from JuckKon county Hint u nil in her
of hla "honor monj' ho ont to work
upon tho Crntcr Inko highway, which
tho governor ntntcd ho thought wan
n stuto rwthor thuii a county project.
About 30 of tho men frqm tho utato

on tho highway, whoro they havo
been nt work threo montliB, without

who ccnie In contact with tho men
U tho forutnau nppontod, by the
cuuiiiy cuuri to uircci incir worK,
and ho hn no authority over the
men during their lelsuro hours.
Tho "honor men" eom upprccla-
itlvn of tho privilege extended them
by Uovernor Wohi and "mndo good"
early ut workers. They do more
work In a day than tho ordinary
laborer, whllo tho county 'is out but
25 cents a day for wages, this being
tho allowance for each man, and
what It costs to feed and cloth them.
Tho men are encamped In a splen
did location and havo named their
camp "V'etvlllo, Honor Camp No. 1,"
In compliment to Governor "West.
Tho men aro employed through tho
winter on a heavy rock grado on the
Crater lake highway. Noxt summer
they will bo placed on sections of the
road whore they can work to tho best
advantage. They are making much
progris on the work, and tho gov
ernor's attempt to make not only
roads, but men, seems to be nn
assured success.
