State and County
Engineers Visit

A party of state and county officials
were on the Island Wednesday looking
over the road situation at the South
End. They were joined by a party of
local men who went over the grounds
with them, expressing local desires and
opinions, and pointing out the route
that seems to them most feasible.
This visit was preparatory to the
survey to be made soon, and the loca-
ton of the highway upon which the
100000 appropriation made by the re-
cent legislature and the $4,000 ap-
propriated by the county is to be
spent. 1t appears that this survey
must be made soon, and that while
the final decision is up to the highway
department of the state local desires
will be considered if possible.
| The party was entertained at lunch
con by Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Case at theil
home, after which the visitors vert
taken on tour of the Island, looking
over conditions in general. Their toul
included Maury as well as Vashon.
Those who were here from off o
| the Island were Sam Humes, state en-
gineer, Thomas Hunt, county enginee
and their chief deputies, and j. A
McKinnon.

Deputy Sheriffs
Get Another Still

on last Saturday Deputy Sheriffs f.
j. Shattuck and j. M. Barnes raided
another still on Maury Island, arrest
ing the operator, ]. H. Smith, whom
they took into Seattle.
When arrested Smith had the still
operating full blast in root house on
his ranch at the foot of the Brockway
hill. They found 80 gallon still,
four so gallon barrels of mash, about
IL gallons of moonshine, empty bar
rels, gas pressure tank and burner,
testers, etc.
This is the second time the Smith
ranch has been raided, last winter the
federal officers having arrested a
Seattle man to whom the barn had
been rented. Smith was found not
guilty of actually manufacturing
liquor, but was found guilty of owning
the premises upon which to his
knowledge the manufacture was going
on. AT that time he was given a
suspended sentence of one year.
up to the present time Smith is still
unable to furnish bail and is in the
county Jail. He is liable to receive
from $500 to $3.50 fine, with possible
suspended sentence.
This was the second still that has
been discovered and destroyed within
week, and to all appearances ii
would seem that our local deputy
sheriff is doing his best to rid the
Island of this type of manufacture.
