CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.
Report of the Work of the Oregon
State noaa wmmniu".
R. A., Harris. erotary of the Ore
gon Oood Roads Commission writes
as follows:
"The Oregon Good Roads Commis
sion has hold throe mooting at two of
which we had short talks by Judge
I.. R. Webster of Portland, author
of the resolution creatine; the road
commission, and at one a talk by Hon.
J. 13. Magers. ex-judge , of Yamhill
county, now chairman of the road
committee of the Portland Hoard of
Trade. Both of these gentlemen are
enthusiastic in their favor of the idea
of working the convicts on the roads,
and proffer us all the assistance In
their power to accomplish such an end.
The Commission Is also very much
indebted to Secretary Labor of the
Board of Trade for many helpful sug
gestions and also for tendering us
the rooms of the Hoard of Trade for
our meetings, free of charge.
"I mention these things to show the
interest taken by these men and their
organizations in the work of this com
mission, and in the same connection
I have letters proffering the aid. in
any way we desire it, of the depart
ments of the University of Oregon
having to do with work of this kind.
F. G. Young, professor of economics
and sociology in that Institution, has
compiled a voluminous document on
"Tendencies in Recent American Road
Legislation," and among the brief in
troductionary remarks is the follow
ing, which is significant of our labors:
"Several northern states, among
them New York, Illinois, Iowa,
and California, are using convict
labor to advantage in preparing
road material. Nearly all of the
Southern States are successful in
lowering the cost of road construc
tion in the use of prisoners and
State convicts."
"We are also in receipt of a quanti-
I Manv parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what tne pnysieiau iom
them when ho was first called in con
sultation. All good family physicians
sav: "Give the children Cnstorla."
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old. for they took it themselves as
children. It was more than thirty
years ago that Castorla made a place
for itself in the household. It bore the
signature of Charles II. Fletcher then,
as does to-day. The signature is its
guarantee, which is accepted In thou
sands of homes w here there are child
ren. Much Is printed nowadays about
big families. Dr. William J. McCrann,
of Omaha, Nebraska, Is the father of
one of these much-read-about families.
Here is what ho says:
"As the father of thirteen children
I certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my
own family experience I have, in my
years of practice, found Castorla a
popular and efficient remedy In almost
every home."
Charles Fletcher has received hun
dreds of letters from prominent phy
sicians who have the same esteem for
Castoria that Dr. McCrann has. Not
only do these physicians say they use
Castoria in their own families, but
they prescribe it for their own pa
tients. First of allit Is a vegetable
preparation which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping,
and Castorla looks out for that too.
It allays feverishness and prevents
loss of sleep, and this absolutely with
out the use of opium, morphine or
other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines. Hall's
Journal of Health, however, says:
"Our duty is to expose danger and re
cord the means for advancing health.
The day for poisoning innocent child
ren through greed or ignorance ought
to end. To our knowledge Castorla is
a remedy which produces composure

Eastern and Southern States concern
ing the work of convicts on the roads.
I have written to each of these states
for copies of the laws (and all data
bearing on the practical working out
of the same) that have to do with the
employment of convicts on the roads,
and ere long It won la seem as though
nj work can begin io fake definite

the belief that it is feasible, every one '
C. E. Smith,
realizes that the perfecting of a defl-! ' P j0.T.on
nite plan is a work that will develop
the multitude of unseen difficulties
which may finally convince us to the
contrary. In the work of determining
the feasibility of thus employing con
victs, every one who is sensible of
the real value of good roads, in every
section of the state, should get busy
setting forth what resources his sec
tion offers and what benefits it would
derive or what disadvantages will be
encountered. Particularly do we want
to know the disadvantages and ob
stacles. It is easy to see there is a
vastly greater sentiment in favor of
than opposed to the idea, and it is
just such facts that often cause hasty,
imperfect and costly plans by reason
of immature consideration of the ob
stacles.

It will be seen by the resolution j riau"
authorizing the appointment of the fr L "nn'
Commission that definite road is pro- j " lnkram,
vlded for, viz: a macadamized roadie "M)"rne'
the California state line. This may
cause a feeling of resentment from
those people located in sections farth
est from this proposed route.
It should be remembered, however,
that the first and greatest considera
tion is whether it is better that the
convicts be worked on the public roads
than leased to private concerns in
direct and ' very unjust competition
with free labor at a pittance per diem
for such of the best workers as the
corporation may select.
It is the opinion of the entire Com
mission that it is not bound to follow
the letter of the resolution as to just
where and how the convicts should
be employed, but that our findings
should be in line with what is most
economical and most practical for the
greatest number of people of the
state, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that no opposition will be met on this
point."

Physicians Give Advice by Which Par
ents May Profit.
It was an association of gentlemen,
professionally physicians and chem
ists, all of whom were born in the
drug trade, so to speak, and wh have
been connected with it all their lives,
who first gave to the world Castoria,
which as every one knows, is a pleas
ant and effective remedy for the ail
ments of infants and children. It has
always been recognized as a meritori
ous preparation, and its reward has
been the greatest popularity ever en
joyed by any remedy ever put upon
the market; attained, not by flamboy
ant advertising or appeals to ignor
ance or vulgar prejudice, but by in
herent merit. All physicians recom
mend it, and many, very many, pre
scribe it.
