Thieves Get $4,000
in Bridal Trunks
Valuable Wedding Presents Are
Stolen From Wealthy Pair
of Reno, New.

Guests at the fashionable Cornelia
apartments. in o'Farren street between
Larkfn and Hyde. were startled
yesterday to learn that trunks
stored in the basement and belong
ing to Mrs. Samuel Hill, a bride
of a few weeks. whose marriage TO a
wealthy Reno mining man was an
event in that city. had been mysteri-
ouslv rified by robbers, who secured
wedding presents of Mrs. Halls valued
at between s., 900 and $4,000.
With her husband, Mrs. Hall came 10
san Francisco recently on her wedding
trip. She had registered at the Cor
nelia previous 10 her wedding, ana,
though not now residing at the apart
ments, had stored some of her trunks
there. At her wedding she was the
recipient Of many beautiful ana costly
gifts from her friends. 1t became
known yesterday for the first time that
in some manner robbers. who evidently
were familiar with what the trunks
contained had entered the sIorerooIn
and completely rif1ed them of their val
uables-
Al. first the news was kept a secret,
in the hope that the daring burglars
could be apprehended and the presents
recovered. Detectives from a private
agency were engaged, but their Efforts
proving unsuccessful Chief OF Ponce
RigEy was notified by MIS- HAN IN per-
son yesterday The chief at once called
Detectives Steve Bunner and John
Freel TO his Office and personally de-
tailed them TO work on the case
After striving all afternoon and into
last night to unravel the mystery the
detectives found themselves as COM
pIetely mystifed as when they had be-
gun. The robbery proved to be one OF
the most baf7ing that has come TO the
attention of the police IN many day
Absolutely no clews could be found On
which TO base a course OF operations
What makes the mystery all the more
banning is the fact that the manage
ment OF the hotel has exercised the
greatest care TO guard against such
occurrences and at all times has had
private watchmen to look after the In
terests of the guests
The most that the detectives could
ascertain was that the storeroom evil
IDENTIFY had been entered unseen by any
one in the hotel
At present the theory on which the
detectives are working and In which
Chief fBiggy comedies is that the Halls
were followed from Reno by persons
who knew the value of the wedding
gifts in their trunks and patiently
awaited an opportunity TO carry out
the plans for stealing them which they
had carefully formulated
Among the Valuables stolen were q
number of beautiful dresses belong ging
to Mrs. Hall, valuable furs and several
costly paintings and art, objects. In
the trunks We're also complete house
hold and table sets of silverware- The
robbers overlooked nothing.

gineer with the United States Depart

ries of articles for the Reclamation

SOMETHING WE CAN RECOMMEND

1t isn't often in these days that man
can pick up farm in working order,
condition, and a money maker from the
start for less than the price of wild land.
But that is what one of our readers has
written to us to offer. He says that his
only reason for being willing to sell at
all is that he must return to Virginia
to look after some important interests
there-consequently he is willing to sac
rifce his holdings in this state. He
the ridiculously low price no one need
let the question of terms stand in the
way of the deal.
The property in question consists of
240 acres of the finest kind of farming
land within sixteen miles of Olympia
and two and a half miles from Tenino.
1t is beautiful and ideal location for a
stock or dairy farm with the markets
in easy reach-35 miles to Tacoma; rs
miles to Seattle; and los miles to Port
land; all good shipping centers.
One hundred acres is splendid bottom
land of which eighty acres is cleared
land is shot clay, while there are thou
sands of acres of outrange grazing.
There are four small houses in good con-
dition, two stable barns, plenty Of wa
ter from creek flowing through the prop
erty, two good work horses, two wagons,
a buggy mower, hay fork, stump puller
that cost 5000, a Sharpless separator
worth $685. plows, harrows, and all the
other necessary farming tools and outfit.
There is also a good family orchard in
bearing. There's a good school within
half a mile and churches nearby.
Knowing this property as we do we
feel that we are doing a service to any
of our readers looking for such a loca-
ton by calling it to their attention, as
the price, including everything, is only
$500.
Anyone who may be interested can
get full particulars by writing to David
Coping, Tenino, Washington.

BIG DAM is DONE,

Granite Reef diversion dam, an aux
iliary unit of the Salt River reclaim
alton project is done. 1t is locat-
ed twenty-five miles above Phoenix,
Arizona, and cost approximately $780,
900. 1t is nearly 1900 feet long, and
contains. including the masonry for
the sluice and regulating gates, about
10000 cubic yards of concrete.
The Granite Reef dam will divert all
the waters used on both sides of the
river, including the storage supply
from Roosevelt dam, which is the chief
feature of the Salt River project.
About 100000 acres of land in the
neighborhood of Phoenix will be sup
piled with water diverted by this dam,
and when the great Roosevelt dam is
completed several hundred horse pow
er will be developed and utilized to
pump the water from the underground
sources to supplement the surface sup
ply and increase the irrigable area by
$4,000 acres. The general elevation
of the irrigable land is from 1000 to
1900 feet above the sea level.
