told the Journal that there is no in
clination on the part of any organiza-
ton, and certainly not the liquor in
terests, to invoke the referendum upon
the prohibition law as enacted by the
last legislature, and that if any an
tagonism is aroused against the law it
will be through the operation of the
law itself, and this will not material
lze until it has been put into effect.
"The manufacturing interests car
tainly have no interest in the refer
endum on the prohibition law" said
Nr. Wilson, "for, Notwithstanding
the law, when the constitutional
amendment goes into effect it will put
beer and all other liquors, except al
cohol for mechanical and scientific
out of business, and why
should they make any fight against
the act which puts the prohibition
amendment into operation. So far as
the Salem brewery is concerned we
expect to go out of business, and all
that we have to worry about now is
he disposition of our property inter
ests in which we stand to lose heavily

Reason for It.

Reason for It.
Wouldn't It any woman be happy,

Days of misery, nights of unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles,

Kidney Pills few months ago and

Pills as a fine kidney remedy. They
act on the system quickly and bring
very good results. They have i'm
proved my health"
Mrs. Cerny is only one of many
Dallas people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-If your kidneys bother

MT. HEBo TO BE REFoREsTED
Government Will Plant Trees on
Thousand Acres in Tillamook

During the calendar year 1914. the
forest service reforested 1914 acres
of burned over land in Oregon. To
do this required the planting of 60O,-
900 trees. 1t is expected that three
times that many will be planted out
during 1915.
AT present there are three and one
half million trees growing in the for
est service nurseries of Washington
and Oregon. This number is suf1ic-
lent to plant five thousand acres of
burned over land. One and one-half
million of these trees will be shipped
out this spring for planting on the
national forests of Oregon and Wash
ington.
The forest service plans to plant
trees this spring upon a thousand
acres of burned over land on Mt. He
bo in Tillamook county. A crew of
fifty men will be employed.

THE REFERENDUM ELECTION.
Likelihood That One Will Be Called
Is RAPIDLY Growing.

Possibilities that special election
will be held next fall to consider some
Of the measures passed by the recent
legislature seem to be increasing. 1t
is apparent that various groups of in
terested persons are planning to in
woke the referendum against several
of the bills that the lawmakers pass
ed. But no one wants to take the re-
sponsibility of putting the taxpayers
of the state to the expense of $780,
900, which would be the price Of a
special election.
Among the measure prominently
considered as subject for the referen-
dun are the juvenile court bill and
the highway engineer bill. But it is
certain that if the referendum is call
ed into use for either of these meas
ures or for any other measure, var
ious other bills will be referred to the
people on the same ballot.
The one thing that is now standing
in the way of definite plans for an
election is the cost. Those who would
call the election fear that the cost it.
self would jeopardize the chances of
making the referendum successful. 1t
is pointed out that the taxpayers
might be inclined to vote in support
Of any measure to which the referen-
dunn is applied for the purpose of ex-
pressing their disapproval of the cost
that the referendum proceedings
would entail
