WANTED-A JAIL.

The eight men taken In last weeks
booze raid while transporting liquor
eargoes valued at $4,000 were given
fines totaling $3.50 and then released
under suspended sentences Of six
months each.
Commenting upon these sentences
Prosecuting Attorney VIM. OConnor
who was in Oroville Monday
said, 81 either have to send them all
to the federal court at Spokane which
would result in the loss to Okanogan
county of the money that we would
obtain from fines or recommend that
they be given suspended sentences
for we have no place to keep them.
The profits from one successful trip
would more than pay the total fines
of the eight men. And suspended
sentences are no punishment for boot
leggers. Yet OkanOgan county could
not place them in it's Jail when there
was no room for them.
The officers have made an excellent
record in performing their duties, but
there Is no encouragement for a
sheriff to risk his life in arresting
bOotleggers when they are immediate
~ released again.
The present Jail Is like sieve.
Prisoners cannot be kept there at all
unless the officers remain on guard
day and night.
Those who have investigated the
matter estimate that an adequate
fail could be provided for $4,000. Sure
ly county that spends several times
that amount for roads or for the
building of bridge can spare such
small sum for county jail.

THE RUM-RUNNERS
n TRAGIC DRAMA.

We are wondering if the readers OF
the Daily World sense the spectacular
In the events that have been trans
piring in the Okanogan and North
story at once tragic and gripping,
but it is more than that-it is the sto-
~ of the issue of this country. From
Canada, winding through and along
the valley, up over the mountains,
down through the unfrequented roads,
comes the caravan of eight automo-
bIles. The automobiles are loaded with
liquor and the men who accompany
them are armed for any battle that
may be necessary in order to force
their Illicit liquor to Spokane and 9th
eI points.
It is a movie altogether more grip
ming than any that has been shown In
the local theaters for years.
There Is trouble with one car. The
deputy sheriff coming down on the
train has a suspicion that 1t Is rum
running car. Finding that his suspic-
IONS are we'll grounded he goes on to
Okanogan. A sheriffs posse is soon
organized and up the Corkscrew grade
they went. Even the name 'Corkscrew
Grade lends color to the picture. The
capture of the men as they were hav'
ing drink of some Of the liquor
which they were carrying-the cal
