STILL
Raid on Mining Claim of
Frank Reynolds Uncovers
Moonshine Plant
REYNOLDS IS MISSING
Officers Fail to Locate Man
Believed to Be Owner of
Still Reynolds Has
Served 60 Days.
A copper wash boiler still with two
coils, and about 130 gallons of prune,
wheat and corn mash, were found
yesterday 6y officers Hopkins, Loar,
Uranham and Hodges, near the min
ing claim of Frank Reynolds on Reals
Creek. Reynolds, who the deputy
sheriffs claim Is the owner of the
still, eluded the officers, when they
went to arrest him foiling the dis
covery of the still, and has not yet
been found. Reynolds served 60 days
in jail last year for nioonshinliig and
paid a tine of $500.
The officers reached Reynold's
claim yesterday noon, after tramping
overland for more than six miles.
They cut across country from Canyon
ville. so that no warning, could be
sent by telephone .
When they reached the place they
found Reynolds near the cabin pick
ing up bark for fire wood. They pro
duced a search warrant to which he
made no objection and went through
the house on the mining claim. The
officers then left Reynolds there
while they proceeded to search the
land surrounding the place. Across
the creek, a short distance away,
they found a still constructed from
a copper wash boiler. One coll of iron
pipe lay nearby, apparently having
been in use at some past date and
then discarded in favor of a copper
coil which waa found connected to the
still. A quantity of wood and bark
at the location proclaimed the fact
that the owner was prepaiing to run
off another batch of liquor. Two fifty
gallon barrels and a 20-gallon keg fil
led with prune mash, and two five
gallon cans rilled with wheat and corn
mash were found nearby. The mash
had fermented lo the point where it
was ready tor distilling.
Taking the still and sanipleB of the
mush, the olficers wrecked the bar
rels and destroyed cither parts of the
moonshine plant, and then went back
to Reynolds' house to place him' un
der arrest. It was found there that he
had disappeared and could not be lo
cated. The officers remained at the
cabin until allium dark, and then re
turned to Canyonvillc. Deputy Sher
iff Hodges, and Deputy Game War
den Loar returnid to Roseburg late
last night with the still, and Deputy
Sheriff Hopkins came In this morn
ing from his home at Canyonville,
Deputy Branham, going back to
Olendale ttfter the raid.
What action will be taken against
Reynolds, If any, has not been deter
mined. Reynolds was arreated In Oc
tober 1S22, and served 60 days In the
county jail and paid a f "00 fine, when
arrested on a moonshlning charge.
He is a crippled man. having only
one arm and has b-en operating a
mining claim on BealB Creek. As
there iB no road to his claim, the of
ficers had a hard trip over the nar
row trail.

MAILS HANDLED
IN GOOD SHAPE
Heavy Christmas Mail Rush
Being Put Out With
Little Delay.
FORCE WELL ORGANIZED
Delivery of Parcels Post to
Residential Districts Will
Be Made Sunday Post
master States.
The employees of the Roseburg
post office, under the direction of
Postmaster Helnllne, are handling
the Christmas mall rush In a fine
manner. In spite of tho fact that
they are badly handicapped by th
fart that the through mail train,
which operates as second 13 and
secoond D.I. is nearly always behind
Its schedule, the mail is being de
livered with but little delay. Pre
viously the post office baa always re
ceived the mall for the morning car
rier delivery at an early hour in the f
morning, and when the carriers ar
rived they were able to make up
their mail and bo on their routes
by 8 o'clock with the bulk of the
morning mall. The through train,
however. Is running quite late, and
sometimes does not arrive until
nearly noon, which gives the car
riers a light morning route, but
doubles up the arternoon mall. They
are work hug bard however, and In
spite of this handicap are putting out
the Incoming mail with practically
no diday.
The outgoing mall Is also being;
handled with dispatch. The em
ployees have been well organized and
each worker has hln own special
place so that the Christmas mall is
being handled with little difficulty.
The rush this year Is fully as heavy
as last year It Is reported, but the
packages are being sorted and Sack
ed as rapidly as they come In. and
the floor Is clean within a few min
utes after the windows are closed.
Two delivery trucks handling par
cels post have been placed III ser- '
vice. A delivery of parcels to the
residential district on Sunday, In or
der to prevent anv great congestion
on Monday, will be made. Patrons
of the post ofrire are asked fo aid
the carriers and parcels post dellv
erymen by answering calls as quick
ly as possible. Each Insured parcel
must be rccvlpte-d for, and It Is plain
to be aeen that with the great vol- '
lime of mail handled this order re
quires a great deal of additional
lime. Where patrons do not re
spond to the postman's call promnt
ly he loses more time on his route
than Is neresBary.
Where slips are left Instructing
patrons to call at the office for
packages, it Is requested that the.
Hps be brought to the post office.
These slips are marked ao that tho
clerk at the window will have 'do
trouble In locating the registered let
ter or parcel, but If It Is not pre
sented It requires additional time to
sort through the mall until the piece
of mall Is discovered.
The postal emnloves at this time
of the year are hard worked folNa,
and a little co-operation and thoucht
fnlnesB on the ns-l of the patrons
of th nff'ce will be of a great deal
nf help to them.
