Oregon dry campaign exposed as brewer backed
The essay outlines a campaign by the Taxpayers and Wage Earners League, allegedly funded by Oregon brewers and distillers, to promote a wets campaign. Dr Cora Talbott resigns when money uses her name and the group is labeled a joke. Supporters urge no saloons, arguing dry towns bring prosperity, lower taxes, and better business.

Oregon Agricultural College explains two methods to estimate hay tonnage in a stack. The first uses width height length to compute cubic feet then divides by 512 or 422 or 380 based on days stored. The second method refines the formula for slightly higher accuracy using height and successive multiplications.
