MEDFOTJD MAIL TRTBUXE. MEPFOTJD, OKEGOX, FRIDAY, XOVElfBER 24, 1933. PAGE FTVEi SCARES PRISONER AFTER 22 YEARS By IRVIN L. DAVIES. (United Press Staff Correspondent) SALT LAKE CITY A child would have laughed with glee, but to Joljn Corriettl, 56, "Dean" of the Utah state penitentiary, hts first automo bile ride outside the gates In 22 years seemed almost unbearable. Corriettl, who has served twice ae long as any other prisoner held la the penitentiary, urged Warden R. B. Davis to "please take me back, please go home," when the automobile in which they were riding approached the business district. Each time another automobile passed their car, Corriettl flinched and crowded closer to his guards as though fearing some gTeat monster was threatening him. Once a street car passed and whistled. It was almost too much for the prisoner. He fcuried his head In his arms end wept. On several occasions during his term Corriettl has asked the warden ' to "open the gates and let me go," but now he Is satisfied, with remain ing within the gray walls, guards said. Years behind those walls have not robbed him of health and vigor, War den Davis said. But with a world that has -proceeded with bewildering speed since he entered the prison on convictiin of first-degree murder and sentenced to life November 22, 1911, Corriettl prefers to remain there the rest of his life. Despite his long years behind the bars, Corrletti shaves dally, dresses neatly and goes through exercises that have kept his body straight and strong. He reads educational books, the warden Bald. As a result of his personal care, the prisoner has not been 111 since confinement. "John has a perfect record here, Warden Davis said. "He would have been freed years ago had there been anyone to care for him." The prisoner's wife was believed living In Italy, and a son, who has not. been heard from since 1920, Is somewhere in the United States. Menus of the Day By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE. SUNDAY'S MENUS.

(AP) Ore- gons state tax levy for 1934 to be apportioned among the various coun ties will be 3, 139.422 .68, an Increase of 163.584.7fl over 1933, it was an nounced today by the state tax commission. W.hile some reductions have been made in state operating expenses by the action of the legislature and the governor in reducing wage scales and effecting other economies, these re ductions have been more than offset by restoration of the system whereby tne state Instead of the counties Is charged with the expense of caring for non-violent Insane In state in stitutions, as well as restoration of the half-mill tax for the bonus com mission. A reduction of the levy within the 6 per, cent limitation is shown, this item being 1,34B,060.43 for 1934 as against $1,565,047 58 for 1933. Outside of the 6 per cent limita tion the levy for 1934 is 1.790.472.35 as against 91,410.790.34 in 1933. A reduction of 3.050,386.32 in the state deficit of 4, 625,478.63 'existing on December 31, 1932, Is estimated for the blennlum. The estimate of deficit at the close of the present blennium Is fixed at $1,475,090.31. SACRAMENTO,. Cal. (UP) The only artemesia procera ever reported found in California chose the garden of D. B. Mackle, entomologist for the state department of agriculture, for Its home. Otherwise It probably would have been mistaken for a weed and pulled out of the rose bed. Mackle found it growing In his front yard and was mystified, being unable to explain whence it came. The plant is almost unknown out side of a botanical garden In Buffalo, N. Y. Its blossoms exude an un pleasant aroma. SINGLE GRAPE PROLIFIC LIFE EXETER, Cal (UP) New produc tion records are in prospect In the Fresno-Tulare Red Emperor vineyard belt. In one vineyard, particularly, pro ducing Its 37th yearly crop, total production was expected to mount to more than 950 cars, In 1897, when the Red Emperor market boomed and growers received thousands of dollars a carload for their product, George Frcvt and A. R. Carney of Exeter planted 70 acres of clippings obtained from a Fresno district vlneyardist. Since that time the vines have produced approximately 30 cars or fruit annually. Last season, in their 36th year, after growing to a diameter of five or six Inches, the plants bore their highest quality grapes. Forty five carloads went to market from the vineyard last season, according to W. Todd Dofflemyer, one of the present owners. This year Dofflemyer and other growers expect to obtain reasonable profits from the harvest. Not. they explained, the fabulous returns which marked the Industry's greatest year, when one carload of Emperors brought $4260. On the other hand, neither will a carload result In a $460 loss to the producer, as was recorded one year when the market collapsed, they said. SACRAMENTO, Cal. (UP) Cal ifornia's mineral production in 1932 totaled $199,196,493, a decrease of $16,767,927 from the 1931 output, ac cording to figures compiled by Wal ter W. Bradley, state mineralogist. Gold production increased from $10,814,612 In 1931 to $11,765,626 In 1932. A further Increase was ex pected this year. Mining experts predicted the output would total i $16,000,000 or more.
