Gambling indictments spark reform talk in Pendleton and nearby counties
The Portland Oregonian reports a sweeping grand jury campaign against gambling. It attacks not only gamblers but owners of buildings hosting games, condemning state officials and prosecutors for weak action. The piece argues reform shows little real effect and warns of ongoing political and financial self interest behind anti-gambling rhetoric. It also notes farm price pressures, wheat storage issues, and calls for farmers to build on farm warehouses, plus a proposal to relocate a nursery operation to Athena Oregon and repurpose a local building for an opera house.
