After a long period of business depression the tide is turning and the good times now prevalent in the East are rapidly reaching the Pacific Coast Price of lumber (the backbone of our industries) is getting higher. Practically all lines of business are improving; the banks are filled to overflowing with money; the depositors, now that confidence is being restored, are anxious to invest their money. January 1st, 1916, is the beginning of not only a new year but of a new era of great prosperity. With these conditions ahead of us, we are expanding, and the big Cambridge Block is being rapidly remodeled and changed into the Woolen Mill Building, which is to house our combined stores, and where our big Clothing Factory (giving employment to several hundred people) is to be located. Do your buying during the Clearance and Removal sale in either of these two stores and you will get the best bargains of , the season. . , .

It la to be remembered that th con stitutional amendment prohibited tb manufacture or aale within tb slat of Inlovlrattna liquors except la cer tain case. Undoubtedly the controlling factor wblcb led to the paesase of th.a amendment on November 1. 1)11. by a majority of I.I9 of th retflrtered voters of tbts state, was to rid tho community of tbo saloon, an Institu tion regarded by many a a aerloua menac to th welfare of th state. Tb art of the Laalalatur wa evi dently baaed Upon thl conception of th constitutional amendment- Aa ex ecutive officer of th state It la our aworn duty lo enforce the law. Much baa already been said with reference to tha limit to which an ex ecutive officer ntlcht ao In certain ra.ee.

Something has been said about tnel difficulty and discouragement that; wlil encompass tha prosecutor In the i enforcement of this new act: but If It! be safe to form an opinion baaed upon . public eapresaion. I can say without fear of contradiction that there Is al-j most a unanimous sentiment In favor , of upholding this statute now that it j ha become the law of the land. - A 1 citizen msy b opposed to prohibition, but nevertheless he is an ardent be liever In supporting the law of his country. Lltlmately the public conscience Is the final determining factor In th en forcement of a penal statute and that will be especially true of tbla law. No man would refuse to glv a policeman Information concerning: a burglary: every one would turn a purae-anatche? over la the prosecuting authorities: it Is equally the duty of every good cltl xen to assist the of finals In th en forcement of this new legislation by giving such officials any information which h may have relating; to Infrac tions of this statute. If It be a good law. let no enforce It rigidly that we may enjoy tha bene fits thereof. If It b a bad law. let us likewise enforce It rigidly that Ita defects msy become apparent, to th end that they may ba remedied by proper legislation. Th altitude of the Sheriff, tha Con stable and th police of thl city Indi cate a sincere desire to render every assistance possible In our efforts to administer this statute. I bespeak the same encouragement from tbo public, and with thla aid tha law can and will b enforced. It may require a little time to obtain Interpretations by the courts of doubtful phrases of the law. but after a short time many matters that now aeem obscure will bave been mad plain and the community will have adjusted Itself to tbe new condi tions. finally let mo say that the eyea or th (state of Oregon are on Multnomah County, and tbe auccesa or failure of thia new measur will be largely de termined by th attitude and conduct of the of flclals and cltlxens of this coun ty, and let me therefore hope In con clusion, that each and everyone of us may measure up to the full standard of duty Imposed upon us, whether cltl sen or official.
