SNEAK THIEVES WORKING.
Garages and Pantries Visited. Auto
Tires and Butter Taken.

During the past week several pet
ty burglaries have been reported. On
last Wednesday night some prowler
visited the d. Swenson home on Riv-
er street and stole all the butter they
could find in the pantry. Other pla-
ces, we understand, were visited and
stuff taken the same night.
On Sunday night thieves broke
into garages at the homes of S. Lar
sen, near the City Park and DR.. o.
Boe's on the West Side. They took
the extra tire off of Mr.. Larsen's
Chandler car and also the storage
battery.
While they didn't take anything
from DR.. Boe's garage, they never
theless tore the casing off from the
extra tire on the car, to find out the
make, perhaps. 1t evidently wasn't
what they wanted, so they left it,

SANFORD GOES TO OTTUMWA
WELL KNOWN MANAGER OF
GRAHAM'S TO LEAVE
DEBORAH.
Will Have Charge of the Financial
End of String of Stores.

Mr.. r. P. Sanford, the we'll known
manager of Graham's store in this
city, will leave DEBORAH with his
family about June 1st, for Ottumwa,
Iowa, where Mr.. Sanford has taken
another position with the Graham
people, who own a string of stores
in different parts of the country. Mr..
Sanford will have charge of this
string of stores, and it will be his
duty to look after them in financial
way, that is to say to see that they
are run in a proper manner and pay
out financially. In other words it
will be his duty to make business
analysis.
Mr.. Sanford came to DEBORAH in
1913 and opened a variety store in
the Freeman building on West Wat
er street. He made a success of the
business from the start, and demon
strated that he was a business man
from the ground up. He carried fine
line of goods and had the happy
faculty OF treating his customers
right and on the square, and his
business grew and was substantial
all the time. He was alive to the
peoples needs, was a judicious user
of printers ink, and made name for
his store in the short time he was
here that sometimes takes years to
build.
After conducting his store in the
Freeman building for a while he Sc
cured lease on the new NARROW
building and moved his stock there,
and opened up fine modern store,
and increased his business to a great
degree. In 1915 the Graham
Lattimer people of Ottumwa, who OPP
crate chain of stores came here
and opened up in the quarters va
Gated by Mr.. Sanford. After a few
months business here they made an
attractive offer to Mr. Sanford to buy
his store and he sold out to them,
and became the manager. That he
has made a success of it there is no
question, and the fact that he is now
called to a much higher position
with the firm is 40 surprise. He has
simply worked hard and made good
and the Graham people are very
fortunate in getting his services,
and we regret very much to lose him
and his estimable family from our
midst.

ELY.PIOCHE-LAS VEGAS ROAD

When the county commissioners
meet today they should take some ac-
tion in an endeayor to obtain the CO.
operation of the commissioners of
Clark county in the building of a
highway which will connect up Ely,
Phoebe, Panaca, Caliente, Alamo and
Las Vegas. We understand nothing
has been done with that end in view
and we believe now is the opportune
time to get busy on the proposition
The people of this county, at the
recent election, voted a bond issue OF
100000 for the purpose of improv
ing our public high ways. Clark coun
ty residents also voted a bond issue
Of $50, 900 for the same purpose ant
it occurs to us that our southern
neighbors, being of the progressive
kind, will be glad to work with Lin
coin county in opening up nev
north and south road across the
particularly in view of the
fact that Las Vegas and other Clarl
county points would be benefited
The people of Clark county are great
" interested in the Arrowhead Trai,
to southern California-and SO arc
the people of Lincoln county for thai
matter; for no doubt many of oul
people would travel over the Arrow
head Trail if a way were provided tt
get access to it. Likewise residents
of Ely and points further north, ever
into southern Idaho, would come
down through here if the road were
open to Las Vegas. The ElyLas We
gas road built through Lincoln coun
ty would make splendid feeder TO
tine Arrowhead Trail. 1t would take
very little fixing to make first elias!
highway from Ely to Phoebe; from
Phoebe to Caliente a considerable
amount of work will be required tC
make the highway first class; from
Caliente to Alamo it will not require
great amount of labor to put the
road in shape. From Alamo to the
Clark county line, we are told, gooe
road can be built for reasonable
amount of money Now if Clark coun
ty will come forward and meet us a.
the county line, the way will be clear
We would suggest that it might Dc
a good idea for, say one commission
er each from White Pine, Llncoif
and Clark counties to meet at some
convenient point and go over inc
situation and devise plans for the
opening of this piece OF highwa,
early in the present year. A DIG
stream of travel would come thlS
way as soon as the outlet to the AT
rowhead Trail becomes known 1t
would be progressive move Let 5
get busy.
