Up to date something over $200 have been paid into the city treasury for dog license; but this Is many dollars short of what should be paid In.

These were advertised and if the owner does not show up within two days from this morning and pay the tar on the dogs with $1 for impound ing, -they will all be taken out and killed.

Evidence has come to light show ing that Harry Tracy began his plans to escape from tho penitentiary at Salem immediately after his incarcer ation, says the Oregon Daily Journal. The criminal cunning of the man was never fully appreciated by the prison officials. This Is easily explained by the fact that although ho was known to be a desperate man, his record for breaking out of prison in Colorado and Montana was at that time un known. Tracy's wife lived In Portland when he and Merrill were sentenced to tho penitentiary for burglary in that clt yand it was through her that the convict tried to secure guns and tools with which to escape. Mrs. Trnrv In the alstor of Dave Merrill She Ib thought to have given tho con vict some assistance, but the nrst ap npni from Tracv to send him a revol ver, a saw and a brace on the inside of a ham, was unheeded by the wo man, as she evidently Baw the folly of such an attempt. Tracy took a novel way to write the request for the revolver and tools to ins wne. Used Invisible Ink. All lettere leaving the penitentiary are scanned by the prison officials and therefore the prisoner could not write such a letter as would not be destroyed before it could get beyond tho penitentiary walls. He wrote an innocent-looking family letter to his wife, who Is Merrill's sister, on April 2. 1899. On the back of this letter he used invisible ink, which when placed over a lamp, would Bhow out distinctly. There was, of course, no reference in the family letter to the one on the back, but word was sent by other sources for his wife to hold the letter over a lamp to bring out its Instructions to her. These letters have been obtained by the Journal and are published ver batim. The family letter Is as fol lows: Tracy's Letter. State Penitentiary Salem, Or. April 2, 1899. My Dear Wife: I read your al ways welcome letter two days ago; was more than glad to hear from you I am getting along pretty well and hope this will find you the same. I am working in tho foundry. "Well, dear, I will not be able to rite much of A letter as news iB very scarce here and I am only allowed one sheet of paper. Visiting day here Is every day. Say, Mollle, I will talk to Ben if you wish me to, but don't bolleve anything he tells you. He is the worst enemy you have. It was him Instead of Dave that turned me and him and your mother only are try ing to work you for money and infor mation. When your money is gone their friendship will go to. Now, Dear, don't think I am superstitious I have good reasons for speaking as I do if you take any stock in him you will see your mistake. If Dave did do me rong Ben did also and he would gladly do more. As for him taking care of you what did he do when you were sick last winter? Of course I npreciate his kindness now, butI know how long it will last Don't let them get any worse. We must pray for the best -and I am sure our prayer will be answered some day. Well, my dear, don't get discouraged. I will try to get along as well as I can. I have had no trouble yet Send my love to mother and everyone and you can copy Borne of their letters and send to me as you can rite as long letters as you wish. Well, goodby dear. From Harry Tracy. Appeals for Revolver. The appeal on the back of the above letter Is as follows: "Mollle darling, send me a ham and some sugar and coffee, cut the inside of the ham and put a file and a saw and a brace In it. Tho saws are about the size of a corset steel. The brace won't cost much and will be handy to hold. Send them as soon as you can. "Get a Colt's with 25 cartridges single action and get 25 cartridges for It. The brace is for saws. You can put everything In the ham. Send It to Robert E, Wilson. He has only a short time to serve. "Answor right away and tell me If you get this, and you know whore I told you to go If you hear about me getting away. Well, goodby, darling little girl. I am nearly sure to break this time. Save your money so you don't get broke. "TRACY." Letter From Merrill. On the name date Merrill also wrote a letter to Mrs. Tracy, as. fol lows: "Dear Slater: Your letter was quite a surprise. In fact, I thought you had quit me for good when you throwed In with Bon. You say Bon paid the lawyer. If ho did, in the name of common sense, what did he do It for7 You know the lawyer throwed me, to toll the truth, he was employed for no other purpose than to put me away for life. Where did Ben get money to pay lawyor7 "Well dear little sister, Bon maj be a good boy, but he ought just have paid some 01 uiu - fend me. They would have done as well as Banks. I will Bay nothing more about Ben or mother. The best I can do is to leave them to their con sclents. , . ... "Good-by. From your ''"f"' er "DAVE MERRILL. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. E.
