INDIAN SMUGGLERS
CHINESE DISGUISED AS SOUAwS
sMUGGLED IN CANOES
Many Mongolians Said to Have Been Re-
Gently Landed at Points Near Seattle.
Forged Certificates Furnished Them
by White Men.

According to the Seattle papers the
customs officers lat that port have
learned that for SOME time past In
dians have been engaged in the u-
crative occupation of smuggling Chi
nese across the Canadian boundary"
fact of which the customs officer here
has been advised for several months
and which was duly communicated 10y
him to the collector Of the district. 1t
Is not the custom of the collectors
office to get brass band and make q
great hulabaloo about such matters,
and if the RI. and.the Times were as
eager to serve the interests of the gov
ernmentand the public in preventing
the smuggling of Chinese and opium
as they are to print news under ''scare
heads" they would refrain from pre-
maturely exposing the clever plans OF
smugglers as soon as they happen to
stumble upon all inkling Of them.
The P.-I. story says that "the In
dians engaged in Chinese smuggling
take their canoes up the Sound to Brit
ish Columbia waters. There, through
agents, they are supplied with load
of four or five Chinese who want TO
become residents of the United States.
The price paid by the passengers ranges
from $50 to $3.50 head. AS soon us
the Mongolians are taken as passengers
they are Invested of their native garb
and furnished with the wardrobe of
squaw. Then they are seated or slowed
away in the canoe and. the voyage
down the Sound is begung
ut is said that it usually takes three
days to make the trip, and a landing is
made at some point where the Indians
are. accustomed to gather at Ballard,
North Seattle or other points near Se-
attles The landing is timed so that
whsn the boat arrives it is met by
number of squaws, and the disguised
Chinese soon disembark and mingle
with the Indian women. They are
then escorted to place where it is safe
to change their garb and are turned
loose. They then scatter about and
are taken care of by their countrymen
until such time as it is safe to appear
in public.
ut is believed that within the past
month the Indians have landed many
Chinese in the country. 1t is even in
timated that the Indians are not the
authors of the business. 1t is said by
parties from British Columbia that
white men are al the head of the oper-
ations, and that the Indians are only
employed by them. However, those
familiar with the methods of the Indian
do not believe this statement. They
say that when the Indian does go into
anything thatis liable to get him into
trouble he does not take white man
in with him.
,'There is another side to the matter
which is being investigated. There iE
report to the effect that the Indians
are working in conjunction with a
gang on this side of the line who, on,
the arrival of the Chinese, furnish
them with forged certificates and with
these they have been able to pass mus
ter when any question was raised about
their presence until the forgeries were
discovered few weeks ago."

For a quarter Of a century there has
been a depression and the southeast
corner of Seventh and Buchanan that
fills with water after every rain, and
have not had enough influence with
the street commissioner or your body
to get it abated. Seventh street from
Buchanan to Clay is in a worse fix than
any other portion of street in Topeka.
Three sewers have been built parallel
to each other and every time this has
broken UP the streets and ruined the
parks.

remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has loag been the standard
and main reliance in the treatment of

all this time no case has ever been re-
ported to the manufacturers in which it
failed to effect cure. When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse or even
as soon as the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is pleasant
