ris, supervising inspector of the i'm migration service here. The Huds peth bill, now pending in congress would meet this need and help ir ridding the country of bolshevik ane other radical elements, Ire said, as well as furnish increased power necessary to combat drug and intox. icating liquor smugglers.
 Establishment of houses of de- tention, such as Ellis Island, Mr Harris declared, would not effect ively prevent the entry of "undesir- ables" unless the government stretches a cordon along the Mex ican border through which such per- sons could not easily pass.
 Ut is true," continued the immf- grafton official, "that we have at present fourteen stations along the Mexican border from the Gulf to the Pacific coast, established to guard the border. But when you take into consideration that hun dreds of miles separate several of these stations, it is not to be ex- coped with successfully, or that we can prevent the entry into our country of undesirable aliens or stop the smuggling of whiskey and livestock which is daily being ac- complished with little danger of de- tection."
 Smuggling across the border is ~preading "to an alarming degree" MT. Harris added.

WILL BEGIN WORK
 TO RECLAIM THE zUyDER ZEE PROJECT
Would Restore to Holland the
 Land She Has
 Lost

The Hague, Jan. 23.-Work is to
 begin this year on the retaining of
 the Zuyder Zee, one of the world, greatest engineering projects, by which it is proposed to restore to
 Holland within 35 years what was once hers but was taken away by the storms of many centuries When the work is finished, not only the original land will be re- stored but many thousands of acres which always have been beneath the sea will be ready for cultivation.
 According to pre-war estimates the entire work of retaining the Zuyder Zee would have cost approx increased cost of labor and mate rials in the past six years, it is now believed the cost will be we'll in excess of $125,O00. The work will be done and paid for by the state, through special loans, and and the state through rental of the land reclaimed, expects the scheme to pay for itself within a few years and thereafter yield handsome rev enue.
 The total amount of land to be re, claimed will be 827 square miles, Whlcn Will constitute twelfth prov ince of Holland, capable of support ing population of 30O,OOO, and wherein several cities of ancient trading fame are expected to be- re- stored to commercial importance.
 The engineering work is now well under way.
 Centuries ago, at the beginning of the Christian era when the Romans had their, settlements in Holland, much of the space now occupied by the Zuyder Zee was land and the south part of the present sea was lake called Flevo. Northwest tenn pests swept the North Sea washing away the tract of dry land between the sea and the lake. One large, shallow body of water-the Zuyder Zee-was formed.
 The towns situated on its banks, throve as the merchantmen came in- to their ports. But, as ships became larger and of deeper draft traffic was diverted to deeper seas. leaving the once famouss towns on the Zuy- der's shores mere fishing villages, which they are now, while Amster. dams commerce came to her through

LEAV|TT PLANS TO

 PLOTS AT MIDWAY
School, Store, Church and Mills Are Contem-

Plans for colonizing the entire sec tion in Jefferson and Grant county near Midway park, recently pur- chased by C. M. Leavitt, were an- nounced by Leavitt yesterday.
 Leavitt who is to retire as a mer- chant stated that he will actively engage in the realty business and that he has taken over 1,500 acres of cut over land formerly held by the Sawyer and Austin Lumber company. He has a colony of 15 families already settled near Mid way park, and plans to bring oth- CTS, he said. Plans are now being worked out, Leavitt said, for the building of church, store, school, grist mill and sawmill near Midway park. Leavitt recently bought the J. M. Baugh place near Midway park. This place, which includes 870 acres, he will improve and farm, he stated. He also has pur- chased three farms on the Warren road, including a total of 760 acres. and will farm these.

Old Tricks Being
 Revived by the
 Liquor Smugglers

Buffalo, Jan. 23.-Old tricks arc
 being revived and new ones invent
 ed by smugglers who are matching their wits against those of the GUS
 toms officials in an effort to bring contraband whiskey from Canada into the United States.
 The tide of the whiskey movement which has for more than two years flowed from the United States into Canada has turned back. Of the same smugglers who tcok long chances to send liquor across the border into Canada now are at tempting to evade the American in- stead of Canadian laws.
 There has been partial lifting of the ban in Canada. The order-in- council issued by the Dominion gov ernment in wartime which prohibited inter- r-provincial traffic in intoxicat- ing liQuor, was rescinded on Decem- Der 31
 Ontario still has dry law pro- hibiting the sale of liquor across bars or in any way except by gov ernment vendor upon an order from a physician. This Ontario law, how ever, can not prevent inter-province traffic by mail and express. Con- sequently Americans who want to take chances with the customs laws have experienced little difficulty in having liquor delivered at the Unit ed States border.
 Some of tn tricks used to evade detection by Canadian customs ln- spectors when the movement of h- quor from the United States to Can ada was in progress were very in- genious. Spare tires on automobiles turned out to be receptacles for contraband wet goods. Partitioned gasoline tanks served the same pur- pose. A hot water bottle used by a woman feigning illness was found to contain whiskey. A carload of scrap iron billed from Detroit to Buffalo was sidetracked somewhere in Ontario and whiskey was substl- tuted for the iron. The liquor was seized at Buffalo.
 Customs officers here expect a re- vival of these tricks and develop ment of others in order to bring Il. quor from Canada into the United States. The force of inspectors on this side of the Niagara river from Buffalo to Fort Niagara has been increased.

 Dr. A. A. Beekman, of The Hague who has devoted nearly all his life to the ideal of retaining the Zuy- der Zee, explained the plans to the Associated Press correspondent. He is now a member of the State Coun- cil which will carry out the work
 "The first thing to do," said Dr. Beekman, "is to construct gigan- tic dike to keep out the North Sea This will be 30 miles long, stretch ing from Wieringen to the Frisian coast, where the water ranges in depth from B to II feet. It will be everywhere 16 to IT feet above the sea level. There will be a double track railway on top of the dike. Its construction will take nine years, and it's cost, by pre-war estimates, will be more than >2U,- OOO,OOO.
 "The total surface to be reclaimed is 827 square miles. There will re- main a lake of 600 square miles which will act as a reservoir dur. ing the periods when, owing to northwestern storms, the waters of the river Yssel and of the canals can not be emptied into the North Sea. The water of the lake will be let out into the North Sea through five great sluices at the Wieringen end of the dike. f,
 Most of the land to be reclaimed now lies IS feet beneath the sea level. Part of it is expected to be dry within IA years, as pumping out will begin as soon as the dike >is completed. The last of the land is expected to be dry within 35 years"
