If Passed It Will Subject Every For

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.

AT THE annual dinner of the Electrical club at the
Montauk clubhouse, Brooklyn, a noted electrician
stated that the world is on the edge oi" a great discovery.
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.

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
