Mr. George F. Cotterrill, ex-mayor of Seattle, has gone to Chris-
tiania, Norway, to preside over the international meeting of the California
Good Templars. Mr. Cotterill has made a number of speeches in
the last month in which he has predicted that prohibition will win VINEYARD: LIVERMORE VALLEY
at the coming election. Mr. Cotterill has good standing with the
church forces, it is said, in his campaign for the Democratic nom- Chauche & Bo
ination for the United States Senate.
PROPRIETORS
Mr. Cotterill predicts a sweeping victory for prohibition. Before
319-321 Battery Street 1
leaving for Norway he said, "North Yakima is certain to give a
dry majority and I am sure that outside of Seattle, Spokane and SAN FRANCISCO
Tacoma the State will give a majority of 50,000 against the traffic.
The results in local option elections and the number of signers to

the petition give assurance that this is so."

Mr. Cotterill predicts that in communities which are dry now

the vote will be practically unanimous for State-wide prohibition.

It is good to put him on record to show how little he knows

about the State which he would represent at Washington.

When the official count of the signatures on the State-wide pro-

hibition measure petitions were filed July 15 at 10 o'clock by Sec-
retary of State I. M. Howell, it was shown that there was a total

of 70,182 valid signatures, 6,500 more than twice as many necessary
to place the bill on the ballot. Secretary Howell will now certify
to the county auditors of the State that this measure, known as
State Initiative Measure No. 3, may be placed on the ballot at the
general election November 3.

Of the 112,101 signatures on the 3732 page petition, approxi-
mately 42,000 were thrown out, though none has been declared to
be other than a bona fide signature.

Portland is to have another big industry. The Western Coop-
erage Co. of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle has leased

from the Port of Portland a strip of land adjoining the St. John's
dry dock, on which to buihl a large factory for the manufacture of

barrels, tanks, hoops and otlicr products of that class. The plant
is to be in operation within the next few months.

Portland now has only 389 saloons, the fewest in more than

twenty years. When all the licenses were counted following the

expiration of time for renewals for the rest of 1914, it was found
that 15 had been dropped.
