rfrE SUNDAY OREGONTAX, PGETXAND, . AUGUST 1, 1909- 10 1Z1AS PREPARE FOR GREAT CLIMB Departure to Be Taken Tomor row With Mount Baker as Objective Point. BELLINGHAM TO ENTERTAIN .So and City Will Speed. Party on Its Way In Automobiles Conditions Said to Be Right for Success- fill Assault on Heights. With the departure of 50 Mazamas to morrow night for Mount Baker, the 17th annual outing of that organization will have begun. More than usual interest has been aroused in this year's trip, as those members who participated in the ascent of Mount Baker in 1906 agree it is one of the most interesting climbs the club has ever undertaken. The fact that the summit was not reached at that time, owing to an un fortunate choice In the route, has aroused a desire in every member of the party to make this climb a complete success. Bell Ingham to Entertain. The party vill leave here tomorrow night shortly after midnight, reaching Bcllingham. Wash., at noon Tuesday, where members will be the guests of the Bellingham Board of Trade during the afternoon and evening. Three years ago the citizens of Belllngham not only en tertained the Mazama party that visited Mount Baker, but they raised SO0 with which to open a trail to the timber line at Mazama Dome, where the camp was established, without which trail-cutting entrance would have been impossible. In addition to entertaining this year's outing party, these generous people have arranged to send them to the end of the wagon road by automobile. As this can be done In two hours, the campers will be able to reach permanent camp with little fatigue. From the end of tin wagon road members of the party will walk to the camp already established on the south slope of Mount Baker, a dis tance of about eight miles. Good Climb Predicted. C. H. Sholes. chairman of the outing committee, is now at the permanent camp and advises that everything is in readi ness. Weather conditions are most fa vorable at the present time, he says, and he predicts the outing will be successful in every respect. The site of the permanent camp is at the timber line, in a beautiful open park of heather and small trees, within a few minutes' walk of the watershed be tween Baker River and Middle Fork. In plain view are Mount Rainier, Mount Shukshan. the Cascades, Baker Lake, and facing westward Puget Sound, the islands; a scene unsurpassed by any other pos sible vantage ground. The route to be followed In making the ascent of Mount Baker will be up the Middle Fork of the Nooksack. closely following the historic trail of the Cole man party, which made the first ascent in 1S68. It is quite probable that Mount 8hukshan will be climbed while the Mazamas are in that region. Other trips to nearby points of interest will be ar ranged for as opportunity offers.

Prohibition vs. Licensed Saloon Liquor Dealers Issue Statement In Which They Set Forth the Argument for Conditions as They Are Here Experiences of Other States. PORTLAND. July 30. (To the Edi tor.) The Oregonian's editorial article yesterday entitled "Light On Prohibition," was the subject of discussion at a meeting of the Whole sale Liquor Dealers' Association of Portland yesterday. In that editorial you ask the ques tions "Does Prohibition prohibit or not" and "Do restrictions on thn nl if If. quor diminish Its use or Increase it?" You add the conclusion that "The fact that persons who are interested finan cially In the manufacture and sale of drinks oppose restrictive legislation, would seem to be decisive of both ques tions." because you assume they would not take the trouble to fight laws which did not hurt their business. As the people of Oregon will doubt less be called upon to vote on this question next year, and as The Ore- gonian will wish to present both sides j or the problem, your consideration is asked of the following statement: The best answer to the question of whether or not prohibition prohibits logically found In Maine, where prohi bition has been a part of the constitu tion for nearly 60 years. The fact that liquor Is sold everywhere In Maine, and that this condition has ob tained ever since the prohibition law was passed, is too notorious to re quire more than mere mention. The most recent and striking proof of this is the statement of Wilbur C. Weldon. recorder of the Municipal Court of Portland, Me., who has publicly stated that there are over 400 men and women In Portland who come before his court time and again charged with drunken ness, and he advocates the establish ment of a drunkards' farm there, that these habitual tipplers may be cared for. If further evidence were needed, it la found In the last report of the Com missioner of Internal Revenue, which shows that In prohibition Maine there are more Federal licenses Issued for the retailing of liquor than there are in "wet" Virginia, proportioned to popu lation. The reason we oppose prohibition laws is plain. The manufacturer has for many years, under sanction of the law, established a trade upon which he could rely, both as to quality and quan tity purchased, and the commercial in tegrity of his customers. His money has been Invested in that business in good faith. To wipe out that estab lished custom and to force him to build up a new trade, with unknown men. without credit, who are known lawbreakers, is sufficient explanation of his opposition to prohibitory laws. Where his business has been honorable and reasonably safe, the prohibition laws would make It Illegal and pre carious. The position of the retailer is similar. If the law demands that he cease to sell liquor, he loses his investment, and it Is no consolation for him to know that some one who Is willing to defy the law Is supplying the demand. In prohibition territories there are sold by bootleggers, the cheapest brands, poor In quality and heavily adulterated. No decent manufacturer wishes to turn out such goods. The brewer, the dis tiller, the wholesaler and retailer are Justified in opposing prohibitory laws, because they legislate them out of business, confiscate their property and subject them to public condemnation and abuse, without in any degree les sening the consumption of liquor, with out decreasing the commission of crime, and without Improving the morals of a community. The statement that prohibition will show Its best results In the coming generation, because the young will be brought up without the contaminating seductions of the legalized saloon, is open to various constructions. There can be no guide in such mat ters but experience, and again the State of Maine furnishes the best guide, because prohibition has been law there lor.g enough to test out the claim, that the young are better off , without the legalized saloon. There has been plenty of time for the demon stration of this claim In Maine. Fifty seven years without the legalized sa loon has brought little comfort to those who wished to see a proper solution of the liquor evil. There is more drink ing, and by far more drunkenness in Maine today than ever before. This is not argument, it Is simple faot. More than a generation ago. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon sin adopted state-wide prohibition. Certainly these are representative states, rich in experience, long settled and progressive. In every one of them prohibition has been repealed, with the single exception of Ohio, where prohi bition was made a constitutional pro vision. But the financial disaster and the farcical enforcement of the law were so great following prohibition that today any one may violate the constitution of the State of Ohio by paying the state $1000 for that privi lege. Of the original prohibition states there remain but Maine and Kansas and certainly they do not compare, if figures are to be believed. In morality, education, wealth or progresslveness, with any of the first mentioned states. In Kansas, liquor is sold In kitchens, in Junk shops. In tailor shops. In bil liard parlors and practically every where. In Maine, you do not even have to ask for a drink; It Is brought to your room and Is Included In :he rate you pay for accommodation. The rec ords of the Internal Revenue Office show that when Oklahoma was "wet" there were 105 Federal licenses paid In Oklahoma City. This year, with Ok lahoma "dry" there are 307 licenses. "The contaminating Influence of the legalized saloon" would thus seem to be Infinitely preferable to the contam inating Influence of the "speak-easy." The plea of the prohibitionists Is that the saloon destroys the home. If this were true the saloon could not exist anywhere in America very long. That it Is not true is made plain by figures taken from the recent report of the United States Census Depart ment on marriage and divorce. In Maine, the ratio of divorces to mar riages is 1 to 6. In New York, It Is 1 to 41. In New Jersey It Is 1 to 45. Based on population, the ratio of di vorces for Maine is 1 to 42. For New York, 1 to 250. The most significant and startling fact of these figures is given in the statement of the propor tion of divorces in which drunkenness Is given as the direct cause. With one exception Maine has the 'largest per centage of such divorces of all the states in the Union. The percentage of divorces granted in which drunken ness or intemperance was given as the cause for the whole United States Is: Of women, 1.1, of men, 5.3. In Maine the percentage is: " Of women, 3.3, of men, 16.9. It would seem from the foregoing that the licensed saloon Is far better for a community at large and for the rising generation, than prohibition. The licensed saloon is a known quantity and can be regulated. Under prohibi tion, the dive, the dump and the speak easy are unknown quantities which breed drunkenness. Immorality and contempt for the law. Prohibition destroys revenue and prop erty. It has nowhere improved condi tions or morals. It is responsible for the unparalleled political rottenness of Maine, where violators of the law pay tribute to corrupt officials and where contempt for the law is universal. Why should not the man financially in terested In the manufacture or sale of liquors oppose prohibition? The direct personal Interest of the advocate of any theory does not lessen the force of facts, and a due consideration of the bald facts on this subject Is all that is necessary to insure the defeat of prohibition in Oregon. Why should not every good citizen, and every newspaper having the welfare of the community at heart, oppose prohi bition? THE WHOLESALE LIQUOR-DEALERS' ASSOCIATION Oi" PORTLAND. I change in position of the Columbia River lightship and the whistling buoy. Captain Elllcott Is In favor of grant ing the request and will refer the mat ter to the Lighthouse Board with his approval. The changes, which would be of In estimable value to navigators, will consist of shifting the light vessel E. S. E. a distance of 1 miles from the present position. This would place the ship In direct line with the Can by light and distant therefrom 714 miles. A ship entering the river at night would be able to steer a course direct from the lightship for Canby light. From Its present position the whis tling .buoy will be shifted to the south east and will line up between the ilght vessel and Canby light. If the changes are carried out.
