Government Takes Hand to
Halt Making of Beer
on Kitchen Range

Home brew must go. No longer can
beer for private consumption be man
ufactured on the kitchen range, for
the eyes of Uncle Sam are on the
brewer, and he will be prosecuted if
he is found making beer at home.
The campaign against manufacture
of home brew is undertaken by the fed
eral internal revenue bureau in fur
therance of enforcement of prohibition
throughout the country.
Not only will the home brewer suf-
fer if he is caught making beer, but
the department also viii prosecute per
sons who sell or advertise for sale
malt extract, hops, isinglass or other
intended for manufacture
of beer 1t is said that sale of malt
and hops may be restricted to bak-
ers and cOnfectiOners.

REAL TASTE AND KICK

Ever since the dry era began, it is
said, home brew has been freely manu-
featured for domestic consumption and,
it is claimed the amber fluid not
only has the taste of genuine beer, but
possess the kick as well.
Dealers in ingredients and recipes
for home brew are said TO have made
fortunes by their sale. Newspapers
frequently have carried advertisements
for such dealers.

ILLINOIS MAN
BUYS GENUINE
GOLD BRICK
Lays Details of Transaction
Before Officers Here, but
Is Minus Cash He Advanced
Puts UP Funds to Purchase
Machinery Needed to Elk
tract Metal from Ground

Buying for $4,000 two Buffalo Hump
mining claims, which probably do not
exist, is the experience of @. l.. Hills,
of Bloomington, ILL.,, who was in
Grangeyiile recently to Investigate the
property he had purchased, and who
finally laid details of the trans
action before local officials Hills de-
parted early this week for his home in
Illinois, minus the $5000 but it is
declared, much richer in experience for
the "gold brick' transaction.
Hills, who is reputed to be wealthy,
was approached in his home town of
Bloomington, it is said by a stranger,
purporting to be engaged in the min
ing business in the Robbins district
Of Buffalo Hump in Idaho county.
The stranger declared he was owner of
a new bonanza in central Idaho and,
it is claimed. gold ore was literally
protruding from the ground.
MUST HAVE MACHINERY
The only difficulty that lay between
the owner Of the claims and wealth.
the story goes, was installation of
costly mining machinery. The strang-
er had no money with which to purchase
the machinery but, putting his newly
formed acquaintance Fwise,' offered
TO let him in on the deal, if he would
advance $4,000 toward the cost of the
machinery. He would sell Hills two
of the claims for $4,000, the stranger
would 90 to Chicago, buy the machin-
cry, and the two would come to Ida
no and start operations ON the claims.
BUYS RAILWAY TICKETS
The stranger said he would meet
Hills in Chicago on stated date,
he would buy railroad tickets for the
two and they would leave for
Grangeville. This was early in Noyem-
Der
After collecting the $4,000. the mine
promoter went from Bloomington to
Chicago, while Hills eager TO see the
new bonanza, arranged TO meet his
newly-acquired partner.
Hills appeared at Chicago at the
specified time, and inquiry at the
railroad ticket office to which he had
been directed to apply, revealed that
the promoter had purchased there two
tickets for GrangevilIe, and he'd left
them for Hills, together with note,
saying he could not purchase the de
sired machinery in Chicago, but had
gone to Milwaukee, where he hoped
TO find the machinery he needed He
further said he would meet Hills in st.
Paul.

NOR NM sT. PAUL

Hills boarded the train for st. Paul,
but when he arrived in that city his
partner was not to be found. Hills
then continued the journey to Grange
vile and arrived here last Thursday
night
He conferred with local mining men,
and then went to the office of the
county recorder. Diligent search of
the mining records of the county fail
ed to disclose any such claims as
Hills had purchased, and it is believed
that, instead of buying even worth
less T'hole in the ground" as mine,
he bought a genuine "gold brick"

NORTH MORROW PEOPLE
ARE AFTER MARKET ROAD

At the call of the chairman Of the
Morrow County Farm Bureau, dele
gates and interested farmers from
six communities met at the Alpine
school house on Thursday afternoon,
to discuss the advisability of the CO.
operation in the developing of road
program for the north end of the

County Agricultural Agent and after
listening to discussion Of the posi-
bilities and the plans more or less
feasible for this development, by DR..
J. P. Condor Of Heppner, several far
mers expressed their views Of the
matter and it twas finally dcided that
the Lexington-J -Jarmon road, since it's
location was more or less indefinite,
and since bond money and county
money had already been voted upon
this, 1t seemed to be the sense Of the
meeting as expressed quite generally
that this be entirely eliminated from
tho discussion of the meeting. The
discussion then centered around the
location Of the road from Lexington
to the Columbia river. After COnsid
erabe discussion and more or less
amendments, the following resolu-
ton was introduced by DR.. Condor.
seconded by Mr.. BOardman and final
ly carried unanimously:
BE IT RESOLVED, that 1t Is the
sentiment Of this meeting that an or
ganization be perfected and delegates
herein chosen to promote the build
ing of a highway beginning at some
point between Irrigon and Boardman
on the Columbia river and extending
in southerly direction into Heppner
via Lexington by the most practical
route and that It is the sense Of this
meeting that the market road money
for 1921 be expended upon this road
and that the committee hereby ap-
pointed use their best endeavor to Sc
cure the carrying out 70 the wishes
of this meeting.
After some discussion II was decid-
ed that representatives should be ap-
pointed by the chairman of hemeet-
ing to represent the district Of Lex

Per Cent of Stock.

Stock in Morrow county's new
S25, 200 fair association is now being

ton got down to business last Satur-

2ens from various parts of the county
present. Al Henriksen of Cecil serv-
ed as temporary chairman.
The temporary directors have pre-
pared budget calling for the amount
of stock to be sold in each district.
II has been agreed that Heppner will
subscribe to $l2,5 of the total am
cunt, the balance to be distributed
throughout the county. In accordance
with previous plans, it has been de-
cided to sell the stock for one-half
CASH anu Ult-ldll at PNi
cent due November l, 1920.
Several farmers and busiess men
have signed the option to buy the
Wightman tract below Heppner with
in 90 days, and as this time is rapid
ly passing, it is imperative, say the
directors. that all solicitors have their
quotas completed by the first Of April.
II has been arranged for the soli-
citors to place the funds secured in
their nearest local bank, to the credit
of NJ. D. Clark, temporary chairman
of the Morrow County Fair Associa-

Gently chosen, are given full charge

localities. Liberty bonds will be ac-
cepted at their face value in payment
for stock
Under the present plan, Morrow
county will see practically the same
horses on the track that appear at
Salem and great deal Of the same
stock show. The local organization
has applied for membership in the
North Pacific Fair Association, which
in no May interferes with local exhi-
bitors, yet at the same time will bring
here the same horses making the fair
circuit. 1t is planned that the purse
offered for the races will be borne by
the entries so that the race meet will
not be a financial drain upon the as
sociation. II is also pointed out that
in view of the fact that live local
band Is now available, it will not be
necessary to send money outside for
music and that il the Fair is made a
live one, there will be no need Of ex-
pending money on airships or like at
fractions.
