Over at Cedar Rapids, where the
people are anxious TO secure Billy
Sunday for revival meetings, an in
terested citizen wrote an OttumWa
banker friend, asking information con-
corning business conditions in that
city as the result of closing the sa-
looms. The banker replied as follows:
ION or about Dec. %, 1908, the thir-
ty-four saloons doing business in OF
tumwa were closed by the filing of a
petition purporting to contain the
signatures of a majority of the voters
in Ottumwa, asking that consent for
the operation of the saloons be with
drawn.
The sufficiency of the petition has
not yet been determined by the courts,
but already rooms of two of the sa-
looms in the business district have re-
opened with legitimate mercantile
business. Several of the other saloons
have been re-opened as soft drink par
lors, and are operating strictly within
thef law. Several other rooms in de-
sirable locations can he rented at good
prices for business purposes, but the
lessees choose to wait the decision of
the court on the petition matter before
giving up the idea of opening them
again for saloon purposes. Some of
the rooms located on what are known
as Battle Row and Smoky Row will
probably be vacant for some time be-
fore suitable business enterprises will
occupy them, but in the main the

"It has been less than three months
since the saloons were closed, yet the

ports, have gained in this time $73,-
COO Investigation shows one saving

which is an s per cent increase and
actually equals the increase made by
