A Public Benefit
Skowhegan People Greatly Inter
ested in the Generous Offer of
Frank W. Buchanan

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust
a man who is naturally honest than
one who Is honest only because he
had to be.
Frank w. Bucknam has a firmly
established reputation for square
dealing and sterling honesty. When
they told the people that Rexall Rem
edies are the purest and most de-
pendable medicines that 1t is possib e
for modern science to produce, and
that they would tell the public what
each one of these 800 or more REM
edies contained, and that they sold
Rexall Remedies on their personal
guarantee that they would give entire
satisfaction or they would not cost
the user a single cent, they were be-
lieved.
Ever since this announcement the
largely patronized by people buying
Rexall Remedies, all of which proves
that this store has the confidence of
the people and that honesty Is the
best policy.
There is no "cure-all' among the
Rexall Remedies. There are differ
ent and separate medicines. each one
devised for a certain human ALL
ment or class of ailnnets
closely allied. For instance Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets are recommended
for the positive relief of stomach ir-
ritation, indigestion, flatulency and
dyspepsia. They are rich in Bismuth-
Subnitrate, Pepsin and Carminatives.
They are prepared by special process
es which perfect and enhance the
great remedial value of these we'll
known medicinal agents. This rem
edy sells for 20 cents, so cents. and
$1.00 per package. Every one suffer-
ing from stomach disorder should try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmuch
as they cost nothing If they do not
satisfy.
Remember, the F. w. Bucknam
store is the only store in Skowhegan
where these remedies may be OBJ
tanned, and every one in need of
medicine Is urged to investigate and
take advantage of the frank and gen

VENICE, May lot. H. Varney,
son of T. H. B. Varney of Los Angeles,
and three companions had a narrow es-
cape from death in a motor accident at
about o'clock this morning on the
Washington road, about a mile from
Venice.
In endeavoring to avoid a collision
with another machine the young man
made a sudden turn and the auto
turned turtle, throwing the occupants
to the ground, but aside from a few
minor bruises none were injured.
They partly righted the machine and
returned to Venice on foot and secured
the services of a couple of police Off
GERS to get it to a garage. on return
ing to the place of the accident the
automobile was found to have been
completely destroyed by fire, which
had ignited in some unknown manner
during their absence.
The police believe that the vehicle
was set afire by some unknown per-
son, as not a tool of the valuable
equipment which belonged to the ma
chine could be discovered in the ruins
after they had cooled sufficiently to
allow an examination.
The machine was a touring car val
ued at $4,000 and is a total loss.

POMONA BRIEFS

POMONA. May 10.-School Census
Marshal Henry Mcfarland has COM
pleted his census and as a result the
population of Pomona is now conserVa-
lively figured at 1921. This is OBJ
tanned by taking Az as the ratio of
computation. If it were figured as five
TO one. the multiple used by many cities
of the state the result would be 1880.
one hundred and twelve new families
with children of school age have moved
here during the past year, and the in
crease in school population over year
ago is 1856. The total number of chill
dren under II years of age now in Po-
mona is 279S.
Messrs. Poston. Hufford, Tate, AVIS,
Balfour, Rickerich, Hamlin, Heath and
Russell compose the committee of bust
ness. men who have in charge the mat
ter of securing special electric light
illumination for the streets of the city
during the coming week, when the
state conventions of the w. c. T. U.
and the Knights of Columbus will as
semble here.
The young deer which was captured
swimming in a reservoir near North
Pomona yesterday has been given TO
the city authorities here for the Cane
she park geological collection which is
being started. Park Superintendent
Page has had a corral and shed built
for the new acquisition.

ANGELEN0 PURCHASES NOTED
HOTEL ARCADIA
Hosiery to Be Demolished to Give
Place to mproVements-lt Is
Said Consideration Was
$4,000

SANTA MONICA, May 1O.-One OF
the largest deals in the real estate line
for a number of years has been pulled
off whereby a syndicate headed by
Carl f. Schader of Los Angeles be-
comes the owner of the famous Hotel
Arcadia and much contiguous prop
erty.
The hotel property is said to have
brought 10000. In addition to this
piece the two Heating lots at $4,000,
two Smith lots at $4,000, an adjoining
lot at $4,000 and the Arizona roomlng
house across the street at $1,000 with
the Ford property adjoining at $65O1
become the property of the same syn
dictate.
1t is stated on good authority that
the company has secured in addition
to the above options on adjacent prop
erty to the value of $20G, 900. The prop
erty already purchased has a frontage
OF 400 feet on Ocean avenue and 900
feet on the ocean front. 1t is an ideal
site for a hotel and overlooks the whole
bay. It is understood that first-class
hosiery will grace part of the tract
and that the balance will be subdl-
vided and placed on the market for
residence purposes.
1t is the intention to begin the work
of demolition of the old Arcadia build
ing at an early date.

PRICE OF LUMBER IS
CONSIDERED CHEAP
ROUGH PINE AT SAN PEDRO
SELLS FOR SIG
FREIGHT Rates on Cargo from North
Are So Low That Ship Owners
Claim to Be Losing
Money

SAN PEDRO. May 10.-The retail
price of lumber at this port is about
one-half of what it was four years
ago. First quality rough pine sells for
SIC per thousand, as against $3l which
prevailed at that time. Far sighted
property owners build during times
like these. when the prices are so low,
but others wait until prosperous times,
and pay twice the price for the ma
terial for houses.
The freight rates on lumber cargoes
from the north to this port are so low
that many companies are losing money,
but are forced to keep their vessels
going.
The rates quoted are 1915 to this
port from Mendocino ports, $3.50 from
Humboldt Bay, 1915 from Coos Bay
and "a from Grays Harbor, Columbia
river and Puget sound points. While
this is low, many cargoes are brought
to this port for considerable less money
than this. The off shore business has
likewise suffered, the rates being very
low for the long voyages as well.
Lumber men here give various rea-
sons for the low rates, but the predic-
ton is made that conditions will be
much better within a few months.

JAPANESE ARRESTED IN RAID
FORFEIT THEIR BAIL BONDS

PASADENA, May 10.--Not one Of the
sixteen brown brethren who were ar
rested in the raid on the japanese lodg-
ing house at SO South Fair Oaks Sun
day morning showed up in police court
this morning and the bonds deposited
by them were declared forfeited by the
court. Indignant at the breach of faith,
Chief Of Police H. H. Favour swore out
a warrant for the arrest of the owner
of the lodging house, NJ. Shinoara, who
was not arrested at the time of the
raid, and charged him with every Of
Tense he could think of in connection
with the case.
First, he was charged with keeping
his pool room on the second floor open
between II o'clock midnight and {
o'clock in the morning and fined $40
Then he pleaded guilty to a charge OF
allowing his premises to be used for
gambling purposes, and this cost him
$25. If any other charges can be
thought of in the future he will prob
ably have to answer to those, too. The
men in the raiding party found beer
bottles in the rooms, and the force is
now at work trying to secure evidence
in this matter.

RUSSIAN PREMlLR AND HIS
COLLEAGUES SAFE
Conference with Emperor Results in
Victory by Which All Will Re-
tain office-Rescript
Issued

ST. PETERSBURG, May ia solu-
ton of the cabinet crisis. whereby
Premier Stolypin and his colleagues in
the cabinet will retain their posts, was
arranged at conference between the
premier and the emperor, which con-
tinued until 1 o'clock this morning.
NJ. Stolypin returned to st. Peters
burg from Tsarskoe-Sel an hour later
bringing the text of an imperial re-
script, expressing the emperor's con-
fidence in the ministers and explaining
the moves leading to the rejection OF
the naval staff bill.
The crisis was solved in a manner
peculiarly Russian. The emperor re-
fused to sign the bill providing for
naval staff. because he considered 1t an
invasion of his prerogatives. He de-
clined also to accept the designations
of the cabinet and ordered the minis
ters to remain at their posts.
The latter, after reiterating their rep
resentation of the impossibility of rem
dering useful services under those con
ditions, decided that their duty, accord
ing to Russian presidents, were to con-
tinue in their present offices.
Under the new conditions the minis
try cannot be considered stable, 1t be-
ing pointed out the prerogative of the
duma is merely to vote money and a
dissolution is expected at no distant
date.
Failing to secure the acceptance of
his resignation. NJ. Stolypin, it is under
stood asked the emperor to extend his
vacation ostensibly because he had not
fully recovered from his illness. but
actually to escape the embarrassment
of facing the duma.
The Imperial Rescrlpt
The imperial rescript addressed to
Premier Stolypin follows:
Finding it impossible to sanction
the naval staff BILL l direct you,
jointly with the ministers of war and
the navy, to elaborate within month,
new regulations and submit them for
my consideration. The regulations in
question must be submitted for my
final sanction. after a discussion with
the council of ministers
Your activity as president of the
council of ministers. which has been
directed towards strengthening my
government, has met with my full
approval, and serves to guarantee the
successful execution of my present
orders.
Il remain yours, ever well disposed,
