She tells, with enjoyment, of the fears of some of ber friends who, when the new sys tern was Inaugurated, were -"hast at tha thought of ber being; left alone "with desperate convicts" when the Governor was out of town. Another source of concern to some traa the peculiar close friendship which sprang; up between Master John Lister, the Governor's 13-year-old son. and one "Louis." formerly a cook. Th honor camp system on highway work, started several months before the help problem at the mansion be came acute, gave the Governor the Idea of employing convicts for domestic help. Tha lonely situation of the mansion, partly surrounded by a grove of trees and with the old capitol foun dations to be passed by domestics who desired to visit a picture show at night, made It next to Impossible, dur ing both the Hay and Lister adminis trations, to keep help.

"On the whole the work probably has cost less than it would if done by contract. There have been a number of desertions, but a less number in proportion than the escapes from the rock quarries, where armed guards are employed, and most of the deserters have been captured and re turned to the penitentiary. "The real benefit from the honor camp system comes to the men rather than to the state." TWO DIE ON CHRISTMAS Lane County Loses Old-Time Man and Woman Settlers. EUGENE, Or., Dec. 26. (Special.)
