That st. Johns is badly In need
Of a cemetery becomes more and
more apparent every week. The
cost Of a burial when interment is
made In Portland is something ter
rife. We believe St. Johns is the
only city Of It's size in the United
States that does not possess bury
ing ground Of its own. We believe
all that is necessary to secure such
a project is for some good man to
get out with paper and enough
capital could be interested in the
way Of taking stock to purchase a
suitable plot and get II in shape for
such a purpose. The land will
never be any cheaper and the de-
mand for burying space is getting
frequent enough to make the pro-
ject a paying one from a financial
point Of view right from the start.

FRANK FIEBlG DOES
NEAT JOB WITH SAFE
tion Dial and Handle were Wreck
ed by Burglars.

One of the cleverest jobs in the
safe opening line which has been done
in the three cities for number If
years was that accomplished several
days ago by Frank Fiebig, son of
Charles Fiebig, whose reputation as a
safe expert is known all over the
country. 1t will be remembered that
several days ago robbers tried TO
open the safe in the office of <Beder
Wood in Moline. The would-be cracks
men failed to get at the contents sI
the safe, but succeeded in knocking
off the combination dial and in jarring
the lock so that the combination was
| changed. Several experts in Moline
were called in to open the safe but as
the combination was at fault and the
dial gone, they were unable to DO
anything. AS a last resort before blow
ing the safe open, Frank Fiebig was
summoned. He used a pair OF pliers
in order to turn the broken rod of
the lock. and he succeeded in picking
the combination even under this
difficulty and in opening the. safe. The
owner was considerably astonished
when he found that the supposedly
burglar proof safe could be opened
~ man who neither knew the COM
bination nor had the combination dia1
to guide his operations. 1t was a job
| such as Charles Fiebig himself would
have reason to feel proud in having
succeeded in. The broken dial was
replaced today under the direction Of
