LOG VIGIL IS IN VAIN Sheriff Roberta and Constable Nixon Watch Road for Week, but find All Northbound Autos Empty Liquor May Ho Cached. After a week ot patrolling the various roads of Central Oregon by which It would be possible to bring liquor in from tbe south, Sheriff S. E. Roberts and Constable L. A. W. Nixon have come to the conclusion that the whiskey running business isn't what It used to be. Where loads of liquid contraband" were be ing picked up a few weeks ago with comparatively little difficulty, the two officers didn't even smell a broken bottle. Sheriff Roberts re ported on his return this morning. Smugglers' Rink Great. The game Is no longer worth the candle, one chronic bootlegger told the officials after they had stopped his northbound car and found it empty. Two weeks before he had gone to California with $5000 which he intended to invest in a stock ot wet goods. The liquor was in Cali fornia all right, and it had dropped 60 per cent.

Much Liquor Thought Cached. Numerous tips were given the of- -flcials, that loaded cars were coming, but in every instance Investigation proved that the Imagination ot the informer had merely been working overtime. It Is quite possible, Mr. Roberts states, that a number ot caches may have been made in tk. vicinity of La Pino and Crescent earlier in tbe year, at a time when a large share of the cars making the hard trip from the California line through Central Oregon were loaded with liquor, but he believes that no attempt will be made to re move the contents for Bix or eight weeks at least. As for the possibil ity of any more shipments from the '- south well, war-time prohibition goes into effect tomorrow, and will make the moving of liquor from State to state a highly hazardous undertaking. Fifteen Cases Stolen. To one cache where liquor had been lildden, Sheriff Roberts and Mr. Nixon were guided by the owner ot the whiskey, which he said totalled 16 cases, but the whiskey was gone. and had apparently been taken only a few minutes before their arrival. According to the story told them by their guide, he had traveled behind another liquor laden car which had come in from California two weeks before. The leading car, on ap proaching Crscent, was warned that officials were on the road and Imme diately dashed off into the sagebrush, returning with no cargo, to warn the (Continued on Pago Two.)
