Mr.. Morgan's friends will be glad
to know that he is established in the

Mr.. G. r Stull and family, for

Camp" notoriety, [ was conducted
through the S ate prison. There
are 153 convicts there now, and the
number steadily increasing.
They are turning out some of the
best agricultural machinery in the
west. The State gets forty-fve
