Tourist travel through JBend this season has boon much Ilghtor than during tho past several yeasr, accord ing to tho garago men of tho city. This Is not attributed entirely to tho condition ot tho roads, but rather to tho fact that as a wholo people who generally spend their summers on long tours aro this year busily engaged In war work and aro loath to take oven a short vacation. Road conditions aro good, it la ex plained. Tho ono bad feature has been tho Columbia highway between Caacado Locks and The Dalles. Thla, whllo not yet completed, has been greatly improved. For several months it was necessary to ferry tho car either up tho river from tho locks or by train, olthcr ot which afforded considerable lnconvcnlonco and ox- penso to tho motorist. This can be avoided at tho present time, however, by arriving at either end of tho con struction work previous to 8 o'clock in tho morning, during tho noon hour or aftor C in tho evening, when tho road la open to travel.

Gang la Ono That Cannot Do Handled by tlio Honor System Condi Uotw at the Prlnon Aro Not of tlio HcnU (BpwUI to Tb Dullotln.) SAX.EM, Aug. 8. Convicts aro funny guys. In fact, tho ordinary convict has ft lino of whims and pe culiarities as long as tho yollow streak down tho spinal column ot a conscientious objector. This has been brought forcibly homo to a tow thousand pcoplo around Salem who havo been living among convlcta all their lives, ns It were. What do you think ot a poor simp who has a nlco houso all fixed up for him, with lots of good grub, a nlca placo to sloop, plenty ot ball games, moving picture shows, shower baths, hot and cold water, and real lira flunkies to wait on him at table with hla clothes, shoes, hats, shirt and tics all furnished, and tho fat of tho land to llvo upon what do you think of a poor simp wbo would skip out from under such an arrange ment as that into tho cold, cold, dis couraging and heartless world? And further, what would you think of a. beanlcss boob llko that who would skip when all ot tho aforesaid lux uries aro not costing him a solitary almoleon or an Isolated centimo? That's Just what a convict will do, because he and his messmates bare been demonstrating it tho past low weeks around these hero parts to tho best of their ability. Consequently tho romark Is mado that a convict Is a funny guy. Undor tho original schemo ot things, when our forefathers drow up tho good old constitution away back in tho '50s, tho plan was that whea a man was stuck into prison he should stay thero until hla tlmo was elapsed. Whllo he was there ho was to bo busy at some littlo operation llko making stoves, or keeping the lawn mowed, or the -warden's horse curried. More recently the situation has changed considerably, howevor, and what was once Intended as a house of correction sort ot devolopcd Into a play houso and beauty parlor com bined. Honor Gang n Failure. Dut apparently tho thing won't work, becauso Governor Wlthycombe declares that tho experiment ot tho honor gang and tho trusty gang ia n failure, and ho knows, becauso threo years of exporionco havo been accorded It undor his administration. Tho honor sang plan was first adopt ed back in tho West reglmo, and It must bo said that at first blush It acted fairly well. It had a better chanco then becauso a better class ot men woro serving under It than now. Then came a gradual change ot plan until, undor Warden Mlnto, the stern arm ot discipline descended upon tho convicts llko a mailed fist. Thoro woro rumors of hosing and horolc treatment of convlcta and as an upshot a convicts' striko was staged, somothlng that could happen in no placo under the sun where tho Oregon system doesn't prevail, and Mlnto lost his Job. Thon Charloy Murphy camo Into tho limelight. And here Is n word (Continued on last page.)
