A HARD ROUTE.

Okanogan county affords little in
ducement as a route for bootleggers.
A large number of rum runners have
been captured in this county recently
and the cars and booze cargOes that
have been seized represent huge
investment.
It's a risky business too. Only a
few weeks ago a bootlegger was shot
and badly wounded and then knocked
ont with the butt end Of gun by the
plucky deputy sheriff at Nelson. This
week a bootlegger was shot and Kill
Led. Truly "the way Of the trans
gressor Is hard.
But good American citizens live In
Okanogan county who uphold the
American flag, constitution and laws
and there Is no harbor here for out
laws who defy the government.
To Sheriff Ell ]. Wilson and his
able deputies belongs the major por
don of the credit for the bright out
look for law enforcement in Okanog
M county. They are performing thei
sworn duties nobly and well.
Because of its large area ana loca
tion at the boundary Okanogan coun
~ makes the task of sheriff ex
tremely difficult. Yet in no county Il
the state has the sheriff's office mad
n more excellent record.
Congratulations Sheriff Wilson!

sible to keep up with the demand for
store rooms and residences. The con-
sequence is that rents are something
fierce, and incidentally the cost Of
building is high. Three small apart

man is in luck who can find five or

Store rooms rent much higher.
bootblack stand some Sx1O, on a back
business street, is rented for $50 per
month. 1t would probably rent for
500 if a block closer in. These rents
are possible because of the shortage
of accommodations and the constantly
growing demand for rooms.
Business in every line seems to be
rushing. Public utilities are overload

you want anything done it will be
