Development but Begun.

Delta county land is as yet but little
developed. There are fine bearing or
chards and well improved farms, of
course, but the trend of real develop
ment rs but just beginning to set in.
For the future are the building of cleo
trio roads, the Harvesting of the Gun
nison, the completion of the great Gun
nison tunnel and many other things
sufficient in themselves to advance all
conditions, enhance values and increase
production many hundred fold.

don Sessions.
London, July 24.-The fact that a
convicted thief has been acting as a
policeman in London since April last
was revealed at the London Sessions a
few days ago.
After John Fuller, who Joined the
force on April 26, went to live at the
Kentish Town section house numerous
small thefts occurred in the house
Suspicion did not fall on Fuller, but
on other policemen. In one case a
vest was removed from one locker to
another, apparently with the object of
casting suspicion on another police
man.
Eventually Fuller was caught steal
ing bank book belonging to a detec-
tive. His fnger-prints were taken.
and 1t was discovered that in 1906 he
was bound over for stealing a bicycle.
and that in 1906 he underwent three
months Imprisonment. The references
he produced when he Joined the force
were unsatisfactory. and he left the
army with a good character.
A detective who had been present
when Fuller was previously convicted
corfoborated the anger-print evidence,
and sentence of twelve months i'm
prisonment was passed. Fuller, who
had strongly protested his innocence.
left the dock smiling.
II Is understood that in consequences
OF the case the finger prints of all fu-
ture applicants for admission to the
police force will be taken.
