SHERIFF FORCE
OPERATES STILL
FOR MOONSHINER
H. A. SAULSBERRY CAUGHT WITH
GOODS, SHOWS HANSON AND
OLIVER HOW 1T is DONE
WISHES 1T HAD HAPPENED IN
OLD KENTUCKY.
WAIVE PRELIMINARY
MOOnshiner With Alledged AccOmplice,
II. NJ. Saulsberry VIII Take Chances
In District Court Latter Protests
InnOcence-Is First Offense.

While Sheriff George Hanson was
scouting around the fields for a confe-
derate of H. A. Saulsberry, Saturday
night, his deputy w. L. Oliver was
running about forty gallons of perfect
ly good mash through a copper still
located on the Frank Kluck ranch
about eight miles cas- tof American
Falls. The sheriff and his deputy con-
Quoted the still for about four hours in
the hope that said confederate would
show up, but at three o'clock in the
morning they surrendered, emptied out
$3.50 worth of moonshine and brought
Saulsberry to town where Monday, he
waived preliminary hearing and will
take his chances before Judge o. R.
Baum in the District Court.
Saulsberry is a young Kentuckian
who came west last spering to spend a
year or so with his uncle H. M. Sauls-
bury of Pauline. The complaint is
filed against them jointly and charges
that they operated a still and were
found in possession of Intoxicating
liquor.
H. M. Saalsberry is Pauline farm
er and is well known in the county
where he has taken an active part in
politics for several years.
"StilI" CleVerly Concealed.
The sheriffs force has known of a
still in the Kluck community for several
months but has never been able to
connect the still" to any particular
persons. 1t is carefully concealed in
a gerat pothole in corner of the
Frank Kluck ranch at Sunbeam.
though Mr.. Kluck is in no way con-
nected with it's operation as far as is
known. A lantern sitting in the mouth
of a cellar in the pot hole revealed the
location of the still" to the officers
who discovered Saulsberry opearting
in full force. The white mule was
trickling into jug in most approved
fashion and the big boiler was steam
ing away without care when the two
officers appeared
Saulsberry realizing that he was
caught with the goods did not show the
white feather. He showed the officers
how he operated and allowed them to
opearte the Still themselves for an
hour or so, explaining the different
processes the mash went through A
tester was used to test the quality of
the product which was judged to be at
! least as good as the average.
The liquor was being prepared for
the Roundup evidently and the officers
timed their visi. nicely in order to find
their friend at home.

UNCLE SAM MAY
BUY POSTOFF|CE
(By ROBERT FuLLER.l

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 2.-Uncle
Sam is going to invest in, American
Falls real estate, as soon as the plan
of Postmaster General Work is author
lied by Congress. II is proposed that
the government buy or build its own
post office.
President Harding has approved the
plan. 1t is national in scope and when
put into operation will save the gov
ernment $500,000,000 in ten years.
Tired Paying Rent
Postmaster General Work in his let
ter to President Harding explained
that the department now pays an an
nual rental for buildings which house
all of our post offices, totaling more
than $12,000,000. These figures have
been growing at tremendous rate re-
Gently as leases expired and owners
demand and obtained substantial in
creases.
1t was also pointed out that shame
less speculation on the part Of those
who try to prey on the government
will be abolished for all time.
The Government can borrow money
at percent to buy or build post Of
fices, which will be tax free, says
Work. Whereas, when leased the gov
ernment pays a rental high enough tc
permit the lessor to borrow money al
z TO 10 percent and still profit.
Business Is Booming.
5,S36 of Uncle Sans post offices art
in leased quarters. Only 1,2OC are IN
homes owned, by the government.
The parcel post and other adjust
ments have resulted in earnings which
have more than doubled in the last ter
years and are constantly growing.
Administration leaders in Congress
favor the plan and Treasury officials
have expressed the opinion that it il
essential to economical management
of the postal system,
