gan work on the Snoqualmie rad
Tuesday. and has already accomplished
good results. He has two men and a
yoke of cattle steady at work. beside
himself when not on the mail route
lie assures us that he will keep on un-
til he carries a good road all the way
into Seattle if the citizens will foot the
bill. He believes in fixing it to stay
fixed as he goes along. He also says
the way for the public to get its mon
eys worth IN road work, is to hire good
men by the day. and pay them as the
work is performed. In this way. he
says 50 per cent will be saved over the
ordinary contract method.

The Base Ball Match.

SALEM, Ogn., Sept. 4th, 1917,
Alki Base Ball Ciub. Seattle. W. T.,
our communication of
August 9th came duly to hand, but ow-
ing 10 certain circumstances we have
not been able to answer yonr inquiries
until the present time.
The agricultural Society has offered
1900 cash premiums for base ball clubs
at the coming Fair-S2O0 for first, and
500 for second premium. Seven bona
ticie entries are required, entrance fee
$50.
About accommodations for your club,
if you intend coming, would suggest
that you write and engage rooms of ono
of the hotels S. +. Mathews and
Wesley Graves are the proprietors of
the Ckemeketa and Commercial hotels
respectively. All preliminary matters
in regard to how the games are to be
played will, of course, b, settled by
delegation from each OF the contest.ng
clubs
1t is my opinion that the best way to
settle the matter of championship will
be to make tournament of the affair,
requiring each clue to play every other
club that enters for the premiums, and
the club winning the greatest number
of games to be entitled to the first pre-
MUM. Also l deem it necessary for
your club to send at least one repre-
sentative over some three days before
the fair begins. in order to arrange
games, etc, and in order that you will
be satisfied in regard to the final ar
engagements
The grounds promise to be in good
condition. and we will see that they are
laid out" properly, black stops"
erected, etc. Perhaps it would be
proper for me to state that Mr.. Gray
resigned his position rs captain of our
nine on account of school duties. A.
b. Crossman officiates as President, and
g A. PEBBLES rs Secretary of our club;
but all communications in regard to the
coming contest you will please address
to me. Hoping to hear from you soon,
remain yours very respectfully.

Our Jail System.

Most of the readers ct the Enquirer are familiar with the faofs4 relating to the management ofour jail. Untll the cleo ton of our present sheriff. not quite nine years since, the county commissioners were in the habit of renting the jail to the jailer for a sum proportioned to the num- Der of prisoners in confinement there, the jailer receiving their board money of 8 a week from the Stats. ana making what profit he could out of their labor. With an average of from twelve to fifteen pris- oners the iailer generally paid about $500 year to the county. and furnished his own fuel1a saving of another $l00. 0.a-4>s-a'
 On taking possession of the jail in 1869. Sheriff. Baldwin refused to pay rent, and compelled che county to furnish him his fuel-a direct loss to the county in all of not less than $400 . year. In fact, when Sheriff Balduincommenced his frst term. the jail was then leased to Mir. H. B. Gib- bud for one year for the sum of $45O, and the removal of that officer cost the county treasury $450 rent and $100 more for fuel in that year alone. There was sharp com petition for the position of jailer at that time, and $450 a year was higher rent than usual. There seems no doubt, how ever, that in 1869. with an average of from 12 to 15 prisoners. jailer could we'll afford to pay $30O year rent and furnish his own fuel. We have prepared the fol. lowing table from the Cost Books of the County Clerk, showing the sums received from the state, for prisoners board, each year, from 1868 to the end of the April term of the present year:
