Governor West spoke 88 follows: "I came to your county because I felt that it was my duty to be here, and if circumstances permit I am going to visit every other county in the state in like manner. It is one of our du ties to become faimliar with the needs of each individual part of this state. The State Land Board has not been as well versed as it should have been with the various land cases under litigation in your country, otherwise it would have been able to settle in a very short time the Warner Valley case which has extended over a period of about 25 year. Other matters to be attended to are tl.e various irrigation projects. The men at the head of some of these enterpri-"3 are trying to plav big games, wven oy right they should try ten-cent ante. We are going to make . them s'-.j their hand. They must do someti.'g of let the lands go back to the Government and be thrown i pen for settlement. "One of the things which greatly surprised me here was the work ten done bv the Oreeon Valley Land torn whole years he had been outside of the penitentiary only once, and then to be fitted for glasses.

"Another tiring which I am i'i , favor of is not putting a tax on school j bonds.

The work is now very . near completion and the eompary will soon have water running in the ditcn-1 es, and no doubt we may then expect ; to see many more people here. ; "One of this couniy's greatest i eeds , is a railroad.

Your stock leave here fat and i-leek. but on reachirg the rail road after walking a distance of per haps sixty miles or more are thin, poor and show little resemblance to what to sit down and after finding out from him that he had formerly worked in a shoe shop asked him if there was any reason why the men in the "pen" couldn't be organized and taught to make their own shoes. He didn't know, of any good reason why the thing couldn't be done ami I decided to think the matter over. I finally dis missd him after telling him to go down town, take a look around, see some of the sights, and then return to his cell. This he did without making the least attempt whatever at escape, although he had every chanc to make a "get away." Several days later I again sent for bim an.l asked him if he would . go to I'ortland. select the necessary machinery to equip a shoe plant and hire a tr.iin capable to take charge. He went on his mission, pur chased the machinery, hired a capable e i man to ryn the plant and returned to t Ills ceil ttni.i wmmui innrMHK me- idi Attorney General Crawford followed Dr. Duly, and his remarks were as follows: "The prime object of our visit here at this time is to take up the j 'f . water matter of sett mi? once and for a mi cooe time the various tracts of lands which volumn are in litigation, and to get informa tion as to the segrorated public lands in yoin county. Some of these latter lands should never have been with drawn. One of the projects which we are to look into is the one at l'aisley. Many of the citizens of your county insist that the w ithdrawal of these , lands under the Carev Act w as entirely j w rong, and that artesian water can j be obtained in that locality at from ' $"'HI to $1000 per quarter section. If so. there U no doubt but what the ar- tvaian water would be cheaper in the ; long run.

Iliill't leave Luke Onlililv w Ithoiil s.-emg thin Villley, Jennings-Meyer Realty Company VALLEY FALLS OREGON "One of the questions which as confronted me since becoming Gover nor was"How to reduce costs of ad ministrate n and bring about more co-operation." At the penitentiary there were about five hundred men w ho were costing the state each month about 113 per bead. The money ap propriated at the last session was not suflicient to take care of all these men. and the problem was "what should be done'" I studied the matter over and finally came to the conclusion that there were many men in that institu tion,who should be out. and that it should in time be made self-supporting. These men were formerly i riven around in a bull ring for exercise. I finally decided to try out the proposi tion of putting these fellows, only those wnom we call "trusties." in the various State buildings at Salem and at the present time there are one hun dred and forty four of these working without guards. It gives them a chance to make men out of themselves, and saves that much money for the State, as these men receive only 25 cents per day whereas they occupy the positions of men who were receiving $2.50 and upwards per day from the State. "Many of these fellows are victims of circumstances. I will relate a little story il.,i ci.c f them, who had shot a bartender in a Southern Oregon ealoon and was sent up. For nine to try this out and the results so far have in every way been satisfactory. ' At one of the State buildings we now have fourteen convicts working under another member of the institution, and ' they are all ge.ting along in fine shape : w ithout the least bit of trouble. Most ! of these fellows are not criminals in I the sense that we take it and are desir I ous of becoming belter men. They are willing workers and I believe that a few of them put at work on your roads with a rock crusher would save a Dig ; expense and be of much benefit to ! your country. If Doctor Daly is will- j ing to try this out at any time I will i try to send the necessary men here. j " "In turning these fellows loose be- j fore the expiration of their sentence or after they have Berved a full term i in the "pen" it iB my policy to find ; jobs for them all. For instance, if a ' man was sent up for stealing horses , in Lake county the chances are he , w ill return to his old haunts and indul ge in the same old practice if he is simply turned loose at the prison gates, with practically no money in his poc ket, no employment and chances for employment very small when it is known that he has served a term in the "pen." 'i'o avoid anything of this sort I am going to trv to find employment for every man who ia discharged, not in the county from which he was sent up. but in some other county where he will have a chance to forget his past career and where people will not re mind him of it and be more likely to give him a better show to make a man of himself.
