Sheriff Applegate seized the
Stetler winery last Sunday, and
confiscated over 3,000 gallons of
wine, Borne of it being aged at

manufactured by Stetler, and oc
cupied two tug wine cellars.
Stetler was brought to llillsboro
Saturday, by Sheriff Applegate,
on a charge of selling liquor in
violation of the prohibition laws.
He gave Iwnd of $500, and before
he was able to return to the
ranch the sheriff had nided the
place and taken charge.
The official found 27 barrels
practically full; and 23 barrels
from two-thirds to three-quar
ters full; 150 empty barrels; sev
eral hundred emptv bottles and
800 corks, nearly all of which
were new.
The sheriff thinks there is a
cave somewhere on tne rancn,
and is investigating. He has
had the liquor hauled to llillsbo
ro. Stetler will answer to the
grand jury on three charges.
Fred Stetler is a Swiss bache
lor, aged about GO years. He is
well-read, and has a good educa
tion in Swiss. He is quiet, un
assuming, and one of the best
wine makers in the county.
He is non-committal, and says
that he sold only for medicinal
purposes.
Eight barrels of the liquor
were found hidden under hay,
and three barrels were found in
the woods.
The lot of wine is worth from
$4,000 to $0,000. and the seizure
will beheld pending the outcome
in the courts.
It is charged that many sales
have been made, both locally and
in Portland.
Stetler is reputed to be worth
anywhere from $15,000 to $25,

SCHOOL DISTRICT BONO
MEET SEljOR FEB. 17
Call Ask for Affirmative or Neg
ative Vote of $14,000 Issue
TO BUILD ANNRX TO "HI0H" BUILDING
Proportion of Advance for School it
Launched
The Hillsboro School Board last
Thursday posted notices fo' a
school meeting election to vote
bonds for an addition to the new
High School building in North
Hillsboro, and the vote for or
agiinst the measure involves the
sum ot 514.UW. witn this ex
penditure Hillsboro will be fixed
to take care of school needs for
years lo come, ana this win
mean t i:it the district can take
care of not only its own pupils,
but a large increase from outly-
ng portions of the county. As
it is now the High School has
grown so rapidly that the build
ing is inadequate.
The isue, if carried, will give
more room ana aiso install a
gymnasium and other accessories
necessary for best tutelary re
sults. While there is some opposition.
it is conceded that there is a
great deal of sentiment in the
direction of making Hillshoro the
best, school center in Washington
County. With a letter equipped
school it will mean that a course
in Hillsboro will be equal to
many of the smaller universities
in the state.
The meeting will take place at
the High School building at two
o'clock in the afternoon, the day
of the week falling on Saturday.
The district is already bonded
in the sum of $45,000. and if the
new bonds are voted it will leave
a debt of $59,000. As the incor
poration is already providing a
sinking fund of $1,000, and the
best of estimatts on income fig
ures another $1,000 sinking fund
from tuition and profit on the
addition by reason of better fa
cilities, it is argued that the debt
can be reduced $2,000 each calen
dar year.
If the new issue provides a
condition where there would be
over $1,000 profit accruing, then
the building cost in its entirety
would mean only about $1 per
annum on every $1,000 worth of
property.
It is the intention of the board
if the bonds carry, to next year
install a business college course,
and this can be done with one
additional instructor to the regu
lar coros. Such a course will
add largely to the merits of
the
school and be a drawing card for
the district. It is to be hoped the
issue will carry, as it will mean a
srreat deal for the county seat
from a business, as well as an ed
ucational standpoint. It should
add from 50 to 100 high school
students.and this means expendi
ture for their maintenance, as
well as a large sum from the le
gal high school fund as tuition
receipts. In that case in a few
years the extra funds to the dis
trict alone would wipe out, as a
profit, the $14,000 of bonds.
Remember the date, Saturday,
Feb. 17. at 2 o'clock.
Geo. Miller, of Cooper Moun
tain, was city visitor Saturday.
He sold his 1916 hop crop the

broke about even. He still has a
caMoadof potatoes for the mar
ket, and this means a little good
money.
The firemen's dance, at Moose
