Y. t Dee. 111.—-Boot leggers throughout northern New York are wearing broad, genial smiles, as Santa Claus eamn early for them. And oil due to the fact that the province of Ontario —just across the border lines—has gone •'wet" by a huge majority. G. Howard Ferguson, leader of the conservatives in the recent provincial elections, made his campaign on a platform calling for the snle of liquor t under n government commission, as opposed to the present temperance act. Out of the 10!) members of the On tario Legislature 80 who had pledged themselves to support Mr. Ferguson have been elected. Hence the rejoicing among the boot leg fraternity in northern New York. No Sorrow' Apparent ♦ Investigation will also reveal there is nothing like sorrow and depression among the owners of summer resorts along the Canadian border ami in va rious other points in northern New York. | The deeision of the Ontnrion voters brings Rochester. Watertown, Cln.v ton. Oswego, Syracuse and scores of other communities miles and miles nearer the source of supply than be fore. It opens up a bug'll virgin field for the activities of the rum runners in that it shortens the route by many miles, falieitntes the transportation of wet goods across the lake as well ns the St. Lawrence River. The Thousand Islands with its hun dreds of summer hotels and pleasure , resorts is but a step away from what j is now moist territory and which in I t’lio past lias been more or less arid. !

I For years called “The Playgrounds of America,” the Thousand Island sec tion will undoubtedly more than ever richly deserve this title in the near future. But the real advantage of the boot- I loggers in tire change of policies rn the Ontario province is due to the fact; I that it shortens the route, either by I wnter or earth, over which the boot-! log liquor has to travel before it j reaches American hip pockets. Short- 1 cning of the distance means decreas- I ing danger of detection to the boot* loggers as compared with the long | dash through Rouse Point or other | j far distant northern New York points, j I ARGUMENTS ARE BEGUN IN FALL-DOHENY CASE i Case Will Go to Jury' Late Tomor row or Wednesday.
