INTO UTAH
A PROFITABLE BUSINESS

Since Idaho went dry one of the
most profitable occupations is ship
ing booze to near the Nevada Idaho
state line, where it is taken charge of
by unknown men and carried into
Idaho and sold by the bottle. Liquor
comes to Elko by the carload and Is
taken to the northern part of Elko
county by trucks, and when it reaches
ldaho Is brings $6 er quart bottle
worth ordinarily not over 80 cents.
In fact, bootlegging into Idaho
has grown to great proportions, and
in spite of the fact that officers are
closely watching the state line, small
fortunes are being made by men who
are not afraid of the risk-Free Press

brought to the attention of the federal
officers wherein charge of seditious
utterances against the United States
is claimed, is against Cesar Tim, who
was arrested by the local peace Of

worked in this section at different
times for the past several years.
After his arrest last week, the mat

investigating the circumstances.
He instructed the officers to hold the
prisoner and that within a few days
he would arrange to have him placed
in a detention camp

Phone Company
Purchase Lines

The United Farmers Telephone
and Telegraph company has just con-
ciuded a deal for the purchase OF the
Bryant telephone lines leading from
Gardnerville to Wellington and to
Topaz, which gives the local conf
pany entrance 10 two additional fields.
While the company has made no
announcement as TO their future plans
il is probable that the purchase of the
lines is the first step to n local sery-
ice IN both Smith and Antelope Val
leys.
The lines just purchased have
never been kept up and the service
has been anything but satisfactory.
The toll lines to the southern points
are To put in good condition a fact
that will be greatly appreciated by

EXCURSION
A SUCCESS

Over one hundred Carson Valley
people took advantage of the band
excursion on Lake Tahoe last Sunday
to make the trip around the lake.
The steamer Meteor with a large
barge, especially fitted out for excur-
sion parties, left the pier at Bijou at
8 a. m. returning to the same point at
$50 p. m. with tired but happy
crowd
Leaving Bijou the excursion party
headed for Cave Rock and was taken
in close to shore where splendid
view of the high cliff was secur d..
The first stop was made at G'enbrook
probably the most picturesque resCri
on the Lake. From this point the
boat went direct to Tahoe City where
stop of one hour was made for
lunch. The west short OF the Lake
was then skirted until Rubicon Point
was reached where a side trip was
made to Emerald Bay. After a
short stop at one of the resorts, the
trip to Biiou was completed.
During the day the band gave the
best they had and dancing was en-
joyed by all who cared to trip the
light fantastic on very rough floor
Nothing occurred on the trip to
mar the pleasure of the large party
and everyone declared they enjoyed
every moment of the boat ride.

MAY HAVE: TRIED
To FIRE MILL

One night last week unknp;.n par
ties emptied 80 gallon barrel of
engine oil belonging 10 the Gardne"-
Vile transportation company and
stored near the Douglas -four ill.
Guy Anderson heard noise about
midnight, and went to the window.
He whistled to his dog and at the
same moment saw man run across
the yard near the mill. Investigating
the next morning it was found that
the oil had been poured on the
ground. Near the oil was found two
boxes of matches, a pipe that was
nearly new, pocket knife and a
small pie of rubbish or shavings.
There is a mystery connected with
the affair and some are of the opinion
that an attempt was made to fire the
mill Finding the matches and pile
of shayings or sticks. coupled with
the fact that several barrels of disti-
late we're near the engine oil, could
it have been possible that the cur
who emptied the engine oil onto the
ground. believed that he had the
former highly inaamebe liquid.
From the fact that there is no
wheat stored in the mill at the pres
ent time and will not be until the fall
havest, gives rise To the idea that i.
the plan was to fire the mill, il was
at the hands OF an outsider unfamiliar
with crop conditions in this Valley.
