MUCH VERY BAD LIQUOR
Being Struggled Into Aiaska-some Of the
Plans Employed


TACOMA, Wash, May 27.-News comes
from Alaska that liquor Of doubtful
quality is being Struggled into that terri
,ory in large quantities. The shipment OF
iquor there is unlawful except where spe-
cial permits are granted, but many sa-
looms receive fresh consignments by every
steamer. though liquor is never entered
on the steamers manifest. The latest ruse
for getting quantities of whisky into the
Interior is TO take it through Alaska in
bond for British territory beyond. Be
ing prohibited there, a bond is given Brit
ism customs officers to take it out in
specifed time. Means are found for the
taking Of it across the line into Alaska at
some point not watched by American Of
fcers.
1t is asserted that in this way l2oo gal
Ions of high proof spirits were distributed
among Yukon mining camps last season.
BY diuting, the quantity was increased to
2.4OO gallons, which sold for $25 per gal
Ion. netting a profit to the smugslers OF
$4,000. Similar though smaller, ship
ments are being made this year.
