LAKESIDE BURGLAR IS
NOT YET CAPTURED
Police Discover They Have
Wrong Suspect-Real
Thief Is Seen

OAKLAND. Aug. 3o.--An effective
alibi for Arthur Hatfield, now in the
city prison on suspicion of being the
Lakeside" burglar was given last
night by the real Lakeside thief,
who entered the apartments of A.
Jacobs. 1888 Harrison street, stole a
watch worth $40. allowed himself to
be seen and recognized and then
jumped through an open window IL
feet to the ground below, escaping
over rear fences.
Captain of Inspectors Lon Agnew,
with nearly score of plain clothes
men and patrolmen, secured the dis
trict for an hour, but failed to find
any trace of the elusive thief.
1t was the tenth time the burglar
had narrowly escaped capture. Ja-
cobs, who heard the burglar moving
about, caught a sufficient glimpse OF
the intruder to identify him with the
same man who has been observed In
other Lakeside apartments.
The police announced that Hatfield
would probably be released from GUS
tody, as it is believed he was simply
seeking something to eat when
caught in the storeroom of the Aun-
ston apartments, 213s Webster street.

Tells of a Great Unsettled Empire.

The following is from a recent is
sue of the National Tribune, pub
lished in Washington, ID. c.:
Judge j. W. King, Of Oregon,
who has been appointed judge of
the court of General Appraisers of
New York City, while in Washing
ton recently, gave some of his ideas
about wild horses. He said that if
any one thought that wild horses
were no longer common in the
United States he should take a trip
from Winnemuca, New, to Pendle-
ton, Ore.
Eastern Oregon, southern Idaho
and northern Nevada, form the big
gest unsettled empire we have left
in the United States" he declared
and it is the only place in the
country where we still find the wild
horse roaming at will. To he sure,
there are not many of them. but it
shows that it is the only place in
the country where they have ranges
that are open to them. 1t is $50
miles from Winnemuca to Pendle-
ton, and from the Western Pacific
in Nevada to the nearest railway in
Oregon it is still farther. In fact,
there are valleys there in which
some Of the New England states
might be dropped and not touch
the sides, which have no human
habitation. 1t will not be many
years, however, that such conditions
will prevail, for settlers are pouring
into the country, knowing that the
railways, once shown a possibility
for business, will build branch lines.
There are hundreds of people cross
ing the Canadian boundary who
would be much better off settling in
their own country -

NEW LAND COMMISSIONER

The new commissioner of the
General Land Office comes from
Nevada in the person of Hon. Clay
Tallman, which is very fortunate
appointment for the west and north
west. Mr.. Tallman will succeed
Mr.. Fred bennett, who came from
North Dakota, and while no par
ticular criticism can he made of the
administration of the office under
the latter, the fact that he will be
succeeded by a man who knows the
west and its needs. will be hailed
with delight by all citizens who are
laboring to build up this section of
the country.

His COW, Loretta d, - 4 pure bred
registered Jersey, carried off the
sweepstakes over all breeds and over
the entire world at the st. Louis
exposition.
Having made such a success with
his own herd, the agricultural de-
partment of the federal government
induced him to devote portion of
his time to supervision over dairy
ing in the middle west. He has
been doing this for some years and
is now making his first visit to
Idaho.

fore returning TO the east.
My special work, - Mr.. Scribner
said, is along the line of organiz-
ing COW testing associations among
the farmers. We find where the
farmers do the work themselves

are familiar the results are secured
