WOULD SMOTHER All ALIEN BILL If Passed It Will Subject Every For eign Born Immigrant in England to Police Control Which is Thounht Bad Practice. T JCFORM with a bi R liarf been undertaken at the Ore - gon penitentiary by Governor West, which the peo ple will watch with sympathetic interest-and lend cordial support in making successful. The indeterminate sentence and the parole system Are to be made use of to revolutionize affairs, with the idea of reforming offenders rather than punishing them. The effort is to make the prisoners self-supporting and good citizens', to teach them industry and show them how to earn an honest living, so that when released, they may work out a career for themselves. The initial move consisted in introducing cleanliness. The entire institution was made and will be kept spot less. A plunge bath has been provided and clean raiment furnished toilers after finishing work. Moving picture shows and lectures arc to supply occasional entertainment, and baseball games will be permitted Saturday afternoons. A chance will be given prisoners to earn their release. Three tables will be provided at which all )risoners will eat. The first will be for the best behaved, and will have table cloth, catsup, saltf aii(l pepper and on Sundays but ter and milk. The men can talk in a limited degree with each other during meals. The second table will be for prisoners of medium good behavior, no table cloth, butter or milk and less attractive food. Table three will supply the present prison fare and men cannot communicate and must eat with faces toward the wall. According to behavior, the prisoners will be moved from oiie table to the other. Pardons and paroles will be granted only those who eat at table one, and the recipient must have been there a considerable length of time and made good to secure freedom. Every prisoner is thus given a chance not only to better his prison life, but to earn his liberty. A plan is under consideration whereby the prisoner will be able to earn a certain amount that will be given him upon release, in order to start life anew.

Ja predicted: "Inside of two years electricity will bo as common as oil for household purposes. A child will be able to take care o.f it. Unless we are wrong in certain experiments' the making of a kitchen fire will soon be simply the turning on of a brass handle. There will be no use for wood or coal." This assertion was followed by another prophecy made by Charles W. Price, proprietor of the Electrical Review and of the Western Electrician, who summed up tho situa tion as lollews: " L dare make the prediction, based' on knowledge of im portant experiments, that the day is not far distant when the coal pile in the cellar will be replaced by the electrical reservoir of boxlike shape and moderate si.e, to furnish heat throughout the entire building and also to the kit chen in residences for cooking. And this will be done eco nomically as compared with coal, as this accumulated elec tricity will be stored at low cost and be on tap for use when needed. I am liopetul that this may be realized betore one year from now." With these roseate prospects in view, the "Rogue River valley can congratulate itself upon the fact that Colonel Ray has begun the construction of a 125,000 horsepower electrical power plant at Prospect, which means plenty of electricity and therefore cheap electricity. .Mny the new invention speed the day when the wood pile and tho coal bin will be no more anil the sootless city be born.

Where to Go Tonight DEFIANCE OF THE LAW. TNSOM3NT disregard of the law, indifference io (he t'ish- iiitf interests of the Koue Kiver section and defiance of popular opinion could not e;o much further than the action of the receiver of the Clolden Drift Mining company in placing a centrifugal pump in the fishway recently con structed at the Anient dam, and using a gasoline engine to pump water (herefrom. This fish ladder is a temporary one, installed upon or ders from Governor West after a visit to the dam, aftev approval by the court, iu order to permit the season's run of fish to ascend the stream to spawning ground. It is to be replaced eventually by a permanent fishway to bo constructed as the dam is rebuilt. No sooner had tho state finished construction, turneil the water in and the fish warden turned his back, than those in charge of construction work at the dam began to use the fish ladder for their own convenience and render it impossible and impassable for fish. The Anient dam has been since its construction, the worst obstacle that fish encounter in their journey up (he Rogue from tho sea. It has been the scene' of almost con stant law breaking by poachers. The attitude of those in eharpe has ever been inimical to tho protection of the fish and it has boon necessary in times gone liy to keep a war den there night and day to enforce 'the law. Tho Anient dam, the product of a get-rich-quiok swin dle, has boon the cause of more friction than any structure in Oregon. For years it has served no useful purpose, is a iioccpess impediment in me stream. It has been utterly useless since its partial destruction hy the floods IS months ago. It is hoped, by rebuilding it, to'hold water rights and sou irrigation water, nut tins dues not inst v eontomnt of iustifv eontomi 1I1.1jI1.I1 " me law oy tiio ouimers.
