According to the Baker City dis
patch, three men visited a store in
town to purchase kimona and had a
discussion regarding the size of the
garment, one declaring he could not
wear it as it was too small. Noting
the look of surprise on the clerks
face he said it was for a large woman.
He purchased a large garment.
Shortly before the purchase was made
it is said a man visited another store
and was shown some motherhubbard

has been found who saw two men
and a supposed woman near the scene

LIQUOR STATISTICS.
Cleveland Has Most Saloons in Pro-
portion to Population.

Washington. Oct. SIN proportion
to population Cleveland has more sa-
looms than any other city in the United
States. Before the earthquake San
Francisco was ahead of the Ohio city
in this respect. st. Louis and Milwau-
kee are close competitors for second
place. Despite the large number nr
dramshopS in those brewery towns the
number of arrests for drunkenness is
Proportionately very low. Either men
do not get drunk in large mum bers IN
the cities named. or if they get drunk
they are not disorderly. At least they
are not arrested.
These facts are brought out in a spe-
cial report made public today by the
census bureau. The report pres entS
comparisons of statistics of cities hav-
ing a population of more than 10000.
1t compares the cost of government re-
ceipts from all sources, city debt and
other features of city government. The
statistics were collected by the census
bureau between 1902 and 1905. The
totals for 154 cities show a greac IN
crease in the cost of government from
1902 to 1905. The aggregate cost for
the 154 cities in 1902 was s46S.747,55
total public debt of all the cities in
creased approximately to the same
extent.
Cleveland Has 3.177 saloons.
For Cleveland 3,177 saloons ana
clubs were reported and 1887 arrests
for drunkenness in 1905. For st.
Louis 2,50S saloons and clubs were re-
ported and only 4,644 arrests for
drunkenness. For Milwaukee aba
saloons and clubs and 2,S34 arrests for
drunkenness. Kansas City is reported
with 629 saloones and 2,489 arrests for
in 1905.
The census experts make interesting
comparisons of the average rate of in
terest paid by cities on their public
debt. Cleveland and Chicago pay 4.3:
pays "a; St. LOUIS 3.S;
Boston 81; Kansas City "A; Denver
pays SIS. 4
The report shows that St. Louis mas
more policemen in proportion to popu-
lation than any other city in the eouri- !
try In a statement made public with
the report, the director of the Gems
calls attention to the fact that the sta
tistics are valuable chiefly for COM
parison and that as they were collected
between 1902 and 1905 necessarily they
do not accurately present conditions in |
cities at the present time.
