"Do you tliink the uMbcrs of

"Oil, yes; fvvnt mill v Traccy will

little (pi' tioii. It is a ( tern than;,

and probably Iiiim a few buckshot

accident in my opinion. That may
happen. 'I he Oregon's desperado'
talents, if turned to good account,
would iiiuki) 11 mini of note out of
him. All 'lie crook in the land,
naturally, now glorify Tncey bh

"What haf 1 CI) the effict of the
news upon the men in your irieti

They look upon Traccy n.- the ideal

K r-u t majority are Hi oni! man
against constituted authority
wherever it in found. I.M r man
working in the jule ' m .11 in the
prison knew of the Weak !' r liberty
that these tin n made, ami how they
managed after thut. 1 do not al
low local papers in I lu prison, ami
those from outride point!-, when
they are taken in, are , dripped of
any sensational matter hefure being
(liven to the men to read,
"I can't nay 1 have taken extra
precaution! to guard ae.Must an
iHitlircak myself since llih break-nt
the Oregon Penitentiary. 1 look
upon these thing as likely to hup
peu any moment around a prison,
and consequently 1 never allow
relaxation of any caution that
would tend to preserve discipline.
The moral effect of the t.i U; out-
Weak in the Orcein pri.-on will lie
felt over the wholecounhy. Whore
ever there is 11 tendency to laxity
in prison discipline the 1 ;7oct will
he to correct it and awaken prison
managers, especially in the great
west, to tlm fact that they arc deal
ing constantly witli a lot of desper
ate men who in an emergency put
its littlo value upon human life as
they do upon their own lives.
"There is one thing certain. No
man on earth should he placed in
the position of 11 prison guard un
less lie is fitted by nature for it and
has a natural conception of that
class of work. A guard should he
a guard all the lime not a part of
the time. A man who is in such a
position nmst realize what peril his
life is in at all timerf. Take a man
who is not shrewd of ohservation
and has no natural qualification
for such a position, and you may
improve him, hut you cannot make
Uiut what lie oii"Ut to he. It is
difficult to get men of the proper
conception of the work. They arc
worth more money than got, for it
iii a study of huiriun nature they
are required to engage in.
''Thcro has never heeu a break
at the Wiiilu Wulla Penitentiary
in my time, I have been there nix
year. In thut time I have studied
every means to promote discipline
and prevnt the sacrifice of human
life. I have never left anything
undone that would promote the
fdicieiicy of the prison arrange
ments. Some time ago I found a
cache of a heavy Colt's revolver
and 21) rounds of ammunition un
der 11 molding box in the brick
yard. The revolver had lain there
from spring to fall and possibly
would have figured in a bloody uf
fray mine day had not vigilant
eyes detected it.
"We have 1504 men in the Walla
fo'allu I'enitentary at the present
t!mc. Kighty are employed in the
brick yard. We turn out 2,(XK)
brick per day, Two hundred and
fifty-five men employed in the jute
mill. We are turning out l,f(X),
000 jute bags for the grain season
in our country. The bagu are sold
only to growers and shippers who
are residcnti of the state of Wash
ington. Wfl sell the bags for $0,150
per 1000. In addition to making
jute bags, wn manufactuic burlap,
wool bags, floor matting and hop
cloth. There are-11)5 acres in the
prison farm reserve where we raise
vegetables, grain and cereals
enough for our own ue. The farm
is worked by prison labor

Tncle Jimmie Kagon is suffering
from a severe cold.
Homo of the farmers have made
excellent progress in their work of

Mrs, M. K. Rush has been con
fined to her home the past few
dny, the victim of a nevcre cold.
Wednesday of list peek, J, C.
Hush, placed an elegant Organ in
his home, which is a nice piece of
furniture.
The school board of thiadist. are
taking steps toward building a large
school bouse this mmmcr. This
has been long needed,
J. R. Pennett ban had his rcsi
dencH painted, which gives th
building quite on imposing ap
pearance. Rush and Charley Ben
nett done the work.
A party consisting of, Mr. James
Robinson, of Ashwood and three
sons, Mm. Jennie Bennett and twu
sons, Mrs. M. K. Rush and son J.
C. Hush, went on an outing Sun
day week ago, which wan enjoyed
hugely by all of the party.
Walter Ilelfrich has about one
third of his cut; Grant Hendrix
and J. R. Bennett finislied cutting
last week; J. II. Grant und J. C.
Rush are cutting with binders,
while active preparations for hay
ing are being made by many of tLv
farmers.
The rains of the past week were
nost welcome, and wheat farmers
are jubilant over crop prospects.
Th ground bad become rather dry
and dustv, and vegetation was be
ginning to t-uffer through want of
mcist u re. These rain men e many
dollars to the larmcrs of Crook
county.
Con-iilerable damage has been
done by the late fronts. Gardens
and other vegetation suffered bad
ly, but the opinion of many is,
that the late fruit sufferd bo ma
terial damage. The cold wave at
this season of the year is almost
unprecedented. Beans, tomatoes
and other tender vegatablc are
killed in the localities where the
irost was hcavieiit.
