KOEPPEN'S Who Run the Store that Serves You Best Washington, A new system of handling callers at the executive of fices of the white house has Just been put into operation by Secretary Chas. Dyer Norton. Heretofore visitors hoping to penetrate to the president's private office have been dealt with mainly by Secretary Norton or As sistant Secretary Forster, both of whom attempted the task of weed ing out the undesirables. Now Secretary Norton has put the secret service operatives at the white house to work. Two operatives charged with the safety of the presi dent are always on duty at the execu tive offices during the time that the president is In his office. Formerly they waited In the reception room and mingled unostentatiously with the heterogeneous crowd of callers. Ap parently they had no connection with the white house force. Norton, however, has put them to work handling the callers, In the ca pacity of ushers. It Is their business to Interview every caller, ascertain his business, size him up, and In all ways possible facilitate their quick dspos al. They are practically under secre taries nowadays, and are supposed to weed out callers of the crank variety, an.l switch visitors who really have not any imperative business with the executive over to Secretary Norton. The new duties do not Interfere with their specified duty of personally sit ing up all white house callers on the contrary, it gives them a better chance to Inspect visitors. The new plan has worked like a charm. Never before In the Taft ad ministration has the president been able to dispose of so many callers In so Bhort a time. A great deal of crit icism was leveled at the white house during the last session of congress by certain congressmen who had to wait two and three hours to see the execu tive. The president was generally an hour behind his engagement list. People who could Just as well have been handled by one of the secretaries were permitted to take up the execu tive's time with minor matters, which visitors of importance cooled their heels and got hot under the collar out In the reception room. Here is the way In which the ordi nary caller, who comes to the white house with a legitimate business with the president progresses: First, he is met at the door by two uniformed policemen, who ask him h's business, and pass him on to the large reception hall. Incidentally, these two officers have been on duty at the executive offices for ten years. They know every public official, ev ery senator and congressman, and every man of prominence In the coun try. Once In the large reception hall, the visitor sits down to wait. Before long one of the two secret service men takes his name down on a special blank, on which his business is stat ed, and whether he desires to see Sec retary Norton or the president. The caller must convince the secret ser vice men that he has a legitimate ex- 4 Ji At Wohlenberg Department Store All Fancy Drawn Work and Embroidered Linen pieces All Toys and Dressed Dolls All Knit Scarfs and Shawls All Fur Neck Pieces All Childrens Coats ALL LADIES COATS ALL LADIES AND MISSES SUITS Wohlenberg Dep't.

He views the card and perhaps may interview the caller, in an at tempt to see If he can't be headed away. Norton personally sees every visitor who has business with the president. In addition, he Is present In the 'president's private office, dur ing a part of every Interview which the executive grants. Norton having O. K.'d the applica tion, the visitor la next taken to a sort of improvised reception hall by Doorkeeper McKenna. The corri dor is nothing more than a hall, serened off. This Is "Lame Duck Al ley." The alley contains the final few who eventually see the president McKonna lets the callers in one at a time, or in bunches. The new plan has resulted in much greater facility in the handling of call ers. The secret service men are re sponsible for the improvement. ' They are experts in "sizing up" callers.

One of the most in- tt resting conventions to be held In the coming year is the so-called "dope congress" the congress for the In ternational control of habit forming drugs, the preliminaries for which are now being arranged by the government of the Netherlands. Some years ago diplomatic negotiations between Chi na and England resulted in an agree- Unent between the two powers by wmcn England agreeu upon u gruuu- nl reduction of the quantities of opi um exported from its Asiatic posses sions into China in proportion as to the Chinese government restricted the manufacture of opium in China. The great benefits which have re sulted from this agreement have caused the enlightened progressives who now dominate the government of the celestial empire to seek a more rapid reduction of opium sale in Chi na than is provided for in the Anglo Chinese treaty. At the time of the signing of this treaty certain Influ ential citizens of the United States in terested the state department in the plight of China and from this point the agitation In this country upon the subject of a general control of habit formtng drugs has steadily Increased. Accordingly tho state department de cided to take the Initiative in propos ing a world-conference. The propo sition was agreed to by all of the powers but two of them disagreed as to the Inclusion of certain drugs in the classification of "habit forming drugs." This matter has now been settled and the final arrangement for the congress Is being undertaken by the Netherlands. It will probably con vene within the next few months. . Banks on Sure Tiling Now.

ONE IXDL1X DRINKS; ANOTHER, GOES DRY "Black Hawk," a Chippewa Indian and citizen of the United States may drink whiskey to his heart's delight. "Yellow Thunder," also, a Chippe wa brave, Is refused even a sip. Uncle Sam has made It a crime to sell "Yel low Thunder" a drink of whiskey. He is not recognized as a citizen and it Is stipulated in the several Indian treaties signed between 1850 and 1865 that no spirituous liquors shall be introduced in the Indian country until otherwise ordered by congress. The state of Minnesota has a pop ulation of 2,200,000, a comparatively small proportion of which is Indian. A troublesome and most complicated condition exists regarding the en forcement of the Indian Intercourse laws in that state. As the matter now stands national prohibition laws exist In that part of Minnesota which still is Indian country. The Indian lands cover even the city of Minneap olis with a population of nearly 300, 000, while St. Paul, across the Miss issippi river. Is outside of the Indian country and exempt from any restric tions. Considerable difficulty Is experienc ed by the agents of the department of the interior in enforcing the prohibi tion law in the portions of the dis tricts where the law may be applied. Complaints have been made to' the secretary of the interior that the en forcement of the law has not been uniform and general. It was alleged that the officers attempted discrim ination, permitting saloons to operate in one city but closing them In others. Charges were made that certain sa loons were allowed to operate in a town while the ban was placed upon others in the same place. These charges were productive of considerable ill feeling in Minneap olis, resulting In the arrest of several federal officers and much bitter con troversy. There are a large number of prohibition advocates In the state who urge a vigorous enforcement of the law. Opposed to them Is anoth er large body which resents bitterly the attempt to impose federal prohi bition on certain portions of the state. They point out that Minneapolis is fully able to handle the liquor traf fic and declare that its lnwn are bet ter and more adaptable to the purpose than are the federal laws. Further complications arise from the fact that about four-fifths of the Chippewa braves in Minnesota are cit izens and have been so for the last four years. Therefore, the federal law prohibiting the sale of liquor does not effect them. On the other hand there are numerous other Indians in the same immediate neighborhood who are prohibited from purchasing li quor. The interior department causad a rigorous investigation to be made of all these charges and now make the announcement that wherever it has been found that Improper methods have been used prosecution of the of ficers accused will roilow. The de partment also asserts that it is not responsible for the law but is strictly charged with its enforcement There are six separate treaties In volved In the Minnesota situation. In each of these It Is declared that those portions of the law of the United States prohibiting the introduction or traffic in spirits, wines, or other li quors in the Indian country should A Range ThaL Pays for Itself All the delightful satisfaction of having a perfect range Is within easy reach of everyone.

Professor William Cul len Bryant, of Moro, has been ap pointed by Acting Governor as a mem ber of the state board of normal re gents, to succeed E. E. Bragg, whose term expired June 30, 1910. Mr. Bragg Is a resident of La Grande. The new appointee will remain In office until June 30, 1916. Professor Bryant Is county school superintend ent of Sherman county and an attor ney of Moro. He Is a graduate of the Monmouth normal school and of the University of Oregon. The board of normal regents is con sidered to be one of the important boards, now that the Monmouth nor mal school is given a new lease of life. Under the Initiative measure which reinstated that school as subject to state maintenance, there will be large sums of money placed at the disposal of the board annually for the care of the school and probably for additional buildings, this being the only normal school now coming under state super vision. Prof. Bryant, the newly appointed regent, Is a republican. IMPROVEMENT OF CHILEAN WATERWAYS The Chilean government has under consideration the improvement of the Valdivia river and the port of Corral, at a cost of 13,650,000 United States gold. It is proposed to dredge the channel of the river to a depth of 23 feet as far up as the city of Valdivia and provide a harbor at Corral suffi ciently large to accommodate 20 war vessels at a time. That part of Chile is developing rapidly, both in agriculture and man ufacturing. Corral is the place where the extensive steel plant Is located, which began work in January. 1910.
