BY J. L. HoFFLuNo

The full story of the robbery of the Risbee postoffice on the night of April 3. of S40.000 in currency, was told last night to a Review reporter by Matt Keaton. in his cell in the B'sbee jail. When he was through with his story Kea- toR heaved great sighs of relief.
 "How I slept last night." he sa d. ''The first time l have had a good sleep since we pulled the stunt. l never felt so good in my life as when I finally came clean and told what I know"
 And believe me-" chimed in G. s. Rose, postoffice detective. known as the man of mystery" Hast night was. the first decent sleep have had in three weeks"
 You want to know just how it was done?" asked Keaton ''I am tired" He hcsitated. 'T have told it all before and 1 hate to start again.
 Planned Weeks Before
 'Well-it was planned several weeks before. but Bailey wanted to wait until there was something worth while. When the S4O,0oO came in, that. was, the time. Bai- lev told me to come to the post office that night, and when l came I found him in the little room where he was found tied. He had the package of money with him. It would not seem so suspicious to see Bailey around the postoffice at night, so he was to take it out and put it in his car which was outside. He took it out and slipped it into the front seat of his car.
 ''It was ticklish business" continued Keaton. and he smiled wistfully. Bailey, stayed outside for time to see if anybody was around and then came in and sig nailed that the coast was clear I slipped out as naturally as l could; took the package from the front seat of Bailey's car and put it into mine. This was the worst part of it. I had to return to heat Bailey up and tie him. told him that I ought to do it first but ne said that he wasn't going to sit there tied and gagged any longer than he had to. He had tried the gag in his mouth. and said that he couldn't stand it all night"
 Buried the Loot
 Here Keaton's audience could scarcely refrain from laughter The prisoner joined in the amuse ment and smiled at the recollee- tion of beating. his partner and tying and gagging him.
 T took the money" continued

SHOULD HAVE A MAIL ROUTE
TO CLEAR LAKE

We can see no gooda reason why
there should not be direct mail
route from Beaver TO Clear Lake
A star route now goes in that di-
rection as far as Riverside and IL
occurs to us that II should not be
hard matter TO have the same
extended on into Clear Lake. AS
II is mail that should reach the
county seat from that section is
SO detoured that almost a week Is
required in transit. Mail from
Beaver to Clear Lake goes to For
gan, thence to Laverne where IL Is
transferred TO the Logan route and
from Logan TO Clear Lake, going
all around Robin Hoods barn to
reach distance of only 23 miles.
IL the route from Beaver to River
side were extended to Clear Lake.
or even better, to Logan, the re-
turn trip could be made in one
day and some service given. There's
something radically wrong with a
system that requires from three to
four days to transport United States
mail 23 miles. Let's get busy
with the department. This condi-
tion should. and doubtless could.
be remedied.

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Talon, OF
Hawthorne. Colorado. near Denver.
were here Saturday on brief visit
TO their niece. Mrs. j, A. Miller
and husband. They drove through
by automobile and went on TO Mad
ison and Ivanhoe from this point
for a visit at the homes of Mrs.
Kate Costin and j. A. Yates. Speak
ing of roads. they were not inn
pressed very favorably with our
highways What they had to say
was not good advertising but true
nevertheless. Now that Beaver and
other Beaver towns have raised
money by which to secure the b
Line Highway and to have log
of the same entered in the T. |. b..
route book, II looks like poor bust
ness to let the roads remain in
such poor condition that after traffic
is diverted this way tourists can
have nothing good to say for us
and everybody knows that. IL in
reaching a town autoists have to
fight bad roads. all the way they
are in no humor to boost. 1t
would be better by far TO be off
the tourist highway than to be
located on such and do nothing to
keep the roads in passable eondi-
tion.

INTER-INsURANCE ASSESSMENTS

Insurance as primary basis of
credit requires as sound financing
and as intelligent state supervision
as banking.
Inter-insurance or so-called recip-
rocal insurance is making a record
of heavy losses and subscribers are
being sued to make up liabilities.
Recent failure of one of the larg-
est of these reciprocal insurance
exchchanges and not always legit-
innate insurance corporations. is the
National Merchants and Manufac-
turers of Chicago
These exchanges or reciprocals
did a big business in boom times
when losses were light, but as
losses increase on a declining mai-
ket cannot meet their liabilities.
Merchants. bankers and property
owners holding exchange or recip-
rocal policies will notice this CON
dition as affecting credit and get
proper insurance before IL is too
late.
In many cities rents are still be
ing advanced. and apartments have
been advanced from ten to forty
dollars a month.
As the population increases and
the housing problem remains un-
, solved rents are continually in
creased and who is to blame?
The rent of flats is often jumped
up from S25 to $50 a month over
night and it seems to be a contin-
uous movement.
The prices of lumber have come
down, but other building materials
/ have not come down and building
trade wages are high as ever.
Generally speaking there Is no
house building to speak of. Once
in a while some carpenter or con-
tractor with nothing to do builds
to keep busy.
Rent profiteeTing has its basis
in the absurd idea that wages of
building trades shall remain double
or at war scale when in all other
occupations labor is working for
less.
That ironclad law of the union
that the poorest workman at any
trade shall get the same pay as the
best. penalizing efficiency. and re-
ducing hours and production to a
minimum is the real cause of rent
profiteering.

Frank Fleck. cashier of the Balko
State Bank, was a business visitor
here Monday. On account of the
bad condition OF the roads he re-
mained over night in the city re-
turning home next day. While
here he called at this office and
paid us a nice compliment on some
printing which we recently got out
for his bank. In addition to the
job being much less in price he
Informed us that he was much
better pleased with the work than
some similar printing which he
formerly ordered from n lthograph-
ing concern. Had all the. work
been printed at this office we could
have saved him $500 on his one
job alone. II is needless to say
that this shop will get his orders
in the future. The only reason
Mr.. Fleck sent out for the work
was because he did not know we
could handle that class of work

They Appeal to Our sympathies

The bilious and dyspeptic are
constant sufferers and appeal to our
sympathies. Many such, however.
have been completely restored to
health by the use of Chamberlain's
Tablets. These tablets strengthen
the stomach, invigorate the liver
and improve the digestion. They
also cause gentle movement of
the bowels. When you have any
trouble with your stomach, give
them a trial
