Peter Paimentier was asked Tuesday how
many drinks OF beer. according to his esti-
mate. are consumed each day in Pendlelon,
say the +. q. Mr. Parmentier said he
could give almost the exact figures. In
cluding the two breweries. there are eight
cen places in the city selling beer. They
will averrge about 200 drinks each or .
total of about $500. This is very light. and
during flush times these figures would be
radically changed. Mr. Parmentier him
self has sold on many days 1000 drinks OF
beer, and on single Fourth of July has
dealt over his bar 2So0 mugs of beer.
Other saloon men have done similarly maxi
ing 1t easy to believe that when Pendleton
In prosperous times indulges in national

.ism, last summer there were consumed
IN Pendlston twentyti i've cars of beer. This
would amount to 16, barrels, or So, 200
gallons. Each gallon averages sixteen
drinks rs they run, larger or smaller. or a
total during the summer of 1898 of .SSl,
200. This allows SS3 drinks for each man,
woman and child on basis of 1000 inhab-
itants. But comparatively few of this pop
ulation are drinkers. Ii would be safe to
say that only 1000 persons, residents and
transients, imbibed, so that they mast have
swallowed an average of 1880 glasses of
beer each. Then in addition was all the
wine ard other liquors. and one is set to
wondering how there were any sober men
ut any time among those who may be
classed as drinkers. Some fall far below
the average, Others must have attained
pretty close TO the distinction of absorbing
from 5000 to 5000 drinks each. while an il
lustrious few got away with nearly 10000.
The E. Q. forgets that q great deal is
drunk by transients.
