High Powered
M0Onshine Found
Near Holtville

Some of the "gosh awfullest -
liquor ever seen or smelled at the
county Jail was brought in last night
by Deputy Sheriff Thaanum and
Flave Kemp of the district attor-
ney's office, who arrested A. Lowe,
charged with manufacturing liquor.
The officers located loves still
near Holtville after considerable
search and remained hidden by a
ditch bank until the alleged "moon-
sinner started ops:ations, when
they closed in on him and took him
in custody.
Lowe, according TO the officers,
was using an abandoned gasoline
drum as the main part of his still,
and the liquor evidence that they
brought in with them smelled hor-
riblv of gasoline. One drink of it
would eitreh change q man into a
corpse or maniac, the Officers said
The accused is held in Jail await

FIRST BULLETIN
ON CANTALOUpES
SHOWS INCREASE
Eastern Cities Report
Market Easy; Price
Range Sc to $40.

With G. +. Schultz of the United
States department Of agriculture 3
bureau of agricultural economies ar
riving in the valley yesterday, the
first market news service report on
he cantaloupe shipments and prices
was released shortly after noon to-
day.
The ease and efficiency with
which the bulletin service has been
opened by Schutz is shown by the
ssueing of a report from the old
chamber Of commerce room III the
Hotel Barbara Worth where, in the
midst Of the confusion and noise at
tendant upon the remodelling of the
room for the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, the market news service and
federal state inspection service are
occupying most cramped quarters.
Bulletin No. l shows eastern mar
kets in general easier, with sales
ranging mostly from 500, few as
high as SO.
Fulfilling the prediction voiced in
Yesterdays S Press, shipments for
that date topped the 100 mark and
had three to spare. Of the ears roll
ing, 7S were freight and % express.
Cars shipped to date this season now
total 325, according to the market
news report.
The Pacific Fruit Express reports
152 cars ordered for today's load
ing, which indicates that predictions
of 20 cars daily within very short
time are entirely reasonable.
The first of the cantaloupe distri-
button meetings, which during the
past seasons have been held daily, Is
called for tomorrow afternoon at
! 80 O'Clock in the Hotel Barbara
Worth lobby.
Cantaloupe men from the coast
and from Rocky Ford district of
! Colorado are continuing to arrive at
] the hotel in numbers. c. Il. Hold
