There has been a cross-fire all the time, according to Taylor. Frank B. Mitchell, legal adviser for the federal prohibition office, was questioned closely about co operation between his department and the state department He said there was no co-operation between the two departments. Mitchell said the federal depart ment bad Instructions from Wash ington to the effect that enforce ment of the prohibition law requlr- ei that the department gives Its attention to being cases, such as smuggling and moonshining. "We were instructed not to waste our time on the bootleggers," he said. "When wet get a moonshiner we cut off the supply from probably a dozen bootleggers ln Portland." Mitchell described what he termed a "very unhappy confer ence" that took place in the gov ernor's office between himself, Dr. Linville and the governor follow ing instructions from Washing ton to confer with the governor. "In the course of our conversa tion' said Mitchell, "Governor Pierce slammed his fist on the table and declared 'I'll teach these sheriffs to enforce the law. 'Ill make them toe the mark.'

VOTERS TO CHOOSE Expression From Residents of District on Location of New School Build , ing Is Desired. A special advisory election has been calleVby the school board for Saturday, February 7, for the pur pose of giving the voters of the school district an opportunity to de finitely express themselves regard ing the locations for the new high school building. The school board at Its meeting last night decided that the site should be left to the voters, and consequently Is sub mitting the two proposed locations and will ask for an opinion. The site proposition has resulted In a wide divergence of opinion. Al though two sites have been, defin itely proposed and the selection will be made between the two lo cations. The school board at first appoint ed a committee of forty-five to se lect the site. This committee Inves tigated more than a score of pos sibilities and finally centered their findings to two places. One Is the Bellows tract In West Roseburg and the other the central site, which would provide a second unit to the existing high school building. If the Bellows tract is obtained, approximately twelve acres of land can be secured giving room for a large campus and athletic field, the financial outlay being about the same as that required to purchase the necessary property for building the second unit to the high school building. Consequently the entire matter simmers down to a matter of personal opinion between the two locations. The site committee was unable to decide, although the vote stood 2t to 13 In favor of the West Rose burg grounds. But as a vote of 30 was necessary to decide the com mittee quit Its work without mak ing a decision. The school board thought that In view of the great division or senti ment that the final settlement should be placed ln the hands of the voters, and consequently they, have called ror a special election when an expression or the senti ment ot the people will be obtain ed. The election will be held between the hours of 2 and 7 p. ra. In the high school building, and any per son entitled to vote for school direc tor will be eligible to vote. This means that any qualified voter will be able to give his or her opinion on the lsue. The question on the ballot will be stated as follows: "Shall the new High School (Continued on page 2.) are set LAST NIGHT AT E; 'test that established four world marks and clipped seven and three fifths seconds off the Indoor rec iinl for the Mil distance that Rlt- . ola established.
