THIEVES ATTEMPT BIG
HAUL ON EAST SIDE

A daring robbery: was committed on
the East Side Monday afternoon when
thieves entered the Alpha Nj lodge of
the Chi Psi fraternity, 1915 University
avenue Sc, securing a. i considerable
amount Of clothing. and jewelry. A
dozen members were'in the. chapel house
at the time but little attention was
paid to the strangers; and the thieves
apparently took theirstime In securing
what they desired. .sss
AS soon as the loss was; noted, how
ever, a committee was chosen run
down the culprits. Two were found to
be East Side men well-known to the
police, and after, sufficient evidence had
been secured against them they were
approached and restitution demanded.
The men readily agreed tozSthis, and
all the property was recovered from
pawDshops in, the two cities and from
The thieves themselves. $3.50 &5

The East Side members Of the Min

wonders for St. Anthony during their
time OF office. Not only have the many
back-yards and alleys been thoroly
cleaned, but the leaguers have per
suaded property owners to trim their
trees and put their yards and lawns in
been removed in some places to make
room for shrubs and flowers; houses
have been painted, fences torn down.
! and the whole section of the city put
IN much better condition than it has
been for some. years. The city authori-
ties have worked in conjunction with
members of the improvement league
and have done all in their power to
assist them. Some Of the streets of
East Minneapolis were in bad condition
and these are either being repaired or
entirely repaved. New curling has
fbeen installed in many places and the
IseWer system has been extended.
Still much remains to be done, -
Isaid one Of the members yesterday

could, but we have still many things
to attend to.
In particular we earnestly wish for
the removal of the billboards fanking

FoREcAsTINo BIG FLOODS
Fifty Years Accurately Foretold
by Weather Bureau.

Early in 1897 kilograms were posted
in hundred cities along the Missis-
sippi, warning the inhabitants to pre-
pare for tremendous floods. These
warnings, says ]. E. Watkins, In the
Technical World, went so far as TO
name the exact date-sometimes two
or three weeks off-when the coming
flood would be at its height, and even
stated the number of feet above low
water mark the water would reach.
They were signed by the chief of the
weather bureau at Washington.
The inhabitants of Cairo, New Or
leans and OK the towns and cities be-
tween read these sensational messages.
looked out at the shrunken Father of
Waters flowing calmly along within
its banks and shifted contemptuously
They were not going to be scared by &
lot of fool scientists in Washington
Only comparatively few timid people
were at all alarmed or even impressed.
These went so far as to move theirS
valuable property up onto high ground,
and were well laughed at for their
pains. Even the newspapers took the
matter up. and scolded the govern
ment for allowing the weather bu-
reau to frighten neerlessly a lot of
silly old women.
Finally the date set for the coming
OF the flood arrived, and with 1t came
the water. The greatest flood for more
than half a century swept down the
mississippi and overfiowed more than
lS'ooo square miles of land. The main
streets OF hundred towns and cities
were under water: and, at some points
practically the only property not dam
aged was that of the ridiculed people
VINO had needed the despised warning
OF the weather bureau. And It was es-
umated that property to the value of
Sl5,o0o,oO0 was saved, which would
certainly have been destroyed but for
the advance notice which its owners

THE POLITICAL EQUILIBRIUM.

Politics locally has been warm
for the past fifteen days. The
campaign has been short but spiri-
ted. Every political short cut,
trick, scheme and invention has
been resorted too to get votes,
wires have been pulled. machines
operated, trades made, dickers
hatched, combinations effected. al
liances entered into, in order to Sc
cure votes. Now that the end has
come and the people have shown
their preference, let us accept the
verdict cheerfully and all turn and
boost for Denver. Every loyal
Coloradian likes Denver though
they sometimes differ as how to
best serve her interest, yet be we'll
assured of this fact, that upon one
thing we are all agreed and that is :;
that Denver's interest is the inter
est of US all and that Denver's in
terest must and shall receive our
first and best attention. There
fore let your motto be, "A strong
boost and a boost altogether for a
Greater Denver"

ASTONISHING LAND VALUES
United States and Canada Rich in
Examples of Rapid Rise
in Prices.

To those who are skeptical of the
wisdom of investing money in real es-
tate there are numerous instances of
cities where every inch of land is of
great value which have been built upOns
sites formerly sold for little or even
given away. The United States and
Canada are rich in such examples
Canada especially has been the scene
of 81 eat bargains in land. During the
first years of its history James l. maG0
a free gift of the whole of Canada, to-
gether with Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia, to the famous Lord Stirling
Some 200 years later a member OF the
suite of the governor of the colony
was granted 100000 acres of land ny
William ~. Later this was increased
by the addition of 100000 acres. Sixty
years later Canadian land company
was given 100000 acres, 100000 be-
ing paid for at the rate of 60 cents an
acre, and the rest free gift. AS late
as 1880 the Canadian government ac-
tually made the Scotch Canadian COM
pany present of S2,5O0,000 in cash, as
a bonus, with a free grant of $4,000, 600
acres AS there we're many conditions
as to the development of the territory
in the terms of the grant, the bargain
was not SO one-sided as it at first ap-
pears.
Everyone knows that the whole of
Manhattan island was sold by the In
dians for $24. Yet a plot of ground
which was once farm, and was grant
ed and still belongs to Trinity church,
-
Pennsylvania, the second most popu-
lous state in America, containing Z
scores of prosperous cities, has an
area of about $4,000 square miles. This
tract of land was given over to Will
liam Pinn in settlement of compare
lively tri1ing debt which Charles ~
owed to Penn's father, and which he
found himself disinclined or unable TO
pay in cash.
The same improvident king was the
one who rented 2,7O0,000 square miles
of the land about Hudson Bay for a
yearly rental of two beavers and two
elk per annum. This has proved to be
one of the best speculations in land on
record. Some 200 years after the deal
the company of owners sold the major
part of this vast territory to the Cana
dian Federation for s2,5O0,000, and in
the meantime it had been bringing N
an average income of 100000 year.
Not more than 270 years ago the
present site of Liverpool was sold for
s2,25O by a small London syndicate,
who had bought il from Charles l. for
less.
The site of johannesburg and most
of its gold mines, which are said to
contain over S14,000,00O 1000 worth of
the precious metal, were sold less than
80 years ago to an Englishman named
Pratt for the sum of $1,000. In spite of
its cheapness it was bad bargain for
him, for because of his activity in the
first Boer war his property was conf1s-
Gated and he was driven to England in
penniless state.

two kinds of cells-the red and the

the scavengers of the body as well as
the policemen and the soldiers. They

The red corpuscles, on the other hand,
are the commissary department They

waste products.
If the red corpuscles and the sub
stance Of which they are most largely
composed, the hemoglobin, are reduced

Of oxygen, and there is a lowering OF
