raulldry Soap.
 "BOSTON EXTRA"

This is the name of the Laundry Soap that we have sold as our BEST for over twenty years. It is made with tbe same care to-day that 1t was when we first be- gan to handle it and stands without equal in this age of competition. It is gut up in lo-OZ. BARS (the average soap being from 10 to I2 ounces), and 75 bars con- stitute box. It will last longer, do bet ter work, and wash clothes more thor oughly than any other soap. This Is perhaps strong statement, but our cus- toners will bear us out in it. "Once a customer always customer" applies to Boston Extra Soap. If we knew of better soap we would buy it.

shoreman, So years old, supposedly in
tit of drunken rage, ran amuck IN the
North End today and for three hours he
used an eight-inch knife In very liberal
manner. He slashed the threats of his
victims and hacked four OF them right

tured by the police, he said that he was
very sorry that he had not killed his VIC
tins. He began his career by assaulting
his sister, Mrs Mary Carr, with knife
and in1icting serious II not fatal wounds
about the throat His next encounter
was with an old friend, James Kane.
whom he slashed across the face. without
a word of prnvocation. Barney Bennett
was his next victim and again his knife
was used cross the face, making deep
gashes Just before he was arrested, Clark
made his last attack, this time on Maui

the knife, infiicting q long slit on the
side of the face. Four officers had hard

MILLER'S ESCAPE.
A Young Mans Ride 90 the Cane and
Back To the Police Station.

About two O'Clock Sunday morning
John +. Dyer, who lives on Scammel's
hill in South Portland came into the po-
lice station with Constable William J.
Cribbie of knigbtville and entered a
complaint against Bert Miller, drug
clerk, whom he said had broken win
dow in his HOUSE, at South Portland and
threatened him ard his family.
According TO Mr. Dyer's story Miller
came to his house about eight o'clock Sat-
urday night and asked to see Mr.. Dyer's
daughter. MIR. Dyer told the young man
that he could not see the young woman
and ordered Miller to leave the prem
Uses. This Miller did, but returned about
twelve o'clock and asked - sso the Young
woman. MIR. Dyer at first ordered Miller
off the premises but the young man did
not go. He told MIR. Dyer, SO that gem
tleman says, that he (Miller) wanted Mr..
Dyer and his daughter to ride over to
Portland with him in hack which he
had waiting outside and see Miller's
parents.
Dyer refused to go, but afterwards said
he would go and sent his son for a con.
stable in order to have Miller arrested.
MIR. Dyer told the police that he intended
to keep Miller on the premises unit! the
arrival of the constables and in order
to do this, told the young man that he
would accompany him to Portland.
The son was gone some time and then
Mr.. Dyer decided to go after constable
himself His wife said that she could
protect herself and keep the young man
from getting into the house and Mr..
Dyer started on run for constable on
his own account.
While, he was gone MIR. Dyer charges
that Miller attempted to enter the house
through window. He charges the young
man with breaking the window and says
that he would have got into the house
if Mrs. Dyer had not prevented him do
ing so by the use of cane.
Tom Jordan, the hickman, was the
man who took Miller over to South Port
land and afterwards drove him back to
the city. Mr.. Jordan said he saw Miller
break the window but did not hear the
conversation.
Miller WAS arrested Sunday morning by
Officres Pillsbury and Lamont on the
complaint of MIR. Dyer and was locked up
in the police station.

ASSESSORS RETURNS.
Live stock increases I'm Value, the ST.
lent steed Falls on

Augusta, May 6.-The returns of the
local assessors to the board of stat, asses
sors are just beginning to come in from
the plantations and smaller towns. Those
from the cities and larger towns will not
come until later rs 1t requires more time
to prepare them. The Indications are that
they will show an increase in the values
and number of live stuck, and 1t is be-
lieved that the shrinkage Of values In
this class of property, which had been
In progress for several years was checked
last year. 1t is anticipated that there
will be decrease in the total value of
bicycles returned which was 1924. 400 last
year. owing to the very substantial fall
in the price of wheels. 1t Is noted that
April 1st Is an unreasonable time for val
uiDg bicycles. The bulk of the bicycles
are purchased in the spring after that
date and when found the next year they
are secondhand machines and not worth
much more than half what they were
when new. The present spring there has
been an enormous sale of BICYCLES since
April LIST but the assessors cannot get at
them.
1t is suggested that II dogs were taxed
directly like any other property instead
of licensed, that fewer towns would be
delinquent in taxing them. for the state
assessors would then have an opportunity
to doom these towns and they would look
sharply after collections on these AMI
mails. This dog tax continues to be one
of the most dimcult to collect of any In

This II the martial law as laid down
by General Merriam and Attorney Hayes
OF Idaho. Ata meeting Of the mine own
ers In this city today Mr.. Hayes presented
this mandate. The owners cheerfuiiy
promised to obey orders.
-HWe are going to clean mp the occur
D'Alene" said Attorney GENERAL Hayes
prior to his departure for Boise. II have
seen some Of the mine owners today ana
they have been Informed BY the proper
authorities that they cannot employ any
one connected with Q criminal organiza-
ton In the county. The miners union In
Shoshone county contains many despera-
dos and criminals who have under the
protection of the union. perpetrated
Grimes and ontrAaes. Twice has 1t been
orSs pi.ition 20 mt the county : under

THE owners living in Spokane allow
the union to run things and when the
property II threatened or riots occur - q
result they wire to the governor OF Idaho
to send troops to protest their property.
Some of those mine owners know who
the men were who left their mines to go
to Wardner for the purpose OF blowing up
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines.
They allowed them to 60 out Of the mines
to destroy the property of another and
then return to work.
We ave undertaken as'large job OF
criminal prosecution as was ever COM
menced In the history Of the country.
Trying between 700 and 800 men Is u task
OF enormous magnitude. We propose to
push the prosecution vigorously however.
in am Obliged to go back to Boise for a
few days on official business, but will
be back in about week and expect to
speDd the. entire summer In the COsur
D'Alenes.
Prisoners will be tri,d in the state and
the federal courts. Murder and arson are
some of the charges the state will bring
against these men and we hope to iufiict
the extreme penalty. The state and fed
eral authorities are working amioAbly
together in the matter and Will aid each
other all possible.
Today's meeting OF the Coeur DiAlenes
mine owners was held at the Office OF
Finch s. Campbell. Mr.. Hayes laid be-
fore us the ruling that union men must
not be employed, said Mr.. Finch after
the meeting. He said further the state
authorities would expect our co-opera-
ton and we told him they would have 1T.
Of course we can't get men right away
and we do not propose to go out and
look for them Until men sufficient to
operate the mines come in. the mines Will
have to remain closed down.
