European governments and steam
ship lines are already .advertising for
travel from America .to see the war
devastated East. Only a morbid cur
iosity could lead the* traveler hunt
ing recreation to visit such a scene.
Americans should see their own
country, and no section affords more
real pleasure in summer than a visit
to the Pacific Northwest, and partic
ularly Oregon. When Oregon gets
her good roads linked up for auto
travel we may expect this state to
become the paradise of the west for
the traveling public who seek beau
tiful scenery and a salubrious cli
mate. There is need for greater ad
vertising to induce visitors by mak
ing our merits known.—Telephone

and-down lie itself. An instance of
this last occurs in the case of charge
42, which reads:
“During the past winter and spring
streams of ice-cold water were pour
ed upon men confined in goal, and
they were compelled to lie all night
on cold floors in unheated sells in
their wet clothing. Many of them
were afterwards removed to hospit
als suffering from pneumonia.”
To which the answer is as follows:
“These statements are untrue. The
following constitutes the only pretex
for making such a charge;—On one
occasion in February last, four pris-
oners in Mountjoy Prison, after ex-
ercise, instead of returning to their
cells, climbed up to a ledge upon tl|r
roof of one of the wings of the pris-
on. They could not be reached or in
duced to come down, and, after being
repeatedly cautioned that if they did
not come down the hose would be
used, it became necessary to get them
down to use it. They did come'down.
The incident occurred in the presence
of the visiting Justices. Changes of
clothing were at once provided for
these prisoners. Two of them availed
themselves of the change of clothing.
The Medical Officer took charge of
the other two, and had one of them
removed to the hospital and the
other to bed. No illness resulted to
any of the prisoners.”
As an instance of the flat denial
type of reply, the case of charge 14
may be cited:
“Charge—Many of the persons the
delegates met in the vicinity of West
port corroborated the stories of bru
tal treatment to which prisoners in
Westpont goal were being subjected,
the details being horrible beyond
lief.
“Reply to charge—There is
prison in Westpont."
And so on through the entire
of-47 charges and answers. It is open
to anybody to say which side is a
monumental liar. One side or the
other is. To date, that is the only un
qualified certainty that emerges
from the controversy.
