' Tomorrow morning one of- the - Very finest markets that the shopping public ever laid ayes npon will be opened at the corner of First and Alder streets under ' the sole ownership of Harry Wood.

SENATOR HAINES GIVES : VIEWS ON CONVICT WORK ' Senator E. W. Haines of Forest Grove believes that his position with reference to the convict labor bill has been mis understood. "It waa'aald In the reports of the action of the State Federation of Lobes that a, letter'from Senator Haines was read in which he explained that" the only way the state penitentiary could be made self-supporting was to allow con victs to compete with free labor. That is not his position, says Mr. Halnea, and the letter was not intended to create that impression. The letter to the fed eration officers follows: - "I - realise the Importance of keeping our convicts busy. It Is a serious mat ter to permit them to be Idle in great numbers. I believe the state should re ceive , from their labor all they . can reasonably, in order to make the peni tentiary as -. nearly self-supporting as possible, , In doing; this I also believe that same vafcould be brought Into - competitions with free) labor. If at all. In the least possible degree. This, in short,-is my position and you will realise It Is a difficult problem we have to solve. . I will care fully look into the matter and ehall feel it nay duty as well a pleasure to work long thht .line." v PERSONAL Dr. I M.
