lake and alonfr Maxwell Butte was
gaining- volume tonight. Latest re
ports received at the headquarters
of the Santiam national forest here
were that it was a "crown" fire and
running rapidly through the tops of
the trees.
The fire had been burning largely
in an old burn, but tonight had
reache'd a section of the former burn
where there is a dense reproduction
and was sweeping- through the young
green trees.
No late reports estimated its area,
but It was believed to have swept
00 or 700 acres.
' This fire is about six miles north
east of Klsh lake, a resort on the old
Willamette valley and Cascade moun

A fire on Canyon creek, about two
miles southeast of Cascadia, was
dying down in limits established by
the fire fighters and another fire re
ported about out tonight was that
on Olallie creek, near the southeast
corner of Linn county.
The air patrol today reported a new
fire in section 6, township 16 south,
range 5 east. No report had been
received of this fire from the rangers
or lookouts. As the location was re
ported very close to the big fire on
McRae creek it was possible the pa
trols saw smoke which had drifted
from this fire.
There was considerable wind at
times today and this condition and
the unusually warm weather com
Dined to make conditions' dangerous.

terday on a charge of possessing in

by Acting Municipal Judge Deich.
Regas was arrested by Patrolmen
Ramsey and Huskins after they had
tested cider and grape Juice in his
establishment and found it to con
tain 7 and 8 per cent of alcohol. The
Investigation was started when a
large number of "drunks" were found

"It's this way. Judge," said Regas.

He said that when he was through
with the Investigation of the shooting
and returned to his place of business
he found it full of "drunks whom
he promptly kicked out.
Judge Deich told Regas he would
assess him J50 for his failure to look
after his business more closely.

he was fined $50 by Judge Deich.
Chalifoue-was arrested as a result
of an Investigation started after
number of riders and visitors to the
show were said to have been "tern
porarily paralysed" by his brand of
moonshine. Patrolman Mason pur
chased a bottle of the liquor, which
was produced as evidence In court.
"The man who really sold the
liquor got away." Chalifoue told the
court confidentially. "I know who
he was but I don't know his name."
The man's explanation, however,
failed to satisfy Judge Deich.
"You've put me in a rather bad
position," the Judge told him. "I have
to find either you or the officer
liar. I have decided to find that you
are not telling the truth."
Ben McKinley. drug addict, spent
several valuable minutes of the court's
time in attempting to explain why
he should not be sent to Jail on a
charge of vagrancy. The judge fin
ally sentenced him to 100 days.
"If you hadn't made such a good
speech I would have sent you up
longer," the judge told him.
McKinley explained that he had
only been In jail twice in the last
seven years and so couldn't be such
a very bad "guy." He also told of
serving in the army at Camp Lewis.
According to Inspectors Collins and
Coleman, who arrested McKinley, the
man had been associating with Robert
McMonies, who recently had his pa
role revoked 'and was sent back to
the penitentiary at Salem on account
of some petty thievery in which he
was implicated.

the black eye.

At his request the case was put

time.
"It was just 22 years ago today
that I participated in the final "bat

only take a little pop shot to sink

swim for it if it was necessary."
Judge Deich then told of landing

over the city.
