BOOtlegger Taken
From Train l6

Special Liquor Agent R. C. Porter
and assistant, John b. Winner, of
Ashland, met train 16 last night with
a search warrant and located a guam
tity of whiskey which was being
transported from California to Port
land, and promptly placed one
George Hill, who claimed his resi-
dence as Portland, under arrest for
unlawful possession of intoxicating
liquors,
At a trial before L. ]. Trefren,
justice of the peace for Ashland dis
trict, this morning, Hill pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to pay a
fine of $3.50 and serve 80 days in
the county jail. Failing to pay his
fine, he was promptly committed to
the jail at Jacksonville.
Upon search of Hills baggage, con-
sisting of suitcase and roll, re-
sembling roll of bedding. there was
found 2S quarts of whiskey which
Hill claimed he was to receive $3.50
per quart for in Portland, and that
this is his first attempt, but informa-
tion is in the hands of the officers
that he has made several trips of
late.

Start Work on
Billings Hill

Work on the Pacific Highway al
Billings hill, so long delayed, has al
last started. All the outstanding diff
ficulties in the matter seem to have
been settled, as G. F. Billings relin-
quished his part in the matter some
time ago, and Friday the county
court deposited a check for the coun-
tvs amount of the work, 3,450, and
attended to other necessary details.
Under the agreement the county is to
pay half Of the expense of the grade
crossing and the Southern Pacific the
other half.
The company's assistant engineer
arrived in the city Monday to start
the work, Mayor Lamkin and City
Engineer F. H. Walker were soon
with him and the big undertaking was
at last started. The cOmpany's pile
driver and other necessary materials
have already arrived in the local
yards.
The first work was preparing the
piles in order that the trestlework
can be sustained while the work of
excavating so large quantity of dirt
can proceed.
As soon as the excavation work has
been completed the state will start on
the construction of the new highway,
which sweeps to the east of the pres
ent road and, skirting the hill, joins
the present Pacific Highway Just
across the Southern Pacific right of
way. The dirt from the railroad ex-
cavation will be used for the fill of
the new portion of the road.
Probably little of the road work
can be done this fall, but early in the
summer of 1918 the Ashland hill will
be thing of the past and the Pacific
Highway will run without break
from Central Point to Ashland.

Davis Resigns
Job on Highway

There has been considerable dis
satisfaction among the minor officials
in charge of the road-building and
improvement work in the Siskiyou di-
vision of the Pacific Highway of late,
as a result of which the state super
vising foreman Of the division and
several others have resigned their po-
sitions, State Highway Commission
er Num- has been called to the scene
of the trouble to endeavor to adjust
the trouble and restore harmony.
Mr.. Davis, who has been the fore
man ever since the highway work was
begun, will remain in the valley until
he hears from Mr. Num-.
It is understood that there has
been friction ever since the California
contractor who has the contract for
grading the highway, began work and
that Davis and others declare it is an
impossibility to work in harmony or
get along with the superintendent of
this contractor.

Two Escape Death
BY Narrow Margin

Two men barely escaped with their
lives yesterday when a five-ton sepa-
rator belonging to the Grant Davis
threshing outfit tipped over and al
most fell upon them.
The accident occurred on county
road near the Oak street bridge. over
Bear creek. The outfit was moving
to new location, and as the gas
tractor was undergoing minor re-
pairs six-horse team was hitched to
the tractor. The team pulled the
tractor little too fast while on a
sloping stretch in the road. A rear
wheel of the tractor ran over a big
rock ,'the jar of which broke the rear
axle of the machine and caused it to
tip over down the hill.
The two men, ]. McCasner Of Tai
ent and James Renwick, a farmer of
this district, were walking beside the
tractor on the lower side of the road
when the accident occurred. They
could not run out to the side to avoid
the falling separator because of a
wire fence which was but few feet
away, so both made a lunge to get
behind the machine. With unusual
speed they reached the opening Just
as the separator crashed into the
fence.
The threshing outfit and the sep
arator is a late Case model, made al
most entirely from iron and steel, so
that the machine was not damaged
as much as it would have been had
it been made of wood, as the old pat
terms are. The damage is estimated
at 500. New parts were ordered
from Portland by wire last night and
are expected to arrive here today or
tomorrow, so that the work will not
be delayed long.
The outfit have been threshing in
this part of the valley for the past
twenty-five days and have about ten
days or two weeks more to work to
do.

Ever since the arrival of the boys
at Fort Stevens, Dame Rumor has
been wagging her tongue in very

.Rumor after rumor, originating from
untraceable sources, have created
Jurors in the camps and have often
times reached the officers and involv-

: "The main item of rumor is the
departure of the coast artillery for
other coast defense station or for
the European battlefields. Rumor has
sent the soldiers around the world
a couple of times and back again
but nothing authentic has been given
out. Whether or not the coast artil-
lery troops will ever be moved from
the coast defenses of the Columbia
