worth while organization and tends
toward greater harmony between pa
trons and teachers.
Like a conquering horde the pheas
ant hunters descended upon us again
Sunday morning. Shooting promis
cuously anything they see move, be it
a farmer, turkey, chicken, a quail or
what not, shooting toward houses or
barns till the inhabitants are almost
compelled to take refuge within doors
until the annual visitation is over.
Boardman farmers become wrathy
and. indignant. The ranchers feed
these birds throughout the year and
strangers from Portland and other
places come in and shoot them, wan
tonly disregarding all laws as tj bag
limits and frequently forgetting cour
tesy and other refinements, no doubt
thinking we are merely poor ignorant
"hicks" up this way. "No hunting"
signs mean nothing to them. They
merely want to shoot birds and more
birds females or cocks it seems to
make no difference. It does not make
good feeling. We have no particular
solution to offer.

hieroglyphics which is on the river

LEST WE FORGET
Roy W. Ritner, as president of the
State Senate, was acting Governor of
Oregon for 35 days during November
and December, 1922, and including
January 1, 1923. During this time
Mr. Ritner extended executive clem
ency to seventy-four inmates of the
Oregon penitentiary including 28 pa
roles, 27 pardons, 7 paroles and re
storations to citizenship and 12 com
mutations of sentence.
On Nov. 1, 1922, there were 469 in
mates of the state "pen" which had a
capacity of 600. ,
Among those released by him dur
ing this time were 10 men convicted
of murder in the first or second de
gree sentenced to life imprisonment
and having served time ranging from
4 years 11 months to 11 years. Some
of these crimes were of the most de
liberate and cold blooded kind, among
them being murders by three Chi
nese gunmen or hired assassins of
rival tongs who shot down their vic
tims on the street in reckless disre
gard of the lives of white citizens. In
the case of one Chinese, Gov. Olcott
had refused a pardon and in the oth
er two judgment had been affirmed by
the Supreme Court of Oregon and the
special prosecutor in the case said
he never knew or heard of application
for pardon for either until he read
in the daily papers that they had been
pardoned by Acting Governor Ritner.
Four were released who had been
convicted of rape after serving por
tions of sentences, the details of the
crimes being revolting in the extreme.
One case of unusual local interest
was that of a man convicted of secur
ing over $8,000.00 from Umatilla coun
ty on forged road warrants pardoned
after serving 13 months of a five
year sentence. Gov. Olcott's office re
fused consideration of this case in
June, 1922.
The above statement of facts is
taken from the report of a Committee
of the Oregon Bar Association after
Mines In!

seph N. Teal, Chairman, and four
other attorneys of Oregon.
Mr. Ritner after serving eight years
in the Senate and in both elections
unopposed by the Democratic Party,
is now a candidate for Joint Repre
sentative and is opposed by the under
signed, Joseph N. Scott, Democratic
nominee, a native of Umatilla county,
a graduate of the Weston Normal
school and a farmer by occupation.
I am in favor of a State income

fewer, better and nlainer laws.
If elected I will work for the best
interests of this District and of Ore
gon. I regard a public office as a
public trust.
