confession, he recently buried the
body of Nina Le Deloney, one of his.

There were hundreds of persons at

in the house.
There are more Illicit stills now
than before prohibition became ef

to hire special agents to locate stills.
; "There were 2006 stills found in
Georgia in 1918," he declared, "1534

"Blind tigers are now surrounded

"During the year when prohibition
was young over 6000 stills were cap

300,000 gallons of 'moonshine" con-,

Spur Franchise Granted.
Franchise to the Oregon-California

A letter from the public service com

place for use as a children's play
ground by refunding past assessments
and cancelling' two assessments that

$4700. E. S. Tilllnghast, head of the

Brothers company, covering the bltu
llthic paving process over which Ore
gon legislatures have wrangled Ions
and strenuously in past session's, ex
plrefl Wednesday.
Just what effect this will have on
the paving pvogram In this state, In
problematic, members of the state
highway commission state.
While It is understood that the ex
piration of these patents leaves the
field clear to all contractors to muke
ufie of this process without the pay
ment of royulty--a question which la
now In dispute in the-courts of this
state In a suit brought by Warren Bro
thers against Dakar Hubor, a contraw
tor, engaged In the construction of,
state highways It is Intimated on th
other hand that the Warrens will
bring another patent into the state
covering pratclcally the same ground
as that of the expiring patent,
Under action of tho state legislature
of 1919 no royulty has been paid by
the state on "bltulithlo" ttsed on statu
highways since that time. - Neither has
any attempt been ms.de by the state to
question the right of the company to
collection of a royalty, the state as
suming the position that the burden
of proof lay on the Warren company.
The action filed by the company
against Huber Involving the collection
of voyalty on bltulithlo used on state
roads In this section Is regarded as a
test of the validity of the patent and
the right of the Warren Brothers com
pany to collect royalty on some 1,200,
000 yards of bltulithlo used In stats
highway work since the edict of the
191! legislature.
