CANNERS BLOCK WHITE BILL
The fish canners apparentlc would
like to co in swimming if they did
not have to go near the water. In
other words they want the fish pre
served so long as they can Ash with
out molestation. The purse seim rs
and trill netters are demanding the
abolition of traps, while the trapmen
want the purse seiners stopped,
claiming they break up the schools,
and chase the salmon a\va\ Irom the
spawning streams. All agree that
if the present intensive fishing is
kept up there will be no Asli within
another cycle or two of spawning.
Unless one side or the other gives
in, or the fisheries bureau stops Ash
ing altogether, there will be no fish
where formerly the streams were
packed The fight between the fish
ermen and the trap is an economic
one, anil is the same battle that raged
around Puget Sound until the fish
were exterminated. The purse seiners
and gill netters naturally want to
handle the fish pack Tom their boats
as this method gives employment tc
a greater number of men than do tht
traps. Prices are also much bettei
On the trap men’s side they clain
they cannot operate at a profit anti

Spokane Rum Runners
Play Horse with Sheriff
SPOKANE, May 2—Airplane rum
runners and law authorities of this
district are engaged in a game of tag
with the ‘“Scotch air fleet” apparently
enjoying a decided advantage at this
time, according to city and county po
lice officials. Inability to cope with the
aerial liquor smugglers operating be-!
tween here and the Canadian line is i
admitted by the officials, who have j
no planes at their disposal for pursuit;
purposes.
Since the advent of the particular
aerial squadron now operating in this
territory, it has never lost a plane, ac- j
cording to the officers. Parts of the
cargoes have been seized after being
transferred to automobiles but the
authorities never have come close
enough to capture a plane.
With desirable airplane landing
conditions extending over a radius of
from ten to fifty miles, the officers
using automobiles find themselves
hard put to cope with the fliers. A
tri-weekly liquor running schedule is
known to be in effect, and the offi
cials claim landings are made in wide
ly varying districts, sometimes a hun
dred miles from the preceding deliv
ery .
“The airplane runners are operat
ing steadily and are starting from this
city,” Deputy Sheriff J. S. Bradley
stated. “However, they are landing in
Lincoln, Stevens and other nearby
counties where we have no power to
make arrests.”
According to the police the rum
runners are candid about their busi
ness, making no effort to conceal the
fact that they are leaving Spokane en
route to the Canadian border. They j
are reported to have recently inaugur-;
ated a system of running planes in
pairs. This arrangement was effected,!
according to word reaching authori
ties through unofficial channels, for
mutual protection.
Under the plan safe delivery of car
goes is assured, it was stated, for if

one plane should go down, the other is
in a position to complete the journey
and then return to pick up the other
load.
“Air plane liquor running has cut
down enormously automobile rum run
ning. From different sources informa
tion is received that the liquor run in
to this county by air plane is taken in
automobiles for a radius of several
hundred miles. Some of the planes
even make longer trips to deliver their
loads into Oregon and even further
south into other states.
