OPIUM RAID
BRINGS DOWN
PRICE Of DOPE

It is an Ill wind that blows nobody
good and throughout Chinatown the re-
suit of the recent anti-opium furry on
the part of the United States district
attorney has brought great joy. Prior
to the raid on the premises Of Lee Let
the seductive poppy juice had been on
the jump, like EVA stock the day before
an extra dividend. From fourteen dol
lars pound it had scared to twenty
seven and bade fair to get higher than
either of the Wright brothers. Stocks
were boarded for the rise and in every
dope joint great gloom prevailed.
Then came the raid and with it a
bear movement. For day or two
there was a scurrying to cover and not
a tael of the stuff that brings elesysian
was to be had for love or money. Then
ecame the movement to unload before
Breckons got over his disappointment
at not finding the goods on Lee Let.
At present the market is flooded and
the price is being cut for ready buyers.
1t is reported that four hundred
pounds are already on sale at an upset
price of twenty-three, with prospects
of further jettisoning to add to the sag
of the falling market. 1t is predicted
that the finest gnade of contraband dope
viii soon be looking for purchasers
at the cut rate of twenty and many
prospective fortunes have passed into
the red side of the ledger.
Most of the contraband comes via
Victoria and is delivered here minus
the pure food stamp and the revenue
mark. To remedy this lack, the dope
is transferred from the original pack
age into tins which have vlee done ser
vice and which carry in whole or part
a government stamp. In all the dope
Joints a search for used tins is being
made, the price for discards having
gone up to five cents per tin. Here
tofore these tins were tossed into the
scrap pile. but the offer has brought
many to light.

Announcement

To THE VOTERS OF PIERCE COUNTY:
In aspiring for election to the Of
fee of County Superintendent of
Schools in this county, l am deeply
sensible to the many duties and
grave responsibilities that it places
upon one. The office is an impor-
tant one, having such tremendous
bearing upon our children's moral
and intellectual training. ] believe
that the duties of the Office demand:
not only one who has been a sue
cessful teacher and supervising
Principal, but also one who posses
ses tact and ability in meeting men.
l further believe that the County
Superintendent should appreciate
the fact that the schools are essen
TALLY institutions of the people; that
he is a servant, willing to take de-
cisive stand on important educa-
tional questions but just as willing
to confer with, and harmoniously
work with, school-board members
and patrons OF the schools.
Like many another, | can not
claim Pierce county as the place of
my birth, but 1 believe that those
knowing me will be generous
enough to state that during the past
six years l have given as faithful
and interested service to our schools
as though l had been a product of
the county. 1t is on results secured
that we all ask for recognition of
our value, and | desire to leave it TO
your judgment as to whether my
continued service in Pierce county
schools does not merit your sup
port.
Our county is a large one. If you
are one of those that have not had
the opportunity of interviewing per-
sonally, please consider that it is
not because l will not appreciate
your support, but rather that my
school-work has not permitted me
to form as many personal acquaint-
ances as | have wished to. |
think that you will agree with me
that it would be poor recommend
alton for the SUPPLEMENTARY had
neglected my school duties here to
promote my candidacy.
l am a graduate of the Stanley
High School; received my normal
training at the Oshkosh Normal
and have credits for one summers
work at the University of WiScon-
sin. l secured a state certificate by
