creek, and that was paid for by
bond issue. Streets and sidewalks
are in deplorable condition, and the
prohibitionists are now petitioning the
council to "doubleN the expense levy.
IF the local taxpayers, but few of
whom are "drys,' vote down this pc
tition the city confronts the same pos
sibility as Oregon City, viz, the ap.
pointment of q receiver, but "business
is fine in dry towns.'
