None of the operators were caught at the still site, located in a much - frequented section for liquor making about 12 miles north of Hillsboro, but over 2,000 gallons of fermenting mash was poured out and the still, maintain ed by a good-sized low pressure steam boiler, was wrecked. While tracking down this still Sheriff Odell H. Clayton also ran across a twin-container submarine cers estimated there would have been as many as 60 cases of white liquor distilled from this batch, and it could have sold to a whole sale rum runner for about $1,000. By the time the final consumers bought it from retail bootleggers the purchase price might well have been several times this sum. PUBLISHER WHITE—Roger White, H-year-old son of Prof, and Mrs. William White of 419 Patterson Place, is officially an Associate Publisher of the Seattle Post-Inteilsgencer. Because of his extraordinary interest for the past several years in the State of Washington, which he has followed through the Post- Intelligencer, he's been given a year's tree subscription, and named to the staff as Associate Publisher at a salary of a dollar a year—already paid in advance.''Doc'' Blodgett, former Chapel Hiil newspaperman, now of the General Electric public relations division in Ithaca, N. Y., wrote the Post-Inteiligencer of Roger's Interest in this newspaper after the boy was unable to buy a copy on the out-of-town stand in New York. The Seattle editor replied with the ma nagerial appointment of Roger, .who has since written a sketch about himself for the paper. “I don't know how I got interested in Washington," he wrote, "but I did and now I like it better than any other place."
