For 20 years. as city engineer OF

couldn't find any one who could

become ardent supporters OF
Thomson.
Thomson received many flatter-
ing offers from other cities, but
had consistently turned them down
until in 1911 he resigned the city
engineers office TO become port
engineer. The next year he re-
signed this post and accepted a
$4,000 n year Job from the British
Columbia government To take
charge OF the construction OF

Burglars Make
an Empty Haul

Burglars broke into the home Of
Mr. and Mrs. w. s. Ballard on Car
son street some time during the per-
formance at the Grand theater last
evening. They succeeded in etfectn2
an entrance by cutting hole in the
screen door in the rear large enough
to permit the turning the latch; thcE
breaking the glass in the kitchen
door and turning the latch they walk
ed in. Nothing of value so far as
known was secured, but a most
thorough search, from the looks OF
the rooms, was made for valuables.
The mattress and bedding were
overturned. the bureau drawers all
taken out and the contents emptied
on the floor. The desk in the office
had also been treated in the same
manner. A. block of matches and ap
old razor were found in the kitchen,
the latter had probably been used in
cutting the screen in the rear door.
Manager Ballard says that every
thing tends to show that it was either
an amateur or a drunken man who
did the work. The burglary was at
once reported to Officers Dodson
and Logan, who Immediately started
an investigation.
Three other places besides Billiards.
were reported this morning as being
broken into last evening or some time
during the night. The first place no
doubt visited was Holeman's restaur-
ant at about S:45 last evening. Mrs
Ho'eman had turned out all the
lights in the place and gone upstairs
to retire when she heard the break
ing of glass down stairs and the rat
Ting of silver-ware. She went 70 the
stairway and called, who is there
when. whoever it was, stumbled over
a cuspidor and beat it out An inves-
t;gation showed the burglar had tori
the screen off the side window in the
main dningroom down stairs ant
then raised the window. Nothing wa:
taken or disturbed as his presence il
the building was discovered too soon
The Eagle market was also entered
IN the same manner and everything
in the desk turned upside down. Tha

statement was issued because the
first had been subjected to various
constructions he had not meant to

Lansing was asked, does the first
