Fortniiiitely, the plan to turn

Taking power from individ

you want.

taries for instance, enpable of
developing twenty horsepower.
I'rivate initiative, reaeliinir
out for hydraulic power, may
simplify the financial problem
of the lakc-lo-the-oecuu canal
project.
Il is understood lhat power
iimpiinio.s are willing to pay
I he greater part of the cost, in
return for use of power created
by canal construction.
Instead of spending a thou
sand millions on thai canal, the
government might need to
spend only sixty millions. ilid-
ille western farmers would save
r norinously on grain, by direct
wider shipment from Chieito
to Liverpool, cutting out the
railroad haul, unless middle

Indicating thai the booze run
ning business has bceomo so profit
able that fleets of automobiles
have been put Into use to transport
alcohol and liquors from Califor
nfa to Oregon and Washington
points, two cars of an alleged fleet
of three were seized In the Siski
you mottntaiiiB last night by Fed
oral Prohibition Agent Terry Tal
ent and Ashland Police Officer Sam
Prescott'. Two men were arrested
und HO gallons of high-grade grain
alcohol, valued at $-&0U, whs HCized.
Knrieo Uuastelli, 45. and Pete
Helli, li5, both of Sacramento, are
in tho county jail and when Riven
n hoaring this ' afternoon before
I'ntted States Commissioner Chaun
cev Florey were bound over to tho
federal authorities at Portland un
der bonds of $Jit)(P each. Helli's
car, a new I lodge roadster, driven
only Too miles, contained fi gal
los of alcohol, and (tuastelH's ma
chine, a new lliuhsou, had a load
of Tfi gallons.
Although they had no advance
Information, Officers Talent anil
Prescott were waiting at the aum
mit of the Siskiyou mountains for
the possible arrival of a booze run
ning machine. When they noticed
headlight oT three ears ascending
the mountain with a uniform (lis
tHiice between each, they sensed
their quarry. After reaching the
summit the officers followed the
machines for two miles and when
they ordered KeJH, driving the
third car, to (o slop, h attempted
to speed away, but Talent jumped
from his machine into the road
ster, pushing Lelll to the other side
uT tho seat as he took the wheel.
Prescott followed tho Hudson
and when he blew the siren lor
the car to stop, the first of the
three machines sped away, (Juas
toll i was driving the second ear
and readily admitted, according to
the officers, that he and llolli were
traveling together.
Tills whs the largest eapturo of
alcohol ever made in tin; history
of Jackson county. Tho cara are
believed to be owned by a large
Pacific coast ring. It is possible
Helli and (Juastelli, whoso ears will
be confiscated by tho government,
may serve long termn.
