will be 725 feet from the bottom of the
foundation to the top and $50 feet above
the present water level of the Colorado

since he regarded the situation he was
discussing as one with which every
ore in Washington ought to be familiar.
He emphasized, however, that he had
intended to cast no personal reflection
on any Government official.
The whole purpose of his remarks in
the Senate. he said, was to call atten-
ton that prohibition could be enforced
more easily here than elsewhere, since
the city is governed by Congress and
the laws enforced by the President,
the District officials being responsible to
the will of the Chief Executive.
Commissioner Doran said that pro-
hibition agents here were doing as good
work as in any place in the country.
In referring to testimony he gave be-
fore the Gibson subcommittee of the
House District committee in January
when the committee investigated Dis
trict affairs, DR.. Doran pointed out that
cooperation between the police and
Federal enforcement agencies is not at
fault.
One of the chief arguments advanced
for an enforcement law for the District
was that such law would clothe every
policeman with authority to make ar
rests for violations, whereas under
existing practice only SO policemen
have this authority, two in each
precinct, and the members nf two
special dry squads"
Not only would such law lengthen
the enforcement arm, Doran said, so
far as arrests are concerned, but it
should provide that search warrants
might be issued from the office OF cor
poration counsel instead Of restricted to
the approval of United States commits

administrator, whose good faith and
capacity. the White House statement
said. were impugned by Senator How
ellis statement. sis doing. first rate"
Commissioner Doran asserted.
The proposal of a separate enforce
ment law for the District was made by
DR.. Doran before Mr.. Hoover became
President, but 1t is understood that the
latter was responsible for Commission
er Doran's testimony before the Gibson
committee and other data the latter
had on the subject being sent to the
Law Enforcement Commission to study.
President Hoover is understood not
to have formed any definite conclusions.
He is not likely to do so either until
he has received the recommendation
of the National Commission on Law
Observance, which he appointed last
Spring, to study the whole subject OF
law enforcement in this country.
It Is known that the question OF a
special enforcement law for the Dis
trict of Columbia has been referred to
that commission to study and to re-
port upon.
Senator Howell emphasized the ques-
ton of importation of liquor for en-

said, to submit a statement showing

You, my son.
Have shown me God.
Your kiss upon my cheek
Has made me feel the gentle touch
OF him who leads us on.
The memory Of your smile, when
young
Reveals His face,
AS mellowing years come on apace.
And when you went before.
You left the gates of Heaven ajar
That I might glimpse,
Approaching from afar.
The glories of His grace.
Hold, son. my hand,
Guide me along the path,
That. coming.
I may stumble not.
Nor roam.
Nor fail to show the way
Which leads us home.

PHONE EXCHANGE
AT MOOSE LAKE is
IN MODERN HOME

The Northwestern Bell Telephone
Company which owns and maintains
the local exchange in Moose Lake, is
now finishing up the building of an
office and residence for its chief oper-
ator and assistants in that village
The office was moved into about three
weeks ago, but the balance of the
building is not yet entirely completed
although the sleeping quarters are
also being occupied
The building, made in bungalow
style with five rooms and complete
basement, is erected at a cost of ap-
proximately $500 1t is the second
building of its kind the company has
erected in the state. The switchboard
and office occupy the front room, and
then there is pretty parlOr, bedroom,
kitchen, and bathroom, all modern and
prettily finished. In the basement is
furnace, also the batteries and auto
matte ringing machine, thus eliminat-
ing noise upstairs. The cables leading
to the switchboard are underground.
The building will be stucco finished
outside.
Pay stations for the public are pro-
vided in hotels and restaurants. In
Moose Lake there are three pay sta
tions besides the central office. A.
K. Anderson, local manager for the
Northwestern Bell Telephone company
at Sandstone and who has the ex-
chanppS af Moose Lake and Rarnum
under his supervision, told an Amer
lean reporter that the company is
working with that in view to provide
living quarters for their operators.
AT Sandstone they rent a residence
where they have the central. With
pay stations on the business street it
is not necessary that the central Of
flee be located amongst the business
houses. Miss Helen McMonagle is the
chief operator and agent at Moose
Lake. She has three assistants.
