VOLUME XXXII. MOONSHINE STILL I RAIDED BY POLICE V. E. Hampton and William Swift Alleged to Have Operated Still for Illicit Manufacture of Liquor , i A well equipped moonshine whis key still at 602 Jackson street was raided by Deputy Sheriffs Cole and Baker of Colfax and Chief of Police V. 0. Sargent early Tuesday morn-1 Ing and W. E. Hampton and William Swift were taken to Colfax to answer' to the charge of having intoxicating liquor in their possession. The two men pleaded guilty to the charge be-' fore Justice Doolittle and each was assessed a fine of $150 and costs, iith 60 day* i.n the county jail. It is believed tnat the. lesser charge was brought only to hold the men for the federal authorities, and that the ! more serious charge of the manufac ture of the contrabrand liquor will be filed later. V. 0. Sargent, local chief of police, assisted in running down the alleged "moonshiners" and called the depu ties from the sheriff's office to as-' sist, in the raid, which occurred at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. The equipment secured by the law -custodians was loaded into an auto mobile and taken to Colfax, where it was held as evidence to assist in the prosecution of the alleged law I vlolaters. Two copper kettles, with worms, were confiscated, as well as! two kegs of mash and several pints of the finished product. Hampton.; with his family, was living in the house where the still was in opera-' tion. Included with the paraphernalia! confiscated by the officers was a "blue book," containing a list of the customers of the alleged thriving, business. This, book indicated that! a considerable amount of the moon shine product found its way to Col-' fax, although the names of several Pullman men are "written there." While it is rumored that the Illicit ■ manufacture of whiskey has been go-! ing on for several weeks, and that! several recent "drunks" might be traced to the raided still, the dis covery of the still came as a big sur-' prise to the community. Hampton has been a resident of Pullman for several years and for some months past has conducted his own business, j Swift is a comparative stranger, hay- j ing been in Pullman but a short I while, and little is known about him. Both the men have families. . It is rumored that further develop- j ments in the case may be expeced and these are being awaited with ouch interest. i DR. BEISTEL TO STUDY AT MAYO INSTITUTE Dr. M. J.

Pond Lyceum Bureau now has the rare privilege of an- nouncing that Lieutenant Sir Arthur, Whitten Brown, K. B. E., has con sented to make a lecture tour to tell his original story of this first great accomplishment of peace; times. Averaging a speed of 120 miles an hour, climbing, diving, looping the loop and at times flying upside down, because the fog and mists of tie- North Atlantic had blotted out the sun, moon, and stars, they had no sense of the horizon, the flight, of 1960 miles was successfully car ried out. Among other things this stupendous achievement, the great est of the age, set a new world's dis tance record for a heavier than air machine, a machine which could not alight upon the water. It is Brown's opinion nor, that the flying boat is the only piano for such a flight; had they been forced to land if would have teen Impossible to start again in th« water. During the flight they flew through atmosphere so cold that Ice caked on the Instruments), and short ly after the take-off the small wire less radio set, jarred loose and was blown away, leaving the world in ignorance of the progress of the plant.

I NUMBER 6 COMMISSIONER TELLS OF ROAD SITUATION County Commissioner J. B. Sanborn IHmiii.hscn County Hoods Before (Ttaisihw of siwu-co— Finish Main Artery Next Year "During tho last two years Whit man county has constructed nearly every mile of public highway it would have been possible to build even had millions of dollars been available for this purpose," was the statement of Count) Commissioner .1. 11. Sanborn before the chamber of commerce Tuesday, Commissioner Sanborn discussed the county road situation at some length before the local citizens and cleared up many points on which criticisms hi re been directed at the commissioners for alleged laxity in road construction throughout the county. Commis sioner Sanborn contended that ab normal labor conditions had made road construction almost an Impost* sibility, even though tho commis sioners have been Inclined to pay the prices demanded by contractors for road work. "We might have built. a few miles more, perhaps," he said. "had we been willing to pay from $1000 to $6000 per mile more than under ordinary conditions," The Intention of the county com mlrsioners to continue next year tho road improvement program inter rupted by the war and abnormal conditions was Indicated when Com missioner Sanborn pointed out that by constructing 30 miles of Improved road next year under the Donahue act every important trading center in the county, with the possible ex ception of Palouse, will be connected with a hard surface road, highways that will stand the test of time on Which the annual upkeep will not exceed $200 to $800. "Under Ihe Donahue law," he contended, "we get two miles of highway as against one mile under a bonding system, and In the latter rase the taxpayers of the county pay the entire cost." Oakesdale and Garfield will be connected with an Improved road under the permanent highway law next year, and Commissioner San born argued that the legislature should be able to secure federal as sistance to construct the 23 miles between Pullman and Garfield thus completing the main arterial road system of the county. Commissioner Sanborn pointed to the road now being constructed by the farmers 10 miles west of Pull man, with county assistance, as proof of the fact that the county it self, in many cases can do its own taxpayers many thounrnds of dol taxpayers amny thousands of dol lars. This piece of road, which pre sented grading problems harder thais the average, will be finished at a cost of not to exceed $0000, while the contract cost has been as high as $13,000 per mile. The legisla ture, be contended, should pass a law permitting the county Itself to ill the work when the bid a of the contractors are considered too hi-;h. The county will need from 300 to 100 miles of connecting roads after tho main arteries are complet ed. The taxpayers, he contended, should make a deep study of the sit uation and lay their plans now for completing this road system through out the county. The legislature should be prevailed upon to adopt more adequate laws for county road lullding, ho said, and urged the tax- vers to use their influence to this end. Upon motion Of Professor H. V. Jarpenter, following the discussion by the county commissioner, Mr. Sanborn was asked to prepare data 'or a series of newspaper stories on he road 'situation to acquaint the taxpayers, through the local news icper with the actual conditions and possibilities for the future, thus irlnglng about a closer underst&nd ng and co-operation between t the omrnissioners and the taxpayers.
