Unlet Temper of Public Undergoes
Radical Change Clackama Sa
loon Will Probably Be
Legitlated Out.
It Is a fur cry until next November
when the state and county elections
will be held, but If the present temper
of the people of this city and county
doe not undergo material, Clacka
ma will be listed In the dry column
without a doubt. There were only
105 votes majority on the site' of the
wet in June of last year, and this
show how narrow the margin 1 and
how equally the sentiment wag di
vided at that time. '
The recent fiasco In connection with
the Investigation of alleged violation
of the Sunday closing law In Oregon
City ha been a mighty factor In In
fluencing public sentiment, but to Just
what extent cannnt now be determin
ed. The local liquor dealers are In a
position of a house divided agalnut
Itself. The Impression has gone abroad
that some of the saloons have re
ceived favors that were not extended
to others and It Is a afe assertion
that they will keep a watchful eye
on one another for violations of the
law. There are 1C saloons In Oregon
City and their gross Income from the
sale of liquor is variously estimated
at anywhere from $100,010 to $125.
000 per annum. Tbey rent 16 build
ings and provide employment for
about CO men, many of whom have
families. These latter figures are used
a-s a stock argument for the retention
of saloons. Oswego Is the last pre
cinct to vote dry, an election on the
question of prohibition having been
held there several weeks ago. Other
precincts that have voted out the sa
loons are Canny, Estacada, and Bor
ing. The only saloons In Clackamas
County outside of Oregon City at the
present time are In Mllwaukie, Barlow
and Wllsonvllle.
