EMPLOYMENT MAN JOINS |. W.
-FOUR

Judge J. Stanley Webster SEN
fenced a quartet of offenders to
Walla Walla for from two to Is
years this morning.
William Campbell. who, with a
pal called Slim" held up a man
near the Dempsey hotel a short
time ago, was sentenced to from
two to five years. The light SEN
tence was imposed because of his
youth and the fact that the Judge
considered him victim of bad
companions rather than criminal
at heart.
Frank Pilegge. the Italian who
attempted to criminally assault
Miss Laura Newlin at Piedmont
station on October 26, was SEN
fenced to from five to Is years.
Attorney Mack filed notice of an
appeal. 49,,
James Gilbert, the man who dip
ped his slippery fingers into the
trousers pocket of stranger, only
to find himself imprisoned by the
strong arms of that worthy, was
sentenced to from two to Is years
for grand larceny.
Mike Junimintz, the Italian black.
mailer, was given from three to
five years for his crime. In com
pany with Tom Latella, he threat
ened to shoot F. Martini unless he
"came through" with $50.

DEPOT
IS IN SIGHT

The city council will meet in spe-
cial session tonight to consider the
request of the railroads that the
price of the city hall property be
reduced from S352,000 to $275,000.
If this is granted, there is strong
probability that all of the railroads
of the city outside of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific will
unite in the plan to build a union
station on the ground between
Howard and Washington streets.
A resolution that practically COM
mitted the railroads to build the
union depot was adopted at the
meeting of the union depot COM
mittee, yesterday, providing the
city makes the right concessions.
The committee asked the council to
grant the concessions, and the city
fathers will meet tonight to con-
slider the proposition.

rested and taken to Jail.
Bond was fixed at $500 and the
man remained in custody more
than an hour before his friends
came to his rescue with the nee
cry coin.
This agency, it is said by the
mayors office, has been causing
much trouble of late, eliminating
the other day when they sent seven
men to Lind, and refusing to pay
their expense, in the neighborhood
of $72, when the men returned
here, reporting their inability to
get work.
Boppel & Bisby, the contractors
at Lind, have a standing order for
from 10 to Is men a day at their
camp, when, as a matter of fact
they only employ II men. The
mayor believes that the contractors
and employment agents have been
sending men to Lind and dividing
the fees.

Scott, the British explorer, who in
tends to dash for the south mole
next August, today said Wat he
hopes the American expediq6n nay
start at the same time.
"The American party could make
a start from the Horn o nthe Amer
lean side of the world and strike
the great ice barrier somewhere in
Grahamland. We will reach the ice
wall in McMurdo sound and follow
the route taken by Lieutenant
Shackleton, who reahced within ali
miles of the pole. 1t is quite liJneiy
that the two expeditions could
meet and continue on the ground
in the effort to reach the pole. Two
such parties attacking the problem
from different points, and perhaps
ultimately cooperating, will be of
inestimable benefit to exploration
and science"
