Cline, undoubtedly professional yegg-
men, robbed the post office at Clifford.
They left no clue, but in less than a
week they were under arrest and to-
day'went to McNeill's Island for four
and three years, respectively, for the
crime. Lloyd Woodress and Robert
Spoiler had been successful burglars
for weeks, but today are on the road
to the penitentiary at Boise. There is
still much truth in that old saying,
Honesty is the best policy"

There is an old and true saying
that murder will out" and it applies
to other crimes than murder. Rob-
berry seems about as hard to cover up
as murder. A short time ago a pro-
fessional burglar robbed the bank at
Asotin, getting $4,000. There was
absolutely no clue. One day, within
a week after the burglary the Port
land police raided a house where it
vas believed boot-legging was being
carried on and one of the men ar
rested had $4,000 in cash and
Liberty bonds on his person. These
were identified as having been the
property of the Asotin bank and
WEIGH (that being the name Of the
man arrested) was taken to Asotin,
pleaded guilty and was given a pris-
on sentence. Jack Dalton and Dan

Pearl HarbOr Dry Dock.

The Pearl Harbor dry dock, ded-
icated by Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels at Honolulu this week, is one of
the biggest and most modern dry
docks in the world.

ing the General Electric Company, had

famous dock, and Mr.. Sees many

the largest in the world. 1t is 1901
feet long and has an inside width Of
1888 feet and inside depth of 32%
feet. 1t will accommodate any ship
af1oat, and represents an investment
of more than $5,000,000.
Pearl Harbor has an area of APP
proximately 10 square miles. Its
depth is approximately 60 feet. En-
trance to the harbor has been made
safe for all time by dredging and
other work done by the United States.
The dry dock had been under con-
struction since 1910. Its opening had
been planned to take place long be-
fore today but various delays and the
war caused postponement. The most
serious delay occurred when the en-
tire bottom of the dry dock ~upheaved
suddenly, running all work that had
been done and delaying construction
for a year. First theories were an

must pay tax on the entire property. In order to rem
der land speculation Improbable, it is likewise proposed
to assess idle land, along with railways and public
utilities. at 100 percent of actual value, while land un-
der crops Will be assessed at only so percent. There is
under consideration a plan to create an industrial COM
mission of three members-the governor. the attorney
