BURGLARS IN OTHER CITIES.
Washington Not the Only Municipality
Infested

Washington is not the only place where
burglars have been operating during the
past few days. While it Is true that rob-
bers have caused some annoyance to the
local police the amount of plumber secured
by them has been comparatively small
Baltimore policemen and detectives have
been more troubled about robberies then the
members of Major Sylvester's force.
The local detectives are exceedingly anx-
ious to apprehend the men who entered
the home of Mr.. James J. Roche a few
nights ago and who also believed to
have visited other houses. Capt. Boardman
has had the members of his corps of de-
tectives doing extra duty, and Major Syl-
vester has given him the benefit of the
services of a number of policemen attired
In citizens clothes. These men have been
on the alert, but thus far without success.
Burglars have visited number of places
In this locality recently and several good
hauls have been made.
Near Front Royal, Va, one night this
week robbery was committed at private
residence and more plumber was secured
than was taken from score of houses in
this city. There was big haul made In
Baltimore one night this week, and the
police officials here have been asked to as
sist in the investigation of the case.
The records Of the police department. 1t Is
stated, show a larger percentage of stolen
goods recovered here than In most of the
other cities.

.FAVORS IRRIGATION
Result of a Canvass Made of
the House.
SENATE HAS ACTED
IMPORTANCE OF PENDING BILL
TO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
Views of Representative Jones, Who
Explains What is Proposed
and the Effects.

A quiet but systematic canvass Of the
House has been going on for some days to
ascertain the chances of getting the Senate
irrigation bill through Representative
Jones of Washington has been taking a
very active part in this canvass, and de-
clares that he has found a large majority
in the House in favor of the measure.
Should the bill become a law it will be
the first practical step the government has
taken toward retaining the vast arid
tracts of land on our western plains. The
system proposed is not one which involves
any vast outlay of money the part of
the government, as under the plan proposed
the work Is to pay for itself.
Mr.. Jones has found that there has been
considerable misunderstanding as to what
the bill really provides. When its provisions
are explained, he says, objection at once
vanishes. Briefly stated he gives the pro-
visions as follows:
That the proceeds of the sale and dis
poSal of the public lands in certain states
and territories, after deducting fees of reg
listers and receivers and the sums going to
agricultural colleges, shall be placed in
fund to be knwn as the reclamation fund
This fund is to be used in constructing res
eryoirs, mainline canals and Ia developing
artesfan water. The Secretary of the In
terror aScertainS the cost of feasible pro-
ject and the amount of land that can be ir-
rigated from it and apportons the cost of
the work to the irrigable land and any set
tier taking up the land must, in addition to
complying with the homested laws, pay
such apportioned cost. No contract shall
be let unless the necessary moneys are
available in said fund. 1t also gives the
Secretary authority 10 withdraw from en-
try such lands as he may consider neces-
sary under a feasible project except that
the same continue subject to homestead en-
try. but subject to the terms and provisions

1t is probable that every butcher,
commission merchant and grocer in
Washington will want block of this
stock. 1t is likely that every citizen
OF the city will feel like investing as
far as his means will allow. There
are not enough shares to go around.
1t is therefore imperative that you
place your order for stock at the
earliest possible moment.
If you desire a safe, dividend-pay-
ing investment write us for subscrip-
ton blanks. The stock is as good
as government bonds, for you can
buy the stock at par value and you
will be able to realize the fruits of

Effect Of Irrigation.

Mr.. Jones cited as a practical illustration
of what may be done by irrigation his own
section of the state of Washington.
THE central part of my state" he said,
sis arid and semi-arid In character
and nearly all the irrigation schemes
that are practicable for private en-
terprises have been or are being
put in operation. My town, North Yakima,
is In the very center of irrigation in Wash
ington and the valley in which it is located
is the garden spot of the northwest and in
my Judgment, rivals If it does not surpass
the famed valleys of southern California in
beauty. Except along the streams, fifteen
years ago this valley was just as much a
desert as the Sahara.
In discussing the prospects Of the bill In
the House, Mr.. Jones declares that in his
opinion they are most excellent.
The bill, as you know, passed the Senate
with no opposition he continued. Many
of the eastern senators spoke briefly but
strongly and earnestly in favor of it. A
systematic canvass of the House indicates q
large majority in favor Of it. While there
Is no politics In the bill there is certainly
no reason why a republican should not be
in favor of 1t. All political parties declared
for irrigation in their platforms Of course
they did not declare for this particular bill,
but 1t was prepared by a committee of
seventeen from the states directly interest
ed, selected without regard to politics and
was not perfected until after weeks of Ia
bOrious work and discussion. 1t probably
Is not perfect, but We have the right to
assume that 1t is reasonably well adapted
to accomplish the desired object. The Pres
fdent and his Secretary of the Interior have
declared most emphatically in favor of irri-
CATION, and We have every reason to sup
pose that this bill is reasonably satisfactory
TO them. Those republicans, who in the
past have been so urgently in favor of sus-
tanning the administration, can certainly be
depended upon to support this bill most

A Local Enterprise of Vital
Importance to Every
Citizen of Washington
Has the Approval and
Financial Backing of
Leading Business Mem.

The ''meat problem" has been
practically and finally solved so far
as Washington is concerned. The
leading butchers and retail meat
dealers of this city have organized to
erect an abattoir ard stock yard
plant, which will render Washington
entirely independent of Western
meats and will supply the local mar
ket with the finest Home-dressed
Meats at a great saving to both the
dealer and the consumer. The site
for the plant has already been Sc
cured-plans have been drawn for
the buildings-and it is expected that
the plant will be completed and open
for business in the early fall.
Large blocks of the stock have al
ready been taken by the dealers-and
there is already such demand for
the portion of the stock open to pop
ular subscription that the success of
the enterprise is beyond question.
Sufficient funds are already in hand
to start the erection of the buildings,
and the money which is rapidly COM
ing in will place the company on a
permanent and solid financial foun-
dation.
The operation of this plant will not
only prove blessing to every family
in Washington, but will afford the
most profitable returns of any enter
prise launched in this city during the
past quarter of a century.
The Washington and Virginia
Stock Yard and Abattoir Company
is a corporation duly organized I'M
der the laws of the State of Virginia
to provide suitable accommodations
for the quartering of live stock for
farmers, drovers and dealers, where
said live stock, consisting of calves,
lambs, sheep, hogs and cattle, may
be bought and sold and dressed for
market, and also to provide suitable
accommodations for the housing and
dressing of poultry, and to provide
both storage and cold storage for all
kinds of meats and merchandise, and
for the manufacture of ice for sale
and for use in said business"
This corporation is the owner Of
ten acres of land situated in Alexan-
dria county, Va, upon the old Co.
lumbia Turnpike, and is reached by
both the Long Bridge and the Aque-
duct Bridge, and the approaches Of
the new bridge contracted for by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
over the Potomac River are within
one hundred feet of its property. The
tracks of the Ross1yn Branch Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad are within a
few yards of the company's land and

branch to the company's ground, so

pended in constructing the plant, and
they would besides pay all taxes and

stock should pay at least 10 or IS

Precaution Outlined.

To provide against the irrigated lands 60
ing into the hands of corporations and spec
ulators. the bill provides that no one can
take these lands except a homesteader and
he must live on his land for five years and
must cultivate and reclaim it. The right
to commute is taken away. The Secretary
of the Interior may also regulate the size
of the homestead, not exceeding one hum
dred and sixty acres and not less than forty
acres. This. Mr.. Jones says. Is an abso-
lutte guarantee of home building.
Each settler pays his proportionate part
of the cost, which goes into the reclama-
ton fund to be used in developing other
works. so that when the government gets
through with its construction. it will have
the fund on hand to turn back into the

Millions of Acres.

Mr.. Jones predicts that something like
fifty million acres of land can reasonably
be reclaimed by the method proposed. Not,
of course, at once, but in the natural course
of time which it takes to build up and ex-
tend the system. On these fifty million
acres it would be entirely feasible to sup
port forty million people without over
crowdng. He maintains that such growth
instead of being a detriment to the eastern
section of the country, would build up it's
markets and create place where its fur
niture, farming implements and general
manufactured goods could be disposed Of.
The products produced on the reclaimed
land would naturally find their own market
among the people living in the west and
would not to any extent compete with the
same products of the east. Cattle and
sheep could be raised and the vexed ques-
ton which is now confronting the Amer-
can people of high beef would be settled
forever, the alfalfa which could be rails
ed on an acre of irrigated land would keep
several head of cattle, whereas now 1t
takes thirty acres of grazing land to keep a
single head.

not on salaries; accordingly each di-

All Expenses Paid by Sale of Ice.

We have it from the best of au-
tlorIty that the cost of manufactur-
ing 40 tons of ice every p hours will
not exceed, counting all expense,
92R cents per ton. Ii this ice can
be sold from the platform at 81 per
ton it would leave a profit of about
100 per cent after allowing a reason
able percentage for melting. This
profit on ice of about $40 per day
will more than pay the expenses OF
operating the mechanical portion of
the plant, paying all engineers, coal
bills. etc, leaving all other sources
OF revenue as CLEAR PROFIT.
