GELEBRATIOW SHOWS Few Poitalndcrs Begin 192 0 With SIoriiing-Afler Headaches and ".Never Ajrain" as Slogan. It Is safe to say that fewer Port land citizens woke up "the morning after the niKht before" yesterday with that peculiar feeling about the head, the right hand in the air and those well-known words ' on their lips, "never aqrain!" than ever before In the history of the city. It was a New Year's celebration to which the "wet goods" of the old time celebrations oontrlbuted but little. Here and there an oasis was tapped but most of the celebrations eppearently emulated the camel and went without drink. All this is Judging from that well known register of social morality, or immortality, the Portland police docket. The police made nine ar ms! s for drunkenness during the right, five arrests on disorderly cno tiuct charges. Also Lee A. Senn, salesman, was arrested by Officers "Wright and Stiles at Fifth and Col lege streets, charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated. It was a quiet night, according to the opinion of the old time members of the police force, who harked back in memory to the time when the ar rests following New Year's celebra tions were only limited by the size of the Jail and the ability and aggressiveness of the police officers. Rio Call Kalis to Come. Even compared with New Year's celebrations under the "desert regime," It was a night of little Incident at the police station. The belted knights of the police partol, Known in customary parlance as cops, waited and waited, but the cus tomary riot call failed to come In. Members of the day shift were de tailed for special duty by Chief of Police Jenkins to watch the down town crowds New Year's eve. They reported, however, that the crowd was a good natured one, although noisy, and few arrests were neces sary. The police court docket of the morning after previous New Year's celebrations might be cited to show Just how temperate and law abiding Portland citizens are getting to be,! or else just now nara it was to get liquid refreshment with that well known kick for the New Year's "blow out." For Instance, 1917 shows 0 arrests for drunkenness five for disorderly conduct, one for assault and battery and two for driving an automobile while drunk. For 1918 there were 11 arests for drunken ness, 19 for disorderly conduct and one for assault and battery. The year 1919 shows a falling off in ar rests of the New Year's celebration, but even it exceeds the number taken in this New Year's night. The arrests were for drunkenness, eight lor disorderly conduct, two for violation of the prohibition law, one for driving an automobile while drunk, seven for being Idlers and disorderly. Comparison Is Striking;. However, if one would turn to the records of the police court for the days when bars had not become old fashioned and- it was still possible to maintain a position in -society and yet drink a little now and then, the comparison is still more, striking. Arrests In those days were made only when a man was unable to go home by himself or when he became dis orderly, for even policemen in thoBe days were known to take a drink and they had a certain fellow feel ing for the man who was still able to carry the liquor he had aboard. Those days have changed now, how ever, for at the present time a man who manages to even get his "nose wet" Is the object of such envy, that a. policeman throws him in Jail on sight, according to an old "soak," Who asserts he knows. The police court docket for the 1916 New Year's celebration, the memorable last wet celebration, shows the following arrests: For drunkenness 27, for assault two, for disorderly conduct by fighting four, for discharging firearms in the city limits one, for assault with a dangerous weapon one. Those were the days before moon shine Had supplanted Sunnybrook, before backdoors and secret panels had taken the place of the old swing ing front doors of the family bev erage establishments, before "here's how," had been forgotten, and be fore the name saloon had been kicked out of the dictionary. Those were J me aays, out, never again. ROADS GET SG,811,335 LARGE PERCENTAGE OF WORK CONTRACTED FOR. IS DONE. B 63 Miles of Paving Is Completed While Rocking Covers 107 Miles and Grading 270 Miles.

Hi LOS AXGELES IS AFTER PORT LAND'S DAIRY INSPECTOR. . 0 Effort Will Be Made to Keep Man Who Placed Portland in Van for Pure Milt. Dr. D. W. Alack, chief milk and dairy inspector of the city of Portland has received an offer from the city of Los Angeles to accept a similar posi tion there at a better salary than Is being paid by Portland. The offer has been taken under consideration by Dr. Mack. Dr. Mack entered city service May 1. 1909, and was made chief dairy and milk inspector in 191S. It is mainly through his efforts during the past 11 i years that Portland has obtained the I purest milk supply of any city in the United States, a fact attested by the Winning; of Xirst award medals at na tional dairy shows as well as milk contests conducted in the west. Dr. Mack was one of the authors of the meat inspection ordinance and it was because of a long and earnest fight conducted before the city council by him that the meat inspection sys tem was adopted in Portland. Should Dr. Mack accept the offer from the southern city, he has been told that it is probable that the milk and meat departments of Los Angeles will be combined, with the position of chief of the consolidated bureaus given to him. Clry Health Officer Parrish said yesterday that he would regret losing the services of Dr. Mack and an nounced that he would take immedi ate steps to have the city council meet the salary offer made by offi cials of Los Angeles. Albany Ordinance Vetoed. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 1. (SpeciaL) An ordinance Increasing the salary of the chief of police of Albany has been vetoed by Mayor Curl.

Capacity of New Fisheries Jiuild ing to Be About Twice That of Outfit Now Operating. CHINOOK. Wash.. Jan. 1. (Spe cial.) Workmen have begun clearing ground for the erection of a new fish hatchery which the Washington fish eries department will build to replace the one now in operation here. The new building will have a capacity of 4,000.000 salmon eggs annually, nearly twice the capacity of the old plant. The Chinook hatchery is the oldest In the state, having been built in 1894. The Kalama hatchery also was built In that year, but the Chinook hatchery was the first to operate. In all the years of its usefulness it has never failed to turn out its full quota of salmon fry. and scarcely a year has passed that it has not shipped large quantities of eggs to other hatcheries. The site for the new building, as well as the use of the Chinook river for flumes and dikes, has been grant ed free to the state by the owners of the land, the Oile Investment com pany and the McGowan estate. The new structure will cover 40 by 100 feet and will be ready for operation the cominsr summer. GULET&RD JCH ,The4ure
