a new descriptive folder, with a splen-

BURGLARS ARE
GETTING BUSY
WITH DENTISTS

The increasing number of burglar
les and thefts, large and small, which
have been attempted or effected in
this city in the past several months
are becoming alarmingly numerous.
Within the past week a half dozen
robberies, holdups and thefts have
been reported. Last night the dental
offices of DR.. Billings and Dr. Lindsay
were entered by thieves and nearly
fifty dollars worth of gold plate. gold
solder and scrap gold, was stolen.
No trace of how the entrance was
made in each case is visible and it is
very evident that the guilty parties
knew exactly where the gold was de
posted as nothing else in either of
flee was disturbed. In both cases
many things of value were overlook
ed but the profit of the venture which
was obtained without much trouble
or Inconvenience was undoubtedly
more than enough to pay the Grim
inals well for their attempt
The police have been notified and
are working on the case but they
have little or nothing to work upon
and there is but little hope of the
burglars being apprehended.
The entire western country is over
flooded with desperate and lawless
characters who are returning from
the big fight at Reno and robberies
are reported in large numbers from
all sections of the country. The rob
berry last night was the work of skill
full and veteran hands as they cum
ningly concealed all clues and evil
dence which could be used for identi-
ficauon as the work is in all likeli-
hood the effort of professional crooks
who specialize on dentists and other
professional offices, where the swag

without great danger of detection.
Chief of Police Welsh today made
the rounds of the offices and warned
the owners to be careful of how they
left valuables lying around for a few
days until the country has been drain
ed of the tough fight element.
There is bare possibility that the
robbery may have been perpetrated
after the dentists opened up their
offices this morning as in each case
the doctors stepped out for a few
moments but it would look like too
strong coincidence that the thieves
would happen around to both offices

PUBLIC INTERESTS NOT SAFE.

The indictment against Mr.. Bal
linger is simply this, that his actions
and his conduct in office have been
such as to warrant the statement
that the vast public interests entrust-
ed to his care are not in safe hands.
that he has not properly safeguarded
the common-rights of all the people.
but has shown favor and privilege to
private interests. and has aided and
abetted these private interests i'm
their effort to get possession of ma
tional resources which are, and
should remain, the common heritage
of all; that by acts of commission
and omission he has steadfastly play
ed into the hands of those who are
endeavoring to monopolize for their
own benefit and profit that which be-
longs to the people as a whole These
are the charges against Mr.. Ballinger,
rather than corruption and malfes-
ance in office. and whether they have
been proven. or not the evidence
speaks for itself
Two specifications may be set forth
in connection with these charges. The
first, and the one to which interest
was chiefly directed, was that he
sought to aid the Morgan-Guggen-
helm Syndicate in getting possession
of the vast and invaluable coal de-
nosits in Alaska; and. second. that
by reversing the policy of his pre-
decessor, he failed to safeguard the
public domain in respect to the with
drawal from entry of water power
sites, and that his course was calcul-
ated 10 retard rather than to promote
the work of irrigating arid lands. and
TO interfere with the preservation of
forest reserves.

possible to consider only one phase
