Buittle, Aug. 20. One of the moat
clever methods of smuggling silk and
opium Into the United States from
Ilrltlth Columbia yet known haa been
discorcrcd by customs officers at Hlaln,
Wash., on tho International boundary
line. Trained dogs were used to carry
on the bnslnest'and the custom a officers
bollove that hundreds of rounds of the
contraband drug have been brouiht
into mis country in that manner. As
a result of the discovery by the officers
Thomas Smith is in custody awaiting
iriai on a cnarge or amuggiing.
The first Inkling that dogs were used
for smuggling camo a few days ago
when Officer Lano, of the Hellingham
station, shot a dog which he taw run
ning through Uie thick timber near
Ulalno. Thocanlnowas loaded down
with a leather saddle in which was
found three pounds ot opium and a
packago of silk. Where the dog camo
from and wheio he was going were
mysteries which tho officials at once
began to ferret out.
Tho officers took a coon dos with
thm to tho boundary line where the
first caninol was seen. For three daya
they waited before anothe- dog camo
along with a peck saddle on its back.
This time there wero three doga loaded
down with tho drug. The men let
them pats, and then, with tho aid of
the coon dog, they traced them to an
old ahsck near Wain. The officers
afterwards arrested Smith on a charco
of smuggling.
