CAPTAIN SPEIER WILL AID Mr. Hurlburt Believes Bootleggers Are Those Who Prowl About Waterfront Property Under Cover of Darkness. Authority to establish a night har bor patrol to work in harmony with the Portland Harbor Patrol as a means of safeguarding property along the riverfront was granted, to Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday after a brief con ference with the County Commission ers. Captain Speier, of the Portland Harbor Patrol, was present at the con ference and willingly offered to co operate with the county in every par ticular. Captain Speier called attention to the fact that his department is keep ing a close watch of the harbor at night as well as in the day, but de clared that more efficient service could be rendered if there were at least one more patrol boat in opera tion. Sheriff Hurlburt was directed to confer with Captain Speier to work out all details of the proposed patrol, after which his recommendations will be acted on by the Board. Sheriff Hurlburt is strongly of the belief that bootleggers operate in the lower harbor during the dark hours of the night and he is convinced that a county patrol boat will prove of great assistance in stopping this illegal traffic In liquor. "Several reports have reached me at different times that boats coming up the river have dropped off cargoes of liquor In the lower harbor and that smaller boats then put out from the nearby shores to gather in the wet goods," said Sheriff Hurlburt yester day. "It is my belief that many of these night prowlers along the river are nothing more than bootleggers engaged in their Illicit work, which can be brought to a halt through the establishment of thiB night patrol to work in conjunction with the Port land Harbor Patrol."

It means the end of food speculation and the end of our lone-handed fight in Portland to care for our thousands of satisfied customers. And until this law is passed and effective we will continue to sell standard well-known goods on the basis of cost to us not on the cost of replacing them.
