ETERNITY HALL, Eternity,
Dec. 31.-A copy of Poloniu' s
Old Years advice to his son,
Laeertes Nynetean Sixteen, was
presented the United Press cor
respondent by Father Time here
late today. 1t reads:
my son, / stand upon the
threshold of Oblivion, wherein |
soon shall vanish never to re-
turn. My legacy to you is a
sadly disorganized world; and
trust that you will faithfully
and better administer it than I
have.
You will have many things to
contend with, but take them
easy. A menagerie, led by a
Donkey, an Elephant and a Bull
Moose will chase the Winged
Rooster of Victory up and down
your days to the jaws of Novem-
Der. Heed them not.
Men with peace missions they
don't know what to do with will
try to settle a war being fought
for reasons no one has discov-
cred. Let them go.
The Panama Canal may slide
all over South America and Col
onel Cocktails conversation will
sound like frequent reference
to the Gatun Dam. Let him alone.
Cupid may pretend to scorn
Romance and be engrossed in
Eugenics. Tell him that Europe
needs babies.
Let the War Dogs chase their
own tails until the Peace Dove
sheds some of It's court plaster.
Then cautiously look about and
see what you can do to fix things
up.
Remember that styles, suf-
frage, the tariff and sampIe
mustaches you have always with
you. Do the best you can with
all these things and remember
that however powerful and able
you feel in this your youth, on

Prohibition will act as an
Unprecedented stimulus to
Tacoma and the state. =.
The year 1915 will be
banner year in the history
Of this city.
These predictions were made
today by Mayor Fawcett in an
exclusive New Years day proc
lamation to The Times.
Propped among the pillows Of a
big arm chair in his bedroom,
convalescing from the most seri-
GUS Illness of his whole life, the
mayor today declared his belief
that Tacoma would see re-
markable return of prosperity
during the coming year.
st may take a short time for
us to get accustomed to prohibi-
tion,r said the mayor, but
within a very few months we
will begin to feel the beneficial
results.
1.-THE working men who have
formerly squandered part Of
their salaries In the saloons will
begin bank accounts; their fam
lilies will be better provided and
they will pay their bills promptly.
really believe that prohibition
will be one cause of bringing US
prosperity before the end Of
1915.
Although Tacoma and the
west have not felt the stimulus
of European war orders, we don't
need them to bring US a renewa.
Of big business. With harvest
OF between 100000 and 49,
600. 900 bushels Of wheat In the
state and a decided improvement
in the lumber business we are
sure OF prosperity even without
the influence Of the war trade.
I wish everybody In the
city of Tacoma y very
HapDy New Year."

MANY BUILDINGS
WILL NOT BE FOR
RENT AFTER ALL

While at one time there were
1873 saloons in the city OF Tacoma
only 1913 saloons have city IL
censes today, according to the
city hall records.
Tomorrow there will be none at
all.
Several years ago In the balmy
days an ordinance was passed
limiting the number OF saloons In
the city to 1873. and the number
held on to the limit.
When, with the passage of a
new liquor code year ago, this
limit was taken off, the liquor
trade had fallen off and the
number of saloons has steadily
decreased to 103.
Statements from all the sa-
looms In the city, telling what
lines they will pursue under the
dry law, will be found on page 5.

LAST DAY|STOCK OF
FOR Zoo LIQUORS.
N. W.BARS|SOLD OUT

At one minute past IL o'clock
tonight 2100 saloons will go out
of existence IN the three big states
of the Pacific northwest.
Prohibition is to take effect in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho
simultaneously, increasing the
total dry" area in the United
States bv nearly 40 iier cent.
During the last month OF the
stores of liquor In the hands of
saloons and wholesale houses
have practically disappeared.
Much of 1t was sold to those who
needed the admonitions of big
banners in front of every family
liquor store" to ''stock up for the
drought"
Saloons Dismantled.
Today many saloons in every
city throughout the northwest
are dismantled, but nevertheless
they are prepared for the biggest
nights business In history. Tables
in the big cafes Of Seattle, Port
land, Tacoma and Spokane are at
a premium, and preparations were
being made to uncork the last few
bottles OF champagne.
Champagne is a scarce article
In the northwest. Since 1t became
known that the three northwest
states were going dry. no cham
payne has been received here and
the supply on hand Is almost ex-
hausted. The reyclers tonight
Will have to be satisfied with q
cheaper brand Of wine in most Of
the cafes.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-12-31

At least 30 saloons i'm Ta-
coma will begin serving soft
drinks to their patrons after
today.
In making this announce
ment to The Times today,
the proprietors said they are
going to give the soft drink
business a good fair trial, and
that II II proves successful
they will make further inn
prOvements to include bill
lizards, bowling alleys and
other attractions.
They aren't ready to go
out of business tonight and
say they are ready to stick
by the game to keep their
property intact.
Thus the renting market
will not be so glutted with
buildings as was expected.

Prices Of liquor almost
doubled today as the result
of a liquor famine preceding
