QUIET NIGHT, POLICE SAY
THE MORNIXG OREGONIAN", FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1920.
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.

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.

NEW HATGHERY STARTED
PLANT AT CHINOOK, WASH., TO
REPLACE OLD ONE.
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.
