If any western tourist wants to
see a real, honest-to-poodnesa Ari
zona deputy Bherlff who can still
look complacently-on lire after see
ing a dozen men die in shoe leath

' ' r . (Portland Journal.) , '. ..
r Four hundred and twenty thousand dollars waa! the appropria-
' tlon tSt the Oregdn: penitentiary for the two years before Mr. Pierce
became gqvernor. He was given the same allowance by the legisla
ture on his proposaa thatlpO.OOO to be used for establishing indus
tries 'for employment of convicts in the institution, j 9
't v--Oq the $320,000 he maintained the prison his first two years and
turned'baek a small balance. I The $100,000 was spent in establishing
Industries, in which many more convicts were employed. ,
The cost per; convict when he took charge was $46 per month.
He cut the cost to $2S, the last month having coat a trifle over $28.
In an .address before the Progressive Business' Men's club," Portland,
GovernorPierce pointed out that this cut in the- cost effects' a saving
of nearly $9000 t month.' . ; ' "
! r 4lfnibr-ot the Portland Chamber of COmra'erce reqently visited
the prison arid saw a building 175 feet long filfe with i flax machines.
In charge of Ihese machines and conducting operations were nearly
. 200 convicts. It was .a busy sscene" that .coulft-eaaUyi have .been rnis-
"'Materf'fer a 'great 'factory anywhere tin thef eos-orld, Operated by

- -The activity called forth, many commendatory remarks from the
visitors, who believe With Governor Pierce that there Ira way to keep
ionvicts employed and make the prison self-supporting.
-J- The above from.lhe Portland Journal of a few days ago
is appreciated by the men who have so faithfully worked to
get the industries of the Oregon penitefitiary Jo their present
status- . . ; . - v"4 - - ' -: -.. . j
; ' A condition of greater efficjehcy than ever bef pre.
But there is a long way to go yet, to the. goal of self
jsupport, and to the mark of a wage for every inmate worker,
and a number of other advances that will go with these. , t,
- 3ut if -the pebplej of Oregon can be thoroughly sold on
the idea of the self support of this institution ; self sUpport
through the operation of industries, "the tinie of the reaching
of the goal will be-much hastened j . -
V - For there Will then be no hesitancy in giving the appro
priations yet- needed for machinery; and appliances. If the
savings of a year; or something like $108,000, were now
ii invested ' in new" t mi c n n e ry and a p p 1 i a n c e s, the
ti'me of complete self support to a; very
7 near date in the future; with good management ; --
. Though the time will come without this, under the oper
ation of the revolving fund law. ' : -
By just keeping on keeping on, under that law, the in
stitution will work itself out to the point of self support.
Good management and good luck will of course help to hasten
the time. - : - , - ' - ' .

penitentiary. . ' : 'y; ;:' ' ; - ;

As was to be expected, the
charge made by Winston Church

convincing rejoinder1,-and have no
