Gratitude will mingle with glad ness and for the first time since the news 'came from Washington last May, the real appreciation of the Koseburg people for the gift of a Kederal building will be shown in the public demonstration at the building site next Monday. At 2 p. m., with all the schools dismissed, and practically every child and citizen of the city in at tendance, the corner stone of the building, now nearly one-third com pleted, will be fixed in place to re main a monument of local effort and perseverance as long as the structure shall last, it is one of the best of the more elaborate Government buildings to be constructed and should it remain undisturbed will doubtless be as substantial a century hence as it is today. It is on account of this enduring character and excellence of the workmanship, under Contractor Carl Stebhinger, that the $X,ihhi structure is to be so profusely hon ored on the occasion of next Mon day's ceremony. For years local citizens worked ceaselessly to bring the appropriation before the atten tion of Congress, and when the task was eventually accomplished, only alter unprecedented activity on the part of certain local people, it is bm natural that enthusiasm should mark j the first opportunity for an expres sion of gratitude. Without doubt the persons most responsible for the securing of th building are J. V. Perkins, owner of the Perkins- building, and Hon. Itinger Nermann. The former sto: pod at no expense or trouble and .companies of the Coast Artillery at the latter used every influence In i .and, it Is seen that the Third Com hls power with men at Washington, j pany of Eugene drops to second the Inclusion of the local building on, place in the contest for the banker:!' the hill before Congress In 191:!, in-1 trophy and Lieutenant L.

Only on the very last day was this finally done. A campaign the like of which had probably never before been equalled then followed to secure the immedi ate adoption of the plans and specifi cations. Hundreds of letters attract ing attention of bodies and men nil over the country were hastily dis patched and the rescult was success ful. The contract was let last May, without doubt several years in ad vanco of the usual program. An other departure was then taken up in which the men here were again successful. This was the demand for white brick in place of the gloomy) o red material used generally. The j ."ilr-ir'Sd'HORNBROOK FIRMS TO started and well along in the course or construction in record time.

Dial riot Attorney Cloorge Nouner, of Douglas County, will ex ert every effort lo enforce the state prohibition amendment which was adopted by the voters of Oregon at the last general election, was the statement made by the prosecuting officer this morning. Asked regarding his attitude to ward the "bone dry" law, and what action would be taken by his office in the event (iovornur Wothycombe Issued a proclamation declaring the miendmeut In effect following the completion of the official canvass of the vote by the Secretary of State, IHslrlet Attorney Nouner said: "It is my opinion that the Gover nor should delay Issuing his procla mation declaring the "bone dry" amendment in effect, providing he has this authority, until the Legisla ture has an opportunity to adopt such legislation as will be necessary lo bring about its enforcement. In ibis regard, I heartily concur with the recent opinion rendered by At torney (icncral George M. lirown. In refusing to Issue a proclamation prior to the meeting of the Legisla ture, the Governor would hold the presonl liquor law Intact and there by provide means whereby alleged violators can be brought to Justice. "Should tho governor Issue a proc lamation declaring the "bone dry" amendment in effect following com pletion of the official canvass or the vole by-, the Secretary- of' irftate, the prcstil prohibition law will be re pealed and there will be no penalty in vogue whereby violators of tho liquor laws can be handled. In such event, it will he the policy of my office to notiry all carriers to refrain from receiving or delivering liquor within the boundaries of Douglas County. Should they refuse to obey my orders, every shipment of liquor will be confiscated and placed uuuor guard of the proper officers. I will i hen apply to the courts for an order authorizing I ho destruction of the liquor In common with the present practice oT the prosecuting officers-. "Although I have not investigated the questions involved as thoroughly as desired, I believe I will be Justi fied In taking this action for the'rea soit that, the dry amendment pro hibits (lie importation of liquor into Oregon for beverage purposes. Whilo if is true that the 'bone dry' amendment carries no penalty, I be lieve the Importation of liquor into this slate would he unlawful, and the officers would be Justified in confiscating the shipments ns fast as l boy won? received." Mocause of the danger of lifting the present ban on liquor shipments, as provided by the prohibition law now in force In Oregon, District At torney Nouner hopes that Governor Wlthycombn will postpone issuing bis proclamation until such time ns llm Legislature can meet and pro vide a law which will insure enforce ment of tho amendment. The Legis lature Ih Hchod tiled to convene on Jouuary 5, and it is believed one of I (he first acts of the body will be that of considering a reasonable and Just prohibition law. This law will pro vide a penalty and will place the proHecuiing officers in a position to handle the violators. I'LKASKD WI TH KONLIU lt;. Mr. and Mrs. C. M.
