Why Germany Hangs Desperately
to Northern France.

France will never consent to peace
that does not at least restore her north
ern districts to her for the reason that
her national industries cannot be re-
built TO their pre-war standard without
the wealth that these provinces hold.
At present Germany holds to them at a
great sacrifice of life because they con
tain the richest products of the soil
and underground stratas.
This territory, according TO Lectures
pour Tour (Paris), supplied one-fourth
of Frances wheat crops in 1912. In
1918 it furnished 81 per cent of the
sugar beets for the dstilleries and "a
per cent of the beets used for feeding
purposes.
The invaded regions gave France 80
per cent of its iron ore and SO per cent
of it's cast-iron. Half Of the iron
foundries are located in this captured
land.
OF $4,000 shops devoted 60 the weay-
ing of wool IS, 600 are held by the
Germans Ninety four per cent of the
spinning mills Of combed wool are lost;
over half of the mills spinning carded
wool are found in the occupied territory.
OF $4,000 looms whirring before the
war only 10000 are now turning.
In cotton the same story is true. OF
1875, 600 looms in France A,475, 600 are
in the Huns grasp. and of 100000
mechanics in the work 81 900 were taken.
The loss in dwelling houses, factories,
warehouses and shops has been
enormous. Thirty Weight per cent of
| French factories are in German hands;
% per cent of the total number of
| dwelling houses in France are destroy
ed. The total damage done to northern
France is estimated at 50, 225, ST. francs.
Germany has, with systematic preci-
sion, destroyed everything that she
could not use and used everything not
worth destroying. Thel coal and iron
mines have made possible the German
ofrensives.

Buys John Edwards Farm.

Report reaches this paper that a
deal has been closed this week for
the purchase of the J. H. Edwards
farm in Sand Hollow by Dan Han
shew, who will take over the farm
Immediately. The consideration was
$35, 200, or an equivalent of about
$50 per acre. Mr.. Hanshew has been
farming for number Of years in
Blackhorse but disposed of his place
there two years ago to Ed Stevens
of Portland. This property had been
involved in foreclosure proceedings
and the suit was settled this week
by the Portland parties putting up
the cash to redeem the land. This
was done on Wednesday, the last day
of grace. In disposing of his. Sand
Hollow farm Mr.. Edwards has re-
leved himself of all the property he
owned here. He has run this place
for great many years and built it
up until it was considered one of the
best farms of the Sand Hollow
section. Just what Mr.. Edwards eX-
poets to do, this paper has sot been
| informed.

The capture of this still may be
the means of breaking up the local
bootleSging to considerable extent.
1t was a good piece of work on the
part of the local officers and no
small credit is due to Ex-Sheriff
Shut for the assistance rendered in
getting the necessary evidence to
locate the still. Ii we are correctly
Informed, he did some good detective
work in this case and through his
efforts Sheriff McDutfee was enabled
to get the localios of the outfit.
Sheriff McDuffee knew that the still
was being operated and he and
Corporal Cummings of the State
Military Police made a trip out
there some ten days ago but we're
unable to find it.
II there are others interested in
this deal with Handy, and there no
doubt is, he will not peach, and so
far is keeping mum on this point.

Young Thistles Kill Stock in Cold
Springs District.

Eating young Russian thistle that
springs up green after the rains,
caused the death of twelve horses in
the Cold Springs district this week.
The animals ate the young thistles,
which are temptingly green, but the
stems are indigestable and form a
wiry mat in the stomach that re-
suits in the death of the animal.
Frank Spike was called to Cold
Springs Monday by, one of the Greek
farmers of that district Five Of his
horses had already died and by the
time Mr.. Spike arrived eight more
were down. The farmer feared that
it was some contagious disease, but
DR.. Spike soon ascertained that the
deaths were due solely to the eating
of the thistle. Farmers are warned
to keep their stock away from stub
Bile or summer fallow where the
young thistles are growing.-Echo

HERM|sT0N MAN IS
BURNED TO DEATH
Explosion of Gasoline Proves Fatal
to Prominent Orchardist.

Hermiston, Ore, Sept. 27.-Fred
Brunson, prominent orchardist living
four miles northeast of Hermiston,
was horribly burned in his garage
Friday evening and died at o'clock
Saturday morning from his injuries.
He had been driving the auto bus
which carries the children of the
heighborhood to the Hermiston
school and about o'clock that even
ing was filling the car with gas in
his garage. He was using lantern
to light the garage and it fell to the
floor. The oil and gas became
ignited and soon Brunson was en-
veloped in flames.
Mrs. Brunson and another woman
rushed to the assistance of the i'm
periled man. They extinguished the
flames about him by rolling him in
the sand. BrunsOn's clothing was
burned off him. The women also
put out the fire which threatened
the garage and car. Medical help
was then secured for the injured
man and he was cared for in the
best manner possible. However he
was SO badly injured that he failed
to live through the night.
MIR. Brunson came from Fort
Wayne. Ind, seven or eight years
ago and has been managing a 80
acre orchard. He was 33 years of
age and is survived by child OF
seven years as we'll as by his wife.
The lead man was prominent in
Masonic circles. His tragic death
greatly shocked the community and
there is general sorrow over the
affair.-East Oregonian.

JOE HANDY, MAKER Of NDONsR|NE NH|s-
KEY, NOW IN THE GRIP Of THE LAW

ledge Mrs. Handy may haze of his
operations is not revealed but ac-
cording to the story related she
supposed that he was cutting wood
some little distance away as she
could hear someone chopping wood
every day in that direction 1t was
supposed also that there were a
couple of lookouts, one ON either
side of the ravine where the still
was located, to give warning of the
approach of officers Handy was
also supposed to be armed at all
Iimes and ready to give invaders of
his domain a warm reception.
The officers were able TO tell, in
the darkness, of their near approach
to the still, by the smell OF sour
grain. A large number OF empty
corn meal sacks were seottered
about and large quantity of the
meal had been passed through the
distilling process was dumped near,
indicating that the work bad been
going on for considerable time, as
well as proving the excessive waste
of valuable war food.
The officers brought in the Whiskey
making outfit, consisting of a 80
gallon copper kettle TINT had been
properly encased in stone oven, the
gooseneck and coil, and these
articles have been the objects of
much attention at the court house
during the week. Besides these
there were six big wooden rats used
for primary work, and these were
there was of the illicit still was
totally destroyed by the officers.
Along with the outfit there was also
taken 21 gallons of Liquor Noun
tain Dew"-and of this the officers
retained six gallons as evidence and
the balance was dumped into the
creek for the benefit OF The fishes.
The liquor is pronounced by those
who know as being genuine stuff, and
it certainly contains plenty of alcohol
to preserve it throughout the ages
and to thoroughly pickle any stomach
that it might come in contact with.
For many months there has been
plenty of evidence in Heppner that
someone was producing maoDshine
not far away. AS stated above the
officers were suspicious that Handy
was furnishing the liquor which he
was secretly manufacturing. handing
it out to those who took the re
sponsibility of disposing of it. 1t
developed that he was getting 500
per gallon for the stuff and in turn
it was being retailed by the boot
leggers at SIS per quart, so il can be
seen that money making business
was going on. The capacity Of the
still was some 16 gallons per day.
Handy was in trouble before the
court last fall for bootlegging, and
he had been warned that he might
get into worse trouble with the
Federal authorities, yet he persisted
in the unlawful business. He will
now have to appear before the
Federal court in Portland, where he
will be taken this week. We under
stand he has retained Sam Van
Vactor as his attorney.

Charged With Making Seditious
Remarks.

Louis Marquart, young man
residing near Lexington, was arrest
ed by the Military Police and
brought to Heppner one day last
week on charge of making Sc
ditious remarks. He was placed in
jail here and his case reported to the
United States District Attorney at
Portland. Relatives of the young
man offered to put up bail for his
release from Jail but the Portland
officials instructions were to hold
him." He will doubtless have to
appear before the U. S. grand jury
now in session at Portland and there
make explanation of his disloyal
talk.

At least one Morrow county moon
sinner has been brought into the tolls
of the law, together with all of his
paraphernalia.
Joe Handy of Reppner was ar
rested last Monday morning at his
place of business in the mountains
some "a miles southeast of Heppner,
Just as he was in the act of placing
fire under the still of his moon
shine outfit, and if there ever was a
man taken completely by surprise,
Mr.. Handy was that fellow
The incidents leading up to this
capture are quite interesting in
detail Handy was operating in
what he felt was absolute security,
although he had but recently been
informed by friend of his that the
officers were on his trail and he
might expect trouble at any moment,
yet he states that he was not looking
for his place to be discovered as it
was SO well camouflaged in the
thick brush of deep ravine of the
mountain fastness.
However, the officers had, by per-
,istent work, been enabled to get a
pretty close diagram of the sur
roundings from party who had one
day accidently stumbled onto the
outfit, so they decided to go out on
Sunday evening and make an in
vestigation.
Sheriff McDuffee and Ex Sheriff
Shut were taken into the vicinity of
the still late Sunday evening by
County Agriculturist Brown. The
place where the still was located
could be reached no nearer than a
mile by auto, though teams were able
to get within half-mile of it, The
officers were left by Mr.. Brown who
had to return to town, so they
wended their way as best they could
toward the spot where the outfit
was supposed to be. 1t was a pretty
tough undertaking, getting through
the underbrush but they finally
reached point somewhere near the
still and not very far from the trail
leading to it, and sit it out in the
chill night air for the balance of the
night. They expected to find Handy
operating night shift, but it seems
that he had finished up his week s
brew and was not doinS anything on
Sunday night. Quite early Monday
morning, however, he put in an ap-
pearance, coming down to the still
alone, so the officers abided their
time and when he got busy lighting
the fire, he was confronted with a
command to- hold up his hands. 1t
was necessary to repeat the demand
quite forcibly before Handy complied
as he was apparently so taken by
surprise that he failed to realize he
was facing a couple of guns in the
hands of determined officials. When
the full force of the situation dawned
on him, his hands went up In a hurry
and he made no attempt at resist
ance Upon being searched it was
found that Handy was unarmed.
Handy had been operating the
still from camp occupied by he and
his wife about a mile distant In
another ravine. Just what know.
