Up to this time no part of the moneys so loaned have been re paid, but it Is encouraging to note that if the flax operations at that institution continue at the same desreo of progress during the next few years as they have during the past two years that within a short time it may be possible to return to the 'general fund some, IT not all of the moneys that have been loaned for the installation and operation of the existing in dustrial activities at such institu tion.

"The- punishment . now Is -a slnfle one: confinement in the "bull pen." Take Tor of I . "ftnll Iseelf . Guided by Mr. Rogers the party was conducted to the "hail pen ' Mr. Rogers explaining that the publie generally was net admit ted due to the fact that discipline was more difficult to maintain with a stream of visitors passing by the cells but he emphasised the point that anyone who oemanaea to see the bull pen could do so; no nart of the orison is necessar ily kept from the public's riew." The "bull pen" itself is a small cell house and exercise yard. In the cell block which is attached to the south end of the penitentiary building proper are seven cells, nmtected bv a sturdy roof and an nnen corridor. It is true that the cells are open to the air although a 'porch approximately eight, feet In 7ldin, ail coverea, maxes n virtually. Impossible for rain or snow to enter the cells. , The cells themselves are of the type built in the prison proper. Vrinn9r9 are allowed as many blankets r.s needed, ranging from two tan in o depending on the sea son Of lis jcar. Each prisoner in PARTICIPATE HERE This is a picture of the very attractive English type house now being erected in Kingwood Heights, West Salem, by Klin gen smith and Bond. Stucco, shakes and brick will be combined to form the walls of the new home. Completion of the building Is expected by Jnne I. The home is considered model one and i open for public inspection daring the construction the bull pen was questioned to and out if he had sufficient blan kets to keep warm and each pris oner of the five confined answer ed that he did. Fjtch Cell Contains Sreel Cot for Bed Each cell contains a steel cot Each cell is thoroughly cleaned ! daily. Prisoners are allowed from one to three hours exercises dally depending on the nature of the weather. Each prisoner is shaved once a week and baths are requir ed unde'r a shower which is at tached to the wall of the open en closure in the bull pen where the prisoners exercise. The "dungeon,." center of at tack in several articles, is a cell like the others with the exception that its door is of solid steel ex cept for a food opening and small air and light holes in the top part of the door. The dungeon is used only in extreme cases qf bad dis cipline and then only as long as the prisoner is untractable. It is not I true that the nrlsnnpr la rpnnlrori to sleep on the floor; rather a cot is furnished him but because one prisoner tore up the Iron cot for merly in the dungeon and attack ed a guard, a folding cot is placed in the cell each time it is used. Menus Furnished Same As That Given Main Line Menus furnished the prisoners in the "bull pen," contrary to re ports of bread and water diet, are exactly the same as those given the prisoners in the regular cell blocks with the exception that only two meals are given daily. Heaping quart bowls are filled with the food and every prisoner in the "bull pen" is given as much to eat as he needs or desires. Not a prisoner leaves the bull pen that does jiot weigh more than when he entered. A sample menu, fed to the pris oners in the bull pen this week is: Rolled oat mush with milk. .. Roast beef hash Bread, syrup, coffee. Apple sauce. Such was the breakfast diet. The afternoon menu was: Beef stew and vegetables Brown beans Dill pickles Bread, syrup, and tea Prunes In the bull pen this week there were five prisoners. Two ot the men were there for fighting; one was in for vile remarks made about the warden; one man had attempted to escape from a down town office and was confined as a method of panlshment. There was no evidence of filth about the cells; there was every indication among the men them selves that they were- well fed. Small Yard Allows Room-For Exercise In the yard adjoining the "bull pen" is a circle track 30 feet in diameter. Around this the men are allowed to exercise always under the surveilance of a guard. A small plot has been spaded and raked by the prisoners and a gar den will be planted when weather permits. While rigorous, the dis cipline does not appear to the vis itor as unfair or inhumane. Pris oners do not like the confinement, naturally, but are given to under stand that such is the punishment expected for infractions of the rules. A tour of the entire institution reveals a plant as busy, as effi cient and as well kept as that of the largest and best manufactur ing institutions ,in . the world of business." Not a man in. the prison, except those in or In cell confinement for disobedience to rules. Is allowed to be idle; work Is found for all. 0 We have obtained the distribution of CEQTAIN-f EBB Potato and Voamlclico And are making an introductory offer Anyone desiring paint for any purpose for inside or.; outside work, of the highest quality made will . find it to their advantage to see us.

The prison tailoring shop is the source of supply for the clothes of the Inmates as well as for suits which are used when the prisoners are "dressed out." Hundreds of the men are employed in the flax plant; scores work in the machine shops where not only the flax pulling ntachines are now being manufactured but also scutching machines are now being erected under a royalty paid to the Eng lish concern from which the first scutcher was purchased. The visitors to the prison were permitted to interview a number of men. Not a single man com plained at the food diet or the treatment received from the guards. Every man declared that conditions were better at the spite penitentiary then had exist ed for years. Without the walls and without the tell tale numbers on the shirts of the men, one might readily imagine that behind the stark walls of the main build ing, a great manufacturing' con cern was bnsy with 00 to 700 men at work. E I (Continued from Page 1.) the house. At fe senate side of the capitol little sentiment has been manifest for reviving the controversy over the fee principle but some doubt existed as to what position might be taken on the debenture plan which has found favor there in the eyes of many. The ballotting by tbe house committee virtually completed the work on the new farm measure. It is the plan of Chairman Haugh en of the committee to introduce the bill as soon as the house con vents. It is expected to be known as bill No. 1, and take precedence over tariff legislation. The lead ers have said they hoped to carry along tariff revision hand in hand with farm relief and that It was hte prime purpose to revise the tariff with a view ot assisting the farmer. The farm bill will be introduced in the house by Chairman Haugen of the agriculture committee which is expected to report it out in time for work to be started in the house on Wednesday. Tuesday will be occupied with the recep tion of President Hoover's mes sage to the new congress. In the senate the agriculture measure will not be Introduced until Wednesday. After this has been done the senate plans to ad journ until the next day. The house measure . has been represented by members of the ag riculture committee as having .the approval ef the president. It was laid before him yesterday by. the agriculture sub committee .which drafted it and after studying the bill last night he conferred again with them today. Members said he suggested several minor, changes, but in general approved of tbe measure. The committee today re vised the bill to conform to Mr. Hoover's wishes. Although the text of the bill has not yet been made public, it fol lows the program outlined in the republican platform and by Mr. Hoover .during the presidential campaign. . This program called Jor a fed eral farm board that would have at its disposal a revolting fund to use in making loans to cooperative marketing agencies and stabilisa tion corporations that would -be set up if requested by the produc ers. These" corporations would seek to eliminate violent price depres sions by taking surplus products off the market and feeding them back gradually as the neeas oi the market might demand.

Dictation By Outside Parties Is Resented The Issue, according to several members of the council, resolves itself into a question of whether the majority of the council shall rule, or its policies be dictated by outsiders.

The 5A teacher Is of the opinion that "darn" Is a perfectly proper word for her classroom for the reason that two lessons in darning stockings were had during the week.

Lillian Wirth and Ruth Kraxberger, teachers from West Lynn in Clack amasi county, spent the afternoon in Grant school on Friday.
