Liquor Folk Blamed
for Action Against
prohibition"
BUILDING BOARD
MAKES PROTEST
Says Hail Isn't Prop
erly Equipped; Man
ager Denies

According TO the AntiSaloon
league, the hand of the liquor inter.
ests IS seen in the attempt to pre-,
vent the exhibition In Arcadia. June
II, lS and 10, of the moym picture
Prohibition" eGd there is pros.
pect of bitter fight ahead.
"All ! know about the matter is
that this morning | received a letter
from Building Inspector Henry A..
could not be shown in Arcadia, be-
cause the building is not a theater,"
said Manager Wood, of Arcadia. Fri
day afternoon. THE letter said the
writer had read a newspaper clip
ping 10 the effect that Prohibition
was TO be shown in Arcadia. Mr.. Du-
port drew my attention 10 the fire
and building laws. | Immediately
procured a copy and after going
over the section he referred me to
especially. could not find single
necessary detail of protection in
which Arcadia was lacking. We
have exits on a broad alley on one
side OF the building and on a vacant
lot that goes directly TO Stimsonpl.
on the other side, with exits front
and back of the building. All Of
these exits are VIDE and high. Our
seats are stationary and we seat
over 1000 persons. All of these
things are required according to
the law Ny only interest in the
matter Of showing Prohibition in
Arcadia, is in renting the building
for the purpose. Arthur Maitland,
of New York who has the Michigan
rights for the film, was away
from his office in the Free Press
building this morning when | tele'
phoned after receiving the letter,
but later, got in touch with him in
Lansing by long distance telephone
and informed him of the contents
of Mr.. Dupont's letter He said he
would return 10 Detroit at once to
take up the matter
Personally, | want TO see Pro
hibition' shown in Arcadia. We
have not heretofore rented the hall
for moving pictures of any kind,
but I had anticipated renting the
building next season for stereopti-
con lectures and that sort OF thing,
and the question as 10 our rights in
the matter might as well be settled
now as later. The armory has boon
used for moving pictures and also
other buildings in the city not the
alters. so, fail to see that Building
Inspector Duponts position in the
matter Is logical. | have no doubt
but that the liquor interests have
been too strong for the city admin
istration, as usual"
Mr.. Schaefer OF the state fire
marshals department, with Offices
in the state food and dairy Office, in
the Majestic building. visited Ar
cadia. Thursday, and declared that
the building met in every particular
the requirements Of the state fire
and buildings laws, so Manager
Wood says.

Good Results Certain.

The crowds at the exposition con-
tinue to average 10000 daily, and
the number here from distant points,
the far eats and middle west, appears
to be on the increase. The inquiries
are many and specific and the pros
pect of interesting people in Oregon
seems very great. Very naturally,
much of the inquiry is about cheap
lands" and there are many who want
to know about homesteads, but the
majority are interested in possibility
of production and climatic conditions
rather than something "cheap." In
fact, prices quoted, $50 to $3.50 for
land easily accessible to railroad or
community, is surprising to most of
the inquirers, many of whom are
from sections where land is quoted
at double and treble that figure. The
different representatives here say
that there are many inquiries about
small acreage near the larger COM
munities, and all agree that there Is
constant questioning about eastern
Oregon. Some tremendously effect
i've advertising must have been done
for that section of the state within
the past two or three years, for very
many from distant points seem to
have some familiarity with the re-
gion and want to know more about
its opportunities. The iuquirers gen.
orally seem to be favorably impressed
with Oregon's showing here, and
many who had not thought of going
into the state at this time say that
they will at least take short look at
this time and come back later pre-
pared to remain if they can find the
specific thing for which they are
looking.

Stomach Misery
Quickly Vanishes

Your money back if you want it is
the way in which McNair Bros, the
popular druggists, are selling Mi-o-na,
the great dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-
ma has so much merit and is so al
most invariably successful in reliev-
ing all forms Of indigestion that Nc
Nair Bros. run but little risk in SELL
ing under a guarantee of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspep-
sia. Mi-o-na will help you. If it
doesn't, tell McNair Bros that you
want your money back and they will
cheerfully refund it.
A change for the better will be
seen from the first few doses of Milo
ma and its continued use will soon
start you on the road to perfect diges-
tion and enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful that every box is sold under
positive guarantee to refund the
money If it does not relieve. What
fairer proposition could be made?
McNair Bros. give their personal
guarantee Of money back if you
want it" with every box of Mi-o-na
that they SELL A guarantee like this
speaks volumes for the merit of the
remedy.

Believe State Tax
Will Be No Larger

Salem, Ore, Oct. 2O.-Although
heretofore legislative sessions have
been followed with a high tax levy,
the present indications are that the
state levy for next year will not ex-
ceed that for this year-$3,112, 900
as under law passed in 1913 the
state tax commission was enabled to
anticipate the appropriations of the
last legislature and distribute them
between the present and the coming
year. The valuation for the present
year was $992,419,OSO, and the rate
9.94 mills.
Under the law the state tax COM
mission must make the stale levy in
December, and until then it will be
impossible to determine what the
exact levy will be, but the commits
sion is satisfied that it will not be
greater than that of this year, and
it is barely possible that it may be
slightly less. The commission is
now engaged in fixing the valuation
on the properties held by the public
service corporations and the county
ratios. This work, it is estimated
will be completed within a month
from now, and the commission will
then be in a position to determine the
levy. Last year the levy was not
until the latter part of
December.
Following the legislative session
,f 1913 the state levy for 1914 was
S4,165, 900, while that for 1913 was

Recommend Public
Work in Winter

That the governor be asked to ap-
point a commission of engineers to
supervise all state engineering oper-
ations in the interest of winter en-
ployment, that the city be requested
to provide so far as possible for mu-

instead Of the summer as is now the
practice, and that private employers
be asked to take advantage of the

an admitted fact that a large pro-
portion of the engineering activities
can not be advantageously carried on
during the winter, the extent of eco

considerable extent overestimated.
Climatic conditions are the prin-
