DIXIE MOOHNEII
IS CAUGHT IN CITY
Prisoner Boasts He Makes
Real "Mountain Dew."
DEPUTY SHERIFFS DEFIED
Man Admit lie Makes Whisky, But
Says Officers Will Never
Find Ills Still.
"Touall'U have to travel fast If you
' find mah etlll." declared Lafayette
Johnson, moonshiner, ol years old, to
sheriff's deputies last night after he
had been arrested at his home, 9213
Forty-fifth avenue, Southeast, on a
charge of havlns liquor In his posses
sion. The deputies naid Johnson Is not an
ordinary moonshiner, operating with
out ethics. No, sun. His father, he
proudly told the officers, was ft moon
shiner in the South Carolina Mils.
Never sold bail brew of moon
shine In his life. The elder Johnson,
In fact, was such a conscientious dis
tiller that, after living In Kansas
during the dry regime, he became dis
gusted with ,the low element manu
facturing liquor there and returned
to his South Carolina ha'nts.
Kamia Product Poor.
"Wa-a-1, suh." drawled Lafayette,
"all the time he was In Kansas he
never durst to take a drink of any
moonshine except what he made his
self. An" you know your own llkker
don't taste so all-fired good when
you never net a chance."
- When the elder Johnson was dodg
ing the revenuers and making his
choice liquor. Lafayette was born.
"Ah was done bawn in a stillhouse,
an' ah knows how to make Rood
likker." he said. "Ah was raised
wh'e' they made It all the time. Ah
wouldn't drink none of this here Port
land llkker, not if it was all the
likker they was In thlshyere world.
".My dad had to move out of Kansas
because they used tin stills and made
likker 6uttn anything that come
handy."
Attitude la Trndlllonnl.
Deputies liked Johnson's attitude.
A big man, saying he was a railroad
engineer, his appearance is in his
favor. All he lacks is a Koatee to
Identify him with the colonel of tra
dition. His attitude Is that there is
nothing dishonest in making moon
shine, and that revenue officers are
natural enemies who should be de
prived of their liquor or otherwise
harassed.
"We all'd jes" soon shoot a revenuer
as look, at him," he informed the
deputii'B. "They alius nose around in
other people's business."
Deputies Wolffe, Beeman and
Schirmer said they fojind eipht gal
lons of real South Carolina moonshine
' in Johnson's house. They did not
find the still, and said they had no
idea of its location.
Prisoner In Sportumnn.
Johnson took his arrest in a sportsman-like
manner. He assured the
officers, they said, fhat he was a
moonshiner, and a real one. Ad
mitting that they had him cornered
with some moonshine in his house, he
laughed at them, saying they would
never find his still and would never
arrest him again. He was a type of
prohibition violator new to the Port
land officers, and apparently a pro
ficient one, for he quickly counted
out ?SG0 bail and went home.
A cousin of Johnson, Steve More
lock, was visiting him from South
Carolina, and was released. Johnson
was Indignant that his relative should
be arrested, maintaining that he alone
was the moonshiner.
Still Hunt Planned.
Johnson, rated among moonshiners,
13 a hero-moonshlner, but deputies de
clare they have accepted his dare.
They admit that distance lends,' a cer
tain romance to the southern breed
of moonshiner, but they intend to
demonstrate to Johnson, that he is not
in South Carolina and that In Oregon
a moonshiner Is a moonshiner and
can't get by with it for long. They
are on a still hunt.

BERLIN. Dec. 16. (Special Cable.)
Hugo Stinncs, Germany's financial
dictator. Is going to American soon
probably in January in furtherance
of a scheme no less ambitious than
the monopolization of Russian trade.
Herr Stinnes' plan, according to the
writer's Information, i9 to interest
American capital in the formation of
a five-power syndicate composed of
b.g business groups representing Ger
many, the United States, Great Britain,
Holland and Denmark.
In negotiations toward this end.
which he began several months ago,
Herr Stinnes counted on British and
American bankers supplying the bulk
of the capital needed, or credit needed,
to permit Kussia to buy the food and
manufacturing articles the syndicate
would offer. Lut It is understood that
he was told here that, though Britain
stood perfectly ready to supply manu
lacturers to Russia, if payment was
guaranteed, there was little cash or
credit available here, so it is believed
that Herr Stinnes has found himself
forced to turn to America for most
of the financial assistance he re
quires. It is understood that under the
Stinnes scheme the entire shipping
ajid marketing resources of Germany
in the Baltic would be at the service
of his syndicate.

pany for the present will confine its
construction to that minimum. Its
eventual plans Include, however, an
enlargement which will water addi
tional acreage as soon as further
allotments of storage are granted by
the board. To the Deschutes country
the (lew project means not only tne
reclamation of an Imnortant tract,
but the probablHtv tnat the conflict
of Interests between other proposed
projects will cea-Se and that every
available acre will soon be watered.
The North Canal company is financ

requiring no guarantee from the
state. Neither is it selling stocks
nor bonds. Construction of the Crane
I'ralrlo dam, it is promised, will be
gin so soon as certain pending mat
tern of procedure have been adjusted
with the state and the federal gov
ernment, in accordance with the
Carey segregation act.
Under the provisions of the Carey
act the state serves as an intermed
iary, between the reclamation com
pany and the settler, on behalf of the
government. The company Is obligated
to begin construction within six
months after the approval of its
plans. Not until Its specifications
have been fulfilled and approved, and
water actually provided, is it reim
bursed for its expenditures. Units of
5000 acres, when watered, will thus
be thrown open to settlement by sale,
the price not to exceed $75 an acre.
Ten years is given the settler in
which to complete his payments. The
disposal of the lands, in this manner
and with a perpetual water right,
transfers' title in the project to
settlers, in proportion to acreage
sold, so that th sale of the final
acre witnesses the automatic retire
ment of the company and full con
trol of the project by land-owners.

IRISH PEACE TREATY
RATIFIED BY BRIT1
Majorities Are Overwhelming
in Both Houses.
DAIL DECIDES MONDAY
Public Session to Be Held, Accord
ing to De Valera Craig In
Loudon for Consultations.
(Continued From First Pace.)
were many things iu the treaty he
would have arranged otherwise had
it been possible for him to Impress
the government's views on the Irish
delegates. But, he declared, the
treaty was the best obtainable under
the circumstances.
Irlnh Declared Wayward.
The Irish, Lord Birkenhead con
tinued, were a wayward people and
nobody was able to say what they
would do in unexpected contingen
cies; but he could say that for the
first time, with due and adequate pro
tection for Ulster's legitimate inter
ests, "we have fiven a population,
which Is overwhelmingly homoge
neous, an opportunity of taking its
place by the side of the other com
munities composing the British em
pire." He added "that this was a great
moment in history.
"The Irish are an ancient and
parent people." Lord Birkenhead con
tinued, "and I believe this settlement
has a chance to satisfy the sentiments
of an overwhelming majority of the
citizens of southern Ireland. If so.
we shall see, year by year, the disap
pearance of those animosities which
have poisoned our national life and
weakened our national effort fot
seven centuries."
Military Situation Reviewed.
Remarking that if it were neces
sary that the settlement be submitted
to the last test which if was the gov
ernment's power to apply (to the
leople), Lord Birkenhead proceeded
to give the reasons that led him to
believe that his hopes that Ulster
would decide to enter the settlement
were not wildly extravagant.
The chancellor explained that when
some time ago, the government re
viewed tije military situation and the
warfare in Ireland, "which were not
proceeding favorably to our cause," it
became clear that a continuance of
the struggle would mean a call for
volunteer recruits and a heavy ex
penditure of money.
Alternatives Are Considered.
"Can it be said of this country."
Lord Birkenhead asked, "that we are
suffering military humiliation be
cause we decided, on the balance,
that it was wise to make this ex
periment in statecraft? A great coun
try can afford to do a great thing
In a treat way. What were the
alternatives? Were we to break
these people, as we could with our
military utrengtJt? Should we have
been any nearer a settlement after
fire and the sword had been carried
Into every village in Ireland?
"There was nobody but knew at the
conclusion of such a war, the mem
ories of the past would be a thou
sand times more bitterly Inflamed,
and that we would still have to do
what- we hav done now enter into
negotiations."
Irish Approval Expected.
Lord Birkenhead asked the house
to give its vote, not in a spirit of
light optimism, but in a spirit of
hope. He declared himself expectant
that the people of Ireland would sanc
tion the treaty by an overwhelming
majority.
A goodly part of the chancellor's
speech was devoted to personal ques
tions. He said Lord Carson had pub
licly proscribed him from a friend
ship which had many memories for
him. Lord Carson, he declared, could
do that "but nobody caa deprive me
of the memories so indlssolubly
bound up in the past, when we ran
common risks."
Quoting from some passages of
Lord Carson's speech, the chancellor
said:
"These are wild and foolish words."
He also lashed out in his character
istic style at the Marquis of Salis
bury, and the Duke of Northumber
land. He'said that for the Duke of
Northumberland all soldiers were
mad, that politicians were fools or
rogues, and that all workmen were
actual or potential bolshevlkl.
Hope for Future Expressed.
In conclusion, alluding to what he
termed the approbation of the whole
empire for the treaty, Lord Birken
head expressed the hope that the fu
ture would see Ireland, at least after
centuries, reconciled to England and
making its own splendid and Indi
vidual contribution to the empire and
participating in the imperial council,
an equal beside equals to support and
give expressions to the historic desti
nies and rightful influences of that
country.
Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader In the house of com
mons, in his summing up, defended
not only the action of the govern
ment in concluding the agreement
with Ireland, but his own attitude as
a member of the unionist party In
supporting it.
"If an Irish settlement has been
attained." declared Mr. Chamberlain,
"it is only because It Is not a party
settlement and beacuse It is not a
party government in whose hands the
negotiations rested."
Criticism Is Answered.
Dealing with Ulster's criticism
that after Ulster had gained her com
plete freedom under the act of 1920,
the Imperial government in the
treaty had put Ulster into a united
Ireland, but allowed her the privilege
of contracting out of if, Mr. Chamber
lain said:
"The government would have se
cured recognition by southern Ire
land if the right had been given
northern Ireland to remain out of the
free state."
"We are a great empire," Mr. Cham
berlain said in conclusion, "and can
afford to be as generous as we are
strong. To have the power to for
give is an empire's prerogative and
we, who have strength and might,
should be the first to exercise the
Imperial attribute."
, Replying to a question, Mr. Cham
berlain informed the commons that !f
the Irish agreement were approved
by both sides, the question of the
amnesty of all Irish prisoner would
be considered.
Pledges Declared Broken.
Charges of broken pledges were
hurled at both Prime Minister Lloyd
George and Austen Chamberlain, gov
ernment leader, in the house of com
mons. Thomas Moles, membet from Bel
fast, one of the laser speakers in the
debate, dramatically declared:
"Ulster cannot and will not yield
a yard of ground."
Instituting his attack with, his eyes
fixed on the ministerial bench, he
shouted:
"Do, for God's sake, try to keep
faith with somebody."
Major Robert O'Neill, speaker of
the northern parliament, and other
Ulsterltes, brought their heaviest ora
torical guns to bear on the provision
of the treaty relating to the appoint
ment of a boundary commission to
draw the line between north and
south Ireland in case Ulster decided
to remain aloof from the treaty.
Interest Now in Dublin.
Interest now has been diverted to
Dublin and on the position Ulster will
take. There was an incident today
which In some quarters is regarded
as showing a possible turn in affairs.
Sir James Craig. Ulster leader, on
arriving in London, told the news
paper men that but for the boundary
question he might have been Induced
in some degree to approve of the
treaty. -
Sir James seemed to have inter
preted the speeches of Mr. Lloyd
George as meaning that ratification
of the boundary would result in the
severance of Tyron and Fermanagh
from Ulster. Mr. Lloyd George in the
house of commons today repudiated
this interpretation.
DaIIs Slowness Regretted.
There seemed to be no doubt In
parliamentary circles tonight, with
approval of the treaty by Andrew
Bonar Law and the fact that the
house of lords gave its sanction, that
at another meeting between Mr. Lloyd
George and Sir James Craig, which Is
expected ' to take place In the near
future, a new face would be put on
things.
Great disappointment was ex
pressed tonight In official circles over
the slow progress being made by the
Dall Eireann in Dublin as compared
with the prompt acceptance of the
treaty at Westminster. According to
reports received In parliamentary
circles here today, one difficulty in
Dublin is how to prevent Eamonn de
valera from being set aside. If the
Dall Eireann accepts the treaty.
The view was held, however, that
the treaty eventually would be ac
cepted by the Dall Eireann and the
Irish people. In addition, less dan
ger is now apprehended from the
Lister side by the members of par
liament in view of the fact that eti
quette precludes Lard Carson from
pursuing a public campaign for Ulster
unless he resigns as lord of appeal.
LORDS ARE KEPT WAITING
Chancellor Delivers Address to
' American Luncheon Club.
LONDON, Dec. 16. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Lord Birkenhead, the
lord chancellor, kept the house of
lords waiting a half hour this after
noon to enable him to deliver a brief
address to the American Luncheon
club.
Lord Birkenhead in his address
evaded any discussion of Irish af
fairs, dismissing this subject with a
passing reference.
"Today marks a stage that can
never be forgotten In the history of
the English-speaking peoples. he
said. "1 knew of no quarrel, actual
or potential or discernible by the
most acute eye, between the two. 1
know of one the spectre of the old
Ir'sh quarrel. I don't know yet
whether we have laid that spectre,
but if we are successful in this task,
we shall have done much 'to banish
the last trench in which more mis
understanding might have lurked
than our predecessors approached in
the past two centuries."

Stockman Believes He Is Vic

INVESTIGATION IS BEGUN
Year After C. O. Hooker Buys 100
Shares of Timber Stock He Says
He Discovers Fraud.
GOLDENDALE. Wasn.. Dec. 16
Special.) C. O. Hooker, pioneer
otockman ancVfarmer living five miles
south of Bickleton. has employed
Brooks & Brooks. ioca? attorneys, to
investigate a stock deal in which Mr.
Hooker believes he was swindled out
cf 15000 In cash, liberty bonds and
t otes and a $5000 promissory rote
which never has been presented for
payment. Investigation on the part
cf the attorneys has so far failed to
discredit the- farmer's theory of the
deal.
Mr. Hooker said that In April. 1020.
he agreed to purchase from two men
who Introduced themselves as C. E.
Waite and R. S. Wylie 100 shares of
stock in the Prudential Timber &
Milling company of Tacoma, Wash.
He paid J1600 by check and $900 in
Tberty bonds, he said, and gave notes
for the reRt of the money. Mr. Hooker
declared that he also took in option
for 60 days on 150 more shares, but
did not purchase them. He said the
stock certificates never were sent to
him.
SIAOO Check Is Cashed.
Mr. Hooker declared that the J1600
check was cashed at the Bank of
Bickleton two days after the deal
with the Indorsement of C. E. Waite.
One note for J1000 and another for
$1600 were taken up by the same
tank.
Mr. Hooker was unable to get
Enswers to letters written to inquire
about his stock. More than a year
after the purchase he went to Ta
coma and Castle Rock to Interview
prominent men who. according to the
salesmen, were Interested In the Pru
dential Timber & Milling company.
Unable to obtain satisfaction from
these men, he employed attorneys to
handle the case for him. The attor

Metcalf, secretary of the timber com
pany. They received s reply from
Judge Shackleford, his attorney, say
