' aees, as well aa other outsiders do,
what a great dairy and poultry state
Oregon could be and ought to be,
' and wonders at the Importation of

lie asks: "Now with snch a market

a laxy horse. She has the speed and the

that her oats and grass are too easy to

- . We suppose this is the principal
jason for this absolutely shameful
state of affairs. Yet another reason
la that we cannot as yet get men
' enough from the east or anywhere
to come here, see and understand
these conditions, and take advantage
of them. Oregon Is all right, is
great, is resourceful almost beyond
description or Imagination, but too
many of her people are not of the
i right kind to develop a state. They
are good people otherwise, but they
lack the ambition to develop, to

Rev. E. W. St. Pierre, chaplain of
the prlnon, a very worthy and self-
sacrificing man, who does not "jte
neve in flogging at all, for any pur
pose, says that Albrecht was not
weak, or deformed; that' he was
stout and sound, weighing 162
pounds, and of average mentality;
that only 18 lnstoad of 48 lashes
were struck, and that he did not
faint or even murmur, but walked
away firmly to the dispensary, where
his hack was salved, after which he
went to work as usual, and has been
at work ever since.
Mr. St. Pierre does not like flog-

As a poor boy he went to America from
Ireland and made a fortune in the
mines. Then he organized a political
party to overthrow the corrupt leader,
Tweed, to whom he waa related. After
noiaing many political offices, he in
curred the fll-will of the Democrats,
who feared he would become a dictator,

destroyed his chances for the presidency
and induced him to sell most of his
property and to- return to hla native
land, where he devotes his time to
breeding horses. His former home tn
