ing to L. V. Jenkins, chief of police,
who has Just returned from that

that this universal code would prove
a solution of a great many of the
difficulties now confronting the po

"Nearly every section of the coun

the convention that the nearest step
to a solution of the entire problem
would be the adoption of a uniform
traffic code," said the chief.

THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1920
A still In a 16-foot square cave
room about 10 feet underground,
which probably took $1500 to con
struct, was discovered Tuesday by
Sheriff "Wilson of Clackamas county
and internal revenue officers on the
property of Mrs. Nettie Connett, three
miles northwest of Bull Run.
Mrs. Connett is known as the
"queen of the moonshiners." She Is
the . first woman moonshiner to be
convicted in Oregon. She is free at
present on a stay of execution. She
was convicted of -operating a still In
her home some time ago and was
sentenced to six months in the county
Jail and fined JiOO. She had appealed
her case.
Still Carefully Concealed.
The'underground still was carefully
concealed with many trees and brush
which had been planted on the earth
which had been thrown up In digging
the cave. On the slope toward the
creek, Sheriff Wilson and the men
discovered a door, all covered over
with ferns. tTpon opening the door,
they found a tunnel, which led back
under the hill for 15 feet. At the end
of the tunnel was another door, which
opened Into the cave room, which was
flacked In.
A 90 gallon copper etlll was found
on top of an old stove. Heat was
furnished by coal oil burners. Five
hundred gallons of corn mash and 10
gallons of finished liquor were in the
room. Water was piped to the cave
from a stream 500 feet away. The
cave was- about 75 yards from the
farm of George Wilkinson, which ad
joins Mrs. Connett's property. v
No one was operating the still at
the time and no arrests were made.
Equipment Is Elaborate.
When Sheriff Wilson was return
ing from the farm with part of the
stm on the front of his machine, he
passed Mrs. Connett and Wilkinson in
a machine driven by Everett Lowther,
a farm hand. By the time the sheriff
had turned round to follow them, the
others had the lead and the sheriff
aw Mrs. Connett and Wilkinson leave
the machine and make for the woods.
The sheriff waited some time, but
they did not come out. Lowther told
him that the two had not been In the
machine.
Over 100 yards of fine Insulated
wire were found in the cave and the
sheriff thinks that an electric bell
waa to be installed soon, so that the
alarm could be given by pushing a
button from one of the houses if any
one approached.

Lesion Post of Hood River.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) At a special meeting of the
American Legion post last night,
which was attended by representa
tives of all local civic and public or
ganizations and representatives of
different business interests, it was

Legion; the Grand Army, Woman's
Relief Corps, Women's Auxiliary of
the Legion and Boy Scouts, a large
public auditorium and a. swimming
pool.
Funds will be raised through city
and county appropriations and public
subscriptions. A nucleus of more than
J1000 already has been raised by pa
triotic women and through other
sources.

Peculiar Epidemic Sweeps Over

BAKER, Or.. Sept. 1. (Specials-
Amateur horticulturists are baffled by
the peculyiar epidemic that has swept
through Baker and vicinity during
the past season. Local nurserymen
also are unable to explain the reason
for so many dead shade trees. The
victims of the disease consist chiefly
of the elm variety, although a num
ber of cherry and peach trees also are
affected. The disease attacks only
wen-aeveioped trees, which appar
ently are in a healthy condition.
A state of decay sets in and soon

The ' funeral . of Henry B.

from heart failure at his Port

held this afternoon at 3 o'clock
from the Holman chapel under
the auspices of Sumner post of
the Grand Army of the Repub

Mr. Thompson came to Port

1903. He was 84 years old and
is survived by six children, nu

great-grandchildren. The chil

one-fourth to one-third of the amount
of last year.
The yield of apples Is also about
50 to 60 per cent of last year's crop.
The crop, however, Is of better quality
than ever before and the apples are
clean, free from disease and mostly
of a uniform size.
1200 PICKERS ENGAGED
Pierce County Has 8 00 Acres and
Heavy Yield.
TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 1. (Special.)
Twelve hundred pickers will start
next week to harvest Pierce county's
800 acres of hops. Reports from the
Puyallup valley indicate that the 1920
yield will surpass that of last season.
Pickers will be paid $1.50 a box this
season.
The value of this year's hop crop
in the valley is approximately $2,000,-
000. Some contracts were made early
in the season for 50 cents a pound.
but 65 cents is being paid now and
the outlook is for a stiffening In
price, eay many owners, who are
holding. Most of the hops from the
valley are sent to England; from
there they are transhipped to South
America, India and other parts of the
world.
Library Xeeds More Funds.
TACOMA. Wash., Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) Cost of furnishing books and
general library service has advanced
sharply like everything else. The
Tacoma public library will need
$69,028 this year, John B. Kaiser,
librarian, told the city council, an
increase of $17,329 over the present
year. Increases due to greater price
of books, wage raises and a general
tendency to use the library more
thoroughly are behind the request for
a larger budget, Mr. Kaisoer and
Bishop F. W. Keator, chairman of the
library, said.
Weekly Luncheons to Be Resumed,
Weekly luncheons of the Portland
Realty Board, given up during the
summer months, will be resumed be
