THIEVES ENTER

LOCK ON SAFE REFUSES TO YIELD

Combination Lock BrOken-COntents
of Safe Not Dfsturbed-SOme
Cigars Stolen

With the purpose of robbing the
safe Of the Farmers Store last night
some person or persons broke into the
store, forced open the outer door of
the safe, and destroyed the combina-
ton lock of the safe, without, however,
being able to spring the bolt and there
fore not effecting an entrance into the
safe. Beyond the theft of 20 or %
cigars the contents of the store were
not disturbed.
No one discovered the robbery un-
til this morning at the hour for OPEN
ing the store The door to the build
ing had only a common lock fastened
and that had been opened by means, it
is thought, of skeleton key. There is
every evidence to show that amateur
tools were used on the safe and the
manner in which the work was done
also indicates the amateur.
The officers are working on the
case Suspicious as to the identity of
the culprits are entertained by George
Sievers, manager of the store, and
others, but as nothing definite can be
proved, the names will not be made
public until some further clues are
traced.

BUILD DAM
IN CLEARWATER
STATE LAND BOARD HAS PLANS
FOR DEVELOPING TIMBER
INDUSTRY OF IDAHO
Would Encourage Cutting Timber in
Clearwater Country and Seeks
Legislation

| BOISE, Feb. 3.-"It is time that Ida
no should prepare to protect it's great
holdings in the white pine timber dis
| trict of Clearwater county by allowing
the building of a dam or booms in the
Clearwater river where logs can be
stored. The great fire hazard is the
primary reason why this should be
DONE" is statement of George A
Day, when discussing the advisability
of allowing the building of dams OF
booms in the Clearwater river.
"The state owns 234,000 acres of the
timber in the richest district of white
pine timber in the United States. Al
die it for marketing. There is great
danger that at any time the forest
may be visited by fire. When fire
sweeps through this class of trees ii
causes what is known as blue sap
which inside of year will completely
destroy the marketable value of the
timber
Last year there were 80 fires start
ed in this timber district, none of them
reached any proportions, thanks to
vigilance and work of the timber as
sociations which did excellent service
for the state. But next year or the
next fires may start which will get be-
yond the control of the associations
and sweep through the forest. The
state of Idaho would lose millions
of dollars of valuable timber because
of the lack of means to handle it.
Railroads into this field are remote
but there are any number of streams
which can be utilized. All flow to the
Clearwater river. If boom is allowed
to be constructed in this river or a
large dam it will then be possible for
the state and others who own timber
in this district to build fumes along
the streams and a continuous stream
of logs would be flowing into the dam.
Zone can see the inevitable result,
planning mills, shingling mills and all
other industries akin to the lumber
business would start up. Billions of
dollars would flow into the state.
"But let the state tarry a little too

EXQUISITE PLAY
PROMISED PUBLIC
|CAST FOR "PAOLO AND FRANCES
CAn WILL GIVE FINE
PERFORMANCE
PLAYERS Well SeIected-Lines of Great
Beauty-First Dramatic Offering Of
Year

| Reports from the rehearsals Of
"Paolo and Francesca" the famous
tragedy of Stephen Phillips, are to the
effect that the cast is showing mark
i ed interpretative ability and that the
performance on Friday evening in the
university auditorium will be far be-
| yond the average both in interest OF
plot and in quality of acting.
The play is we'll known to all lovers
of the modern drama and has been
much enjoyed in the libraries by hun
Idreds upon hundreds of eager readers
who have delighted in the exquisite
Lines in which the beautiful old story
lis told.
The cast which Miss French is drill
ling for the Friday night performance
and which she has already brought to &
creditable point is as follows: Giovan-
mi Malatesta, Willard Mcdowell;
Paolo, C. F. Johnson; Valentino, M.
Ison; Corrado, Charles Chandler;
Luigi D. Poindexter; Marco, Bert
Dingle, Pulci, R. c. Goodman; Fran
cesca, Margaret Linn; Costanza, Olive
Merritt; Tessa, Camille Mcdaniel;
Nita, Marjorie Zumhof; Angela, Mar
garet Rawlings; Mira, Muriel Beam
er.
Although divided into four acts, the
play is not long. The scenes are LAID
in a gloomy hall in the Malatesa Cas-
tie at Rimini, in the palace, in the shop
Of Pulci, and again in chamber in
the palace.
AS "Paolo and Francesca is the
first dramatic offering of the year and
as the taste for good plays is keen
here, it is expected that, the audience
on Friday evening will pack the aud
itorium.

long and Idaho will be deprived of this
valuable industry almost over night
Steps should be taken Immediately by
the state to protect these trees which
are right now worth three hundred mil
lion dollars A dam in the Clearwater
river will do much to solve the prob
lem.''
H. B. No. 81 by Randall would allow
the building of dams or booms in the
river as suggested by Mr.. Day. While
Idaho owns most of the timber in the
large white pine district in Clearwater
county the large timber companies of
the state have extensive holdings and
are as anxious as the state to have
the permission to build the booms in
the river. The timber is now ripe and
is said by timber men to be more sus-
ceptible to fire than previously.

MIDDLE WEIGHT CHAMPION
BY Hal Sheridan

written for the United Press)
| NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Mike Gibbons,
the phantom-like boxer of st. Paul,
is the best middleweight in the busi-
ness. Despite howls to the contrary
from Eddie McGoorty, Jack Dillon,
Jimmie Clabby, ct al, the lad from
Minnesota is the nearest thing to a
real champion the fans have seen since
the death of Stanley Ketchel. He does
not stand head and shoulders above
his contemporaries, but he stands high
enough that he can be easily recognize
ed over their heads.
