Ken alert to the possibilities of prison
reform and for tl.e past year he has
rursued a course of historical reading
concerning prisons an.l punishments.
'TT ere must be prison reform," Or
rhurd declares, "but It must come
ni-.ely. rtreat chances cannot be made
without time. Convicts mar be pushed
too fast and mar therefor take ad
vantage of the confidence placed tn
them. When a man has done wrong
th only way he can reform Is to com
tn an acknowleJcment that he Is wrong
an I to wish to do right.
T officials need to b deep stu

that the ofrlclais should be careful

more than to be trusted. Th offi

there will be breaking of confidences.

that It Is posslbla that society would

. Reading Great Aid.
-Idleness 1 a great drawback. Th
prisoners hav too much tlm to think
about what they-will do when they
get out. There conversation Is noth
ing and one can't get their ear to talk
about smythlng deep. They read as
trashy literature as they can get hold
of and ar crasy for magaztnea of this
character. They must hav employ
ment to aid In making their minds
healthy. Th prison offlclala try to
get Ideals but such things come slowly.
I hav been reading books dated as far
back as 100 years and se the great
atrldes In prison reform.
-Th next thing needed after em
ployment Is that th stat should look
after th men for som tlm after they
leave th prison. Th state could do
this mor easily than a society. Many
of th men go out with good Inten
tion, and hould go to som on or
to som plac to work. Sometime a
prisoner Is turned out with nothing but
a pair of overalls and a few dollars.
He Is all at se what to do. I be
lieve, though, there Is work for all of
them If they hunt It frankly and hon
estly. They don't have to steal. If
they would confess their condition.
Some of the prisoners here and In
other penltentlarlea ar what I call
hablto" criminals: crim Is chronic
with them. Th state could help auch
men by looking after them for a while
after they leave the penitentiary. I
ran t Imagine, though, what la In a
man's head tiiat lie should do anything
tn get him In here the second time.
Fvervone lonrs for liberty. I have a
wife and a little girl for whom I would
like to make what amends I may. I
have never asked for an extenuation.
I try not to think of that."
Orchard confessed to th murder of
14 men. H was entenced to b

LENTS WOULD JOIN CITY
Plan Afoot to Annex Suburb and
Vicinity to Portland.
E- L. Rayburn. president of the Lents
Improvement Association. says a
movement Is under way to annex Lents
to Portland at the next election. It Is
proposed, he says, to take in Lents and
surrounding territory, beginning at
Gray's Crossing, the present city lim
its, and extending eastward to the
point where the Gresham railway
crosses tho Foster road. The district
has a population of 8004. Muota of the
territory Included In th last annexa
tion movement will be left out, and
only tho well-settled portion will be In
cluded. Defeat of annexation last elec
tion, said Mr. Rayburn, was caused by
Including too much outside territory.
He declares the sentiment now Is gen
erally favorable to annexation, and he
believes It will carry when submitted
to a Tot of the people again. The
postmaster at Lents reports that he
serves 12,000 patrons from that office
through the two mall-delivery routes.
At the meeting of the association
Monday night arrangements were com
pleted for six arc' lights to be placed
on Main street and the Foster road at
a cost of $5 a month each. The money
will be raised by subscription among
business men and residents.

On recommendation of County Phy
sician Geary, the County Commlsslon-
ers have appointed J. V. Guyton, M.
D., resident physician at Multnomah
Farm at a salary of $50 a month. Dr.
Guyton graduated from the University
of Texas In 1903, and for the past two
years has been an interne in Portland
hospitals. He spent three years in
Brazil reporting on yellow fever for the
United. States Government. Heretofore
the county has not kept a licensed phy
sician at the farm, the emergency work
being attended to by a student and the
more serious cases by the county physician.

sjSSak
This Is a hornless talking machine of the very latest model portable,
compact and complete. The sound waves gathered by the reproducer are led
through the tone-arm to the tone chamber. In the base of the cabinet, and
magnified by the construction of the tone-arm and tone-chamber, so that the
music Is exactly the same as that from which the original records were
made, without "cramping" or distortion. In some Instruments the tone
chamber npen which the naturalness of the reproduction largely depends, is
left out and Instead the sound waves are projected through the working
parts of the motor, losing much of the accuracy and' volume of the recorded
music.
The motor Is a powerful, noiseless spring motor. It plays either 10-inch
of 12-Inch records of any make, and can bo wound while running. Conven
ient adjustment of speed, which allows the operator to obtain the best re
sults possible from the record. Is provided for. Eilers Music House, now at
Seventh and Alder.
This is the machine, though the drawing does not do it justice.
These wonderful machines have gone on sale at this extraordinary
revolutionary unprecedented price $22.80, on terms of ten cents a day
an achievement made possible because of the magnitude upon which our
talking machine business, like our piano department, is conducted, and
because we want you to visit our new talking, machine salesrooms, of which
we axe so proud.
