BOOZE SMUGGLING
BY AIR DISCLOSED

A dream Of wholesale liquor
smuggling by airplane was disclosed
in Fargo Thursday when the purpose
Of visit d to the city by Chicago
prohibition authorities and made pub
lie by Lieut.. J. Earl Fladeland, North
Dakota aviator. An effort to locate
the Chicago man" today was un-
successful. 1t is believed he has re-
turned to Chicago.
/ Lane Maloney, prohibition chief Of
the North Dakota district, Fladeland
said, was notified of the proposed
meeting of the Chicago man and him
self. Fladeland states that he came to
Fargo in response to a message
reading in part, 1T is of vital i'm
portance and will net you a fortune"
The plan was to establish base
at lake Nipigon, in the unsettled
section of Ontario, and one at Mile
Laos, the largest body of water be-
tween the twin cities and Duluth.
Three or four twin-motored 900
horsepower Martin bombing air
planes, equipped with exhaust
heated cockpits, muffled motors and
skis were to be put into service
These planes are capable, it is said,
of carrying $500 pounds and would
land on the ice at either terminal.
They would chop off" three hours
before daylight each morning on the
4OO-mile flight to Lake Nipigon. Here
gas, oil and the illicit cargo. "mushed"
through the snowbound timber with
dog teams, would be taken on and
Immediately whisked off above the,
heavy, low-hanging screen of
clouds characteristic of winter in the
north country.
Upon landing at Mile Laos, the
transfer of the liquor to "fish" cases
would be taken care Of by adequate
machinery. Then shipment would be
made to Chicago by freight to the
syndicate operating for the socalled
exclusive clubs the Chicago man pur-
ported to be representing. Plans
were even made to bride or ward off
suspicion of stray hunters or trap
pers who might happen onto their
terminals.
Lieutenant Fladeland says that he
has refused several similar oppor-
tunities, all carefully planned with
unlimited capital behind them, and
that he had no idea Of entering into
this one. even though the Chicago
man spent several hours endeavoring
to influence him, going as far as to !
a handsome reward for
his work in the next five months.

About eighty-fve business men
were present Tuesday evening at the
annual meeting of the Valley City
Commercial Club, which was held in
the banquet room Of the Rudolf hotel.
A delicious turkey banquet was serv-
ed by r. Geselius, which was inn
mensely enjoyed by the members. (
j. H. s. Thomson, president Of the
club, gave briefly an outline Of the
clubs work during the past year, and
the business transacted by the club.
The business Of the evening was tran
sacted between courses.
Secretary I. ]. Moe made an ex-
cellent appeal to the club members for
cooperation and assistance during the
coming year, and outlined in detail
many of the problems which are con-
fronting the club, and which he hoped
would be taken up and disposed of dur
ing the coming year. His talk
branched mainly along lines of what
Valley City needs. Some of the most
important things mentioned by the
speaker are:
A place of recreation, or sort of
club for the young men and boys OF
the city, where they could spend their
leisure hours instead of being forced
to stand on the street corners or in
habit pool halls. AS many other cities
in the state have similar places for
the young men of their cities, it would
be falling down on the job if Valley
City did not provide such place.
Paving was advocated by the secre-
tary, declaring that Valley City had
reached the size where she could well
afford an extended system Of paved
streets, and urged the club to get be-
hind the matter and boost for paving.
Another important factor which
Valley City needs and it is believed

Leaving Lne business SecClOn we were
driven by Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons all
over the residence sections for miles
and found some most beautiful boule-
wards and parks, handsome residence
districts, all of which go to make a
fine city. Milwaukee has some won
derfully beautiful parks and at Wash
ington Park they have a great zoo
which is a source Of delight to both
old and young. The editor was visit
ing the public museum one forenoon,
and this is great institution, when in
tramped several hundred school chill
dren in charge Of their teachers. They
were fifth grade pupils and in talking
with the professor who gave the lee
lures he informed US that these child
rem visited this institution twice Ia year
to receive lectures from the studies
they had taken in school. On this
particular day they were being given
lectures on transportation from the
time of Adam up to the present mod
ern times. We were invited to return
there few days later to hear series
of lectures by some of the professors
but we were unable to be back. The
editor called on the managing editor
of the Milwaukee Journal and as soon
as he knew we were from North Da-
kota he wanted to hear all about the
nonpartisan league and asked us to
give them an interview. We are al
ways glad to be accommodating when
it comes to anything Of this sort and
we told them what we knew about this
dismal industrial failure we have here
and it seemed to please them. They
published considerable of our inter-
view. Wisconsin is having some time
with nonpartisans and they want all
the light they can get to help throw
off this leprosy.
We enjoyed very nice visit with
Mr.. Oswal O. Wagley, former Valley
City resident. Mr.. Wagley is one of
the V. C: young men who has made
good. He has very lucrative position
as manager Of the city municipal light
and water plant. position which car
ries great responsibility as we'll as a
fine salary. He is one of the rising
business men Of Milwaukee. Mr..
Wagley invited US to remain over a
day to go to luncheon with him and
to talk to the Milwaukee business men
on the nonpartisan league saying
that at least one thousand of them
would be out if we accepted. We
had made our arrangements to leave
early the next day so could not accept
the invitation.
We enjoyed our visit very much
with "our children" and it was with a
rather heavy heart that we babe them
goodbye last Thursday and started
back for Valley City, but glad just
the same that we were coming back,
because you know there is no place
like home and the friends by which
you are surrounded, and we feel we
have lots of them here, so we arrived
back on the job Friday night last,
having had one of the most delight
full and most educational trips we have
ever taken.
