' Probably due to the Increased de mand for the '"elixir of life," as com monly known, around the Christmas holidays, the Illicit distilleries of the district whica is. under the supervision of the local revenue office have evi dently been Increasing their activities! but with this has come more activity on the part of revenue officers whose business it Is to run them down. Al most every day for the past week there have been reports of seizures In various parts of the district, and some of them have been of big distilleries. The records for all these recent seizures, however, have been broken by Deputy Collector W. A. Hendrlx, who sent in a report yesterday after noon containing 20 pages. This report was of one series of raidB made by himself and accompanied by a posse of men In Franklin county, Virginia, and covered a period of four days. Iur lng that time he seized 17 stills be sides other property connected with the plants and he destroyed 14,800 ballons of beer, 3200 gallons of spent beer and 105 gallons of whiskey. Five men were arrested who were found operating a part of these plants and other prosecutions will follow as the result of information received as to those who were the owners , of the others. Some of the stills were-of 200 gallon capacity. When the raid was first started, Mr. Hendrix had iniurmation concerning only three of them, and the otaers were captured as a result of finding these. As each plant was seized there would be some information received about Some other that was In opera tion near by, and so the raids went on almost like an endless chain. The posse discovered one of them while they were in the act of destroying another and the two were not over 200 yards apart. OREGON APPLE bilR CONSUMING HERE Writes to Board of Trade to Inquire About Orcharding in Asheville Se ration. When an apple man hi already In one of the best apple growing sections in the country he would doubtless think twice before changing his loca tion and trying some other apple country; but the board of trade is In receipt of a letter from a man who is now managing a large orchard In one of the best apple valleys in Ore gon, In which he states that he has heard of the wonderful posslbilites of the section around Asheville In apple and pear production, and he is consid ering an investment here of that na ture. He states that h has had about six years of experience in the work; and he asks for information concern ing the possibility of forming connec tions with those who are interested in apple culture. It should be a matter of satisfaction that this knowledge has reached far off Oregon. The development is bare ly beginning along this line here, and the possibilities are more pronounced than the things that have been ac complished. It Is certain, however. that the local apple growers will wel come the coming of anyone who has had experience in the best methods of Slowing this fruit. A letter has also been received from a gentleman In Alabama, asking for , information about the vicinity or Asheville for the growing of truck, the raising of poultry, and apple culture.
