QUIET DAY
Mayor's Order Closing Oregon
City Saloons on Sunday
Was Effective.
MILWAUKIE DRY ALSO
No Place for Thirsty Portlanderi
Except Eatacada or Vancouvar
No Attempt to Evada

Except for tho towns on the
Hprlngwater division of tho O. W. P.,
Horlng. rinrton, Eagle Creek and Ea
tacada, thn saloona In Clackamaa
county that can ho reached by car
were closed, Sunday.
Thn notice hy Mayor CauMd waa
Interpreted a an order hy tho 16
saloonkeepers of Oregon City, and
entry place closed at midnight Sat
urday night and remained closod all
day Hunday. Not one made any at
tempt to evade thn law.
It waa a warm day and If there
were any number of pcraona Buffer
Iiik from thirst, they did not exhibit
their Buffering on tho afreets or by
trying tha sldcdoora.
Chief of Polleo Hurna reports a
quint day, no arreitia or disturbance.
Few Portland people were In town.
Tho surprise of tho day waa tho
news that the two saloons of Mil
wauklo were closed, Trfr waa no
order Issued hy Sheriff Hcatlo to
closo them aa waa stated In Port
land paper, but tho sheriff did drop
tho toon kneepcra hint that tt
would bo better for them to cloao.
Tbla hint may have tx?cn repeated
by tho town official, anyway tho
thirst quenchers were locked , much
to tho sorrow of hundroda of Port
land'a elite who had eorno up un
aware that Mllwauklo teren had a
lid.
Incidents of tha Day.
..Yesterday was tho first Bunday In
nearly 2u years saloons were
closed In Oregon C'lly, though ever
since Mayor Kyan'a administration
the front doors have been locked on
tho first day of tho wek.
"For nobody knows how dry 1
am." sighed a certain Individual who
spends his spare time In tho saloons,
and his spare dimes over tho bars of
tho same. A few were wise, and
purchased their refreshments Satur
day night, hut many were not awaro
of tho closing ordinance till too late,
so they were forced to wander aim
lessly around, or gather in groups
and bless the mayor, city council
nd police department, Individually
and collectively.
Not Intending to stand around and
knock If his beer castle waa closed,
L. Kuconlch, proprietor of the Plan
et, sold copies of tho Sunday Jour
nal on tho street. He met with
great success, and returned several
times for a new supply of papers.
No change- was given by this hust
ling newsboy and he soya that there
Is moro money In selling papers than
selling Icebergs.
Saloonkeepers as a rule are reti
cent about tho new order of things.
Several were wishing they had their
Fourth of July money back, Tho Idea
of a celebration they said was to
draw a crowd to Oregon City thnt
would add to tho money In circula
tion here. A crowd Is liable to be
disorderly on the Fourth or on Sun
days. "Tho closing of Portland's sa
loons gave a chance to add nearly
$1000 a week to the circulating
money In Oregon City," said one
prominent saloonkeeper. "Tho order
closing was boxed on the grounds
that there might be disorder while
the money was being spent. Sure.
And there will probably bo disorder
on the Fourth , therefore lot's call
tho celebration off."
Quite a number journeyed out to
Erlckson's road house on the Clack
amas, but found nothing . dispensed
but ''soft" drinks, Erickson has no
license yet.
It was drier than the first Sunday
in Portland and the Indications are
that tho drouth will continue with
increasing (severity for many
months..

SERENADE
First Taste of Good Times
Coming When License
Is Granted
QUARTETTE OF SINGERS
Attempt To Ridlculo One Signer of
Remonstrance to Petition for
License to Retail
Liquor. '
August Erickson, proprietor of tho
"Clackamaa Inn, "and four companions
drove up to the front of the general
store of W. A. Holmes at Parkplaco,
Monday evening, and gave Mr.
Holmes a serenade by singing a par
ody on the popular college refrain,
"How Dry I Am."
Erickson was driving while bla
companions did the singing, and shout
ed lustily: "How dry I am! How dry
I am! Oh! Mr. Holmes, bow dry I
am!"
Mr. Holmes attributes the honor of
the visit to the fact that he signed
the remonstrance against Erickson's
petition for a liquor license. Mr.
Holmes was also credited by Erick
son with being the author of the re
monstrance, but that is a mistake.
Mr. Erickson owns a place np the
Clackamas about a mile, that he has
fixed up for a road house and resort
He has applied to the county court
for a liquor license and bis petition
has a long list of signers, more that
the legal number It is said. There Is
a strong remonstrance filed.
Since the Sunday closing of saloons
I.i Portland and Oregon City, the
question of granting a license to
Erickson has become of importance
not only to him and the residents of
that precinct but to the public in
general. There Is general fear that
crowds from Portland and Oregon
City will congregate there, and as
there is no police, rows and general
disorder would result
The place was open last Sunday
and It .was reported that only "soft"
drinks were sold. An Oregon City
man says that is not so, that real
booze was dispensed in great quan
tity. That Mr. Holmes appreciated the
serenade Monday evening, is evi
denced by the following
Card of Thanks,
I was surprised and felt very much
flattered by the serenade given me
this evening by the male quartette,
through the kindness of Mr. Aug.
Erickson and the words were bo ap
propriate too, and really if I had had
anything stronger than soda pop I
surely would have asked the whole
bunch to rinse down the dust. Now
I wish to express my thanks through
the kindness of your paper to Mr.
Aug. Erickson and quartette. Well
done, boys, come again.
