But the chorus of ayes which brought the meeting to a close was very weak, so noticeably so that the governor, bringing his gavelJ down to signal adjournment remarked "not so loud ! ' and laughed.

U.S. ;I L In his address the govornor said "There soems to be an opinion in tho minds of somo pf our .officials that there is no obligation upon the various law enforcement agencies of the-Btate to enforce the so-called Volstead act. Let me here and now rolleve them of that opinion because they have come by it In error. Every peace officer of the state is in duty bound under his oath to enforce the Volstead act and this irrespecive of what may be the public opinion of any locality as to the wisdom or otherwise of such act. "The so-called Volstead act making operative the eighteenth amendment Is just as sacred as any other law In the country." '" IN ATTEMPT TO IIONO KONG, Fob. 22. (l)y Asso ciated Press).

S. SECY. LABOR CHICACO, Feb. 22. An Indict ment of poor farms nnd orphan asy lums in all parts of tho country as characterized by conditions "revolting and a. sen tutu 1 tn the nation," was de livered by Secretary of Iabor Davis in an address hero today. Mo said that a survey being conducted by tho de partment of labor disclosed American county charitable institutions that are "a century behind the times," "monu ments of waRto,", and places of "filth, cruelty,- inhumanity and horror." Children nre born in such Institutions, ho said, "to a heritage of misery." "Hugo sums are wasted annually in conducting 100 pom farms for 100 counties in one state," ho said. "Con centration in tho care of tho aged, orphans and indigent, would bring happiness to these unfortunates. The present nrchaic system is as bud as the workhouses exposed by Charles Dickens in England years ago or worse. Unspeakable suffering has boon disclosed. An overseer perform ing an operation for gangrene with a hacksaw is ono of the horrors thus far revealed." : , The secretary said that at the con clusion of his torm in the cabinet he would devote the remainder of his llfo to fraternal work. . TKNDLETON, Ore., Feb. 22. Actual field work In connection with determining the suitability of the rock formation of the Columbia river as a baso for a dam at Umatilla rap ids, three miles above Umntllla has terminated, according to M.

Tho survey which wns conducted by tho reclamation service and which was authorized ly on not of congress, drilled in 21 places across the river channot n'. iCie rapids and In one placo wont down to a depth of 192 foet. ' While the government men had nothing to say as to the desirability of tho place for the dam site In con nection with the proposed Umntllla rapids project local men who are fa miliar with tho work nnd who nave been following tho progress of the survey state that nothing Unfavorable was found by tho diamond anus in their descent into tho river bed and that the river bod at that point would form an excellent foundation for tho fifty-foot dam nocessary to tho pro posed project which would irrigate a total of 270,000 noros and develop n total of 800,000 horsepower. Before tho reclamation survey is actually completed about two months of office work Is necessary In connec tion with the findings of tho field operations. TIiIh work will bo dono either at Hermlston dr -Donvcr, ac cording to Mr. Crocker. 1 Farm Pointers Tho hot bed In wostei n Oregon is made and seeds for oarly transplant ing planted by tho middle of .

When tho hot bed Is finished, It is covered with the swl nnd tho temperaturo allowed to rise. Tho seeds can bo planted as soon as the hot bed Is warm. Tho heat Is due to the fermentation of tho manure. Fresh manuro Is supplied each sea son. '"uwMri The seeds nro planted In rows threo Inches apart and 4-6 soods to tho Inch. When the plants become crowded In the rows they can bo thinned and thoso that are romovod transplanted to another part of the bed., Tho most Important soods to-plnnt now In west ern Oregon aro tomatoes, early cab-' bngo, head! lettuce cauliflower and poppers. 1 .
