Over tho Frontier. Spokane, Wash, Smuggling costly wines, silks, opium and Japanese from British Columbia Into Washington state haa been reduced to such a sciworking ence by organized bands along the boundary that Immigration officers and secret service men admit obthey are baffled. Until they can tain more tangible proof to flz the Identity of the persons Implicated the to paaaing of the contraband la likely continue Indefinitely. Thousands of dollara worth of Import! and several hundred JapaneseIn have been brought Into the country the last few months by men working in the foothill along the International line. Trained doga are used by the opium and allk auiugglera, while those handling liquors employ wood wagons. The alieus are piloted across the border by armed men, who would not hesitate to shoot If Interrupted In their work. Most of the contraband Is dissouthern posed of In eastern and states. The rueh of Japanese across the border Is giving the Immigration officers the most concern. A dozen have been caught In western Washington in the last ten days, but so far tho authorities have not been able to flz The offirera adthe responsibility. mit that a hand of clever smuggler Is at work, guiding the undesirable aliens Into Washington, and then leav Ing them to take care of themselves.

The smugglers have hiding placet In various parts of Hrltlsh Columbia, whence the Japanese are aent Into this country, the cost to the aliens ranging from 150 to (1,000, according to the circumstances of the persons to be brought Into the United States. Smuggling opium and fine silks Into this country from Hrltlsh Columbia by the use of trained dogs, believed to be Imported from France, was discovered at Blaine, Wash., west of Spokane, and as a result Thomas Smith Is In custody awaiting trial In the federal court. The discovery was accidental and came about when Officer Lane, connected with the station at Moiling ham, shot a dog running through tho thick timber near Illalne. The dog carried a leather saddle In which were found three pounds of opium and a package of silk. Where the dog came from and where ho was going were mysteries which the officials at once began to ferret out They took a coon dog with them to the boundary line where the flrat dog was aeon. They waited three day before another dog came along with a pack saddle on Ita back. This time there were three dogs loaded with the drug. The men let them pass and then with the aid of the coon dog they traced the animals to a shack near Mlulne, where the officer afterward arrested Smith on a charge of smuggling. The leather saddles wore fashioned aftter those used by tho hospital dogs in tho Austrian army. It is not known whom the smugglers obtained the raddles, but. It Is likely (hat Smith's confederates are well versed i.i the training of dogs. GETS TROUT IN MINK TRAP.

And In many Instances a big roll" for the saloon kecers In your ward. If It waa a saloon ward. My ward was not strictly speaking a saloon ward, but there were a great many saloons In It. My plan of campaign, however, did nut include a saloon canvass.

I was singularly well equipped to look at this matter In a strictly conservative light. I bad never been In toxleated in my life, nor had 1 ever taken tho pledge.
