To remedy this unlocked for condition iStrcet Commissioner Walt S. Low has extended this sewer to the water's edge. Under ordinary rivor conditions the main ewer as built several years ago run deep into the water but the drought this summer and consequent low stago of the river left it empty ing on the rivor bank.

L BRYANT, Manager PROBE OF- PRISON BY ATTORNEY GEN. CREATKGREAT STIR Money to Amount of $200 Cir culating Mysteriously Loses Guard Jcb Information coming to light yester day afternoon about a recent investi gation at the State Penitontiary car ried on by District Attorney Evans of Multnomah county and Attorney Gen eral Brown is causing a stir about the prison. One guard was dismissed not long ago, it is charged, for planning to receive money from a convict, al though, the guard protested that the money was to pass on into the hands of another convict for some mysterious purpose, and it is stated that there has been general talk among the con victs that a "piece of change" might be of gomo assistance in getting out of the Penitntiary. The report to tne cuect inai sucu tnllf l.na hwn jroinir on amonff tlie convicts coupled with the incident of the $'M0 led up to tne investigation. It developed that recently while Georgo Thacher, Portland criminal ex pert, was here, a cheek came out into Warden Murphy's office asking that 200 be raid over on tlie account of M. 8. Irving to Jack Monohau, an employment agent of Portland. The Wnnlcn keens the monev of the pris oners and if they wish to pay any of it out it is done through a check authorizing the Warden to pay the mnnev nnil he in turn uavs it through a personal check of his own out of the account or me prisoner wmcu is in e local bank under tne waruen name. In this instance Irvin said he owcu Monuhan the money and it was tor warded to him. Murphy and Thacher, howevor, were not satisfied with the appearance of the transaction and the investigation was made. It led to. Charles A. Sheriden, a guard, who finally is reported to have admitted to Attorney General Brown and District Attorney Evans that he was to receive he $200 back from Mona han, but he Stated that he in turn was to give it to James Connors, a convict and forger. There the trail ended and it has not developed what Connors was to do with the money. Sheridan was forthwith dismissed but tho Prisoners Aid Society took the matter up and is making a further probe into tho reason for the money being passed around to determine whether there is anything deepr bhind it than appears on the surface. Governor Withycombo de clare 'that the scheme is a "framo up" to discredit a prison official, whose name ho does not mention, but it is believed ho refers to Parole Officer Keller. He states that Keller has pro 'testcd against Irvin being granted a parole because Irvin at one time was paroled in the pas and violated that privilcgo by ltaving the state and that since that time Keller has consistently declared Irvin should not be paroled because he believed ho was not entitled to furthr consideration along that linei It is understood that the Prisoners' Aid Society will make a further in vestigation and a final report to the Governor as to the matter. Bert Yates, the man who attempted to kidnap his wife and who was indict ed bv tho grand jury on a charge of as sault 'with intent to kill was today re leased by the circuit court on the rec ommendations of tho prosecuting attor ney. The charge against him had been changed to that of assault and battery It seems that the relatives of Mrs. Yates did not caro to prosecute him, providing ho would agree to leave this part of the country and not molest Mrs. aYtos. It is understood that she will not dismiss her suit against him for a divorco. F. Oh Delano hat suggested to A. n. Lea, secretary of the state fair board, that as an extra attraction on Monday, tho first day of the fair, that he put on an automobile elimination raco. Around tho race track automo biles are placed at an equal distance fro meach other. At the given signal, tho race is on, but the car that is pass ed by anothre is declared out of the race by th6 referee. The race gees on until but two are left on the track and finally tho car that passes its last competitor is declared winner. If enough automobiles are entered it is thought that Secretary Lea will look with favor on tho suggestion. Registration day yesterday wag also a good day for the Oregon National Guard company to be recruited in Sa lem, as about 20 new nen signed up for service. At a meeting to De held in the annoYy' Sunday aftcmon, it is thought that the company can be of-, ficially organized with 100 members. Colonel Woolpert explains that the quickest way for a man to get in the service and at the same time go with his friends is to enlist with the Oregon National Guard as the chances are that the regiment will be federalized and ordered at once into service.
