WHEAT SCARCE IN HOLLAND.
Population May Be Forced to Eat
Brown Bread.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Scarcity of
wheat in Holland has made probable
another period of compulsory brown
bread and no white bread as there
was for two months last spring Ad-
vices to the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce tell also of re-
ports that universal bread cards will
be employed and that consumption
will be restricted.
Hollands supply Of wheat and flour,
it is declared, is likely to be exhaust
ed by the delay or loss Of wheat-laden
steamers Bread prices continue to
rise and brown bread already Is dis
tributed on cards.

YOUTHFUL RAFFLES
MADE RICH HAUL
Admits Stealing 100000 In 300 Bur-
glaries-Specialist in His 'Pro-
fession," Confession Shows.

New York Dec. Decentralization
by detectives at the Seventh Branch
Bureau, in Brooklyn, showed that
Charles Ortner, eighteen years old
who confessed 'about 800 burglaries
which netted him 'about 100000
was a most expert, businesslike and
discriminating burglar.
Ortner kept a, dairy. Before enter
ing q house he watched 1t and kept a
record of the habits of it's occupants
with regard to the time they left and
returned. The diary was useful in
bringing to light burglaries which had
not been reported to the police
For more than six months Captain
Carey had been puzzled by a. clever
burglar who had been working in the
BushWick section. Much booty was
recovered in pawnshops, and in each
instance the description given by the
pawnbroker was that Of a dapper
youth.
BY accident Ortner fell under police
notice, and Sergeant Noodle, with De-
tectives Cavanaugh, McKeon, Dunlap
and Donlon, had watched him con-
ttnually for the last ten days. They
traced him to his home. at No 1000
Lafayette avenue, where he lived in a
furnished room. Early yesterday the
detectives decided to make raid on
the youths room. They found a re-
volver, a fashlight, a long screwdriver
and q small blackjack They placed
Ortner under arrest.
Though questioned for hours,
Ortner continued to protest that he
was innocent Of any crime. Then he
broke down and confessed he had en-
tered many apartments in the Glen
dale section Of Queens and the Bush
wick, Flatbush and Bay Ridge Sec

WEAR THOSE SHOES
THAT TORTURED YOU
Cincinnati authority tells how to
dry up corn so it
lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn stops soreness at
once and soon the corn loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, without
pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callous. This should be
tried as it is inexpensive and is said
not to inf1ame or even irritate the sur
-7ounding tissue or skin.

ARIZONA GOLD PRODUCTION STFADII, INCREASING.

The old placer camp of La Paz on the Arizona side of the Colorado river Tn north ern Yuma county, IS about to realize boom in the near future. This district was one of the rich propositions i'll placer mining Tn the early ffties, and for years contained population of several thousand gold diggers. It has produced millions of dollars in placer in the days when the crudest method of mining was in vogue. There is a record of production of $500 1000 from one gulch alone, only the coarsest gold was saved mug gets weighing 3 I-2 pounds are of record, from Farrer Gulch After the cream of the district was roughly skinned, there was an exodus from the camp, and for years 1t has been inactive and practically abandoned.
 Lately experts have given the region thorough investigation, and the favorable re- ports rendered, has induced men of means ito organize solid company for its proper de- velopment.
 The company is known as the La Paz Gold Mining company and their holdings comprise an area of I546 acres. A reservoir has been completed and pumping plant and pipe line established, and actual operations will commence on or about the sth of the present month.
 Seventy-fve shafts have been sunk on the gravel deposits, ranging from 5 to 45 feet to bed rock, and the result of careful sampling assures value of $2.16 per cubic yard that can be worked at cost of cents yard
 Samp1ings of the talngs left by the old pioneers show paying values. A railroad is now in operation to the town of Blythe on the opposite side of the Colorado river from the camp, making transportation accessible and enhancing an economical system of oper- ation.
 ~- Never was such activity displayed in the gold belt of the river region there is to- day, with an assurance that new and profit able mines will be opened up, that will place Arizona in the front rank as gold producer, on this continent

THE HASSAYAMPA CLUB OF LOS ANGELES.

There is a bunch of expatriated Ari- zonans living in Los Angeles, who have tap a society designated as the Hassayampa Club It's headquarters is generally in the bar room of the >Hollenbeck hotel-sometirnes in the lobby.
 It has real live secretary whose duty seems to be to size up every verdant pilgrim from the land of copper and cactus, and after estimating his metallic quality and quantity, cajole him into signing the roster for the next grand Kentucky treat, self purchased ticket to some imaginary function to be pull ed off at the beach, or some resort selected by the boosting committee.
 This aggregation of so called Arizonans gives bona fde son of the sunshine a ston1- achal pain. Very often, however, they induce many simple suckers to take the bait by flat tering their vanity by placing their names on the entertainment program for a spell, land shake them down for many plun1s that could be more proftably spent at our home mountain resorts, where they could fill their lungs with Gods invigorating air, to be found in the parks and dales of Arizona and in the piscatorial pleasures of her rapid river riff hes.
 Hassayampers, Forsooth You could take this coterie of vapid atmosphere mer- chants, bindfold the bunch, set them out in the mesquite bottoms half mile from the stream of traditional truth, remove the mask, turn them adrift without a guide and not a mothers son of those 'early pioneers" could locate the Hassayampa in a years explora- ton.

SHANNON PEOPLE SECURE yEAGER
 MINE

The Shannon Copper Co. of Cliff ton has started operations on the Yeager Canyon holdings in Yavapai county, that they acquired last week from James A. Hope of Prescott.
 Uuder the superintendency of U. l. Fritschi, the first move to be made will be to unwater the old workings which will require some time, and a crew leaves the city today to start the work. The old machinery used in original development also is to be re- paired and an active camp is to be es- tablished on a permanent basis.
 MT. Fritschi has returned from the camp after making a general inspec- tion, and states that road conditions need improving. On this topic he is strong for the middle highway be- tween Prescott and Jerome, and if construction begins, states his con- pany will assist literally in the under taking. He says: If this highway is realized our camp will be steady patron of Prescott and many articles required will be purchased in this market. In fact Prescott will be our main supply point, instead of Yeager siding on the railroad being the point of entry. Rush the new road and we will be on hand to help it along Nothing can be lost in opening up the country and in the long run ten dol lars will be returned for every dollar expended"
 The advent of the Shannon people to the Yavapai copper field is one of the most important movements in re cent years, equipped as they are with successes made and their unquestion ed financial ability to carry out any Rline of development they undertake The reviving of the Yeager under these conditions is occasioning gen eral comment in mining circles of this section, indicating the making of an other big copper camp in due time.
 In closing the deal for the Yeagel a few days, ago, II. H. Dyer, genera mine superintendent for the Shannon company, participated, and he is asso ciated with Mr. Fritschi, mapping ou plan of operation.

WHY THE REACTIONARIES WANT WAR WITH MEXICO.

The Republican National Campaign Committee should have muzzled some of their orators before starting them out on the stump in the campaign which is now closed. Many of them have done more injury to the candidacy of MT. Hughes than all the verbal assaults and literature of the opposition.
 Ex-Senator Beveridge in recent speech at Kansas City advocated taking over the country from the Rio Grande to Panama
 The words clearly shocked his hearers, neighbor turned to look inquiringly at neigh bor, the declaration was so foreign that which the present or former administrations had ever advocated that 1t clearly grated on his hearers; but why should 1t affect them SO?
 He directed his sarcasm at President Wilson and the Democratic party for coning the phrase: ''He kept us out of war;
 No doubt but it is the silent policy of the republican party if they are restored to pow CT, for it is certainly the sentiment of Wall Street, and of all the predatory interests that heretofore found shelter under the protecting wings of former republican administrations

A PRE-ELECTION FALSE ALARM.

Reports were spread broadcast prior to the election to the effect that illegal registra- ton had been practiced in nearly every coun- ty in the State, including Greenlee.
 The authority for this statement was certain detective agency for some time oper- ating in Arizona, who assumed the responsi- bility of purifying our elective system on cleo ton day.
 We can say for Greenlee that no evl dence was adduced of illegal registration, nor was there any individual or collective attempt at illegal voting in any precinct in the coun- ty.
 These professional "pussy-footers" who discovered this election bug-aboo, could find a more prolific field in their strenuous endeav- or to regulate the political and social morals of Arizona, if they would devote some of their wasted energy in the detection and prose cution of the recognized violaters of law; the numerous ''bootlegging' establishments of Clifton and Morenci.
 By a successful rounding up of these joints, the "Gum-Shoe" artists could be hon estly accredited with benefcient accomplish ments, besides legitimately earning the recon pense allotted them by their employers

to guarantee square deal to a consideration aspirant for public favor.
 It is beyond question of dispute, that hundreds of electors stultified themselves in the state primaries by registering as demo- crats in order to handicap that party by re- turning men whom they desired to beat in a close contest in the general election. It does not give either of the dominant parties candidate of majority choice where more than one aspirant enters the field; hence 1t is undemocratic and un-American in concep- ton and practice.
 The primary was conceived in the brain of few idealists without one atom of practi- cal sense.
 It is to be hoped that the ensuing legis- lature will remedy it's imperfections, or to- tally erase it from the statutes.

"SID" IS A VOTE GETTER.

S1D .1S A VOL JE1
 Sidney P. Osborn our young Secretary of State, led the National, State and county candidates in Greenlee by handsome ma jority.
 MT. Osborn has proven himself worthy of the confidence of the people of Arizona by the competent and efficient manner in which he has conducted his office during the last five years, and the people of the state have shown their appreciation of his fidelity by last Tuesdays vote
 Sidney is one of the coming men in state affairs and If his record as Secretary of State in the next two years lines up with that of his past, watch for him as the logical man for more exalted positions of trust and emolument.
 It is rare thing to find the people un- apprecative when faithfully and conscient- iously served Only those who swerve from the path of duty, ever cast into the dis card by a thoughtful public.

Injured by Train.

Injured by Train.
 On Wednesday afternoon as young Richard Sidebotham was going home from school he was struck by the incoming passenger train in South Clifton and badly injured. Not notic- ing the coming train he failed to get off the track and was struck in the side and thrown from the track. He was taken to the hospital where an examination revealed a broken arm besides numerous bruises about the body. The young lad was able later to be removed to his home after the arm had been set and at this time it is reported that he is progressing nicely and suffering no ill conse- quences from the accident. As the train proceeds slowly from south Clifton to the depot probably accounts for his getting off without more seri- ous injuries.
