School Matters,
The Democrat mentioned the site
for the new school house to go up at
tne cast end on the JJurkhart prop
crty as a gift, but it is not. Two
aeres have been secured at a cost of
$3500. The gift of a block in the new
addition was offered, but the location
jwas not considered satisfactory by the
board, and the board chose a site fur-

A Valuable Oak Tree.
At the Linn & Benton office n-.ay be
seen a solid mass of stuff resemhlinir
chamois skin, which Warren llulbcrt,
residing near Albany, found in the cen

it is about as tough as chamois, which
it resembles in a remarkable manner.
How much there is of this on Mr.
Hulbert's farm is not known: but it
suggests an opportunity for promo
tion ol a great industry. It is easy to
figure out enormous possibilities if
Mr. Hulhcrt has sufficient of the stuff
hidden away in his trees. Chamois
skin is costly, and there ought to be
millions in it.

A PENITENTIARY

address at Cottage Grove on running
the penitentiary, making some state-
Kncnts that deserve consideration. A
reported bv the Leader he presented
facts worth listning to, He said:
"Idleness and litiuor are the two
greatest factors in the making of crim
inals." He has done away with tin
old regime idleness and the "bull pen"
in the penitentiary and is providing
work and a chance for the prisoners
to learn some profitable trade instead.
He advocates good sanitary condi
tions that the prisoners may not leave
the prison with the additional handi
cap of ill health or some incurable
contagion when their time expires,

been the custom to confine with hard
ened criminals mere youths who
through some minor crimes or com
bination of circumstances have been
convicled and sentenced to serve
terms in the penitentiary, and In
seeks to remedy this evil. He main
tains that tins state institution
should be designed more as a great
reformatory than a place of phir-th-uirnt.
