Great Northern Railway Comp any Proved Bigger Than
 Expected

The infamous dry squad of Seattle, whose actions in the past have entan- gIed the city in thousands of dollars in claims for damages, ran against snag when it, without due process of law, raided a dining car of the Great Northern in the local passenger yard recently. Some 200 bottles of various wines and liquors were seized and talk en to police headquarters. The follow ing morning all the liquor had to be re- turned with an apology to the railroad com pany, as there is a clause in the prohibition law which permits railroad companies to carry liquor in dining cars within the state of Washington, provided it is locked up and under tn" supervision of responsible officials. Railroads operate through many stf- tes, and in this particular case the Oil ly prohibition state through which the through trains of the Great Northern operate is Washington and there can be no argument against the statement that discriminating travelling public looks to the modern dining car for complete supply of both food and drink and if the one state which is prohi- hition could dictate the conduct of dining cars operating through from ~ '-~r-0 # would not only greatly ham
