Nonoll.fu, T. H., Dec. 13-Romantic tales of "moonShinerS" and reve- nooers' in the mountains of Kentucky have a. modern parallel on the island of Hawaii-a parallel lacking only the scenes of armed strife and bloodshed which characterized almost all efforts to apprehend tho moonshiners.
 When the United States went dry the Territory of Hawaii. an integral part of the nation, followed suit per- force. Dry enforcement officers were assigned to different parts of the ter ritory to look to the carrying out Of the new l2Ws The officer to whom Hawaii tzisnd was assigned found himself confronted with u territory of over A.000 square miles, including two mountains practically 14,0o0 feet high and one over 5000 feet, with great stretches of wild and uninhabited country on the mountain slopes above the sugar lands which border the sea- shore, In territory of this nature the hunting down of illicit liquor stills becomes fine art, Not only must the seercher know the country, which is volcanic, in places deeply eroded, and covered in many places with a jungle like growth. but he must have tho skill of the mountaineer and the pa ttenee of & stalker of wild game, To capture 0 still under such circum- stances ts a feat worthy of record, from which the absence of stray So-90 bullets detfacts not a whit
