The federal authorities, Cfcaney says, expressed a readiness to per mit the state courts to try Do Au treinont on the more serious harr first. The. county will also request that the army, in whose keeping he now is, to hold him 'until short ly before the trial, as a precau tionary measure.

Public opinion in this county on the crime, one of the most atro cious in the crime anals of the Pa cific coast, has beezr from the start evenly divided, a large por tion adhering to the theory of the father that his three sons were the victims of the well-laid plot of the real bandits. The father, Paul De Autremont of Eugene, made sev eral visits to this city during the first investigation of the robbery. Recent developments have caus ed a renewal of general discussion of the mystery, which is a maze ot tangled rumors and facts.

Another law authorizes the appointment of a superinten dent who shall be the executive head of - the penitentiary. . The superintendent, under the new act, has authority to appoint the ward en and deputy warden, subject to confirmation by the board of con trol. It was said that the superinten dent would pass most of his time looking- after the state industries at the prison. These industries have expanded, rapidly during the past, few years. Reports said to have eminated from the executive department in rtfatp that appointments of mem- i hers of the state game commission and state fish commission would be deferred until the legislature ha adlourned snd all bill In the hands of tie governor have been disposed of. It was said by persons close t the administration that W. A. Marshall, republican, and E. E. Bragg, democrat, would be re tained as members of the state industrial accident commission. Mr. Marshall has served on the commission since its creation, while Mr. Bragg has served for a period of approximately four years.

THE POPULAR H It Is Going So Strong That Maker of It Is Swamped With, Orders ' Prun-Wal, the new Salem con fection, made of a nice blending of Oregon prunes and walnuts, and' chocolate, has been on the market only a few days But Benjamn F. West, the man who conceived the Idea and copyj righted and otherwise protected it, and put it on sale here, is al ready embarrassed by the orders that are coming in; resale orders too. One Salem groceryman said he could have sold a bushel of Prun Wal if he could have had a full supply yesterday. Mr. West Is expecting Immej diately to speed up his manufac turing of the confection, by the addition ot machinery. First thing we all know, thip will be a real factory, and supply - ng a large outlet for Oregon prunes and walnuts. Stranger things have happened. Any way the kck-off has been far and away above expectations. If thb whole country catches on like this, it will take a 11 story bundl ing to house the future Prun-Wal factory.- EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE All eorrpoadBC for (his " depart eaeot must b airned by tha writer, nut b written . on oat aid f to paper omly, an 4 clufd not ba ton car thaa.

Pat terson is the first native son to be chosen as governor of Oregon. This is a decided error. Any one familiar with Jfhe political history of our state will remember that back in 1898 T. T. Geer was elec ted governor. Mr. Geer was a native of Oregon, - born in the Waldo hills, Marion, county, in 1851. V ' ; ,. I also notice in your paper this morning that Mr. B. F.

CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 . to "Physic" Your Child To Dr. W, B Caldwell, of muu- ticello, 111.; a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that' so many constipated infants and children had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by tak ing cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he anew that constipation was the cause, of nearly all chil dren's little jlls, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "phy sic" every day or two was neces sary. ,In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered : a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel regularity, even if the child was chronically constipated.. Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin not only caus es a een tie -easy bowel movement Out, best of all, it never gripes sickens or upsets the most delicate system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick childgladly takes it.
