Umatilla county officials have been
notified from North Carolina that
the moonshiners recent captured by
Sheriff Taylor. are both men of good
repute in their native state. One is
the father of nine children and the
other of three. SO the sheriff is in-
formed. The daddy of nine was also
in tthe responsible position of post
master in bis own home town, and the
proprietor of store. lie made his
escape from the officers here and is
still at large, Presumably he is hid
ing in the brush of the tarheel state,
subsisting on corn pone ami bacon
rinds surreptitiously slipped to him by
protecting and admiring friends. The
other is in Jail and his lineage has not
been given but back home he too is
probably held in high esteem. Back
there it may be an enviable accom-.
plishment to be moonsbincr. Out
here that vocation has not been class.
flied, for we are new at the game.
Copper kettles, worms and jimmy. jugs
are vessels and implements of industry
almost wholly unknown to us. Granted
that these two rnoonsiners are consd-

That msay good man hss gone wrong.

Wheat flour is again on "J0-50'
basis beginnIDg today. 1t is said that
Oregon again went over the top in re-
spending to the turning back of flour
in the home Iarder. In Washington
state, little if any attention was paid
to the request, and it is even claimed
that Umatilla county people, after
turning back their flour to the home
grocer, went to WalIa Walla and pur-
chased more. The fact that no new
wheat has been ground into flour at
this time and the old flour has been
released on the market. indicates there
was no real necessity for Oregon going
it alone in the demand that all flour be
returned down to the last pint. The
only possible advantage that would
have reuslted was III the expected re-
turn Of flour held in excess quantities,
and this could have been better accom-
plished through the process of search
warrants.

Dough Saved the Ship.

Saved by ton Of dough" might be
the title for an account of the adven-
lures of the steamship Armenia in the
submarine zone. The vessel was struck
by a torpedo. Aboard was an armed
guard Of American seamen under the
command of Chief Boatswain's Mate
Stief HOmiak, U. S. n. The naval men
made oil preparations for placing the
passengers in lifeboats, for the ship
had q wide breach below the water
line and q second torpedo was momen-
tarily expected; but they did not in
tend to abandon their vessel until they
were sure it was going to sink. Going
below they succeeded in checking the
Inflow Of water to some extent by
patch made of a collision mat and
some pieces of canvas, but there was
still formidable leak. Thereupon the
sailors proceeded to smash open q
large number of barrels of flour which
they found in the hold and sh0veled
this material into the breach. Soon it
was filled with an enormous mass of
dough, which so effectually checked
the leak that the ship was brought into
port by her resourceful crew.
