"' When the Medford chamber of
commerce .celebrated its one hun
dredth forum it was considered an
extraordinary accomplishment to
have held this number of forums in
one -hundred' consecutive weeks but
How that two hundred forums have
been hold in two hundred weeks the
members have just reason to feel
proud of the accomplishment.
Too many people being permitted to
talk and tho keeping of those present
seated for too long a tlmo are objec
Jectlons that have been made by -many
Who attend dinner functions of this
: character. Those in charge of this

ROMANCE
YES, surely there arc romance and dreams in. a box of
chocolates such a box as
; 7 Whitman's Pleasure Island,
from those storied islands of the Spanish main come the ma
tcrials, the sugar, chocolate, nuts, spices, vanilla and fruits
that are changed by the delicate processes of tho modern
candy maker into the veritable treasures of taste that go
into the Pleasure Island Package. .
There 'b a breath of romance in the pictured package with its
'suggestion of adventure, and there's a charm in the arrange
ment of the contents, in tray nnd bullion bags, just like a
pirate's chest. " j"
For a gift unusual, possessing a charm foreign to the ordi
nary "box of candy'.' we suggest' that you send, or better,
take Whitman's Pleasure Island Chocolates. ,

capltol sat back in Its chairs today,
rested itB feet on the legislative desks
and awaitedithe reaction to last night's
conference on prohibition enforcement,
attended by several hundred municipal
and state law enforcement officials
from all parts of New York state.
The conference ended, when, at the
request of Governor Smith, who pre
sided, the officials pledged themselves
to a program of cooperation with fed
eral agencies in enforcing the national
prohibition laws. 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.

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." '"

0. 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. K.
Crocker,, government engineer ' in
charge of tho work. 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.
