notice was served upon the saloon-keepers,
by the Anti-Saloon league to either
keep their saloons closed on Sundays or
appear- before) the court' to answer' the
charge of breaking th state Sunday
closing law.' . The leader of this move
ment Is Rev. Mr. Kemp of the Metho
dist church her. The saloon-keepers.
among whom are Miles Bheiin, Otto
Kappelle, AI Lee, J. Pierce. Ed Clark
and Jo Doherty, held a consultation
and decided that ' all other - places of
business must obey the state Sunday
closing law. . As a result, all business
places were closed last Sunday, includ
ing olgar and fruit stands. W. J. Diets
being appointed on th committee to
keen watch over the stores.
The logging camps and many of the
mills are five or six miles out of town,
and th employes claim that to do their
trading they must take a day off and
if they cannot trade on Sunday they
must lose a day's wares whenever tbey
wish, to do any purchasing,
- A similar but vain attempt at Sunday
closing was made two years ago by R
Mr. Thorpe, a Methodist preacher.
