Mr. and Mrs. George C.rlyle re
turned to their home at Oakland
yesterday evening after spending
the afternoon here on business.
Ivitts. who had been employed s
an attendant at the state hospital,
had been negotiating with other
similar institutions along the coast
for a position for some time, as is
substantiated by telegrams on file
at the Btate hospital. On the day
of the escape he received a wire
rrom . California Institution calling
him to a position. He Informed the
superintendent here that he was
quitting the following evening, but
was told his services here would
terminate that dav. and was given
a warrant for his accumulated
wages.
Ivitts took the warrant to the
state treasurer's office and cashed
it. which, with other money he had.
accounted for the J450 he said the
convicts took from him. later re

After cashing his warrant Ivitts

SALEM. Ore.. Aug. 15. Warden
Da'rymple has scarcely left his of
fice since the prison delivery of
Wednesday evening, but declares
that his proper place Is at his desk
where by telephone he can give
such directions to the manhunters
is are possible to give. The war
den did not leave the office today
to attend the funeral of J. M. Hoi
man. slain guard, who was a broth
er Jif the warden's wife.
"It would be a pleasure to me."
said the warden, "to take a gun
snd go and he'.p scour the county.
It wouldn't be as hard work and as
nerve wracking as It Is to sit here,
but there are men In the field who
are Just as capable for that work
ss I am, and I couldn't Improve the
situation any. Beside, some one
has to be here ail the time. There
are 500 prisoners here and some of
them are Just as bad as those who
got away. We might have another
breHk at any time."
Telenhone calls that poured Into
'he office from the poesemen the
first night and day after the break
now come In only at very ling In
terva's. The warden attributes
this to tho fact that the hunters
lose their "pep1 when the trail be
cnm"s cold. Still he Insists that
there has been no relaxing of vlg
llence, that he believes all points
where the convicts could possibly
he In hiding are being combed and
that all avenues of escape are be
ing guarded.
Watchful Waiting Policy.
"The passes through the mottn
tins pre being watched," the war
den said, "but I am not Informed
who Is doing It. As for roads en
tering cities and towns In nil dlrec
lons from Salem, 1 arn reiving on

t Bm sure they are on the Job now.
nrldges are being taken care of by
the state traffic squad."
Governor Pierce said today that
h" hd not advised Dalrymple as to
whether he should go into the
field, but was allowing the warden
to ue hi. own discretion. "The
otiestinn Is too silly to talk about."
said the governor.
It has been the practice of many
former wardens to nartlcipate per
sonsllv In msnr manhunts. Former
Wsrden Iwson Is ssld to have
done this. Warden Harry Mlnot

In a series of article, appear

giving the life story of Judge
Itlddle, commandant ot the Ore
gon State Soldiers Home. Mr.
Iyorkley's stories of the early pio
neer life in this section of the
state are very interesting and he
has unearthed some fact, here
tofore unknown concerning the
settlement days In southern Ore
gon. Judge Kiddle Is perhaps
one of the best Informed pioneers
of the state, being gifted with
the faculty of relating happen
ings of hla early life that have
proved Instructive to those de
siring to learn more of the times
when the Indians roamed the
pasture lands of this great slate.
Appoint Gam Wardens
Six new deputy state game war
dens, each armed with a roving
commission have been appointed by
Warden Averlll nd these officers
will travel In various parts of the
stale to make arrests for game law
violation, according to word receiv
ed here from the state game com
mission. Douglas county will prob
ably be visited by some of this "fly
ing squadron" and they will not re
main In any one place long enough
to become known to violators. Pack
outfits will be provided for the
deputies. Reports have come to
Warden Averlll that In certain sec
tions it Is extremely difficult to ap
prehend persons hunting In closed
season because the district wardens
are known and the violators are
tipped off by various means before
the wardens have come close to
them.

Demand
IN the early tlays of the tele
phone, when the 1 6-mile cir
cuit from Boston to Salem was the
longest in existence, an old lady
yisited the Boston exchange and
asked for a connection to Chicago
so she could talk with her son.
The need for voicing fliought
to far-away places began with
the nation's expanding activi
ties. Long before the telephone
art permitted it, long distance
service was demanded. A na
tional service was, from the
beginning, the beacon of the
telephone's founders, and the
inspiration of the scientists and
engineers whose achievements
gradually overcame the obsta
cles to the transmission of human
speech.
.These conquered, national
expansion has more and morel
been made possible, and the
uncertainties of separation have,
diminished. Today any com
munity in America can talk with
any other so promptly and satis
factorily that men have difficulty
in imagining a time when uni
x versal service was an ideal yet tQ
be reached.
