P. Armstrong and Robert Armstrong; two trials of Ed Ruby, for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and two trials of Emery Ilardiman, on a rob bery charge. The Armstrong brothers iind Hardlman were acquitted at their second trial. The first trial In each in stance resulted in a hung jury.The jury disagreed in both the Ruby trials. Two juries that tried E. E. Mitchell for the murder of George Morgan dis agreed, after which Mitchell was dis charged; the Joe Mossi jury disagreed; L.uigi Farchl was acquitted of the murder of Mike Zenola, a saloonkeeper, and Vladimir Biduff was convicted of the murder of Jessie Wilson and was sentenced to life Imprisonment. George Hohoff, Riduff's partner in the murder of the Wilson woman pleaded guilty i-.nd received a sentence of life im prisonment. More than 10O Plead Guilty. The other cases disposed of included crinjes of almost every nature, more than 100 of the defendants pleading guilty, a large majorit;- of the others being found guilty after trial. When Judge Kavanaugh took up the work there were 264 criminal cases on the docket. During the three months between 60 and 75 new indictments have been returned, bringing the total number of cases on the docket to about 325, of which a few more than 100 criminal cases remain on the calendar. Every deputy district attorney in Mr. Evans' office has taken part in one or more of the trials, besides at ' tending to civil matters, presenting cases to the grand jury and attending preliminary hearings in the district courts. CITY "SHORTED" IS CHARGE Contractors Sand Deli-veries Are Be ing Checked Up. Having received reports from re liable sources that contractors furnish-" ing sand and gravel to the city for sidewalk construction and street re pair have been giving short measure, City Commissioner Bigelow has begun an investigation. Pending the completion of a check of the dealings, a warrant for $900, payable to Henry Foote, has been held up by order of Mr. Bigelow. Mr. Foote says the report is unfounded and he will be vindicated. Mr. Bigelow says he has not finished the investigation and will not. know the facts until a report giving figures on purchases and deliveries is completed. It is said the quantities o material taken at the docks for delivery to the city have differed from the quantities actually delivered, the shortages ap parently having developed between the time the materials were accepted and their arrival at delivery points. JEWELRY PLACED IN VAULT loot Secured From Department Stores Guarded by County. All of the jewelry, valued at more than $3000. recovered from the women held in connection with large depart ment store robberies, was deposited yesterday In a safety box In one of the banks. District Attorney Evans, after a conference with Deputy Robi son, decided it best not to keep the valuables longer in the light safe at their diHposal. Four of the women charged with being connected with the large thefts have been bound over to the grand jury, and a half dozen others held as witnesses. It is probable that the grand jury will have time this week to take up these cases, but the sched ule for the next few days has not yet been arranged. Schools Are Standardized. JUNCTION CITY. Or..

D. Abbott, A. L. Barbur, City Auditor; Rufus Holman, County Commissioner, and Roger Sinnott have, been added to the original com mittee by President Averill. W. J.

TO Salary of Temporary Appointee Under Mr. Dieclc Being Held Up Forces to Issue Reent Declsloa. Following recent announcement of the Mulcipal Civil Service Board that members of tbe City Commtslson must remove temporary appointees and fill their places with permanent civil serv ice employes, the board yesterday or dered the pay warrant of H. W. Holmes, chief of the Bureau of High ways and Bridges, held up. This ac tion brings to an Issue a problem which may have to be settled in the courts. The Holmes appointment has been the cause of trouble between the board and Commissioner DIeck for several months past. As a result of the action, Mr. Holmes will not be paid for his services last month. The salary is $200 a month. The action means also that Mr. Holmes either will have to work for nothing or Commissioner Dleck will have to take the proposition into the courts for settlement or remove Mr. Holmes and appoint one of three men who passed tho civil service examination held to procure ellgibles for the position. Mr. Holmes failed to pass. Commissioner Dleck has retained him" in the position under temporary ap pointment. Complaint has been made by Mr. Dleck that the examination pa pers were not properly corrected and rated. Members of the Civil Service Board say three responsible engineers of the city rated the papers and that others thoroughly competent have ex amined them since and have declared the ratings to be proper.

AMONG the most attractive spots in the wonder ful Pacific Northwest, where nature has been suppleme nted by all modern comforts and con. veniences. wlthr"t herself being marred or tamed ,.rOInthC virginlal grandeur, is Sol Due Hot Springs, "in the Heart of the Olympics." Leaving Seattle on the magnificent steel steamer Sol Due. the trip is -past the San Juan Islands and over one of the most beautiful Inland seas in the world to the historic and picturesque little city of Port Angeles. From Port Angeles, "the port of angels." the Sol Due Auto Stages take you over twenty miles of wind ing roads through the primeval forests, where the trees stand twelve feet through and cover miles and miles of park-like grounds through which the Elwah River makes its way, its great oriran tones thrilling the forest for miles on either bank. Emerging from this cathedral-like shade you find Lake Crescent, a wonderful body of clear water, 12 miles long, with nigged, rockbound shores, picturesque Inlets and mag nificent distances. The waters teem with trout of all kinds, while the country around is filled "with pretty and wild elk, bear and other big game. Here the swift little steamer "Betty Earles" takes you over the lake, and the Journey ends with an hour's ride through the Olympic National Forest Re serve upon one of the finest scenic highways In tbe world. Now you are in the most romantic and picturesque ? "B0ts- Half hidden among the primeval firs stands the Sol Due Hotel, a structure that might grace any city In the land, with Its 165 steam-heated, handsome ly furnished rooms, with everv convenience at hand, spacious lobbies and verandas, magnificent dining rooms and well-kept surroundings. There Is also the 100-room Sol Due Sanitarium, distinct and apart from the hotel proper, also handsomely furnished, and with its own dining-room and corps of servants. It is under competent medical supervision and contains one of the finest equipped surgeries in the world. Nicely furnished and electric-lighted tents, with full hotel service, are provided for the use of those who like the out-of-door life In full. There are also sepa rate bathing pavilions for men and women, and the not springs only a few steps away, reached by pic turesque covered walks. All the latest and most scientific methods known In hydrotherapv are em ployed In the Sol Due baths. Including the tub. shower mud. vapor, electric Russian and Turkish, with sclen- InasM!te and a corps of trained attendants. .. T"p perfectly appointed Sol Due model farm, with Its high-bred dairy herd and Its modern poultry yards pr2.Ytd?, a" abundance of fresh milk, cream and eggs The Sol Duo country offers the best of fishing and hunting. There are miles of trails through the moun tains for horseback riding, romantic trips to falls and lakes, and attractions everywhere to woo the weary to rest and the invalid to exercise and good appetite. Neither has the management neglected more sophisti cated amusement, such as tennis courts, hand ball, bowling, moving pictures and a fine ball room where the guests can tango to their heart s content, inspired to rythmic motion by the sweet strains of tho Sol Due Orchestra. The Sol Due Hot Springs have an elevation of 17o feet: a delightfully mild climate all the vear. and all about the Olympic Mountains circle their lofty pro tection and sublime beauty. The remarkable medicinal and curative properties of the bol Due Hot Springs have been heralded world wide. The Magical Water comes from the earth at a temperature of 140 degrees K. That dreaded and al most universal foe or mankind, rheumatism, and its kindred ailments quickly disappear under its wonder ul heal'" power. The cure of diabetes, kidney, bladder, liver and stomach troubles are also among its victories. The following Is an extract from the official analv- eU,.ma? by tne department of chemistry. University of Washington: "The preponderating compounds are the car bonates and bicarbonates of sodium. Such waters Increase metabolism, dissolve uric acid and allay irritation of the mucous membrane of the urin ary tract. They have, therefore, been used with , excellent results In treating acid dvspepsia, rheu matism, gout and diabetes, and are of value in -breaking up and eliminating uric deposits and uric sand and gravel." Following a widespread demand, the Sol Due Waters are now bottled at the Springs and shipped broadcast. They soon will be introduced to the people of Port land in still and sparkling form.
