O Lord, how long? Thy serrants. Psalm 90:13.' 12. 1027 .And let It repent Thee concerning 1 r PENITENTIARY REVOLVING FUND ' A day or two ago, the Oregon penitentiary authorities turned into , the state treasury $32,000. This is not un usual. It is happening every little while. It will happen rrior4often from now on than at any former time, because therf will be flax seed .to sell, at the rate of around $250 a daV; and lime will be going to the farmers at the rate pfffouror;iye cars K day the lime rpek is now coming in and -Wng crushed at the. rate of four cars a day, and there is V surplus on hand of several hundred tons , And there will be money from the sales of long line -fiber, spinning tow, upholstering tow, stock feed made from itiife; flax bollr etc:, etc.; to -say nothing of sales of brick, farmf. produce, other industrial products and miscellaneous :items-rt L-' " " For thejturns from everything sold goes into the re volving fund- " ; And the . money receipts will run around (perhaps above) $1000 a day; and they should be double that by the end of next year. All ihis means. that the Oregon state prison has be ,come an industrial institution ; a big and growing factory, ' with' every, able ; bodied inmate at work. i Proper machinery and equipment and facilities, and p'pfoper,jdirectqn of their work, will finally make the insti tution self Isuppbrting.' V But Ahis cannot come till there is a surplus. None of the money that goes into the revolving fund can be used "fdfTh other purpose fhan revolving fund operations; for buying raw materials and hiring labor to work them up, and providing buildings and machinery and equipment for use in wbrking them up. There is, however, a provision of thei revolving fund law that reads : 1Ai: such time as the revolving fund hereby created shall have been increased, to the extent that. the moneys hcrebappropfiated are no longer needed, the same may, In the discretion of the governor and warden, be used for the maintenance of the. Oregon state penitentiary-" i- The legislature of 1923 passed the revolving fund law, and the appropriation was $100,000. Manifestly, no money can be taken from the revolving fund to pay maintenance expenses until there is a surplus, and there can be no surplus i as long fis'there is a dearth of machinery and equipment, and a cDnjtant increase of operations, requiring mounting sums fcfr raw materials and labor to work them up ' ; And under the. clause quoted, if it stands that way, there can thenbe only $100,000 taken for maintenance. The clause Was quoted froni the Minnesota revolving fund law, when some $3,000,000 was appropriated for providing 4build injjs and machinery and equipment, etc.; and the surplus in the Minnesota revolving fund of the Stillwater penitenti- ! ary has for years been around $4,000,000, and the institution nas ueen seu supporting since ivua.

They think they can get a seven-foot stage; whereas half that depth would be a sufficient depth for barge transportation. There are only about seven points in the river between Salem and Newberg that need the permanent improvements, and practically no work below Newberg Will be needed. This is very good news. The attention of the United States government will hereafter be given more largely' to internal improvements, to great water power developments and navigation problems and, the like f - . The Mississippi flood has stressed this idea of in ternal Improvements T ' . So that disaster will serve; the purpose, among other things, of bringing still water to the Willamette river at a nearer date than might have been possible had not the fa ther of waters gone on such a rampage.

Bditor Statesman: Considerable complaint is being made to the City Park Board in reference to trees and shrubbery where ithe branches are drooping so that! they interfere with pedes trians and traffic. ,Ilf Is a difficult matter for the Park 'Board to cover the entire cltjr and locate places where such conditions exist, and the Board would, appreciate the co-operation of the I property owners in trim ming their trees and shrubs so that they will not interfere with traffic.' As long as it is dry; weather many of the limbs. will hold up, but as soon as the rains begin they will droop down, and it is very annoying to run into a condition of this kind; particularly when you have on your best cloth- Walter Stoltz has been looking over the prune orchards of the Salem district, with a view to determining the pros pects for a canning crop; doing this work for the Hunt can nery 'here. He does not find encouraging prospects for a high class quality of fruit , in most orchards. Many of the prune orchards in this section have been neglected. They "have not had the proper attention in cultivation and fer tilization, and -pruning. The, owners have not had 'returns that would enable them to properly,. take .care of their trees. But Mr. Stolz, in his examination of prune orchards, has also been checking up on the walnut orchards. He finds a great deal of encouragement here. As readers of The Statesman know, Mr. Stolz has high hopes for the walnut industry here. He believes every farmer, almost, should have at least a few acres of walnuts. Say an average of at least five acres. He thinks they will find more profits in their walnuts than in any other five acres of their holdings. Still water in the Willamette is on the program of the United States Engineers. That is great. Good summer resort weather in Salem. No other country can beat our late summer and fall climate.
