Oregon Grocery Company, Distributors Made and Guaranteed By H. G. BLYDENSTEIN Pendleton, Oregon W APPEALING LETTER SENT FROM PRISON. Pendleton Authorities Cited to "Pray. ing folks in Uermany. Pendleton, Aug. 17. John Schultz, former Umatilla county man now making his temporary home in Salem is of the opinion that this is a cold and cruel world. And this in spite of the fact that the state is paying for his board and lodging and will con tinue to do so for some time to come. Mr. Schultz is one of those unfor tunates whose ideas of property rights are somewhat vague and he is at present a' ward of the state gov ernment because of those ideas. Not withstanding the fact that he was sent to the state prison through the ministrations ot County Attorney Steiwer and Circuit Judge Phelps, he entertains the highest regard for those gentlemen and recently ad dressed to them jointly a lachrimose appeal dilating on the hard hearted ness of the members of the State Board of Parole and expressing a longing to return to the old sod in Germany, where he pictures his old parents, "kneeling beside an old fash ioned bed, their eyes turned to the sky, waiting for the return of their Joved one." He is of the belief that the only rea son the board has refused to grant him pardon is because he was once in carcerated in another penitentiary for a similar offense as the one for which he is now serving a sentence. He does not think that is any valid rea son for keeping a man away from home. Schultz was sent from Pendleton for breaking into a tent where he stole one dollar and a broken revolver. He bought whisky with the dollar and proceeded .to try and hold up a police officer with the gun. His letter to the attorney follows: Salem, Ore., July 16, 1916. Mr. Gilbert Phelps, District Judge, and Mr. Frederick Steiwer, County Attor ney, Pendleton, Oregon. Dear Sir: Pardon me, for again intruding upon your valuable time, but I wish to show mv appreciation, for what you and Judge Phelps endeavored to do for me, viz., recommending me for ex ecutive clemency, which I am very sorry to state was not granted to me. I received from the Board of Parole instructions, or rather word that, they recommended me to do my max imum sentence. Why! As I have been informed by War den John W. Minto, that they so rec ommended on account of my having had the misfortune to be incarcerated in these institutions before! I ex plained to Warden Minto, that you gentlemen were aware of that fact be fore passing sentence upon me. I al so told him that you was under the impression that I would receive good time on my maximum sentence which has been abolished since 1913. Now, gentlemen, if you are still convinced that two years is sufficient punishment for the enormity of the crime I was sentenced for, I beg of you as fair minded men to appeal to the Governor to commute my sent ence o two years, which would leave me out September 5, 1916. -v Go, if you will, to the land of battle and strife and there in an old coun try home you will find a couple that to me are dearer than life. In mind I can see them kneeling beside an old fashioned bed with their eyes cast to the God in the skies, praying for the return of their loved one. Thanking you in advance for any assistance you may render me, I remain, JOHN SCHULTZ.

Measuring The Mississippi One of the basic lines of activity of the United States Geological Survey is the measurement of the flow of the rivers of the United States. This work was begun by the Survey in 1888 in connection with special stud ies of water for irrigation, and since 1895 the bills passed by Congress appropriating money for the work of the Survey have carried an item "for gaging streams." Measurements of flow have been made at about 3,400 points in the United States and at many points in small areas in Seward Peninsula and tho Yukon-fTanana re gion, Alaska, and in the Hawaiian Islands. Numerous private and State organizations have cooperated in the work either by furnishing data cr by providing financial assistance in col lecting the data. In July, 1914, about 1,480 gaging stations were being maintained by the Survey and the co operating organizations, and many measurements of discharge were made at other points. A report iust issued on the lower .Mississippi River basin (Water-Supply Paper 387), which forms Part VII of the annual series entitled "Surface water supply of the United States," gives the results of cooperative work between the Federal Survey and the States of Colorado and New Mexico. The records' pVesented include xie scriptions of stations on Arkansas and Red rivers and their tributaries in the States of Colorado. New Mexico, and Oklahoma at which mea surements were made, and tobies of daily gage heights and dailv and monthly discharge. An amwndix to the report gives a list of the irnfinrr stations that hnve been maintained by the Survev, from 1H85 to 1914. on streams disch.irtrinir into the Miss issippi below te month of 'ho Ohio and n list of the Rurvev publications relating to water resources in the area.
