The semaphore, a grotesque contraption, which the Salem Democrats declare was a piece of propaganda on the ' part of the Republicans because the sign spelled "G O P" any way you looked at it. was put io'o use Sat. nrday afternoon, with Traffic Off icer Birtchet at the helm.

Klrby and John L. Rathie are standing up under the strain and show no signs of weakening. Warden J. E. Lewis of the state prison said yesterday. The warden had Just come from the cells of the two condemned men, where he conversed with them for some time. Reprieve Xot Expected ?Both had been apprised of the failure of their attorney to per suade the United States supreme court to take any action, and neither believes that reprieve will come from his further effort in the federal court- in Portland Months ago Klrby told a prison official that when he left the state prison he would go "feet first" and he never , has allowed himself to build up a hope for commutation. Apparently the only thing that could now save the two men would be executive clemency, and there is no chance for this unless prosecuting officials at Pendleton themselves should make the re quest of the governor. Both Klrby and Rathie have accepted the Catholic faith. The execution of the two men Friday morning will relieve them from two years of confinement in their narrow cells in murder ers row at the state Drison. Neither has ever given any trouble,' said Warden Lewis. "Both have been of pleasant de meanor and they now are stand ing up as well as men could be expected to under the circumstan ces." The execution is scheduled for 8:30 o'clock Friday morning Since there is only one trap in the gibbet In the Bertillon room of the prison but one can be hanged at a time. Warden Lewis sent out invita tions yesterday to those who are allowed to witness executions. Jail Delivery Staged Kirby and Rathie are to be executed for the part they played in the murder of Sheriff Til Thy lor of Umatilla county on July 25, 1920, when they, together with Nell Hart, Floyd Henderson and Irvin L.
