The saloon men expect tho annual Christmas sales to be only a small fac tor compared to the large orders that will be booked during the remaining days' of grace. It Is reported that some of the prominent liquor dealers nave found It necessary to hire additional help to ship orders to points throughout the state, while an extra number of de livery, wagons Is required for the city t fO ll All arrangements, with only a few exceptions, have been made for the closing of the buildings as whiskey es tablishments and their renting ror otn- er purposes.
