One dealer with a sense of humor marked down soma of the excuses offered for future reference. The one that took the grand prlxe and gold medal was that of a -customer who bought two gallon of whisky. He rxplalned carefully to the dealer that under no circumstances would he drink the "stuff." JIo wanted It, be said, for hair tonic. "This has been the rre.ta',t cleanup In liquor sales on tha Pacific Coast." said one d-alr yesterday. "It was a a-enulns surprise to most of us. If we had anticipated It we could have aold just about twice what we did sell. "In the pat six montha more Hqnor has been sold the family trade right here In Portland than waa ever sold before In the whole of Oregon In a year perhaps it would ba nearer the irutn to say It waa greater than was ever sold In the state In a year and a half before.

Another Is ''Going- Up In Balloon." Non-Intoxicating BeTcra-jea and Lunches Will Be Stock of Those Continuing Business. Not all the saloons of Portland will close their doors for good Just becausa prohibition haa come to pass. True, the majority of the nearly tuu saloons In the city will be locked up for the laat time tonight. But a goodly number of the proprietors of thirst es tablishments in the downtown districts have made arrangements to continue In business, for a time, at least, to cater soft drinks or lunches. Tho Turn Hall, at Fourth and Tarn- hill, of which Charles Kirchner and Henry Banno are the proprietors, will enlarge the present grill run In con nection with the bar. and make a spe cialty of Dutch lunches. Soft drinks also will be served. Tha Lotus saloon, on Sixth street be tween Washington and Alder, which is aald to ba the most Iuxunousiy-ap nolnted liauor establishment on the Pa cific Coast, has been in the hands of a receiver for more than a year. The receiver. John E. Kelly, has announced that nlans to continue the Lotus as an exclusive soft drink and lunch parlor for women will not be followed. Lotus Kqalprneat t Be Sold. However, there is a possibility that the Lotus may be re-opened under dif ferent management on these or similar lines. At 10 o'clock Monday morning. January 2. the flttlnsrs and glassware, all of which is of imported Belgian cutglass. will be sold to the highest bidder for the benefit or the credit ors. It Is considered not unlikely that the purchaser may assume the lease and continue to operate it Mr. Kelly will close his own saloon and family liquor store at Morrison and West Park streets for good. He will go to New Tork about the middle of the month to negotiate for the agency of a new kerosene-burning automobile engine. George Schults. proprietor of the Pchultx Cafe at Fifth and Washington streets, will turn his cafe Into a aoft drink establishment. Near beer and loganberry and other non-alcoholic beverages anad lunches will be sold. "I'm going up In a balloon." said the manager of the Stutt Sc. Howland sa loon. Sixth and Washington streets, in reply to the popular query, "What are you going to do after the first of the yearT" It baa already been announced, how ever, that that particular establish ment will go out of business. E. F. Schneider, of the Yeora Buffet, expects to take a vacation of several months. He declares he will quit the saloon business. One Clad ef Prohlbltloa. I J. E. Fait, of Falfs bar. Fifth and Morrison streets, is one saloonkeeper who Is glad that prohibition has come. His attitude is explained by the fact that be has made most of his profit during the time that he has occupied hla present location by filling orders for crawfish, cocktails and oyster cock tails. His crawfish business last year was prodigious, and he expects to do an even larger business In 1916. He said that the elimination of "booxe" from hla bar would also elimi nate the "roughnecks" and leave a class of trade much to be desired. Owners of the B. Ic B. Cafe, Fourth and Washington streets, will probably go out of the business entirely. They find the greatest profit in alcoholic liquors and are loth to attempt the sale of soft drinks. No definite arrange ments have been made as to the dispo sition of their place. Whether the Waldorf. Broadway and Washington street, will continue for the dispensation of soft drinks had not been decided last night. It was inti mated that there was a possibility of Its continuing. Tha ealoonmen who display temper at the thought of prohibition seem t he In the minority. There may be some who contemplate the law with hard feeling, but they have taken a philo sophic attitude toward It. alaaasnea Anaaaee Plana.

Un IDAHO GOES DRY TONIGHT Law I Termed Drastic and Penal ties Are Severe. BOISE. Idaho. Dec 20. Tomorrow at midnight Idaho will go dry by virtue of statutory prohibition. Most of the state has been dry under the local op tion, so only about 150 saloons will go out of businesa with the dawning of the new year. Idaho's prohibition law is said to be the most drastic In the Union. It not only closes the saloons, but makes poss session of any kind of malt or spiritu ous liquor a crime, excepting wine for sacramental purposes, and pure alcohol for medicinal, scientific and mechanical uses, which is procurable only on an erder from the probate court. EXTRA DAY HOT WANTED OREGON' SALOONMEN NOT TO TEST FROH AND AFTER" CLAUSE. Lack of Liquor Haa Much to Do With Decision to Pasa by Chance for Another 24 Hours. While Washington ealoonmen are striving their hardest to gain one day. January 1. for the sale of liquor, no ..v. .ion h.e Keen .tufted in Ore gon, even though the phrasing of the law in this state is exactly the same as (n IVoBtilnoinn In both states the statute provides that prohlDition eoaii do eueciue -f ano .fi.i." th. first riav In Janu ary. The Washington liquor dealers are urging that this, properly inter preted, wouia start, ine ary open .uui January 1, and would not Include the first day of the year, although there seems to be but poor prospect of their success. There may be two reasons why Ore gon liquor men have started no fight for the extra day. First, that they will have no liquor on band to test the validity of the law. and second, they have taken their fate philosophically and have not cared for the revenues that might have accrued from an extra day's sales. At any rate, the fact remains that the saloon men of Oregon have inter preted the Oregon law as the drafters meant it should be Interpreted, and some of the saloon owners will even close their places a few hours before the time set by law.
