Sheriff Elkins and party return
ed Saturday evening from Salem,
where they delivered Crook
county's bunch of criminals. The
trip was made without incident or
mishap of any kind. .Some at
tention was attracted to the prison
ers by reason of the handcuffs and
hobbles which they were obliged to
wear, but otherwise they suffered
no inconvenience. A stop was
made at The Dalles, Sunday, for
dinner. The streets were crowded
with people and it was not long
before the crowd bees me so dense
that it was with difficulty that the
prisoners were placed in the city
jail. At the city bastile the sher
iff and party were informed that
Proseouting Attorney Menefee was
awaiting them at the Hotel Albert
where an elegant spread was served
In pawing through the streets of
The Dalles some old friends of
Jerry Cramer paused the word
along that he was the murderer and
many were the execrations that
were heaped upon his head. When
he was seen with his feet under
the banquetting board a little Utter
the crowd realized thai they had
been given the wrong tip
The prisoners were placed be
hind the bars at Salem Sunday
night about 12 o'clock. They
were stripped and searched and
put in the receiving cells. Next
forenoon after being photographed
their hair was clipped and they
were put in prison clothed. Hogg
and Adams will be put to work in
ca the foundry and Dell will be given

3 tentiary during his confinement.
bbepherd will nave things all
his own way until November 30th
He is kept in close confinement
but is allowed about everything he
wants in the way of creature com
forts. He is not even numbered
among the convicts, lie is con
sidered a dead one. A death
watch has been set and it nothing
intervenes to prevent will be hang'
ed November 30.
Every courtesy was shown Sher
iff Elkins and party by Warden
Curtis and Deputy Warden J. S
Smith. AH parts ot the prison
were visited the foundry, ma
chine shop, printing office, bakery
kitchen, etc., where some 357 con
victs are kept busy 10 hours a day
At noon and night at the tap of a
bell the prisoners form into com
panics and are marched to their
cells where they are counted be
fore thev are allowed to eat their
meals. If all are accounted for
the prison bell is struck once
which notifies the guards that all
are present. If one is missing all
are kept locked up until the tru
ant is found. After leaving their
cells each convict folds bis arms
and keeps them folded until he
reaches his place at the table
where he eats his meal. It was
the privilege of the Crook county
delegation to occupy a platform in
the dining room reserved for pris
on officials. Three hundred and
twenty prisoners filed past to take
their seats at the dinner table.
Thev were a hard looking lot.
Some wore stripes 'and others had
on the famous "Oregon boot."
The stripes are put on for punish
ment for some minor infraction of
the prison rules while the 16'
pound iron boots must be worn tor
more serious offences. It is rare,
say the prison oincers, mat mey
have to resort to any other mode of
punishment. Just as soon as
prisoners understand that they
must not break the rules and if
they do they must suffer for it
they give very little trouble so far
as discipline is concerned. The
regulation prison uniform which
has recently been adopted is made
ot dark gray material and is in
high favor with the men who have
to wear it. So well do convicts
like it that even a threat to put on
the stripes will bring the offender
Wbilo in point of population,
Oregon stands well down toward
the foot of the states of the Union,
in Prison Reform it is near the
bead. Since the establishment of
the prison there has been a total
of something over 6300 prisoners
received, and today the number in
confinement is 357, or but a little
more than one-half of one per cent
of the population of the stale.
After the preliminaries of a
prisoner's reception have been dis
poned of, he is given a friendly
talk by the Deputy Warden and a
copy ot the rules governing the
prison. He ias closely questioned
as to his usual occupation and
mode of living, from which an esti
mate is .formed of his capacity,
and so far as is practicable, be is
given an occupation similar to the
one he is accustomed to. The dis
cipline is uniform and unvarying,
and a man's career depends en
tirely upon his own efforts and
good sense. If he is industrious
and his conduct exemplary, he
will be the recipient of all the
privileges allowable. On the other
hand, should be attempt to shirk
his duties, and show a disposition
to assist in the prison manage
ment, be is apt to encounter
rocky road.
For the prisoners' amusement
and mental improvement, there is
a library of some 800 volumes, be
sides msgazines and periodicals
Divine services are held in the
Chapel every Sunday morning
under the direction of the Chaplain.
The prisoners have an excellent
brass band of 22 pieces, which
gives frequent concerts, and an
orchestra, which plays in the
Chapel on three evenings during
the week.
Upon his release, the discharged
prisoner is invited to call upon the
local representative of the Prison
era' Aid Society, and is made to
feel that there is still some one left
on earth who believes in him and
is interested in bis welfare. After
careful discussion of the situ

From the penitentiary the sher-
ff and party went to the Oregon
Insane Asylum which is about a
quarter of a mile distant. Here,
under the guidance of one of the
head officials. Mr. Goodin, the
buildings and grounds were in
spected. Everything is kept as
neat as a new mn. there are
over 1400 patients to look after
and the task can better be imagin
ed than described. "Excuse me,"
says Perry Long, as he made a
break to get out of the building.
"I'vS seen enough of this. For
God's sake let's go home,," It was
in one of the violent wards and
Perry was made to understand
thato he must not excite the pa
tients for they might play horse
with him, so he trailed in the rear
of the party from one ward to
another.

Crook county stockmen, who
will graze their stock in the west
ern division of the Blue Mountain
Forest Reserve next year, met at
the court house Saturday, and be
sides discussing various phases of
the stock and grazing situation,
took action toward furthering
their interests along these lines.
It was also the annual meeting
and election of the association.
Grazing allotments in the west
ern division will be made by the
forestry officials at Canyon City
on November 15, notice of which
has already been forwarded to dif
ferent stockmen throughout the
county by forest supervisor A. S.
Ireland, and an effort will be made
by the Crook county stockmen to
have these allotment so made
that there will be no friction and
no conflict between different own
ers, in other words, it is the in
tention of the local association to
have the horses, cattle and sheep
all restricted to separate and in
vidual districts so that there will
be no crossing of sheep into the
cattle territory, or vice versa, or
any other conflict of interests
which will engender friction of any
kind during the grazing season
Two meetings were held Satur
day by the Cattlemen's association.
At the afternoon session aside
from the routine business and
general discussion, a committee
consisting of Jacob Johnson, C. M.
Lister and G. W. Noble was ap
pointed to draft resolutions asking
for an extension of the western side
of the Blue Mountain reserve. A
second committee consisting of A
A. McCord, C. M. Lister, J. W,
Stanton, J. H. Gray, G. W. Noble
and D, Lowrey was appointed to
ascertain what range was wanted
in the different districts, l he re
port from this committee was read
amended and then adopted, and
the action of the former committee
was approved.
Much interest is being shown
among the stockmen relative to
the coming meeting of the stock
interests which is to be held at
Canyon City on the 15th of this
month. Notices ot this meeting
have been pretty generally scatter
ed throughout the county and con
tain many points which will re
ceive considerable attention and
discussion at the coming session to
be held in Grant county. Among
these are the following, attention
to which has been called by Forest
Supervisor A. S. Ireland:
"Certain driveways will be es
tablished upon which stock must
be kept while crossing the reserve.
"Owing to the crowded condition
of the range a reduction will be
made in the number of sheep al
lowed to graze in the reserve dur
ing the season of 1907, viz:
"All permits for less than 1000
grown sheep will be allowed to in
crease 20 per cent.
"All permits for 1000 to 1200
will be allowed to increase to 1200.
"All permits for 1200 to 2000 to
be reduced 15 per cent provided
that none are reduced below 1200.
"All permits from 2000 to 4000
to be reduced 20 per cent provided
none go below 2000.
"All permits for 4000 to 10,000
grown sheep to ne reaucea ao per
cent as provided above.
"All permits for over 10,000 to
be reduced 30 per cent." "
The meeting at Canyon City
will be attended by the following
delegates from this county who
were appointed by the stockmen's
association last Saturday: C. M
Lister, W. C. Congleton, W. J.
Johnson, G. W. Noble, J. H. Gray,
J. W. Stanton and A. J. Noble
At the close of the business ses
sion the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: E
T. Slavton, president! Geo. Millt-
can, vice-president; B. F. Johnson

Stockmen Will Use Brand Book.
One of the most important steps
taken by the Crook County Cat
tlemen's association, which was in
session at the court house last
Saturday, was the adoption of a
brand book, which will be a promi
nent feature from now on with the
owners ot stock throughout the
county.
Notification will be sent to all
owners of stock residing in the
county to forward to the secretary
ot the association all brands and
other marks showing ownership
and owned by the stockmen.
These brand marks will be record
ed in a book kept by the secretary
for that purpose and will serve
nicely as a directory to restore
strayed stock which has been pick
ed up on the range. The owner's
brand marks together with his
name and residence will be given
in full so that an instant's perusal
of the book's pages will identify
clearly all stock owned in the
county. In this way ownership
can be established, without danger
of error, in a few seconds' time.
Indian Bound Over.
James Palmer, a Warmspring
Indian, was arrested at the Agency
last Monday on a charge of break
ing into and entering the dormi
tory of the Indian school at that
place, with a felonious intent, and
was brought before United States
Commissioner Rea for a prelimin
ary hearing says the Madras
Pioneer. The Indian waived ex
amination, and was turned over to
Deputy U. S. Marshal Bushee, to
be taken to Portland where he win
be given a trial in the federal
court.
Palmer confesses to having
broken into the dormitory where
there are forty or fifty Indian girls,
a number of times. He made his
entrance through a small window,
which appeared too small to admit
the body of even a small boy but
which the Indian managed to
squeeze through. There was no
way of opening this widow, which
only had one glans in it, and so
Palmer cut the putty away with
bis knife and then removed the
glass. In order to reach the win
dow he had to climb a tall, Blim
post, and tbe Indian policeman
who watched for him and finally
caught him, says that he climbed
it with as much agility as a cat.
Palmer will undoubtedly plead
guilty at his trial in the federal
court, and will be sentenced to a
term of imprisonment.
Superintendent Covey, of the
Warmspring Reservation, pushed
the proeecution of Palmer in order
to make an example of him at the
reservation. When it was dis
covered that Palmer was entering
the dormitory at night, Mr. Covey
set a watch for him, and succeeded
in catching him as he was enter
ing the building. A complaint
was sworn to, and the Indian is
now in the handc of the federal au
thorities. The Northwestern Guarantee and
Trust Company of Portland, Or., will
make loans at 6 per cent on first mort
gage security. See J. L. McCulloch,
