Tbe tribute to William McKinley by the people of the United States, In the form of a mas sive memorial at his birthplace In this town, will cost a halt million dollar. Architects have completed the plans, and the contracts are now being; let. An entire city block has been pur chased, upon which the great marble building will be placed. The building will be 2324 feet in length. 136 feet feet deep and 36 feet high, thus mak Ing It even larger than tbe proposed Lincoln memorial at Washington. One wing of the building will con tain a library, to which J30.000 has al ready been contributed by William C Frlck. The opposite wing will con- tain an auditorium, while the center of the building and the second story will contain relics and rooms for the grand army posts. In front of the butlduig will be placed a statute of President McKin ley. In the court of honor will be bronxe busts of Senator Murk Mari na, Secretary John Hay, former Pres ident Taft and other men who were associated with the martyred preti- dent. Dusts of men prominent In the Iron and steel Industry will also be placed there. The structure Is to be of marble and will be surrounded by a small park. It will front on the main street of the city, within a stone's throw of the birthplace of McKinley. It will stand on the lot where w as located the little schoolhouse where McKinley re ceived his early education. The project is under the care of the National McKinley Birthplace Memor ial association, of which Joseph G. Butler, of Youngstown, O., Is presi dent, and whose members Include My ron T. llerrlck, W.

Tbe 10 demijohns found In the wagon, did not meet these requirement, although four of the bU bottle were labeled Mooae lodxe. The whiskey waa taken to th north side of the courthouse near tbe river bank where Sheriff Wilson emptied the demijohns. The order to pour out the liquor was Issued by Justice 8iever upon tbe advice of District Attorney Hedges. A sweeping denial that the SO gal lon of liquor confiscated by Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Frost early Sun day morning was going to tbe Moose lodge, as an organization, and the as sertion that never alnce It organiza tion here liquor bad never been brouRht Into the clubroom with the knowledge of the officers, waa made Monday by C. S. Noble, dictator of the lodge. Mr. Noble said that In case any liquor had been brought to the club, It wa brought here by the ludivldual members and not by the lodge Itself. He denied that targe shipment had been received In tbe past and said be sincerely regretted tbe publicity given the entire affair. Mr. Noble was re cently re-elected head of the local branch of the order. Henry Tucker, one of the two men arrested with the load of liquor early Sunday morning, produced a bill of sale Monday from W. J. Van Schuyver Ic company, which was made out to himself and dated May 15. The total value of the liquor, according to the bill. Is $119.50. No action was taken by the county officials Monday. District Attorney Hedges had no statement to make but it is thought probable that the case will be taken directly before the grand Jury, which is now In session. Tbe of ficers of the lodge may be made de fendants If evidence showing that the lodge as an organization sanctioned the handling of tbe liquor. The grand Jury will probably not complete Its work until Wednesday. Evidence of a senational character Is hinted at by county officials. Testi mony to the effect that tbe shipment early Sunday morning was merely one of a number of shipments said to be in the hands of the county officials. The arrest of Calvin Price and Hen ry TiicVer, and the seizure of the liq uor has proven to be the most talked of case In Clackamas county for sev eral months.

ADAMS DEPARTMENT STORE WASHINGTON, May 14. Recent developments In the International sit uation have revived discussion of the proposal for the purchase by the Unit ed States of Lower California from Mexico. That this tongue of land Is so separated from Mexico and so geo graphically a part of the United States coast line on the Pacific is the reason assigned by early proponents of the purchase. The present day attraction is Mag- dalena Ray, which Is of strategic value to the United States, and possesses one of the best harbors on the coast. Lower California possesses vast min eral wealth in gold, silver. Iron, cop per land and other deposits. By irri gation a vast portion of Us now value less arid lands, could, it is thought, be transformed Into agricultural land of high value. On the resumption of responsible government In Mexico, It Is said here that it Is not likely that proposals looking to the purchase will be made. They are 70 Year Old.
