t "Those boys certainly worked faith
iully They required no one to watcn
them' and they did a mighty good Job,
too. A soon as I saw they were in
earnest, and I had some doubts about
vslng them on the fair grounds. I gave
them every facility to live like men
Who were free and I do not regret it.
The work has been beneficial to the
men and to the atate. I am sorry those
oya will not be here to look at our
how when it opens. They were a
faithful lot and deserve a great deal or
credit for the way they have stuck to
the governor."

' More remarkable, perhaps, than the
conduct of these men working about
the atate Institutions is the honesty
and faithfulness of It trusty paroles
Who are scattered over the atate work
ing for farmers liverymen, hotels or in
Other line of work. These men draw
the customary wages for tho work in
which they are engaged but pay over to
the state a clear 60 cents per day. This
every man has done on time. One of
these men is in eastern Oregon on a
stock ranch, some are In Salem, and
Others In various counties. The reason
for so trusting these men la generally
to allow them an opportunity to con
tribute to the support of families. Ap
preciating auch opportunities they have
.- been true in every Instance,
i In contrast with three-escapes under
the honor system, 2S breaks under the
Old guard system in 1909 stand out
on bold relief. After losing 26 men and
having many bad tights between guards
and convicts, the plan of working con
victs outside of the penitentiary walls
v. . aKmilonMl In 1909 and no outside
Vrork "vas done in 1910. Even with the
. i - Tt. ... v.c tt hMAltt In thtit vpflr the
number of men worked on the outside
Was much smaller- than the number
worked out now unaer me nonor uym
tem; in fact twice as many convicts
: are now working in tne opera, unsuara
kA a wnrkl4 nn th SUtsldS In 1909
yet the percentage of breaks Is only
ene-nintn as great.
How Xfew Parole taw Works.
, I Somewhat related in principle to Gov-
virnor West's honor system is the new
parole law, which went into effect May
20. With this law the parole board
came Into existence. This board has
worked hand in hand with the governor.
' The distinction between thiH law and
the West honor system is often con
fused In the public mind. The honor
system applies only to men who have
not served their minimum sentences and
frho are strictly in the prison. The
parole board deals With men who have
served out their minimum terms and
1 who are entitled to conditional release
from prison. When men go out under
this law they are required to report
regularly and not to leave the state
Without permission of the board. Only
.one man out of 41 thus paroled has
violated bis promises to the board.
This was a colored man, Bert Lowe.
Lowe left the state and went to Ta
coma. He is nw in the prison for his
folly. Jdhn Major, the negro now held
t Dallas charged with criminal as
sault was paroled ur.der the old law.
His case has no bearing on either the
honor system or the new parole law.

JOB-AND TYPEWRITER
A man claiming to be Charles W.
Bently, secretary of th Coeur d'AIene
mining company of Spokane, and Identi
fied with F. A. Blaekwel!, the wealthy
. Spokane lumber and railroad man, on
last Saturday, is charged with bilking
Miss Maud Gilbert, a stenographer, out
of a new typewriter, and has caused
her to lose a position she had Just taken,
and considerable public stenographic
work.
' On last Saturday Miss Gilbert, who
was doing stenographic work for the
Soger Hart Gibson company, rfrtjved
a telephone message from this stranger,
aaying he was at the Imperial hotel
and wanted to see her about a position.
He said he had known many people in
Spokane for whom she had worked and
they had recommended her for the
place he was seeking to fill. When the
appeared at the Imperial hotel, he met
her and called her by name. The posi
tion she was to take was a confi Initial
One for the Idaho, Washington & Northern-
Railway company of which Black
well is president, and the salary was
1X25 per month.
Miss Gilbert was to open a pub
lic stand at the Cornelius hotel, o she
made arrangements to give that to
someone else. She also abandoned a
large, amount of work ehe had. on
hands and- prepared for irn Spokane
trip, going as far as. to sen-1 her trunk
to the depot.
The alleged Bentlytook her type
writer, saying he would hav-j it crated,
and shipped and also offered to send
her new mahogany desk which sho hed
Just purchased. Miss Gilbert "was to
meet Bently at the depot where he
would hare a ticket for her. tflvi p
' peered at the depot, but Hently failed'
to arrive, and Mies Gilbert, becuming
suspicious, informed the police of the
affair. She also asked at the hotel for
the man and found that no such party
had ever been there. The same man
It believed to be responsible .'or another
similar incident in which a ste'nograpner
was bilked out of money and n watch.

Tax Exports at Richmond.
(United Pri'M Leaned Wire.)
Richmond. Va.. Sept. 6. Distinguished
tax experts of the United States ajrid
Canada are the guests of the Old Domin
ion capital today at the opening of the
annual conference of the International
Tax Commission.
In the first five months this .year
the United Kingdom imparted 2,362,
600 bunches of bananas.
Spattered with mud and dirt, the
Abbott-Detroit "Bull Dog" automobile,
Ip charge of Dr. Charles Perclval, edi
tor of the Health Magazine of New
York city, and his companion, George
V. urown, arrived In Portland Sunday
afternoon from Salem, where ho
stopped to deliver a message from the
governor of California to the. governor
of Oregon on good roads. Dr. Perclval
Is now on his fourteenth month out.
having covered on the 100,000 mile tour
32,1)16 miles.
The little machine Is on exhibition
at the Portland Motor Car company's
salesroom at Sixteenth, and Alder
streets, and shows -agrvlce for the en
tire distance covered. This machine
has now covered eight-tenths of the
distance around the border of the Unit
ed States, and has been in 44 states
since starting on the 100.000 mile trip.
The present run Is being made under
the auspices of the "EI Camlne Real"
association and Pacific Motoring, the
oldest motoring magazine of the Pa
cific coast, and the idea is to perpetu
ate "Kl Camine Real," or the king's
highway, the old road built over 100
years ago by the mission priests.
Dr. Perclval and Mr. Brown contem
plate visiting Alaska and will try to
drive as far north as parallel 64, and
thus obtain the honor of having been
the first automoblllsts to penetrate the
Arctic circle and get near the North
Polo.
For this trip the Abbott will h
equipped with front runnels in place
of wheels, and special spiked tires on
the rear wheels will give traction over
the snow and Ice of the Arctic circle.
From Alaska the trip will continue back
to Seattle and across Canada to Mont
real and New York city, thus complet
ing the first automobile trip around the
borders of the United States and Into
every state. From New York the trip i
will go to the Isthmus of Panama and ,
then to the sandwich Islands, Japan,
China, the Philippines, Australia. New
Zealand, Africa, Asia and. Kurope, it I
being the Intention of Dr. Perclval to
make a complete trip of the entire
world, which, will It Is figured, take
at least two more years. The idea la
to make the entire trip, which is sched
uled to cover 100,000 milee, with the
same automobile, which wilt be turned
over at the completion, to automobile
engineers to be appointed by the Amor
lean Automobile association, who will
tear It down and render an exhaustive
report, which will. It , Is hoped, 'prove
Of great value to the Industry at large.
The tourists, during their stay In
Portland, will be the . gueeta . of . the
Portland Motor Car company where the
famous car will be on exhibition in the
garage, corner Sixteenth nd Alder
streets.
V Sclo Swell! Pickers' Ranks.
' Sclo, Or., 'Sept. 6.- 'For the next three
weeks . Sclo and vicinity will have the
minimum population of the year. Each
year a large number from here go to
the hop yards, combining an outing
with remunerative employment Hop
growers claim they are able to get a
superior class of workmen here and
there is usually keen rivalry between
the agents of the different growers to
see who can sign up most pickers.
