HOME BREWERS PINCHED
(Special to Gateway from Fairbanks)
The Interior of Alaska for the r
% I
first time in its history' is so bone dry
that its hoops are falling off through
the activity of the new secret service
men. The stills that were being operat
ed all over the interior the local of
ficers found it impossible tor locate but
when a stranger appeared in the vicin
ity with a hint that he concealed a
third in his parched throat the am
♦ luer brewers and distillers as a rule
him to the still that was being oporat- *
ed. The secret service men naturally
pretended that they are not interested
in a still in any way except to get a
drink. The unsuspecting law breaker
leads 'em to it and bingo he is arrest
ed. During the last four days, three
more distillers have been picked up
and the jail here is crowded with still
ers and bootleggers of every descript
ion. and many others are out on bond.
Thvse who have it for sale have been
# t«x» scared to dispose of their wares
and consequently the interior is as dry
as the Sahara desert. Wires have been
fc* »** out for the apprehension of a big
bwedi who is said to have operated
here with distiller Ram bo aged 70
>*ars. The latter told all he «*ne\v
about everybody* engaged in bootleg- j
g»og and got off with a sentence of
one year in the Federal jail. A boot
legging trial is on tonight as well as
the trial of three other men who are
charged with a conspiracy to make
whiskey out of perfectly good pan
cake syrup. Bone dry is right evenj
the women have ceased to buy raisins |
I*
and yeast cakes.

BUTTE, Mont., Oct., 12— A mem
ber of the federal dry squad recently
was searching the mountains in this
region for evidences of occupation by
illicit liquor manufacturers. He knelt
to refresh himself from the cool wat
ers gurgling out of a lonely canyon.
The waters were fresh, tasted delight
fully cool and apparently bore strong
indications of having been polluted by
the festive moonshine.*.
Following up the creek for more
:han a mile the sleuth discovered one
[>f the largest illicit stills ever found
in Montana, if NOT in the west. The
plant was in full operation and an
itemized list of apparatus and stock
jn hand indicated the operator was
abundantly prepared to cater to the
wants of Butte and have considerable
stock to spare.
The property seized consisted o1
Uo gallons of “moonshine” whiskey,
barrels of mash, a 120-gallon still,
still in operation and another 60-goll
on still, apparently held in reserve.
W. C. Fraser was arrested, tht
officer stating that he was conduct
ing the siill. He was arraigned before
the United States commissioner and
held to the grand jury.

PLENTY MEATS
FOR THE WINTER
—mrnmt — —
(Fairbanks News Miner)
If anybody goes meat-hungry this
winter, it will be because they are
too shiftless to cut the meat and try
it* for the camp is full of moat
Dr. Hornin-a-day and the ol’ maids
of the East to the contrary not
withstanding.
A conservative estimate is that one
million caribou have been threatening
the people of this vicinity for weeks
past, and the people have had to kill
a lot of them for self protection.
While Agnes De Sota was standing
peacefully in the road out Fairbanks
creek way, admiring the scenery and
wearing a purple sweater, a big fero
cious bull caribou took her for a
field of alfalfa, and walked right up
to her and tried to eat her sweater
off her, which would have been a
dangerous exposure for Agnes, but
good ol’ Dr. Sutherland happened
along about that time with his trusty
i
rifle and saved the maiden’s life.
Wat you know about that! The
caribou caught Dr. McCallum out of
Doc Kubon’s auto, and the Doctor
was covered al over with rifle shells
but had forgotten to fetch his rifle
along with him, and if he hadn't un
derstood the caribou dialect and been
able to talk them out of it, they
would have manhandled him for sure.
And that's the reason why every
cache in the country is full of cari
bou meat today— a mere matter of
self-protection. Which spells a long
closed season for sellers of domestic
meats.

DAWSON, Oct., 12— A wireless

Von last Saturday. Double pneumonia

T. D. Boyce of California, recently
