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.' "
Mitchell gave Sheriff Sam Star
mre and District George Neuner
credit for cleaning up Heedsport.
Kelatlve to the attempt to bribe

the federal men were instructed
from Washington to take bribe

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Presl

earliest possible date" the meas

The report recommends creation
of a federal board to encourage
cooperative marketing; greater as

under the tariff law for farm pro

pieces of legislation related to ag
riculture.
"I am advised that while it (the

i already pending, that the confer

"As I have great confidence In
the personnel of the conference,
land know that they have given
very thoughtful study to the en

I their report be administered in
suitable legislation at file earliest

briefest ever sent to congress by

VOTE ON HIGH
SCHOOL SITE
School Board Calls for
Election to Be Held on"
Saturday, Feb. 7.
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:
