VIRGINIA PLANTATION BACK TO PRISON FOR EX-CONVICTS SHERIFF TAYLOR TAKES THREE TO SALEM All Hare Been Wearers of Penitenti ary Clothes Before One Sentenc ed to Sing Sing at Early Age, Sheriff Taylor left today for Salem, having In his custody three ex-convicts who will be turned over to the authorities at the state penitentiary to serve time again for their crimes. The three men are William Reno, R. W. Jillett and R. C. Padden. Reno will probably have the short est time to serve and he Is undoubt edly the hardest character of the three. At one time he served a sen tence in the Washington penitentiary at Walla Walla and last night con fessed that at the age of 19 he wa sentenced to Sing Sing for a term of five vears. He is known to have sev era! aliases, among them being Will Berger and Yorky Bill, the latter be lng the name under which he goes among the yeggmen. He Is proficl cient in his use of the slum vernacu lar and to anyone interested In this particular class of humanity, a con versation with him would prove ex tremely edifying. Reno was convicted of attempted sodomy, the case coming here from Cmatilla, and he was given the maximum sentence of two and a half years for his offense. That he is not totally without a sense of shame was evinced last night when he broke down for the first time since his Im prisonment not he explained, because he was being "sent over," but because of the nature of the crime for which he was sentenced to prison. Jillett will make the penitentiary his home for an indeterminate length of time, his sentence being from one to seven years, the time to be deter mined by his behavior. He was con victed of obtaining money under false pretenses, having passed a worthless check with the signature of Twohy Bros, forged. Jillett Is an old man and claims to have been an engineer on the run from here to Huntington 20 years ago. He is known also under the name of J. H. White and has serv ed time In a penal institution before. Padden, the third or tne trio, like his fellow prisoners, has an alias, having been known under the name of R. C. Clayton at various times in his career, and, like them also, he has worn the stripes before. He is being sent up this time for receiving stolen goods, having been implicated in the O. R. & N. boxcar robbery. The woman who claims to be his wife and who goes under the names of Dorothy Clayton and Violet Padden, is also la dieted on the same charge but her trial has not yet been held. COL. H. G.

For the purpose of making the chil dren familiar with practical affairs the older pupils of the Hawthorne school are being taken upon excur sions to some of the public Institu tions about the city. Yesterday Miss Warren, principal of the school, took the eighth grade class to the public library where the use of the reference books was explained to them by the librarian. Miss Fleek. Today the pu pils of the seventh grade class were .ken to the court house by their teacher, Miss Conklin, and there the work of the various offices and courts was explained to them. Much Disturbance at Theater. Manv of the patrons of the Ore gon theater last night were complain ing bitterly of the lack of consldera tion which causes some people to mar the enjoyment of others by con stantly talking and laughing In audi ble tones. This sort of disturbance was kept up through the entire per formance last night, even In the most intense moments, and the offenders were not hoodlums who congregate In the Irtick gallery, but respectable people who are evidently Impressed, with their own superior powers of Judgment and think this the best man ner of exhibiting their supercritical faculties. The method is exceedingly annoying to the average theatergoer and is a very selfish form of self-indulgence.

Claim for reimbursement was made by Assistant Naval Constructor E. S. Land, of the New York navy yard for medical services rendered while he was sojourning In Englewood, N J., where he had gone to 'escape the oppressive heat of the city." The comptroler ruled that it was not the fault of the government that Land was beyond the reach of the naval surgeon, and that he would have to pay the bill out of his own pocket Chickens Run Farm.

MORMONS HERE FOR REVENGE Determined to take keen revenge for the first defeat they have suffer ed for two years, the Mormon bas ketball team of La Grande arrived In Pendleton this afternoon to meet It Is expected to have the local high school quintet . in a game tonight It was this team that the wearers of the big P humiliated laBt Thursday evening in their home city by the score of 29 to 22, but the winners admit that part of their sue cess was due to the overconfldence their opponents. The Mormons were undoubtedly the most formidable aggregation which the local boys met In their re cent tour and they are far from sat isfied with the outcome of the game with Pendleton. They believe they have tho superior tenm and will en deavor to prove It tonight However, the local boys are confi dent that they can repeat their form er feat and,- because of the advantage which they have in playing on their home floor, they are figuring on winning the game by a much larger margin than before. It Is certain that one of themost exciting contest ever held here will bo witnessed, whichever way the game goes. The high school un doubtedly has tho fastest and clcvor est tenm In Its history and their team work Is really wonderful. The ex penso attached to bringing the La Grande team over is considerable and as the boys arc deserving of the pat ronage of the public, It Is to be hoped that a big crowd will bo present to witness the exhibition tonight. IRRIGATION FOR WILLAMETTE VALLEY Portland, Ore. Although the rain fall for the Willamette valley has al ways been considered ample for all purposes, comes now the proposal to Irrigate it. A syndicate has been formed at Portland and a tract of 4,- 000 acres near Salem will be watered by means of a canal from the Santl- am river. The land has been purchased and work is now going forward on the ir rigatlng canals, the canals and laterals completed In time for watering the coming sea son's crops. It will be a surprise to some that a district where over 44 incnes or rainfall a year is experienced needs irrigation, but experts have decided that much larger crops will be pro duced if water is supplied during the height of the growing season, mid summer, which is a period of scant moisture. Alfalfa, forage crops for dairy cattle, root crops and fruits arc found to produce greater yields as well as much better quality where water is supplied to the thirsty ground. Irrigation in the Willamette valley Is much of an experiment. It is true, but those behind the project believe It offers a great future for Western Oregon In vegetable growth and in fact all lines of intensive farming, The men behind the syndicate are prominent In Portland and while they expect the project to make money they also regard the venture In the light of missionary work, believing the whole valley will be greatly In creased In fertility as the result. E. G. Hopson, supervising engineer of the t'nlted States reclamation ser vice, has nnxsed upon the project and h e declares no omer irrigation worn n n the promise of success. the Pacific coast surpasses this or the structure over Sprague Gulch, where the Spokane, Portland & Seat tle Railway crosses It, about 40 mil" west of Spokane. It will cost about $400,000 to fill It and the contract nas been let. The railroad trestle Is 6000 feet long, almost a mile, and varies In height from 40 to 90 feet. It will take about 2,600,000 yards of earth to com plete the fill, It Is estimated. A tract of 100 acres nearby has been pur chased by the railroad company and steam shovels will scoop the dirt Into the cars which will dump it into the gulch. An Idea of the magnitude or the work may be gained from tne tact that it will take at least two years, anu nosslblv longer, to complete the Job. The gulch spanned by tne iresue is vptv lone and deep ravine, dui com naratlvelv little water flows mrougn It. A concrete arch will provide for the flow of this water, manner, while the soloists have their rnrts almost perfected. Tho words of this opera are not meaningless Jingles, but are really significant and explain situations thoroughly, and tho music Is both beautiful nnd catchy. A chorus of bridesmaids, consisting of a number of Pendleton young so ciety ladles, makes a particularly beautiful featuro and the Jurymen can not bo blamed for falling desperate ly In love with them, nor can the de fendant bo very severely criticized for trying to adjust matters by promis ing to "marry two wives at a time." This he is prevented from doing by "Judge" Thomas Williams, who la tickled todeath to mary one himself. Oregon theater, February 6, aus pices Parish Aid of tho Church of the Redeemer.
