S. VanDyke, Clerk. POLICE' FAIL TO SOLVE s SEATTLE MtRDK A CASE Seattle, April 8. Aroused by the atrocious nature of the double mur der of Mrs. Corlnne Wheeler and her sister, Miss Kate Swift, Governor Lister today conferred in Seattle with Prosecuting Attorney Lundln, with a view. .to offering a state reward' for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. "The brutality of the crime," the governor said, "makes it imperative that the guilty one be apprehended. If anything the state can do by way of offering a reward, it is my pur pose that' it" shall be done." After 60 hours of investigation, the police have made no progress to ward solution of the mystery. Since the aged sisters were found with their heads crushed In, lying In the rooms of their home, practically no evi dence has been gained to sustain any of the theories advanced by city detectives.

Cable messages indicated that the Chantala was sunk by a submarine. The others probably struck mines. un Win i EVERY purchase you make at this store is to your advantage. SOME people call, it luck to have a place like ours at which to trade. Others think they are lucky because they save money here. BUT there's the secret of it all-we started doing business with the cus tomers' interests at heart, and we have continued it. ONE thing we are sure of-it's no game of chance to keep people pleased. On the contrary, it necessitates sticking everlastingly at it, and that's cur policy. I Si R. STORES GO. Successors to C. P. BISHOP & CO. Grants Pass, Ore.
