Hooch Hounds
Crack Jail to
Get Markings

You may lock up the bootleggei
and moonshiner and his goods. but
they'll get their liquor still.
This is what local authorities
said as they scratched their heads
one morning when they arose and
saw by the light of the rising sun
that someone had broken into the
jail during the night or early morn
ing and removed a quantity OF
white mule together with five
stills. This had been held as evil
denee against a band of bootleg
gers.
The liquor and the stills were
secluded in such a place and were
under such strong locks that
the thought of outsiders stealing
the evidence never once entered
the minds of the authorities. Per
picking. isn't it, they say, for this
is what they had to do.
The liquor and stills were stored
in one OF the cells which was se-
cured with Yale lock. A log
chain was placed through the bars
OF the door and cell and clamped
fast to the lock. On the outside
OF the jail was the burglar proof
lock, which the city council had
passed upon as one that would

within or without.

Again Works
Here. Gets SO

Palmer Beck, 653 North High
street, in company with Miss
Thelma Owens of this city, turned
questioningly when he felt solid
object placed neatly against his
backbone last night. The object
proved to be of blue steel, was of
heavy calibre, and was in the right
hand of a man whose face was
masked with a black handker-
chief. The masked man collected
$4 from Mr.. Beck and 50 from
Miss Owens.
Following the preliminary jab
with the revolver the holdup man
requested that Beck and Miss
Owens step from under the glare
of a street light to a darker sector
nearby, where a search might be
made. The couple complied.
Beck told the police that the
robber, whose description tallies
with that of a man described in
previous holdups here, followed
him and Miss Owens for about one
block before he accosted them. He
is said to be about rs years old
was wearing darK clothes and a
sombrero.

vestigating the cost of living II

of the principal coast cities IN an
effort to learn the reason for the
high cost of products to the chi

pruues cost 80 to AZ cents in chi
cago?"

behalf of the general fruit grow
ing interests, ]. o. Holt of Eugene
told of the canned fruit situation
and NJ. ]. Newhouse of Vancouver

Chicago councilmen that the
prices received by producers were
not unreasonable and that In
many cases they we're far too low.
The councilmen agreed with the
statements of the speakers ano
stated that they would look else
where for the ones who are re-
sponsible for high prices.
They we're greatly pleased with
the Oregon country and expressed
their appreciation of the cordial

that the warehouses have saved the
situation more than the average man
ever thinks about.

The Spartanburg Herald prints, on
the authority of Rev. S. T. Hallman,
an interesting recital of the removal
Of the remains of an old Lutheran
preacher in Ncwbcrry county, one hun
drcd years after burial. The peculiar
thing about the matter was that the
skeleton was in good condition; but
that was not all. 1t seems. that the
roots of tree above the grave had
gone downward q and enveloped the
skeleton almost from head to foot. Rev.
Mr.. Hallman seemed to sec in this
phenomena something bordering on
the miraculous; but evidently the
preacher does not know much of the
theory of scientific fertilization. Since
the roots ur the overhead tree were
only after that plant food so ncCcS-
gaIy for their rapid development and
since they found here just what they
wanted, nothing was more natural
than that they should crowd around
such a rich morsel. To be sure that
this old preacher was all right; but
the pretty sentiment that has been
suggested in connection with the mat
ter Of the tree roots has very little to
rest on. Had the body underneath
been that Of horse thief or an OK the
tree roots would have sought it with
no less eagerness.
