AUTOS USED TO
SNUGGLE BOOZE
INTO DRY STATE
SALT LAKK (MTV. Kepi US Au
tomoblles used in the smuggling of
liquor into IMnh are liable to confis
cation. in (lie opinion of Attorney
General Dan 1!. Shields of [Mah. and
the attorney-general is also of the
opinion that when this becomes known
that this illegal practice will lie cur
tailed greatly, for it will be much
harder to lose a costly automobile
than to submit to a fine by the sheriff
of this county.
Two automobiles have been seized
by the sheriff of this county together
with their cargo of liquor and the
sheriff intends to make every attempt
to retain possession of the machines.
Attorney-General Shields says: ‘ 1
believe we are justified in holding
all cars found carrying contraband
liquor into the state. The prohibi
tion law expressly states that not
only the liquor, but the receptacles
thereof, are subject to confiscation.
At any rate 1 have instructed the
sheriff to hold all cars smuggling
liquor into the state and we will con
tinue to hold them until the owner
takes the matter before the courts.
My Office is prepared to fight any case
and i feel that the court's decision
will uphold my interpretation of the
law."

SYRUP BE MADE
INSTEAD WINE
FROM GRAPES
BERKELEY. Cal.. Sept 2S. That
2r.ti.niMi tons of wine and table grapes
now worth $-1,000,000 whose market
will lie cut off by war prohibition In
lOllt. if made Into syrup would lie
equivalent to 10.000 tons of sugar of
a present value of about $8,000,000,
is 1 he leading statement of a bulletin
on grape syrup issued by the Agricul
tural college of the University of
California.
Il is further stated that investiga
tions have resulted in devising meth
ods by which an excellent table and
cooking, and even a fruit canning
I syrup may be made from these grapes
j with very slight changes in the, pres
| ent equipment of the wineries and
| sugar factories of Californai. it is
| also proposed that by the co-operation
I of grape-growers, wineries, sugar fac
| lories, and canneries in the state, the
j wineries purchase the grapes during
' the vintage of 1 !l 1 it, extract and store
50,000,000 gallons of juice, the larger
i sugar factories receive this juice dur
I ing spring and summer, concentrate
j it. and ship the syrup to the canneries
I for utilization in 1020. By using the
major part of this syrup in the pro
portion of 25 per cent, to 50 per cent,
with sugar in most of their canning
and entirely with some fruits, the
quality of their product would be in
| no way lowered
l Regarding the marketing of the
grape-syrup the bulletin has the fol
lowing to sav It would doubtless
he impossible to market this large
quantity of a new product so quickly
without some assistance or encour
agement from the government. A
regulation allowing the free purchase
of grape syrup while limiting the pur
chase of cane syrup or sugar and
permitting the purchase of sugar for
canning only when accompanied by a
certain proportion of grape Byrup
would dispose of the whole crop. As
grape syrup, made by tin- process
j described in the bulletin, has been
shown to be wholesome and attrac
tive, such a regulation would work no
hardship to consumer or manufactur
er and would result in saving a large
quantity of food material, Il would
also safeguard the livelihood of hun
dreds of families."

pages of its wild career, due to the
recent heavy rains, and at latest ad
vices was si ill going some. I’assen
gi rs from the westward on one of
(lie recent boats Htate that tiie ap
proach to the Third avenue bridge on
the north side went out. Thirty feet
of (lie wingdam on the north side be
tween Third and Fourth streets was
undermined and went out. All pa
tients were moved out of the Seward
General hospital as the water was at
talking front, rear and sides, and the
basement was tilled with water.
The pipe line was also washed out
and the electric light plant has again
received considerable damage, neces
sitating the use of oil and gaH in the
city. Over a foot of water is run

The wingdam north of the Brownell
homestead is partly craried away, not
a pile remaining.
