TROUBLE FOR JUNK DEALERS.
Licenses of Several Suspected Men May
Be Taken Away.

officers Murphy and Moore made a
clever capture Christmas eve while
trailing copper thieves.
The officers discovered stolen copper
in a junk store at Platinum and Ari-
iona streets and lay in wait for the per-
sons, who were expected back with an
other lot of ore.
Three boys, Will Burns, Frank Nc
Alice and Morris Thompson, appeared
with a sack of copper taken from below
the Anaconda mine.
The trio was arrested and locked up.
Today it developed that McAlfee was
ar innocent participant in the sale, and
the case against him was dismissed.
Burns and Thompson will be held for
further investigation.
The chief of police is seriously consid-
ering the advisability of cancelling the
licenses of several junk dealers who have
been suspected of buying ore and other
stolen property from boys.
An ordinance against such purchases
exists and there is likelihood of one or
more dealers losing their licenses.

THE THRIFTY WILTSHIRE,

1t is poor faker who cannot profit
by the free advertising he gets when
the hand of the law is laid upon him. AS
an illustration of the benefits Of an i'll
wind the recent success of Wiishire's
Magazine is notable. This publication
was eking out a precarious existence
by pretending to advocate doctrines
which, if put in practice, would usher in
the millennium in few days. 1t was a
publication that loved the man with the
pick and shovel in one hand for the dol
lar he had in the other. Third Assistant
Postmaster General Madden began weed
Ing out the bogus publications from the
mails and the magazine published by
Wiltshire failed to prove it's right to
subscription list that was suitable in
size and character to antit.e it to
place in the second-class mail. So the
lurid monthly was excluded from second
class mail privileges along with hum
dreds of other similar publications. Now
Wiltshire has removed to Canada,
formed company, and is starring his
magazine as the only organ of the
CoNHlIOuueH poor tndt was ever BAN
ished from its native country. Sup
pressed by the postal authorities' is the
trademark of the self-exiled editor. He's
making the scheme win, too. Other pub
LEGATIONS which failed to measure up to
the required standard AMI were re-
quired to pay postage have
taken their medicinesand said nothing.
They regarded the ruling of the econom-
ical postal department as a hardship,
but failed to turn it to good account as
Wiltshire has. There is no such thing in
the plans of the postal department as
Excluding publication from the mails"
If the publisher has the money to buy
stamps. With consummate cheek Will
shire pretends that the ruling of the
postal authorities with reference to his
brilliant monthly publica ton has sup
piled him with credentials to pose as a
martyr. The dodge has been tried before
but not often with such success as is
attending Wilshire's ventura

early age. He wandered all over Russia,
undergoing such privations and suffer

commit suicide. At last, after herding

both in Europe and in Asia. he discov-

WINNING the EAST.

There is reason to believe that govern
ment irrigation is rapidly winning
friends in Eastern states. There has been
a well-grounded belief that the East
would object to the expenditure Of public
money for the benefit of the Western
sect.cn. Large appropriations are asked
for each year by the Atlantic coast
states and there was little hope that
Eastern newspapers would speak an en-
coura ging word for project which would
involve the expenditure of public funds
in a remote region. 1t is in the nature
of a surprise, therefore, that the at
ttude of the Boston Transcript toward
Western irrigation is learned by resi-
dents of the West. In recent issue
the Transcript speaks for government ir-
rigation in terms Of unqualified favor.
1t sets forth the strong points of the
project as follows:
1T is probable that our people. espe-
cially in the East. have not begun to
realize the vast potentialities of a re-
gion that is now worse than useless be-
cause it is in the way of other sections
that might be more successfully COM
pacted without it than with it in its
present sluggish and inert condition. But
there is a special as we'll as general
reason why it is the part of patrio tism
to redeem this territory. AS the officers
of the association declare, it is the
central and controlling motive and object
of the national irrigation movement to
create millions of happy and prosperous
American homes in parts of our territory
now utterly desolate and uninha bitable,
and to do this in a way that will beyond
all question benefit every class of our
people and every section of our coun-
try To do this these lands must be
reserved for actual settlers. The gov
eminent must take absolute control of
their development and give spectators
and syndicates no partnership in the mat
ter. The project is so vast, so feasible,
SO beneficent in its possibilities and so
thoroughly American that it is one of
the questions that ought to have the
earliest, the most thorough and the most
honest consideration that congress can
give it,

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CONFERENCE.
(New York Tribune.)

The new International Sugar confer
ence at Brussels serves to call attention
to the great growth of the sugar in
dustry in Europe. That industry had
already reached large proportions at the
date of the last conference. Since then,
however. the increase has proceeded at
an accelerated pace. probably encourl
aged by the failure of the conference I'd
abolish the bounty system-which fall
ure was chiefly due to Russia's immov,
able persistence in what is practically a
bounty system. There are also nations
represented in this conference which
were no. in the former one, and which
have now risen to important rank as
sugar producers and as potential eN-
porters. In the former conference there
were represented Great Britain. Ger
many. Austria Hungary. Belgiuniy Hol-
land. Spain Sweden. France and Russia
OF these the five first named favored the
total abolition of bounties, and the
sixth and seventh expressed willingness
to join in such action. France was will
ing to abolish export bOunties, but
wished to retain them in the domestic
trade. Russia adopted an attitude much
like that which Chile essayed to assume
toward arbitration in the Parliament
can Congress-she refused to discuss the
question whether or not she had a
bounty system-and now she declines to
take part at all in the new conference.
In addition to the states already
named. there are represented in the
present conference Italy. Roumania, Bull
garia, Servia. Denmark and Egypt. \
few years ago Italy had not single
sugar factory. Now she has Al, with
capacity for producing $4,000 tons
year. AS her domestic consumption of
