CIGARETTr i P.ANISIIED FROM PENITENTIARY SALEM, Or., Jan, !. A general or der lias bi t n put in force by Superin tendent V. James, of the Oregon penitent iai . itmh r whirl, smoking of cigarel tes is prohibited for convicts and prison employes both. Heretofore it has been the custom to allow con victs and employes cigarettes without limit, except to the extent of the for mer's t id tart o rat ions. They could unoke in the clis as well as upon the grounds and while at work. The habit f regarded as obnoxious and injurious to the prison rs and employ s, who will however be pi i niittcd to smoke pipes and cigars. Tl . re art- dozens of cigar el te t it nils among I he convicts, and what efl'e: ; ! new order will have upon tin hi irir.tiiis to be seen. INITIATIVE MEASURE MAY FAIL TO PASS There is a possibility that the initi ative measure proposed by 1 he state grange to prevent the legislature from repealing or modifying any act or law enacted by the people may not go be fore the voters at the coming June elect ion, because of failure to obtain t lie necessary number of signatures. The signers could be procured without difficulty, were it not for the fact that the state grange has its hands more than full in fighting the suit of the Tacific Telephone &: Telegraph Co. to nullify the art passed by the people at. the last general election, requiring telephone and telegraph companies to nav to the state a per cent of their gross receipts. The state grange is also inteuselv interested in the fight against the .1(i0.ih)o appropriation for armories and the Freeman compulsory pass law. Which were passed at the last legisla ture and which are now under tin- ban of t he referendum. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. llendri.k II. (loddanl to A V.
