The Police Calendar
Although this is an, orderly
and law abiding community, the
small police force allowed by the
authorities is overworked. With

gin in. the illicit sale of liquor
multiply, and the officers find it
hard to cope with the situation.
Cases of intoxicated Indians av-
erage one a day, and as they en-
tail investigation and the pros-
ecution of suppliers when found,
are sufficient in themselves to
keep the constables busy. Dur-
ing the week Robbins, an Indian,
and Garl Gustafson were fined
respectively $100 and $800 for
supplying liquor toIndians. For
the sameoffense Milich Vukovich
