ODD TRICKS IN
SMUGCLING
WHISKEY
BUFFALO. Feb.,* iO-^ Old trick; are
being revived and new ones invented
9 by smugglers who are ...aulnng their
wits aguiii-t those of the customs of
ficers in an effort to bring conical';*no.
whiskey from Canada into the United
State*.
The tide of the whiskey movement
which for more than two years flow
ed from the United States into Can
ada has turned back. Oi the same
smugglers who once took long chances
to send liquor across the border into
Canada now art#attempting to evad
the American instead ot Canadian
laws.
There has been a partial lifting ot
the ban in Canada. The order in coun
cil issued by the Dominion govern
ment in wartime which prohibited in
ter provincial traffic in intoxicating
liquor, was rescinded on December SI.
Ontario still has a dry law prohib
iting the sale of liquor across bars or
in anyway except by government ven
dor upon an order tiom a physician.
This. Ontario law, however, cannot
prevent interprovince traffic by mail
and express. Consequently Americans
who want to take chances with the
customs laws have experienced litt»o
difficulty in having liquor delivered at
the United States bolder.
Some of the tricks used to evade

from the United States to Canada wa*

ficial survey of the activities of the
returned service men who have taken
up homesteads in British Columbia,
during the past year, has caused pro
vincial officials to predict that the
various soldier colonies established in
1919 will be merged into one g^eawci"
ony, directed by soldiers who fought
in the Great War.
Success of British Columbia’s sol
dier colonics has attracted attention
thi oughout the British Empire. The
only serious problem which has nrijen
•n the province is the heavy influx of
returned soldiers from other provinc
es. It has been estimated that several
thousand returned veterans, who en
listed in other parts of the Domirdnn,
are seeking to become residents of
British Columbia.
Records of the Soldier Settlement
Hoard show that more than 5,000 so’
diora have decided to take up land and
that 2,500 are actually on homesteads.
Various soldier settlements have
sprung up, the leading ones being at
Omo MerviMo, on Vancouver Tshu d
an 1 Cam?) l/’ster, near Creston. About
10,000 acres near Prince George also
are to ho colonized.
In the soldiers Colonies . no one but
service men and their families reside,

MYSTERY WOMAN
LEAVES CORDOVA
#
Cordova's “mystery woman" is
gone. Who she was, where shb came
from, what brought her here— no ore
knows one iota more than when she
first appeared in our town, last July,
says the Cordova Daily Times.
“Alma Robinson" was the name she
gave to Mr. and Mrs. Miller, who a e
managers of the Northern hot 1.
where she took up her abode. A litt* 5
blonde woman of forty years or there
abouts, silent and ever-watchful, sht
has glided through the halls of the
hotel, sometimes locking herself in
her room for days at a stretch, some
times disappearing for several weeks
and reappearing without a word as to
where she had been. Some great
wrong or sorrow overburdened the
poor creature's brain, but not one
word would she divulge even to fb »
most sympathetic questioner. She
molested nobody, although she seemed
to have a great hatred for men, an 1
instantly resented any attempt to
draw her out. Frequently she vis’to \
ships to inspect the passenger s,
and always aeemeo lo be watching
and waiting for someone, bhe >ui* :
fered under a hallucination that some- j
body was trying to poison her, and ;
gave up eating at restauiants to live j
on food which she bought and carm I
to her room. She appeared to have
plenty of money, occupying and pay
ing promptly for the best room in <hr
hotel. When lately she reappeared
after one of her mysterious absences,
hungry and thinly clad, she was ex
amined for insanity before Commij
sioner Noaks. To the jury she would
say only that she was the great Je
hovah, sent to clean up rotten political
conditions here.
Under the kindly gate o-f Mrs. Wes
ley Billings of Valdez she was taken
aboard the Alameda, en route for
Morningside hospital, near Portland.
Who was she? Whose wife? Whose
mother? Whose sister? Who knows?
