Tha Jailer thinks they will not bo paint ed at all thla year, but If they are they will bo treated to another eoat of black. ' With tho view of making tho prison- err quarters lighter and more cheerful, Mitchell ordered all the cells and cages painted white, and a morked change in the appearance of tha Jail has resulted. But while tha Jailer believes in lessen lng tha gloom of tho ordinary cell, ha does not believe in making tho dungeons any leas repulsive. The dungeons are reserved for halls In whloh to nerve banquets of bread and water-to unruly prl eonera who attempt to escape or. re fuse to work or to obey the rules of the Jail. There are two of them. oneTt feat-long by g-wide, the other it-fcot long by. feet wide, and both of them darker than any black night that ever aoared a child. When tho doors of tho dungeons are shut the prisoner can aea absolutely nothing and haa te feel hla way about In tha darkness. , Jailer Mitchell thinks that the white color will have a tendency toward caus ing the prisoners to think pure, noble thoughts, and he wanta tha dungeon te be aa big a contrast to the regular quar ters, and confinement in them aa keen a punishment as possible.

Geer, undaunted . by hla defeat in the Republican primaries'' last spring, la preparing to reenter the political field and there ia strong reason to believe that he Intends to run for ' United States senator In 106.

Geer waa a newspaper man before he was- - governor, and for ; several years ha. waa editor of tha Salem Statesman.

His defeat taught htm a lesson from which the ex-governor plainly purposes to profit With a newspaper of his own -st. his command, there will be no lark 1 of publicity when he reentera the politi cal game. It is not likely that he will seek again to become governor, for that would entail a wait of four long' years. But ha haa long been ambitious ' to go tbe United Statea senate, and tho way may .open In 1906, when the people will vote on the choice of, Fulton's successor.

It Is hardly.' likely ' that a Portland man will be chosen In 1106, as this city will then be repre- , sented by Bourne. ' It ia quite on the cards, therefore, that tbe fight may narrow to Fulton and Geer, and In that event the latter will find In hie newe- . paper a valuable weapon. ' Tbe negotiations for tha purchase of a half Interest In the Tribune have been pending for severs! months. Whlls the deal haa nominally not been closed. : there is no doubt that It wll go through and that within a few days Geer will remove to eastern Oregon. LASTCUSTAKI FOR POPULAR : leiis r.: t ;'?'
