Saloon Will Continue As Dry Emporium;Cashc<Fi2,soo,ooo Paychecks In TeTvears

By £. A. PetersShut your eyes and dream a

moment!Its a hot day In summer—next

summer Your brow perspires,your skin is cracking with thewarmth, and there's a dry, tick-ling sensation in your tlirout. Youturn into the bigrest and mostelaborate bar in town.

Your senses tell you that noth-ing will quench that thirst but abig gtein of ice cold, foamy beer.

The bartender, surprised, givesyou an icy stare.

"Nothing doing!"You argue, but in vain. The

saloon doesn't sell beer, andthere's no use kicking up a fuuaabout it. Your thirst ia finallyquenched with a froth-coveredgoblet of delicious flavor. TastesJust like an old-fashioned goldenflzi.

You pay for your drink, andstart out, refreshed and tooled.

"By the way, bartender." youask over your shoulder, "whatwas that drink?"

And the bartender ceases wip-ing the mahogany counter longenough to reply:

"A cream grapejuice flstz, sir."• • •

saloon.• • •

K. 1,. Sicilif-. liad a big whole-sale Btnre at iltii and Pacific 25years ago, in the same locationnow occupied by Fisher, the ShoeMan. When his wholesale busi-ness increased, he opened a sam-ple room adjoining, covering therear half of the corner lota at11th and Pacific, the front ofwhich now contains the UnitedCigar store, and called it hisannex

Kver Rinre that time the Annexsaloon has done business at theold stiinil. It has been on themost valuable corner of the city,yet its entrance, readied througha narrow areaway leading fromPacific avenue, has been so ob-scure that most persons would,never notice it.

The saloon has passed through

many hands. J. P. Chapmanbought it from Stoke*, and thenOub Greenfield took it over, andlater Mnrtin Angel purchased it.Ten years ago D. O. (Dick) Youngand Marry O'Neill bought outAngel, and they have managed thebig bar ever since.

The Annex is one of the fewTacomn bars that will continueselling drinka after Jan. 1. Itsproprietor are experimenting, butthey believe thty will make aSUCCPfeb.

Instead of whisky and brandy

and beer and mixed drinks, thesaloon will dispense grape juice

ana •\u25a0l.o-Ju," the new drink of

the Olympia Brewing Co., andGolden Foam, the non-alcoholicbeverage of the Columbia Brew-Ing Co., and all manner of "dry"drinks.

The saloon will not change inappearance. The sunie bartenderswill be at work. The same fix-

ture* willremain. There will be

the same brass foot-rail and thesame huge mirror.

Women's trade will not be so-licited—although women will befree to enter the bar and put theirfoot on the rail and partake of agrape Juice highball if they wish.

It will be a saloon in every

sense of the word, except—

There will not be a drop of

alcoholic liquor inside the place

And none will be allowed brought

In. A man with "something onhis hip" will not be allowed toenter the place and imbibe fromhis own supply.

"We're trying an experiment,but we think it'll be a success,'declared Dick Young, one of theproprietors, today. "We believe

that the men will still want a

place to congregate, and that they

take 'dry' drlnkß almost us read-ily as they took 'wet' ones before.Especially in worm weather.

"Of course, the 'dry' drinkswon't have the power to bring aman back for a second or thirdglass, as the alcoholic drinks do,

because the patron's thirst will bequenched with one. But we're not

afraid to take a chance on keep-

ing the place going."Remember this, though:

We've figured our stock out soBtOM that there won't be a gallon

of liquor in this place when mid-night conies Friday night. Andthere won't be any more boozehere again until the law says therecan be."

\u2666 • •'I In- Annex has a novel

record of having caahed |>rob-niil> more checks ihim anyotlier Tacoma saloon, lie-fore tlie law wn« pawned pro-rihltiug a saloon from rash-ing pny-checkti, flits one barpaid out cauli on 95.000worth of |m«|mt each week,and on railroad paydays, asmuch as #M.OO« In • day.

"In ten years that we'wbeen managing the bar, we

have oaaliad over $tt,ftOO,n<K)worth of checks,'' declared1 "hum

"And here's Uu- remark-able part of it. In all Uiattime, with all the risk thatwe were taking, we liaveo'tloat it* much hs ¥•"•<»<i In badchecks.

"It whs the intent of thefruitier* of the measure toprovide for tlio securing ofonly th« one mi.uiiln of theone kind of liquor." najrsKirkpatrick, "and while thett'rniK of ilils section of theuct limynot lit> ejul h • •!» cleur,1 believe that Marti will !>•• thefinal interpretution of thelaw."

WHICH DAY KFKKCTIVMAnother question which is

bothering some minds is just whattime the dry law does take effect,anyway. The law says "fromand afler Jan. 1, 1916." Some ofthe saloonkeepers are overlookingthe "from" and taking th«"after," are asking that they beallowed to stay open New Year'sday, and have asked the attorneygeneral to so interpret the law.

SPOKANE, Dec. 29.—Tracingmasculiuo ll(|uor law violator*after the firm of the year by theirbreath, was the plan suggestedtoday at a meeting of the KranceeWlllard Union, of the W. 0. T. U.,by Mra. A. J. Albrlng, president.

"Tliere are hundreda of car-lo-ads of liquor stored away inthis state," said Mrs. Albrlng.\u25a0'Liquor is like a skunk. Its smellRives it away. After the first ofthe year, if we smell liquor oh.a man's breath in a street car wecan trace him down In that way."

Mrs. Albring said there wasone stumbling block to thisscheme. According to reliable In-formation, nhe understood someliquor drxli-rn kept a preparationin their establishment by drink-ing which the odor of the liquorwas killed.

Here and in King county atleast, the dry law will be enforcedafter midnight Friday night.
