ROBBERS GET
HEAVY LOOT
nuTWIT POLICE AND EFFECT A
BIG ROBBERY OF JEWELRY
STORE UNDER EYES OF EXTRA
PATROL FORCE.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-At
some time during the night, and in
the best patrolled district in the
citv. thieves entered the jewelry
store of T. Lundy at 744 Market
street and robbed it of diamonds,
watches and other jewelry amount
ing to $4,000.
The entrance was made by cutting
a hole through the partition that
separates the store and candy
shop. This was done without dis
turbing the lights burning in both
stores, and hole made large
enough for the thieves to crawl
through.
Once inside, the safe was bored
into, and a charge of nitroglycerine
gave the robbers access to the vault
which they cleaned out. The rob.
berry was discovered by Policeman
Mcdonald and a watchman in the
neighborhood. Two months ago ar
attempt was made to enter the same
store.

practices that now prevail in the
reservation towns, if the plans 6e
prominent reservation citizens are
carried out.
1t was stated today that plans are
being perfected to have a commit
tee meet with the county commits
sioners in executive session and ask
that special detectives be employd
to visit all sections of the reserva-
tion and secure evidence against all
persons engaged in "bootlegging," I"
after which a wholesale prosecution
will follow.
1t is stated that a similar plan
against gambling in Latah county
was inaugurated by the commits
sioners Of that county last year
and resulted in the county collect
ing approximately $4,000 in fines

engaged in this work could also
handle the gambling features in this
county, which would increase the
revenues to the county without ex.
ira expense.
1t is explained that the regular

Creston Clarke, whose fine per-

was said to be superior to that Of
an actor enjoying an international

pears at the Temple on Friday, Apri!
II in '"The Power That Governs
The Denver News of Monday,
March 8, says:
Two capacity audiences filled the
Tabor yesterday to see Creston
Clarke's production of ''The Power
That Governs" and those who at
tended the performance were well
repaid for their visit. Clarke's new
play was satisfying and no doubt
his stay of a week will prove profit
able to this convincing actor, who
has brought with him this year q
capable supporting company.
"The Power That, Governs" deals
with the inability of moral back
slider to escape the responsibility O
his sins, even though vast fortune
furnishes him immunity and protec
ton from many other trials tr
which the human flesh is heir. Ther'
Is pretty love story in the play

Will PLANT
1000 ACRES
FARMERS IN CULDESAC SECTION
FIND IT PROFITABLE TO GROW
POTATOES, AND WILL PLANT
LARGE ACREAGE.

''The farmers of the Tom Beall
creek, Rosetta and Culdesac sections
will this year cultivate 1000 acres
of potatoes" said A. w. Conway,
who is in the city as juror Of the
district court.
"The potato has been an impor-
tant summer fallow crop in those
sections for the past several years. "
continued Mr.. Conway, land the in
dustry has proven to be profitable
one. This season a carload Of the
best seed potatoes has been shipped
in and the grade OF the crop should
be better than ever before"
Mr.. Conway will cultivate 80
acres of potatoes, and states some
farmers are planting as much as 81
acres. The feature that has made
potato growing profitable In tbs
Culdesac country Is that much .ol
the crop is not dug until spring
which eliminates all shrinkage and
loss. During the cold weather tho
potatoes are frozen solid, but wher
the frost leaves the ground the po
tatoes are found to be in perfect
state Of preservation.
The crop last year was sold at I
net price of so cents per 100
which gives the growers profit o
25 cents per 100. the estimated cos
of production and digging being 3
cents. S4Jg

sale commenced at 3 o'clock this
morning with one of the most sue
cessful openings In the sales business
of the city. The sidewalk was block
with shoppers at the time the doors
were scheduled to be opened, and
within a few minutes the large
salesroom was crowded to such IN
extent that it became necessary to
lock the doors.
The crowd continued throughout
the day, and at many times It be-.
came necessary to close the doors to-
relieve the congestion until the pat-.
rons had been waited upon. A larger
force of clerks will be secured TOR
next week. which is hoped to elimi-
nate the necessity OF closing the
store. during business hours.
The firm had recently received th9
new stock Of spring and summer
shoes and these goods have been
placed on the market at the sams
sacrifice prices that were inaugura-
ted when the entire stock was mark
ed for the closing-out sale. The high
standard of goods carried by the
Gramlich-Letson company, with the
announcement of the reduced prices
is attributed as the cause for thG
rush this morning that surpassed
even the hopes of the sales agents.
The sale is being conducted by th6'

nized as the greatest bargain eiveE1
