(Oregon Journal.)
After trying the convict labor on
the Crater Lake wncon road for fif
teen days, tho oitixons of Medford
nnd the section of Jackson county in
which the work is being carried on
arc enthusiastic over the results and
predict n success beyond the expec
tation of even Governor West, ac
cording to Br. J. V. Bodily of Medford
who is visiting in the city.
4iWhen (Wornor West sent Ihe
convicts to uso ho gave the charge
of them to George Putnam of ihe
Mail Tribune, William Gcrig, general
mnungor of the Pacific & Eastern
railway nnd myself.'' said Dr. Roddy.
''Of course we arc not no?- in actual
charge of the men. but we are respon
sible for them while they are there.
"The camp contains twenty-seven
at present nnd but one mnn is with
them. Superintendent Grieves, repre
senting the county court nnd super
using the const ruction work. N
firearm, barricades, chains or any
thing else of that diameter are to be
seen around the camp nnd the dres
of the men would not indicate that
the camp was other thnn an ordinary
road camp.
"The convicts arc far happier tlwn
at the penitentiary and all say Hint
they would far rather be there tlrm
at Salem. We are providing them
with ns good food and quarters a
possible.
"Instead of looking upon tho estab
lishment of such a camp with di
fnvor nnd apprehension the people of
that section are all pleased with the
work being accomplished and are
boosting the system. Wc have found
the work to be a great success and
ery efficiently done. I ft fact, the
efficiency of this crew is equal to '.f
not a little better than Hint of a reg
ularly paid crew.
"The convicts arc being paid at the
rate of 23 cents a day and all cx
!cnses. We have found that ns Tar
as the ex)oiiso of building ronds un
der this system is concerned it i
about o0 per cent of what it would
be with ordinary paid labor. Thus
wc can make onr road funds do twice
as much.
"Wc hope to got more men for thii
work nnd will not quit when this road
is completed. The noxt to be taken
ui will probably be the Pacific high
way and after that the roads through
out tho county.
"As to how the convicts feel nbout
being placed on their honor, an inci
dent occurred the other day which
gives an illustration. One of the
men had been sent seventeen miles
from camp with a team and wagon
for supplies. Time passed and he did
not return. The superintendent be
came somewhat worried. A fellow
convict to the superintendent that it
was a safe bet that tho man would
return nnd sure enough about !)
o'clock that evening ho npponrcd.
The men are all anxious to show that
those who are knocking tho system
are wrong and that they can be trust
ed. "For the proscnl wo nro keeping
them as far as possible in the more
mnuutifinoiiB and less thickly popu
lated districts in order that they need
not be subjoctcd to any more temp
tations than nocoKsary. When they
have had their liberty Jong enough to
become accustomed to it they will bo
proof against temptation."
NAPA, Cal. Itiehaard Mitiasch,
plaintiff in a peace disturbance suit,
saw a venire of LT, men awaiting him
lie fled. The case waasdistnissed.
