Murder
Suspect
Is Here?

RAINIER, WASH, July 13.-
The county authorities are looking
for another suspect I'm the CobIe
murder case.
A man giving his name as Swan
Peterson, came to Rainier last Sat
urday, worked the rest of the day
and all day Monday on the section.
Tuesday morning he was missing.
He didn't even stop TO draw his
pay.
Peterson WAS regarded as q SUI
spicious looking character at the
time. All that anybody knew about
him was that he came from Port
land.
The sheriff's office admits that
the clue is but slight but the mans
strange actions and the similarity
between the Coble murder and the
slaughter of the Hill family near
Portland three weeks ago, gives
them some encouragement.
Peterson Is believed to have
headed for Tacoma.

Judge Bordwell. The court ruled
that James B. Mcnamara must go
to trial in the Times case. His
brother, John j., must stand
trial in the Times case also, and
in addition must answer for the
alleged dynamiting of the Llew-

a month after the Los Angeles

Judge Bordwell announced
that he would set the date for the
beginning of the trial at 10 a. m.

Not Afraid Of Drought

Pierre-Reports from all the coun-
try west Of the Missouri river show
that the homesteaders were not dis
couraged by the dry weather of
last year, but are busily at work in
their fields getting in the seed from
which they expect to reap a harvest
next fall. They are all developing
along lines of dry farming" which
means deep blowing and continuous
cultivation of the soil following rains.
BY this method they conserve the
moisture which gets into the soil and
can feel an assurance of crop with
far less amount of rainfall than
where ordinary rainfall is supposed to
be sufficient without cultivating to
hold it. The dry farming and con-
servation congresses which were held
in this city last summer and last win
ter did more to spread the gospel OF
water conservation in the soil than
thousands of pamphlets would do, as
it was demonstrated through talks by
practical farmers, who had tried II
out and who only told Of their actual
experience along such lines.

DIsFIcuRED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but q few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was dishgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies. and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as nne and clean a.
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has .

boy Of his age, three years. We can
