terial. The law requires that copy of
the permit must be pasted on the pack
age by the shipper and the permit
must be cancelled by the railroad agent
at the receiving station before the
package can be delivered. If there is
any failure to comply with the letter
and spirit of the law the package can
not be turned over to you. The trouble
and cost and the waste of time is so
great that general drinking is liable
to go entirely out of fashion.
This new prohibition measure that
goes into effect tomorrow is power
fully drastic law, with numerous other
provisions, including penalties for
breaking the same, are too numerous
to mention. The only ones really inter-
| ested in those provisions are the indi-
viduals inclined to ignore the law.
Such persons would do well to famil-
| iarize themselves with the measure,
as the punishment for breaking the
law is severe. and there is more of it
If one persists in breaking the law.
The trainers OF the enactment did
not propose that foreign liquor dealers
should fish for trade in this state
through the medium of advertising in
any manner by which public attention
could be called to th cir goods. Section
| 6, of the prohibition bill, forbids the
taking or soliciting of orders either
in person or by sign, circulars, letters,
posters, hand bills, cards, pricelists or
advertisements"
So there you are, and tomorrow the
new innovation becomes a real law
In this place eight establishments in

is no credit to Oroville that eight sa-
looms have flourished here for years,
but at this time it is fair to say that
because of the presence of so many sa-
looms 1t does not mean that this is an
|abnormally drinking community. What
the people of Oroville themselves con-
sumo of the fluid that cheers as well
as inebriates would hardly support a
single saloon. The multitude of drink
ing places is made possible by the con-
ditions existing here as to transporta-
ton, by which a very large number of
travellers have been compelled to lay
over every night. 1t is this transient
trade that has contributed very largely
to the support of the saloon. What
effect it will have on general business
this extreme change from wet to dry,
remains to be seen. Probably none
whatever, and in the end may prove
advantageous. The one way the town
will seriously fel the elimination of the
saloon will be through the loss of reve-
nue. from licenses. This will be serious,
as more than half of the revenue
that reaches the town treasury has
come from that source.

CHRISTMAS AT LOOMS.

The good people of Loomis have al
ways made Christmas a time of festiv-
| ity, and nowhere is the great holiday
so generally observed as in that little
camp. The children are always pro-
vided for abundantly, and good cheer
seems to permeate the very atmos-
phere. The churches have entertain
ments, well loaded trees and generally
special services. This year was no ex-
ception to the rule. Besides the Congre-
gational Sunday school entertainment,
mentioned last week, other churches
amply recognized the universal holi-
day.
Saturday morning Father Sherman
held special Christmas services in the
Catholic church, which was largely at
tended. and the eloquent divine gave a
VERY interesting and instructive dis
course on the origin OF Christmas, it's
customs and its message to the people
of the world.
The Methodist Sunday school has
held exercises and with a fruitful tree
every Christmas since the Sunday
school was first organized years ago,
and the one this yea was equal in in
terest and elaborate preparations to
any OF the many that have preceded it.
The church was crowded with children
and adults, and a most happy evening
spent. No little one was forgotten in
the distribution of presents. Mrs. w. H.
Mcdaniel has always had chief charge
of these entertainments, and 1t has
been owing to her zeal and earnestness
that they have always been such sue
cess.
The Episcopal Sunday school only
recently organized, was entertained on
|Christmas eve at the home of Mrs ]. M.
Richmond. The childrens choir furn-
ished a delightful program of eighteen
numbers, after which jovial Santa
Claus distributed candy, nuts, oranges
and toys from bountiful laden Christ
mas tree. The little folks were joined
at supper by the church choir, who la
ter added their quota to the evenings
entertainment.
