Practically all of these -will be young men committed for their first offense against the law. "The penitentiary is now so crowded that the prisoners cannot be properly segregated and as a result these first offenders are in daily contact with -hardened cri minals; in fact, it might be called a school for vice and crime- "The use of these buildings is the only way in sight for the seg regation of prisoners in the near future. There is at the present training school sufficient farm lands to furnish employment to the Inmates. It should come un der the supervision of the warden. and by the appointment to con duct the Institution of high mind ed officials, who are interested in human welfare, and whose stan dards of morals are such that they would be daily examples to these unfortunate young men.

It is un reasonable and idle talk to say that it cannot be done.'. With the land used by the Institution it should produce all the vegetables. fruits, poultry, pork, etc. for its own use with able bodied inmates in numbers sufficient to perform the necessary labor. Pardons "The abuse of the pardoning power, in this state, has been one of the greatest obstacles to the proper enforcement of our laws. Records show that the "life term er" In Oregon serves only 8 years of his sentence on the average. "Under our legal procedure, it rarely happens that an innocent person is convicted of a crime. Where a person is charged with a felony, the case against him is presented to a grand jury and if five of'the seven members of that body believe he is guilty, an indict ment is returned against him.. "The defendant is then tried In the circuit court before a jury of his peers, and unless all twelve of the jurymen believe beyond a reasonable doubt in his guilt, he Is acquitted. If convicted, an ap peal may be taken to the supreme court, where the proof is consider ed, and weighed and impartial decision reached. "The right and privilege of having the truth of the evidence for and against him determined by two juries and two courts, is. vested in all persons charged with the commission of crime. The witnesses and counsel for the de fendants are provided at public ex pense, if desired. "There will be greater respect for our laws and they will be easier and better enforced when the too frequent pardoning of criminals ceases. "It seems to me that pardons should not be issued unless new evidence shall be discovered after the trial, sufficient in the judg ment of the trial judge of the prosecuting attorney to have changed the verdict; or upon the recommendation of the trial judge or prosecuting attorney, who cer tainly should be consulted when pardons are considered." Americans Seek Pedigree, Find Oxford Skeletons OXFOR, Eng. American pedi gree hunters have invaded the Oxford libraries. The scions of forgotten ancestors resident in al most every one of the United States have asked the university librarian to bridge some vast gulf in their patronymics. A large percentage of the In quiries are coming from states in the middle west and the Pacific coast. It is considered fortunate for the genealogists and the College of Heralds that ancestor worship has found a home across the wa ter, for its popularity is fast wan ing here. Historical research shows that many of the great men of the past were scoundrels. rogues and rascals, for whom com plete oblivion was the most kindly fate.

F J 'An Industry That Sends No Cent at Home, and Which PM No Great Natural Asset" "Where Can There Be a Better or Safer Investment Than the Salem Linen Mill?" (Frank Irvine, editor of the Portland Journal, was with the delegation representing the Port land Chamber of Commerce, which visited Salem last Friday, and among other things here, ; visited tlje flju e Miles linen roijl and .the state x plant. The following was the leading editorial in the Portland Journal of Sunday, under the heading, "A New Step in Ore gon:") When you stand in the Miles twine mill at Salem, listen to the whir of machines and see those machines convert Oregon-grown flax into , a twine that you can't break with your hands, you cateh a vision or. a great western Ore gon industry that is to be. The fiber from the flax comes into the Miles mill worth 33 cents a pound, it goes out ai a wnoie- sale price listed at $2.90 a pound. A small discount is given the -trade. The present output of the mill is chiefly used for fish nets. The Pa cific coast alone consumes a mil lion pounds of it a year. Every cent of revenue from the industry is an Oregon cent. The flax is grown in Oregon fields. The farmer gets $28 a ton for it. If the flax is 30 Inches long he gets $38 a ton. He grows about twoj tons to the acre, giving him $5 6 to $76 gross a ton per acre. Every penny of tnis revenue irom me crop is an Oregon penny that stays in Oregon. His flax is bought by the Oregon penitentiary at the prices above stated. Within the prison walls is a big place, 175 feet long, filled with machines. The whir and rattle of those ma chines tells you that manufactur ing there is in fnll career." More than 150 prisoners are busied about the machines. Theyj are earning their keep in that great game,, and incidentally are earning a little private money on the side, paid them by the state for special service. If there were no other advantage, the flax in dustry as now conducted is highly profitable to the state in the fact that it keep3 so many prisoners employed and productive. These machines in the prison are in the scutching plant. One op erator threshes out the flaxseed and makes it available for the manufacture of oil. Another sep arates the woody stem from the fi ber out of which the twine or lin en is made. So separated, the fi ber, still in the rough, leaves" the BRAND HAMS, BACON AND LARD KEXXELL-ELLI9 Specialists in Portrait Photography Studio: 429 Oregon Building Square Deal Welding Works Ox-acetylene and Electric We specialize on cylinder blocks and aluminum cases, heavy cast iron, steel tanks, boiler and flue welding, springs, frames and tenders.

At the twine mill the fiber is put through numerous combing machines, which, almost human like, constantly eliminate the shorter and rougher fiber and leave long fine strings of. fiber from which the' twine is made. This rafining process is highly interesting. When the refined fi ber reaches one of the last ma chines it Is spun into a slender thread., The next machine spins several of these strands into a completed twine that with your two hands you cannot break, and then winds it on a bobbin, when it is ready for the market. The Miles mill now takes the fiber in the raw state, worth 33 cents a pound, and every day turns out about 1G0 pounds of finished product listed at wholesale at ?2.90 a pounds The Miles mill is the only one of its kind in the United States.

In New Jersey there are a few similar mills, but they import their raw flax fiber from Ireland and other foreign countries. In Michigan there is flax culture, and Henry Ford is utilizing some of the product, but in quality it is far below the Oregon flax. Western Oregon, in fact, is the only spot in America where flax is produced that experts declare is the equal of the best grown on earth. The Miles mill, which be gan operating only in September this year, is now selling its output at the same price as the output, of Irish and Belgian mills which hive been in existence 300 years. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars, every cent of it subscribed by Salem people, is invested in the Miles mill. Showing the faith of hard-headed business figures in ,the enterprise is a subscription of i$25,000 by the great banking house of I.add & Bush, Salem. But half the building is now in use, plans having been made for a big addition to the machinery as the business develops. In Salem all eyes are fixel on the proposed linen mill, for further development of the flax industry in western Oregon. Like the Miles mill, every dollar of its great revenue would be an Oregon dol lar that would remain in Oregon. The Miles mill has already dem onstrated in a small way what a big thing flax production can be made in the Willamette valley. An industry that sends no money out but keeps every cent at home, and which at the same time des'roy-? no great natural asset, as the culling of timber does, is rare.
