' How would you like to drink a

of a quart of colored Water spiced
with; a percentage of laudunum? j
That, In effect, is what, local con-
- euroera o moonshine Invite with
every "nip," laccordlng to Johnson
S. Smith, federal prohibition direct
tor for this district. He says that; 90
per cent of the liquor sold in Port
land. Jg moonshine, despite, reports
to the contrary, and that the greater
portion of it is charged with lead
' poisoning. ' ..
- "These moonhlnera . have no knowl
!edge of distilling processes," he com
ment. They make moonshine t sell,
not to drink."
Smith declares that much of the moon
shine produced in and near Portland is
dtitSled in lead and tin cans, and sent
through all sorts of galvanized and
metallic coils. To-prove it. he exhibits
still after ntlll, which formerly served
as wash boilers, kettles, and other cul
inary receptacles, that, he says, tahit
every drop of moonshine carried through
them. The present ' moonshine; is often
a mixture of colored water, lead; polson
lnar. and a nerve-deadening drug, federal
officials maintain.
IXOBTEII GOODS MADE HERE
Smith, with J. -'Jp.-- Flanders, 1 federal
prohibition agent, teltanof efforts ' f
thrifty salesmen of moonshine to dupe
the drinking public into purchase of cort-
terminated liquor. . j s i
Smith laughed heartily as he told or
a recent story in an evening newspaper,
describing how "fine Canadian Club and
. Scotch whiskey was transported by sir
piane from British Columbia to Porjt
land.; The prohibition men related the
. story; of a poor moonshine market,' how
a shiner had thought of ; the airplane
. yarn to indicate that ntre old -whiskey
wasion sale in Portland, and how -he
then confided to consumers, i"that ! h e
'bad a case' of the rare Canadian whis
key" and charged them a rare prlee
r for it. ' j
"Yes," grinned Smith." "the Canadian
Clubi labels were made on Third street
and the 'Canadian Club'. was manufac
tured in a still Just out of Portland."
So it was, too, with the "fine Callfopr-
ntt Cognac brandy" imported at the time
of the - automobile show. ; Bvery bg
i event is the signal for bootleggers to im
port "eight-year-old. mellowed-In-the-
,weod" liquor from Canada or California,
say prohibition men. And about the
- name time, stills in ;aitd near the city
-experience a revival of rapid activity.
' Labels are prepared, and the old lead
' soils; fairly shiver as they pour forth the
.-sparkling fluid that is to be purchased
is "Canadian Club" by the gullible. :
' , The propaganda in behalf i of mooft-
shine in preparation for the Shrine con
vention Is already under way. Flanders

closed though many observers have aup-
posed that Secretary Lansing believed j
the senate committee could do a great
deal toward impressing' the Mexican
government with the seriousness of Its

"The publishers are consuming paper.

good business judgment," Hearst said.
Hearst said he made no recommen
