NO LONG CONTRACT.
Governor Think Convict Labor Will
Improve In Value.
Huh m The Airtight Htovu company,
ol Portland, ha given up it right to a
contract for the leaning of convict IhIkii
at the atate penitentiary, and (iovernor
(.'liainherlalii haa declareil Ita certified
check for r,oo forfeited to the atate.
The company failed to aatiafy the gov
ernor to iu ability to fulllll the con
tract for which it wan the aucceealul
bidder, the reaaon given being that the
liw of the company' plant In Portland
il materially reduced It pniierty
holding. The company had been
awarded len-year contract at u. 8 cent
per hour, but fulled to make good.
It i now doubtful whether the gov
ernor will let any contract toon for the
leaaiim of convict labor for a term of
yean, and It I certain that when
contract I made It will not be for more
than Ave year. The Lowcnherg-Going
company, the preaent leaaee, nave
made an oner ol 4 5 cent an hour on a
Ave. vear contract, but (iovernor Cham

the prieorinr lo farmer at more lavor

a while liefore making a contract, lie

The people here are Inclined to the
belief that Portland has not done ber

oncede this a a tributary point to
Portland rather than Ban Francisco.
