Here Probst succeeded in getting
the Canadians to cross the border
about two rods, and they had no
more than done SO when Deputy
Sheriff Maher and Archie Falzdot
covered the three with guns, and
told them they were under arrest.
When asked who the whiskey be-

Bottineau county is favorite port
of entry" because of the level land,
but many runners who carry, stuff
to Minneapolis drive past the Turtle
Mountains on the Canadian side and
then cross.
The whisky is paced in sacks to

is claimed by inspectors that they
found 60 cases of liquor in two cars,
the "retail price" of the liquor be-
ing about $4,000.
So swiftly do the whisky runners
drive that farmers near the border
are afraid TO get out on the road at
night. All types of men operate, it
is said. The man who was killed

and four children. and his wife

HIHE|SH TERRITORIES

Paris, April 12.--Nothing has us yet
been decided as to Premier Mlllerand's
attendance at the supreme council
meeting AT San Reno, and It was de
cared today In n reliable source that
II the conference there was to discuss
the misunderstanding between France
and Great Britain he would not go at
all.
A personal talk on the subject with
Premier Lloyd George would be well
coined by tho French premier, II Mr..
Lloyd George could lind It convenient
to come to Paris, but II is considered
in official circles that as the point
at issue interests France and Great
Britain only, it is needless to discuss
II before the representatives. Of the
other powers.
1t is held hero that the British gov.
ernment in perslsting in the discus
sion has put the matter in n form
where it is difficult to see what sat.

Premier Millerands reply TO the
latest British note has not yet been
made public, but it is declared to
make no material change in the sit.
uation. 1t expresses regret that there
has been occasion for any contro-
versy. but 1t points out that if France
acted alone in her occupation east
OF the Rhine. 1t was because she
was left alone in the fact Of 4
situation which required prompt ac-
ton.
The note assures Great Britain that
France IS determined to remain faith
ful TO the alliance, but it intimates
that the government cannot promise
to abstain from defending the inter-
esta conhded to 1t. when its action
Is not contrary to the objects of that
alliance.
The foreign office has not received

ARDMORE WATER SUPPLY
LOWEST IN YEARS, REAL
DAN GER LINE At HAND

Those who have recently investlgat-
ed the water situation are very much
alarmed over the danger imminent
that Ardmore will be without fire pro.
lection.
j.. N. Leeper, day man at the pump
station, is of the opinion that he can
pump about one week longer with the
siphons as they are now.
He says he has to prime these 81.
phone every 80 minutes, while as
far back as a month ago he had to
prime them about every one hour.
Water in the city lake is full 20
feet below high water mark and 1t
is below any level mark that the lake
has ever shown heretofore.
Mr.. Lcepcr IS of the opinion that
we can have water for 60 days for
fire protection, but that seems very
doubtful as the water in the lake is
very low and very muddy now.
The settling basins cannot be used
for the reason that they are now high.
er than the siphons and the siphons
must be lowered IL we get water for
as much as a week longer from the
lake. An effort was made TO see Mr..
Snelson, contractor on the pipe line,
and also the mayor at the noon
hour. but they could not be seen
and it Is not known just when water
will come from the mountain creek,
but that water must be got here i'm
medately If this city is given the
protection that It ought to have.
Mr.. Snelson, it is understood, has
been promising for several days that
he would be ready to put water into
the pump station, but he has not
done so yet and just when that will
be done Is not known. 1t is high
time for Ardmore to become alarm.
ed over the water situation and If the
construction company needs any.
thing, those necessities should be pro
vided by the business men Of the city.
It is absolutely imperative that Ard
more look first above everything else
to its supply Of water.
