st. Panl, Mimi, April 1S.-The po-
lice arrested John Gunderson. early
Wednesday morning on the charge of
having held up Fred Zimmerman, the
clerk in the Northern Express COM
pany's Office Tuesday night and robbed
the Office safe of a package containing
$4,000. The police say Gunderson has
not. confessed. They would not say
whether the money had been secured
or not but they said they had the
right man.
The police found Gunderson in bed
at his home shortly after foul, O'clock
in the morning, having been notified
by telephone by a brother of Gunder-
son that John was at home. When
Gunderson was taken to the police sta
tion he appeared to be under the in
fluence of liquor and said he knew
nothing about the robbery. When the
police offered to let him go without
prosecution if he. would tell where he
had hidden the money Gunderson said
he could not remember what he had
done with it. Gunderson claimed he
had been drinking and did not remem-
Der what had happened during the
night.
! Gunderson had been employed by
the Northern Express company and
was recently discharged. He is. said
to have been familiar with the details
of the Office and knew that a package
containing the $4,000 was going to
Duluth on the night train for the Clo-
quet Lumber company.
| Zimmerman, the clerk in charge Of
the Office, says Gunderson came to the
office about nine o'clock and as he
had been employed there he thought
nothing of his hanging around. Gun
derson appeared to have been drink
ing, and was in very jovial mood. He
remained there until everyone but
Zimmerman and porter had left and
then Gunderson gave the porter some
money and told him to get bottle of
whisky, as he was going away on a
train and wanted to take it with him.
AS soon as the porter had disappeared
Gunderson covered Zimmerman with
a revolver and commanded him to
open the safe and hand out the pack
age. Zimmerman said he saw that
Gunderson was in earnest and com.
piled with his request. Gunderson then
backed out of the office and command
ed Zimmerman to stand with his face
to the wall for ten minutes on pain of
death.
Zimmerman says that as soon as he
was sure Gunderson had departed he
notified the police. The entire detec-
tive force was put on his trail, but no
one supposed he would go home and it
was not until a brother telephoned
police were able to locate him.

bys Cong at its last session. and
the other to build for ;S4,377 900 the
other of these tremendous ships. These
battleshlps will both be in the Dread
naught class, the highest attainment in
the art of building war vessels that

The cost Of these ships, however, will

THE NEVADA TRADE,

The Tribune has urged from time TO
time upon the attention of the business
men Of this city such excursions and
oyertures to the Nevada mining camps
as would be sufficient 10 give 10 MS the
trade of those camps that legitimatelv
and naturally would come this way.
Without such effort on the part of Salt
Lake business men, the trade that they
might naturally and fairly expect can
be captured and taken elsewhere by
the efforts Of other cities.
We are glad TO know that a project
is on foot TO have an excursion of Salt
Lake Is business men at as early a date
as possible, perhaps in the early fall,
to the great mining regions of Nevada,
on the completion Of the railroad from
Las Vegas to Tonopah, The programme
is, as we understand, TO go down on the
Los Angeles road to Las Vegas, thence
up to Bullfrog, Goldfeld, Tonopah, and
home by way of the Southern Pacific,
visiting such new mining camps as are
available along the return journey. 1t

harbor of San Francisco is fairly for
tilted. but we need something more
than that. We need an effective naval
armament on the West coast that will
be fully up to the full strength of the
Japanese navy; a little more, in fact.
Until the completion of the Panama
canal, il would not be possible for YES
sells Of the navy, with any sort of Ger
tainty or safety, to transfer from the
Atlantic to the Pacific AS u matter
Of fact. the full strength of the Nation
at sea might be called for at any gwen
time on either sea. And we should be
prepared. In time of peace prepare
for war; was the maxim OF the
fathers; and common sense and prac-
teal experience have shown that with
sufficient preparation. there would be
no war. 1t was only because the United
States was not supposed to have any
fighting force that Spain had the hardi-
hood TO 90 TO war with us in 1898. Ii
Spain had known as much about the
fighting force of the United States In
February, 1S0S rs she did In August,
1899, there would have been no war-
And so we say, the very best peace
arguments that the Nation can posi-
bly offer TO the world is the brlstllng
front of a tremendous navy which 1t
is hopeless for any power TO attack.

is certainly Salt Lakes legitimate terri
tory, whore The people there can trade
to the best advantage, and where the
tradesmen of Salt Lake can find le-
gitimate and large market for their
goods, We find in the Ely Expositor
of recent date, the following comment,
which is exactly in point:
Los Angeles business men have Just
invaded the southern camps. looking Tor
business and seeking to establish closer
commercial relations That's what The
folks over NJ Salt Lake are coming TO
Ely for, When the railroad from the

Francisco is neither saying anything nor
saving wood; just scrapping with her
self and watching her trade go 10 others.
1t is therefore up to Salt Lake to
make good in her supply of merchandise
of every kind to those camps. They arc
great buyers. No mass of people, as
the country averages through, buys as
much per capita as do the people of
mining camp, These buy everything;
they buy lavishly All Of their supplies
have to come through the market. They
raise nothing but ore. They sell the
ore and bullion and buy everything else.
In a general community throughout the
United States there is moro or less
quasi free maintenance; there is little
agriculture, and little stock raising,
and there are various ways of getting
what one wants in the way of subslst-
ence and apparel, but in the mining
camps there is nothing except what IS
brought in and sold. And so thrifty,
populous mining camp is the very best
market in the world for all sorts of
goods And Nevada has these markets
now in plenty. Salt Lake has the goods.
The question is to get them together.
And that is something for Salt Lake
business men TO figure on and to effect.
