When Roar Admiral Evans was
told that a voto was soon to bo taken
In Oregon on tho question of prohibi
tion, ho threw up his hnnds and ex
claimed:
"What do thoy want to do? Ruin
tho stnto?"
Admiral Evans bollovoa in temper
nnco In all things, but draws tho line
sharply nt prohibition. His personal
oxporlonco In Maine, whon he
wns commander of tho North Atlnutlc
fleet, caused him to tnko a firm
stand ngnlnst such radical restrictive
laws, and resulted In his forbidding
ships under his commnnd to visit the
hnrbor of Portland, Mo.
"Conditions wero so bnd In Port
land," snld Adimrnl Evnns, "thnt I
refused to allow nny of our ships to
visit thnt port. When tho men wont
nshoro they woro met on tho dock
by n lot of parasites who stcorod
thorn Into somo low dives. Thinking
that would be tho only opportunity
to get n drink thoy gorgod thomsolvcs
on vile, wood alcohol poison, which
mado thorn so drunk, thnt thoy could
not oven recognlzo tholr olncors. Tho
actions of-tho police townrd our mon
was so repugnant that It was not
right to allow them to go ashore. It
was tho worst spot I ovor saw In my

"Wo never hnd such troublo In n

In cities whoro thoro nro opon sa

tho Inst chanco to got n drink whon
thoy woro shown ono of thoso dives,

bounds of discipline.
'Tho prohibitionists forced tho
