TALZXJW Prime, per lb, li4ci No. or go tne otner way. n w n iimum out of a thousand. All depended upon whether the eastern markets would drop or not. No one expected them to go higher. But they did, and this, to some extent, is what caused the price to rise here-today. Small Ones Will reel ftlae. It is the small creameries those that are Just starting up In business and have not as yet established a trade that will feel the effects of the present ad vance. There Is practically no northern outlet for butter at this time, for the laet advance has put this market above that on the sound. The surplus product will have to be aold somewhere, and in competition with the older and well established creameries the newer ones will have no chance to compete, and In order to get rid of their butter they will be forced to cut under prices. It Is here where they will feel the effects of today's advance. As the , price of butter advances a corresponding ad vance is made In the price of butter fat or sweet cream. It means that much more loss to the smaller creameries if they are forced to sell their product at cut prices, for all will have to pay the top notch for butter fat. Butte rat Is Tory High.

Dry as a bona. Tight as a drum. For the first time slncer-th Hudson Bay company first aold Jamaica rum to the. Indians and Scotch trappers 75 years ago, the residents of tha thriving city of Van couver went yesterday with an unslaked thirst, save tha little comfort that might ba extracted from a gourd of cold, sparkling, delicious well water. Mot only did tha barkeepa in tha city by the Columbia have a holiday, but the lea cream girls, cigar store clerks, boot blacks In fact everybody except the drug olerka and tha restaurant-keepers nad a day on. There waa no make-believe about it either; the town was absolutely closed. The streets were thronged with peo ple, many of whom were clamoring for refreshments of one sort or another, but hot even an ice cream soda could be had for love nor money. Child Cries for Bread. One little 4-year-old tot was seen atandlne- in front of a bakery, with tears streaming down his face, begging his mother ror tne cooaie in tne winaow of the closed shop. A few hundred Porflanders, who do not read The Journal, went over lit the afternoon, hoping to get a little sur cease from their sorrow, but returned later In tha evening hating tha word "reform" more bitterly than aver. Many of tha law-and-order element of the little city expressed the utmost satisfaction at the results of the first closed Sunday, although soma thought that the authorities, in their seal to make Sunday closing unpopular, bad gone too far in closing ice cream and cigar stores and bootblack stands. NAILED DOWN TO STAT The New York stock market was buJ ish today, with the entire list up at the close.

(Special Dlapatck te Tha Journal. ) Vancouver, Waah., July 1. With a suddenneaa that brought the old resi dents to a atanding position, the Ud went on yesterday In Vancouver and Clarke county. It was no half lid, eith er, for you could not buy even a cigar. It was a sorry day for the thirsty crowd from Portland that started early for Vancouver. The lid la well nailed down, and it la atated upon authority that the only tool that can pull the nails will be the repealing of the Sunday closing laws by tne next state legislature. It was lata Saturday evening before Sheriff Sapplngton and his deputies and tha Vancouver polio eommenoed serv ing notloe upon tha bualness men of Vancouver engaged In Sunday trade that the Sunday closing laws war to be rig idly enforced. There waa consternation on every hand. No thought had been entertained that County Attorney Bta pleton would close other than the sa loons, and even these were happy In the belief that they would have one more Sunday In which to do bualness. But the county attorney had held a long consultation with a brother attorney, and tn8 result is self-evident At the courthouse the word was given out that this Is no sham closing, as was the case a few years ago, when for two Sundays the town was. olosed. The sheriff Is preparing to enforce the law to the letter permanently. While In a general way everything was closed yesterday in Vancouver there were two or tnree violations or tne law and one arrest. Coffman ft Betrs, proprietors of the LaToska saloon on Washington street were arrested last evening for allowing their place to be open. It Is almost a known fact, and In fact the police have definite Information that there were other violations of law, but there Is no evidence to convict. Ir respective of what the attitude of the city offlclala may be, the police have been given strict orders to arrest all violators of the Sunday closing law, and the order has been carried out. Over at least one saloon yesterday, and possibly others, beer and other liquor was given away. This was no 'viola tion of the law, aa It took place In a private room. A large amount oTTjeer was brousrht from Portland bv the keg. and as soon as it was known that the saloons were to ba closed local people began loading up, and dosens carried home witn tnem targe quantities 01 oot tled roods on Saturday night. The police made 13 arrests for drunk enness. A week ago three arrests were made, and the waek before that but two. A number of those taken in yes terday came Irom Yacoit. The dry belt extends over the entire county. A number of weeks ago Waah ougal, Cams and Yacoit went dry, and by order of the county attorney, aerved by Sheriff Sapplngton, the remaining towns where there are drinking places were closed. It is openly evident that tha people are divided upon the Sunday closing proposition. Those who have been ac tive In bringing about the clodlng of saloons declare they will stick to the fight and Attorney Edgar Swan, who has charge of the fight for them, haa this to say: "It seems to be the purpose of the county attorney to make the Sunday closing movement unpopular by insist ing that the bakeries and ice cream par lors be closed. "Any such scheme will avail the sa loonmen nothing,-;, aa It cannot defeat the movement. The people are deter mined that the saloons shall be closed on Sunday, and closed they must be. "It is a different matter with the tee cream ana confectionery business. No one objects to this, unless it be front an FIVE M'J CARS AH TODAY First Consignment of Open Conveyances Ordered by 0. W. P. Are Here. Five open cars for use on lines of tha O. W. P. reached Portland today' from the St. Louis shops and will b put on the run at once. This Is tha first ship ment of an order of 35 cars that was placed with the car butldera soma time ago. Of the total number 15 will be used on the lines of tha O. W. P., while the remaining 20 will be put on the olty runs. All cars are large and of the open construction for summer use. It Is the intention of the company to purchase an equal number Of closed cars for winter months for delivery later In the year. The second order, however, will be for the car bodies only, as the trucks and motors under the summer cars will be used on the winter cars during that season. The new ears will be delivered within a ahort time and when all are here will go far toward relieving the congestion on the heavy ltnea. It will be possible for the company to Increase the service during the rush hours so that tha pres ent overcrowded condition existing twice each day will be greatly lessened if not entirely overcome.
