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
