, That convict labor on Oregon made
will solve the problem of building bet-
ter highways throughout the state was
a conviction brought back to Portland
Inst night by A, L. Mills, president of
the. First National bank, after he ,had,
sen the kind of roads the convicts In
Washlngtoh are building. , , -;
. Mr. Mill's was a member of a party of
- business men entertained by 'Samuel
Hill during an Inspection of the state
rnads bnlng built , from Vancouver to
Walla Walla, . . ,'. .: ';
"There were 8p'tonvlcts In the camp
we saw," said . Mr. Mills this morning.
"Fifty of them Were serving; 20-year
sentences, . . But they .; were quiet and
.orderly, anJ they werV' doing splendid
work better4han free "labor would or
could. t All - were' Jr' charge of Major
j.Bowlby. . . The discipline was . perfect.
As we passed the convicts were easing.
Aii arose in, ineir places ana aiueq
with a deferenee that was exceedingly
gratifying. ,-V,: ;.'"'- 'vV ....
s "Washington Is' building 1100 miles

i talned from the, prison to perform a
task that other laborers turn away
from. They are' kept constantly under
guard and prefer- the life of work to the
' , life , pf ' Inaction In the penitentiary.
. Every man of them lqoked healthy. I
shall be very glad to 'see the day- when
Oregon will use its convicts in building
' ' roads. If. there is one thjng needed by
. Oregon above all iother 1 things it is
, , roads that will' make, resources of the
