infuriated by the message, was said
to have challenged the father to

the town's principal street yester

For hours a north wind which

Shortly after noon the north

Dr. James M. Doran, Washington,
D. C, federal prohibition adminis

prohibition commissioner for the
Pacific .northwest fand William M.
I Whitney, legal adviser. . both of
Seattle. They met Major McKeyn
olds here today.
"The situation in the Pacific
northwest," Dr. Doran aald, "Is
good. This Is largely due to the
fact that the western stales, ex
cepting Nevada and Montana, have
stringent -slate prohibition laws
which serve lo merge the drive on
liipior.
"Smuggling Is at a minimum on
the Pacific coast,' he continued,
"and the courts are working speed
ily and effectively, which Is one
of the best forces available for aid
ing the enforcement of the prohi
bition law."
The administrator declared that
"prohibition Is making stemly pro
gress all over the United Slates."
Queried as to the effect the
series of newspaper nrtlclcs writ

enforcement, was having upon the
