ON THIS ISLAND.

If you spend your holidays at Hal
eiwa you are near enough to town to
run in and buy what may be needed
in case Of emergency. The bathing
there is superior to any on the islands,
for the beach is entirely free from
coral. The fishing is good and boating
is a pleasure beyond anything in the
harbor here. The manager of
Haleiwa hotel has in mind always the
comfort and pleasure of his guests,
and frequent dances, country rides
and tennis and golf matches are the
result. Haleiwa offers inducements
not found elsewhere on the island and
the house is well patronized all year
round in consequence.

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY.

It is said there are certain springs
in Europe that give relief and cure
to Eczema and other skin diseases
If you knew that by washing in these
waters you could be relieved from
that awful itch, wouldn't you make
an effort to take the trip to Europe
at once? Would you not be willing
to spend your last cent to find the
cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here in your own home town!
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only in D. D. D. Pre-,
scription will bring instant relief 70
that terrible burning itch, and leave
the skin as smooth and healthy as
that of child.
Best possible wash for pimples ana
all skin impurities.
If you have not already tried 1t

of instant relief. Benson, Smith q

ARMY AND NAVY
Committee is interested.

Committee is interested.
The committee, of which Represen-
tative Harvey Helm of Kentucky, is
chairman, seemed much interested in
Gen. Woods comments on small ana
large garrisons and in the depart
ments plan to abolish one-half of the
existing army posts.
Scattered small garrisons," said
Gen. Wood, have rendered the in
struction of officers in the command of
large bodies Of troops practically i'm
possible"
Small posts were undesirable for
many reasons, the chief of staff said
One of the main objections was that
at small post a large percentage of
the men were always busy cleaning up
and doing police duty.
This condition." he said, lis dis
couraging both to officers and men,.
At battalion post, with sixty-fye
men to the company, an officer who
can turn out twenty-five for drill is
fortunate. So the small post is I'M
desirable, not only from an economic
standpoint, but also from the stand
point of straight military efficiency"
Gen Wood explained that by a
small post" he meant a post of less
than one regiment and added that by
far the greater part of the army was
scattered around the country in this
way The War Department was con-
siderably embarrassed in making plans
for the abandonment of many of these
posts, Gen Wood said by the fact that
o great deal of money had been spent
on them in recent years. He display
ed hesitancy in cTiticising the policy
of former heads of the War Depart
nent and the military establishment
that had permitted the carrying out Of
this policy, but finally described the
process as ell advised" Gen. Wood
ALSO spoke of local influences as an
embarrassment to the department in
it's efforts to abolish many Of the
existing posts.
Maneuvers Along Border.
Were the Texas maneuvers a sue
cess?" Chairman Helm inquired
Yes" the general replied, "in so
far as getting the regular regiments
to the front on time was concerned.
/ There was no delay on the part of the
troops, but we gave the railroads
practically no advance notice and in
some cases there was a delay in get
ting cars to transport the men"
did the mobilization demonstrate
the lack of team work in the army
organizations" Mr. Helm inquired.
mo" Gen. Wood replied, every
thing went very smoothly

LIFT
NOT CERTAIN

There is still a possibility that
the city commission will make fur
Ither reconsideration of It's avow-
ment to build vertical lift bridge
over the Eleventh street site.
The fact that the vertical peo-
|ple seemed to have an inside
|channel since the matter came up
recently for final determination
aroused sufficient opposition to
hasty adoption of the vertical type
that Mayor Fawcett has decided
to personally inspect the Portland
vertical lift bridge. Makers of
other bridges have been open in
their declarations that they were
unfairly treated as regards a
chance to present their figures
and bids.
Municipal bodies are anxious
to see the best possible bridge
adopted and are urging the COM
mission not to let the vertical peo-
pie have their own way to the
detriment of other concerns.
A majority of answers received
to inquiries regarding bridges in
the east favor the bascule type,
of which there are several varie-
ties. 1t is pointed by easterners
that the bascule type requires less
maintenance outlay than the yerti-
cal type.

ASKS COMFORT FOR
The UNEMPLOYED

Commissioner Freeland does
not like to see the poor unemploy-
ed citizen freeze to death, and If
the city cannot give him job he
wants it to give him a decent place
to sit down in the warmth while
he is waiting for one from some
,One else.
At the city hall free employ
ment bureau there is an average of
25 men standing on the pavement
waiting for someone to call for a
1aborer. Many of these men live
here, have homes here and want to
stay here. The city conducts a
bureau to try to find them en-
ployment, but there are more men
than jobs these days.
So the sidewalk is always full.
They stand there for hours until
they are chilled through and have
to seek a warm place.
And there is no place they can

Freeland brought 1t before the
commission this morning, and

PITTSBURG, Jan. 9.-Mrs.
Edith Strobacker, arrested in con-
nection with the mysterious poi
lsoning of her millionaire husband,
Geo. N. Strobacker, was today
taken violently i'll in her cell. The
physicians declared that she was
suffering from strychnine poison
ing.
Her husband is recovering. The
sudden illness of his wife has led
the police to believe that a third
person must have been involved in
the two cases, and they are con-
ducting rigid examination today
Mrs. Strobacker, they say, could
not have been poisoned before her
arrest and the strychnine must
have been given her after she was
locked in her cell. An examina-
tion of the food brought her is
being made.
Jelly spread on bread which
formed a part of Strobacker' s
lunch, was found to contain
enough strychnine to kill 20 men.
Mrs. Strobacker asserts that she
knows nothing of the case, and
says she did not poison her hus-
band.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 9.-The first
question of importance to come
before the Legislature which con-
vened here for it's biennial session
will be the consideration of sew
|eral measures put forward with
the view of limiting the power OF
the courts to punish for construc-
tive contempt.
Sentiment outgrowing from the
action of Judge Gillian in SEN
fencing two editors of the Seattle
Star to Jail because they criticised
him for issuing an injunction re-
Gently is responsible for the
movement. Judge Gillian held
that the editors were in contempt
because they published the criti-
cisms while the action was still
pending. The court had issued a
restraining order on the applica-
ton of the Stone-Webster traction
company that had raised its rates.
The document enjoined all pat
rOns of the company from raising
a disturbance while aboard the
street cars. As q result of this
decision, practically all of the
proposed anti-injunction measures
are constructed to curb the arbi-
trary power of the courts to pun
ish for criticisms made outside the
court room.
q n NOR n y n n
will be a proposal to restore the
nomination of the justices of the
supreme court to the direct vote of
the people. This privilege was
taken away during a special ses-
sion of the Legislature in 1909.
According to present indications
the initiative and referendum will
be taken up and an attempt made
to pass the measures which have
proved so popular in Oregon.
Proponents of the movement for
the direct election of United States
senator will likewise make a fight
for the passage of a law that will
bind a legislative candidate to
vote for the candidate who re-
ceived the popular endorsement
for the senatorship at the preced-
ing election.
Labor interests will present sew
eral measures for action. Among
them will be a proposal for an
eight hour day, six day week law
fer working women and more
stright regulation of child labor.

CRUSHED ROCK DEAL

Times Exposure Starts Evident Covering of Tracks
by "Me and Mettler."

The agitation of affairs of the
commissioners by the Times evil
IDENTIFY has caused me and Met
tier to begin to cover up some of
the tracks made in the past.
Action has been started since
the Times exposures were made to
collect $4,000 due from the Wells
Construction company for crushed
rock used on the state aid road.
The records at the court house
will show that on this road for
which the Wells Construction COM
pany had the contract the county
paid $4,000. But under the
astute business" leadership of
N0rger Peterson the county never
thought about collecting it's bill
for crushed rock furnished.
Just what sort of a game was
being played on this deal may
strike some people as queer. Here
was the Wells Construction COM
pany, of which Simon Mettler was
one of the big owners, buying
rock from the county to build a
road for which the county had to
pay a share of the cost. And when
the road was finished and accept
