During the past Jiaar days, not an arreat has been i made in Ashland, and not one caso has been brought before-Clty Judie O. M. Frost for trial. This is something of a record, according to Chief of Police Mc­ Nabb. The chief declares that the Christmas holidays are un­ usually the time when liquor cheer flows quite freely, and that during the past, Christmas has been one-of the big times when arrests for intoxication and for the possession of intoxicating li­ quor were made. • "Perhaps,” said McNabb, "the blockade put into effect by the federal and state prohibition of­ ficers Just before the holidays, was responsible for the unusual “dryness" of the season. At any rate, there wasn’t as much ^rioon" and wine this year as during the past”. For several days prior to Christmas, an officer was on guard day and night at the junction of the Ashland - Klamath Falls highway, where all cars were stop­ ped and searched for liquor. But few arrests were made, however, and most of these were for poss­ essing small quantities of liquor, none over ten gallons. None of the reputed “bonded stuff” which la usually associated with the Christmas trade, was taken.
