This is a busy tunc of the year at
the Oregon penitentiary, and there ar;
very few idJe people around the big,
prison at the East end -of State street
at this season. Of the nf prisoners, in
tlie big penal institution, yesterday,
120 were employed in the manufactur
ing department of the Northwest Stove
Foundry, vchile nearly that many more
were employed in the prison, in the
fields, etc. ' i '
The foundry, which is the main source
rif revenue, is run to its full capacity,
and is turning out' a large amount of
work; During thie .month of (April the
average number oi prisoners employed
in its various departments was 120 per
.lay. and the state's receipts from this
work for the moitl reached the hand-,;
some sum of $1006.02.! . the Jargest
amount received front this source. dur-

No decision has yet been arrived at.
regarding the proposed improvements

appropriation of $15,000 is available.
It is 'probable, however, that the prison

Jrdging from the number of deeds
filed for record yesterday, in the office
oi the Marion county recorder ot con
veyances, the real estate market ap
pears to be somewhat livelier than was
the case in the past.
Among the dteds filed was one by
which M. Howe, the Turner merchant,
transfers to Fidelity Lodge No. 36,
I .O. O. F.. a lot and the store build
ing, the upper floor of which has. for
the past ten years, been the home of
the lodge. The building is one of the
most substantial framt structures in
Marion county, and could not be con
structed for the sum paid for it by the
iodge. The lodge room is as good as
can be found in a small town in the
valley, of ample size, and comfortably
and conveniently arranged, and v the
Turner Odd Fellows are to be von
gratulated .upon their purchase ofso
neat and valuable a home for the small
amount paid for it. Arrangements
are underway for the proper dedica
tion of the new possession of the lodge
which, it is hoped, will take place with
imposing ceremonies at no ..distant
day.
Among the documents placed on re
cord yesterday were ten deeds, with an
aggregate consideration of $55501 Three
satisfactions of mortgages were also
recorded, for $1800. $700 and $200. re

A: fact which illustrates in a remark
able manner the character of the late
Bishop Williams has not as yet,, we
believe, been mentioned in print. It
will be remembered th-at, in his will,
after providing for personal gifts to a
few friends he left to the Berkeley Di
vinity school such books from' his
library as it should desire and all the
remainder of his property, the second
choice from his library being given to
Trinity college. It was noted at . t the
time of the bishop' death that, in spite
of the simplicity of "hi way of. living
and the sufficiency ofjjtis salary from
the j diocese, he had but about $20,000
invested: his unostentatious liberality.
