A 30-gallon still in full operation was seized together with samples of grape brandy as evidence. A few days ago the state prohibition officers re ceived from parties in Cle ISlum a map showing them how to reach the underground still. Three operatives Of the Seattle office left early Fri day morning by automobile and In stead of going into Cle Klum, which would have tipped off the moonshin crs, left their car and took the moon shiners' secret trail through the woods and over a rocky hillside.

REPUBLICANS ARE SUSPICIOUS Washington Workers Supporting Open-Shop Candidates. TACOIifA. Wash., Sept. 5. (Special.) Republican leaders are somewhat suspicious of the support given Colo- el Roland H. Hartley in southwest Washington by the Railwaymen's Welfare league. Reports from Grays Harbor, down Chehalis way and along the South Bend branch say that the league is for Hartley and Forrest L. Hudson. The latter wants to go to the senate in place of Wesley L. ones. It was natural that the liberals should stand behind Hudson, who is their candidate and is a railroad man and has the thought of the brother hoods foremost in his acts. But why the rail men should be for Hartley, after the latter's programme of the establishment of the open shop is of upreme importance, worries the poli-icians. League leaders have disclaimed knowledge of a plot to make a man of traw of Hartley in an effort to land Robert Bridges, Seattle liberal leader. the democratic nomination, and then to turn on Hartley after the " pri-1 maries. While Bridges is the leader f a certain faction, they say he does not control Hartley's following. Hudson and Hartley show what trange bedfellows politics make. Both are unalterably opposed to the other's ideas of thinking. Hudson is brotherhood man with the brother hood idea of thinking. Hartley be- ieves that anyone should work where he pleases without regard to union affiliation. Workers for Governor Hart charac terize the league's move for Hartley as an attempt of labor to get a hold the state government. William Short, president of the Washington State Federation of Labor. has been giving the politicians some uneasy moments of late. Short, it is related, is playing politics which smacks of an effort to tie up with the democratic state organization. It is a fact that at the Yakima con vention Short frowned on the third party organization, preferring instead that the liberals should project them seles either into the republican or democratic parties. What Short is trying to accomplish now is not definitely known. He has expressed his opposition to both Hart and Hartley but has not mentioned in any complimentary way any of the democratic candidates. The railway leaders of the state organization say that in the matter of the Spokane branch, the majority of tlfem there have decided to switch their political affections from Lamp ing to Hartley, although there is still a small fraction-staying by the origi nal indorsement of the Seattle sena tor. Republican leaders say that the ef forts of the liberals in the governor situation are crystallizing as the cam paign advances. TESTIMONY IS TRUE, HAYS' REPLY TO COX Reckless Irresponsibility Accusations Charged. in ISSUE PUT UP TO. PUBLIC LIQUOR SALES REPORTED CANADIAN WHISKY IS BEING SMUGGLED INTO ALASKA. Further Comment on Reliability of Governor's Statements De clared Unnecessary. NEW YORK, Sept. 5. Will Hays, chairman of the national republican committee, issued a statement today in reply to Governor Cox's attack on the truthfulness of his testimony be fore the senate committee investigat ing campaign contributions. The statement said: "According to the public reports. Governor Cox yesterday made the fol lowing accusation against me per sonally: " 'I charge that Will Hays perpe trated a deliberate falsehood when he said under oath that there were no quotas.' "In my written statement read to the senate committee on August 30, in Chicago, I said: FLxed Quotas Changed. " "Tenative quotas were fixed by the treasurer's office, all tentative and rather as a goal, always high of course, for the particular state to drive for, and changing constantly. " 'At different periods different quotas have been suggested by the treasurer's office as tentative goals in different states, and the state com mittee themselves have fixed differ ent quotas. These, as above suggest ed, are changing constantly, and al ways, of course, were made very much higher than either necessary or anticipated. . "The fact is, the quotas meant little. Furthermore, whatever may have been suggested as quotas by over-zealous solicitors in their en thusiasm in different localities, the fact remains that a certain amount was believed necessary, and the budget above referred to was indi cated therefor, which is $3,079,037.20 for the use of the national committee. Farther Iteply Held Unnecegnary. ' 'When this amount was fixed as the budget, that became the sum fixed for the treasurer to reach, and the pur pose became definite. The fact at all times remains that the treasurer is driving to collect enough and no more than enough to meet the neces sary expenses, estimated to be some thing in excess of J3. 000, 000.' "These are the facts. Let the pub lic judge as to the truth or falsity of Governor Cox s accusation. It has the same reckless irresponsibility as his claim of $15,000,000. Further comment on the reliability of his statements is unnecessary." Situation in Territory Declared Be yond Control at Present ot Prohibition Director. SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 5. (Spe cial.) Liquor is plentiful and sold freely over the bars in Ketchikan, Juneau and Petersburg, according to reports received by Donald A. Mc Donald, director of prohibition for Washington and Alaska. - Canadian whisky is being run across the fron tier and as there are no special pro hibltion agents in the territory, fed eral officers, with their other duties, are unable to cope with the situation, the reports stated, w.

Two government boats available for use Jn intercept ing this rum running, he said, have been out of commission part of. the time during the summer.

' Appeals were made to him by fed eral officers and attorneys for aid in enforcing the Volstead act. Original reports of a plentiful Bupply of liquor in Alaska were brought to Director McDonald by missionaries and resi dents of the territory. The director had planned to make a trip of inspec tion this month, but was relieved of the necessity by the appointment of the special agents who left Thursday to investigate and make recommen dations. i Phone your want ads to The Orego nlan., Main 7070.

"However, we have regular ore-reducing ma chinery employing the simple prin ciple of specific gravity to produce a final material, that has consistently assayed 96 and 97 per cent pure metal. The only market we have obtained so far has been In Seattle, but we have sent tests to the war depart ment and to other possible markets and expect to broaden our field."

Wilson, Former President and Manager of the Old Fashioned Milling; Gompaoy. How I lost very dollar T had invested and seven years of hard labor and seven, of the best years of my life in establishing one of the most commendable business enterprises in this city. Is too long: and tedious to state here, and after all it Is only a sad but interesting chapter in my own life. However, the thing that Is of interest to the trade, as well as to the housewife. Is the fact that in justice to myself and to the thousands of loyal cus tomers I will f oon re-establish myself in the cereal business and will launch an advertising campaign to that effect. The housewife will learn through my advertising, which she Is going to watch for and read, that a good share of her Ill-feeling and unhappiness in the average home is due solejy to the ill-health of both herself and husband, for most people are cross and irritated because of ttie poor quality of food they consume, yes, and through my advertising, the mother will iearn (that her children have bad teeth, poor eyes and miss their grades at school not for the lack, of quantity of food they eat but for the lack of quality and; what is equally important, they also will learn by eating the whole grain mushes, bread, cookies, etc., the mind, nerves, teeth, eyes and all other vital organs will attain their normal con dition and peace and happiness will re sult. My advertisement will convince the housewife of these vital trutns ; nence there is going to be a large demand for the genuine M. B. Wilson Stone-Oround Whole Wheat .Mush, Flour, Corn Meal and Oat Meal. Now, have good reason to believe that all my competitors, both large and small, have "learned of my program, hence their agents are' making a strenuous effort to stock up the grocery man so that he will not have room on his shelves for my product; but it cannot be done; for when, the housewife knows of the food value of my famous flavored, whole-grained products, she will not accept any substi tutes or imitations but will insist on get ting M. B. Wilson's Stone-Ground Cereals, and the groceryman who overstocks with our competitor's goods will be the loser in the long run. However, before launch ing this advertising campaign, we will send to the trade a circular letter explain ing our selling plan, which you will find is unique and a business getter, and we have every reason to believe we will se cure your full co-operation. ! nisi o WWT II XiS. j ijO STIFFNESS or formality here.
