THREE STILLS,
MUCH MASH ARE
LATEST CAPTURE

Three stills. each with capacity
of 100 gallons, and nearly 2,000
barrels of mash, together with a
complete moonshine out f i t,
formed the loot captured by Sher
iff Gillett and panty of deputies
on the Thistle canal, a short dis
tance west of the Tamarack ranch
last night.
The operators of the still, which
was one of the largest and best
equipped ever taken in Imperial
County, apparently had wind of
the coming of the officers, for they
were not in the vicinity when the
sheriff and his party surrounded
the place.
ALL the mash was destroyed, and
the equipment, together with the
stills, was brought to the county
jail, where it will augment the
collection which the sheriff is ac-
cumulating.
In addition to Gillett, Under
sheriff Underwood and Deputy
Sheriffs Corneilson and KeVp took
part in the raid.

able concert last Monday evening
when they were presented by the
C. E. Society of st. PauFs Lutheran
Church, the concert taking place In
the church. Flora Brylawsh. con-
traIto, Helen Belt, violinist, and
Fivienne Winstead, pianist, were
the assisting soloists.
Miss Winstead's appearance was
particularly interesting, as she
played several of the compositions
that won for her the coveted prize
of entering the Federations of
Music Clubs competition with a
trip to the far-west this summer.
She gave the first movement of
both the Beethoven Sonata Ap-
passionata" and the MacDOwell
Sonata Tragica,'' in which she
showed the spirit of the real in
terpreter. She plays with a fine
sradation of tone-color and her
technique is facile, though it is
marred at times by too much haste
that robs her Of purest articulation
= What is most significant is that
the full musical value, with also
poetical meaning, is evidenced in.
this young pianist. Her "tragico'
touched deeply in sentiment, her
Chopin "Nocturne" and lovely De-
busy Garden in the Rain" main
tained all of the particular type of
this widely different music that
means mastery of the subtler things
of the piano. She also gave a
Brahms waltz as encore.
Chaminade Glee'S Singing.
This women's choral club is to
be congratulated upon the music
they use. Chaminade's Were !
Gardiner opened the program and
they sang Rubinstein's 1.-The Angel"
Dvorak's Coin Home" gave a fine
tone quality to the Reinicke Love
Iiest Violet with good value in the
parts. and closed with a short can
tata by Galbraith. Their attack is
sure and the balance of voices good.
Flora Brylawski has the special
gift of reaching the heart in her
songs, with an admirable diction
that gives her song stories appeal
singly. Her rich contrdito voice
adds a mellow charm to her spOn-
taneous and unaffected manner OF
singing that is real pleasure.
Helen Belt played two Kreisler
selections for violin with pure
sweetness of tone, and also gave
the SVendsen "Romance." Gertrude
Walter was the accompanist for
