Seventeenth street. east Of San Pablo
avenue. the gang %excavated a tunnel
directed at the bank vaults. Nearly
60 feet remained to be traversed be-
fore the operators would have reached
a point beneath the vaults.
Tunnel Made Small.
The tunnel. which is about two b,
three feet. parallels the north side OF
Seventeenth street. and after leaving
the Mission passes under the floor of a
garage. Between the end of the tube
and the vaults of the bank were the
offices Of the United Transfer com.

The vault is situated on the Seven
teenth street side Of the bank about 80
feet from San Pablo avenue, In view
of a window and six feet from the
walk. If the robbers had finished their

Sectional Value Of Potatoes,

In some experiments made at Cor.

tive yield from the stem and seed end
OF potatoes. it vas found that, as an
average of twenty-five varieties for
two years, the seed end gave a yield
of 1870 bushels per acre. while the
corresponding yield from the stem
end was about ISL bushels per acre
1t would seem from this that 1t would
be good farming to feed the stem ends
