The Faculty will in all probability make an intensive study of said report during the year with a view of comparing the work ' now being done in the normal with the sug gestions of the report. Said report would be very interesting reading for any one interested in normal training. The Normal was pleased to note that one of its graduates, Mr. Rol lin Dickinson has been elected Principal of the University High School. Mr. Fleming Oleman has been elected to a position in the Umatilla eiunty schoola at a salary of $1200 per year. The programs put on by the two groups'of students on Tuesdays and Fridays are very interesting. Any one wishing to spend a few minutes very pleasantly is cordially invited to be present at these programs. They begin at nine fifteen, A.M . We halt the press to insert an account of how the sheriff and an editor raided still another still and topped a source of firewater which has probably drained Its dribbiing course among the soak and youth ful tipplers of Uils section for some time past. No bacuwoods, or rocky inlet stuff in this either unless the region of North Independence can be classed under the former head' ing. Y Sheriff Sherlock Orr, so the report goes, irritated at the ease with which numerous raids had been foiled, at last got bit eagle rye on the tight place and with his faithful Watson, M. L.Boyd, edi tor of the Itemizer, made a night raid Tuesday at 9 :30. A house be longing to L. F. Evans is the scene of the excitement. Thither goes the sheriff rnd his, valiant ally., "We are here" says Sherlock, "Watson, you alarm them at the front door and I'll nab them when they make exit at the rear." A glare of I'ght played acror the front. of the house. It was con spicuous distressingly so. Moon shiners tre supposed to be desper ate and even a small marl make a fair target. Some one had to get out the Itemizer this week and the editor stuck to the shade. Like a sheep rancher going after a nest of coyote the sheriff tackled the back of the house. There was a subdued racket and two men bounded out of the front door and headed toward town. The sheriff gave chase, shootim? hi revolver, not at the men. however, because the street had many people return ing from the picture show. The men leaped over the concrete bridge and were lost in the brush. The sheriff returned to the house and found a big still, a-. copper affair made by someone who knew how. It had a capacity of a quart every six minutes. It had just been fired and there were only two quarts which were freshly distilled, but the plant was rilled with' prune and raisn mash and before it had cooled sufficiently to take up, 12 quarts of brandy had drained out. Something like 200 gallons of mash were dumped into the river at the ferry. The still and liquor were taken to Dallas and the sheriff and deputy Hooker are now on the trai seeking the moonshiners. N In combatting moonshine busi ness in Polk county Sheriff Orr has a hard tusk as there are so many conditions that favor the business. But he has now raided and destroy ed stills in nearly every corner of the county and has proved himself the uncompromising enemy of the law breaker. His work kept up: will maks the county so hot for the booze maker that he will be forced Judging from the news report this is the on season for the moon shiner businesa for the federal agents for it i a rare day that doe not tee some sort "f exposure of this kind. Last Thursday Marion county officials raided a still on Tke's Island in the Willtmette, near East Independence. The island which it large and on the Marion tide of the channel, makes ar) ideal tpot for moonshlning. The office rt who raided the island searched it from one end to the other without finding the appara tus which they sought. But after the occupant of the island, Howard Buckner, was arrested he led the officers to the still. It was located on the river bank, reached by boat and was so hidden among the brush and overhanging branches jf'tree that it might well defy detection. Thirty gallons of white liquor, four boxes of mash, three boxes of prunes, several jugs and a quantity of sugar were seized and all but a small quantity retained as evidence wis destroyed. Buckner was taken to the Marion county jail. Beside the Tice Island raid two Other itills were raided in Marion county but week. One near Silver ton where Willie Franki was taken into custody with a still made of l tea kettle and a twelve foot coil of copper tubinj. The other was near Aumsville. Andy Schwab, a farmer two miles south of that place was discovered manufacturing a still and had 20 gallons of mash ready for the apparatus wTien it was completed.

Only two bid were received pur suant to advertising, for the con struction of a gymnasiu m on the high school grounds in Indepen- Idence. One was in the sum of $16,998 and one (16,775. Both bids were submitted by Salem par ties, Mr. Anderson placing the former and Mr. Knapp the latter, but neither can be reached by the money provided by the sale of bonds as authorized by a vote of the people, which amounts to 115,000. The directors will perhaps modify the plans and advertise for more bids. The $15,000 bonds have been sold for a small bonus above par. hive thousand dollars was taken by the Farmers' State bank of Indepen dence and ten thousand dollars by E. L. Devereau & Co. of Portland. Recently Federal Detective Wolf of Portland raided a still on Che- halem creek, near Ncwberg. Tte following account is from the Mc- Minnville Telephone Register: The house is located one and half miles northwest of Newberg on the L. F. Hall farm, in a quiet cove at the junction of two little creeks. The place is well hidden from public view. Nearby is the home of Lawrence and Ernest Hall idowers, who are occupying the farm, but claim that they knew nothing of the existence of the b i 11 . as the tract and house had been rented by parties who intro duced themselves as gardeners. The Hall brothers have been arrest ed ami taken to Portland for trial in the feneral court, and it is said some startling revelations may be msde which will implicate a num ber of unsuspected individuals. The building in which the still was operated was a large one, hav ing but one outside entrance, and. but one window' The door leads into the living quarters, and back of these was the bedroom, were there were two beds. Adjoining the living room was the still, in the largest room in the building, and this was lighted artificially Back of this room was a compart ment for storage, which had ground floor.' Here were shelves containing a half dozen large kegs of manufactured whiskey, all supplied with faucets. There was a large stock of emptv bottle, as well as a goodly supply of corn meal and.hops for further manu facture. The place had a capacity of 100 gailons per day. There were several containers filled with kero sene,"which supplied the heat under the copper still by a spray injection produced by a pump similar to those used on water wagons of Would Move County Seat Orville Butler comes forward this The bonds bear interest at six per week with a proposal to remove the cent and are to be retired at the county seat from Dallas, placing rate of $1,000 per year the Question upon the ballot this fall if possible.
