Discussed.
The court did not advertise for
the eel s and corridors, but let the
contract for them to the Diebold
Safe & Lock Co. for $'2,750, on the
same day that it gave the papers
the three weeks' .advertisement. A
local agent of the I'auli Jail Co.,
knowing that the statute provided
for advertisement, expected to put
in a hid. He was thus shutout.
His figures to put in cells and cor
ridors according to plans and spec
ifications were $500 below that
paid for the work put in. This is
one way in which business has
been handled. It is said that the
county judge and many of the of
ficers contend the ceils and corn
dois were bought dirt cheap, but
lion. S. B. Huston, J. M. oall and
Tiik Annua editor saw the letter
from the agent of the Pauli Jail
Co. directing the local agent (a
republican) to put in the bid for
$2,250. This is truth. The law
was not complied with, haws of
this kind are for compliance. That
Mr' Cornelius knew of the statute
is proven when we know that on
the day he let the contract for the
cells and corridors he issued adver
tisements in compliance with the
law relative to the most inexpen

Hesse and Crandall from Hills

did not think much of the scenery
the first half day, were there.
Forest Grove had a large delega
tion the first day but many were
missing after that.
Comrade Hollaway was elected
deputy commander. McMinnville
was selected as the place of the
next encampment. A committee
of ladies from the W. R. C. ad
vocated McMinnville and several
conttstahts withdrew and it was a
walkover. In the grand parade it
seemed that The Dalles beats the
world for children, unless, as some
suspected, they had borrowed large
ly from other towns. At the en
tertainment the children's drill
.vas splendid and cannot be de
scribed with words, but must be
seen to be appreciated. On the
trip home, the rapids below the

a grand success. All appeared to
be enthusiastic and willing, if
called upon, to render service in
the present war.
How the Oregonian got the re

for the next encampment is a mys
tery, iur it was not talked of nor
